Few days ago Indian officials had arrested a truck driver illegally transporting drugs . Afghanistan and Pakistan are drug hubs now .
Oh god, No please.
@rasgullah:
Yeah true, Pakistan surely has some really bad neighbors especially on its eastern side, sad na??
All things which are not good will surely have a Pakistani connection.
Pakistan is becoming drug capitol of the world. Few weeks ago some people tried to smuggle drugs to India via kashmir route but blamed the Indians.
The source of all these drugs is Afghanistan. The Taliban make most of their money from the drugs trade. They finished product is routed through Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Unless these nations have strict punishment for the couriers, this will not stop.
