ISLAMABAD: The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) seized a huge haul of drugs worth more than Rs1 billion from a fishing boat during a raid on an island off Karachi’s coast, ARY News reported.

Sources said the ANF intelligence wing conducted the raid last night. On seeing the ANF personnel, they added, suspected drug smugglers opened fire and managed to flee the scene, leaving the narcotics in the boat.

Why PPPP has to oppose and even threaten Federal Government for taking over these Islands. Not just that but much of them are used for many of activities (transporting/dumping) of different commodities.

Island are part of Qasim port authority, which means they are part of federal, as the port is federal.

President explains all of this (watch from 1min mark). PPP is just using the sindhi card to play the ethnicity card, and prevent any development.
