If all of it was actually destroyed that's a big achievement,Well, Pakistan Coast Guards has destroyed drugs worth nearly 700 million dollars.
View attachment 916350
To me, these are not drugs being destroyed but its a lost revenue.
Why Pakistan couldn't export it to countries where its halal. We are asking IMF for 1 billion dollar and we gladly destroy 0.7 billion dollar ? Does not make any sense. These whisky bottles are not kind of item that you could not export.
Also, these kind of stunts raises many questions, like:
- how much control the civil / federal govt has on this sector ? OR all control / full powers are with Pakistan Army (Coast Guards)
- Do Army Officers take unique items / valuables or items caught during smuggling . Is there any channel to inform federal govt ?
- Why Army persists to keep Coast Guard under it. Everywhere in the world, the coast guards are under navies. Pakistan is a unique case where it has 3 forces working on the sea. 1) Navy 2) PMSAA (navies version of coast guard) 3) Pakistan coast guard (under Army)
I think, there should be mechanism to involve federal govt input and mechanisms to export items (which can be exported) instead destroying it.
Few things
1 Big ask who was trying to get this much of the drug in Pakistan, not a small amount?
In regards to your point, Whiskey might be for the Photo shoot but most likely it has other more expensive and more dangerous drugs which should not be sold.
As our religion doesn't allow us to SELL these so it's very understandable.
