A video clip has surfaced showing people openly selling drugs in Karachi Quaidabad area. In a video, drug peddlers can be seen freely selling heroin, ice and crystal meth in the limits of police station Shah Latif Town, Karachi. Drug sellers are active in Murghi Khana, Gobri Ground, Gosh Gali and under the Quaidabad flyover. Earlier, in a viral video people were seen queuing up outside a window of a house in Karachi Baloch Para to buy narcotics. It was worth mentioned here that the Sindh Assembly in August the current year echoed with concerns over the growing trend of sale and use of synthetic drugs and narcotics in the city as opposition lawmakers raised the issue in the house urging the provincial government to take steps to curb the menace. On that time replying to a call attention notice moved by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Saeed Ahmed Afridi, Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that the provincial government had a zero-tolerance policy against the use and peddling of drugs. Mr Memon said that the Pakistan Peoples Party Sindh government was committed to eradicate the drugs menace, adding that the drugs were smuggled to Sindh from other provinces where the PPP was not in power.
