ISLAMABAD: Senator Rana Sanaullah has revealed that a massive drug industry is thriving in the Tirah Valley, with terrorists making substantial financial gains from it.
While talking to the media, Senator Rana Sanaullah and the Prime Minister’s political advisor reported that 12000 acres of Tirah Valley land serve as cannabis cultivation sites which terrorists use to finance their operations.
Sanaullah stated that authorities will treat terrorists with maximum force because they will pursue terrorists until they locate their hiding spots. He instructed Tirah community leaders to prevent terrorists from taking refuge in their areas, while he requested residents to support security personnel in their missions.
The Senator stated that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa authorities understand the current situation yet they present a false image of their ignorance. He accused the provincial government of refusing to acknowledge the problem, fearing political loss, particularly the fallout from supporting an operation similar to the one faced by the Awami National Party (ANP).
Sanaullah stated to the public that citizens must expect an operation to occur at any moment because the government maintains a policy that leads people to evacuate their homes for protection.
Senator Rana Sanaullah announced that the February 8 demonstration will honour the electoral process, while Maulana Fazlur Rehman will show his backing for government operations.
He accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party of conducting electoral fraud during the 2018 elections which Maulana Fazlur Rehman will use to announce February 8 as a “Black Day” demonstration against PTI.
Sanaullah finished his speech by declaring that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has experienced continuous unfair treatment through restricted thinking.
