How Pakistan, Lashkar and ISI Exploit the Drug Trade | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Is Pakistan financing terror through narcotics? In a major revelation, India’s NIA confirmed in court that a 2021 drug bust at Mundra Port — involving 3,000 kg of heroin — was linked to the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba and Pakistan’s ISI. The drugs were smuggled into India disguised as legal imports like talc and coal. The findings raise serious questions about Pakistan’s long-standing involvement in narco-terrorism and a disturbing trend in Kashmir, where over 67,000 youth are now addicted to heroin — 90% of which is believed to be trafficked from across the border.
