Musa Gilani’s name has been singled out as prime suspect in Rs 7 billion drug-related scandal. Musa Gilani, son of Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, has been singled out as prime suspect in Rs 7 billion drug-related scandal. This factor was exposed on Thursday during review of a petition filed by ANF (Anti Narcotics Force) requesting the 3-member bench convened by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) to defer an earlier petition regarding illegal allocation of quota for Afradrain , a drug used in flu-related sicknesses. Declaring the issue as of a highly sensitive nature, the CJP refused the request of ANF to defer the issue and ordered authorities concerned to submit all correspondence between ANF and Secretary Anti-Drug Division (ANCD) regarding the issue, besides all allotment papers, and usage of the drug, by April 28. “Why do you want to rescind your petition; are you afraid?” quizzed the CJP to ANF commander, Brigadier Naeem. “You being a commander should have the courage to stand up; as the masses would be at total loss without your courage,” the CJP added. The ANF commander replied that he was not afraid, and backed out from rescinding ANF’s earlier petition. Meanwhile, the investigative officer informed that one person named Tauqeer, claiming to be secretary of PM’s son Musa Gilani, was able to get himself allocated a quota for more than allowed quota of 500 kilos to a massive 9,000 kilos. The investigative officer also informed that, secretary ANCD had also referred of involvement of one high-profile political entity; upon which the apex court informed that this was Musa Gilani in person. The court was informed by ANF that the entire case had been thoroughly investigated with a detailed inquiry, while Joint Investigation Team (JIT) had also prepared a comprehensive report; which was gathering dust, while the government had failed to implement it. It is pertinent to note that during the allotment of the said quota, Nargis Sethi was posted as Secretary Health, and this chemical is globally used for drug-related preparations.
