I developed links with drug smugglers after entering into politics,particularly after becoming Law Minister in the Punjab cabinet,” Sanaullahadmitted in his statement, according to the ANF challan.
“I felt that a few politicians known to me became billionaires and bigleaders of almost all political parties made properties through illegalmeans. I was from middle class and developed a greed after meeting them.
The business of drug smuggling and abetting criminals suited me well. So Istarted facilitating and helping drug dealers and gradually started sendingnarcotics through my personal vehicles.
It was easy way to avoid police, etc. as being an influential person noone dared to check my vehicle,” Sanaullah confessed in his statement,according to the four-page ANF challan submitted before the court onTuesday.
“I got drugs from Afghans in Faisalabad and then other drug dealers gotthese drugs from me at different points for smuggling abroad to differentcountries,” read the statement.
