Habibullah Qaderi, counternarcotics minister during former president Hamid Karzai’s government, says the then government failed to win the war on drugs due to corruption and money Afghanistan received in this regard was mostly ended up with foreign companies.
Qaderi rclaims many officials in the Karzai administration, including some cabinet members, were involved in drug trafficking. He also said the caretaker government had banned cultivation of drugs, but he did not think there had been much difference in their cultivation.
He praised the Islamic Emirate for collecting and treating drug addicts. Talking at “Sarnawesht” (Destiny) program, Habibullah Qaderi said former President Hamid Karzai would talk about fighting the menace of drugs and would take part in related programs, but he failed to appoint clean people at that time.”
