Chunks of the massive amount of money in drug trade in Bangladesh are used to “buy many people” who lead society, AKM Mozammel Haque believes.

The Liberation War affairs minister aired his views at a news conference after presiding over a meeting of the Cabinet committee on law and order at the Secretariat in Dhaka on Tuesday.

The government has ordered the intelligence agencies to identify the patrons of the drug traders as it has decided to shift the focus to catching the bigwigs involved in drug trafficking, he said.

“The drug situation is sufficiently under control, but we want improvement,” the minister said.
