  1. Kia Bakwaas hai. There is no law that prohibits the practice. If a peon has a Billion in his account, it cannot be siezed automatically even if the peon disowns the money. Did Falooda account money siezed.
    Change the fu**ing law.

    • It’s people like you who support these criminal looters of the country called politicians. They have treated the country like a prostitute.
      F you all.

    • What are you smoking? concealing funds in someone else’s account is a crime! the A** hole will get away from it as there would be no proof that its actually his funds, atleast a small dent in his fortune, please donate the money to the needy

    • Every penny has to have the source explained, have you ever filed taxes? I am sure not. I sometimes have trouble explaining a few thousand that I have mistakenly put in the wrong head, can’t imagine a billion….

  2. Why not take immediate action of confiscating the money. What are they waiting for. Some sort of signal from almighty or portion of the corrupt Money as bribe.

  3. Needs deep thinking. Let us hand over Pakistan to a group who is not worried out anything like constitutional rule of law and let them sort all this out

  4. Nothing will happen to him. He will get away with it like the moron called Zardari and a puff called bilawal. Only the corrupt survive in Pakistan. We need a Castro in Pakistan

  5. I thought tax evasion and money laundering is a punishable offence. Well turns out not for politicians. We need law to be tightened or a tougher leader the likes of Hadrat Umar al khatab RA Farooq e Azam. the clerk can open a food bank for the poor. Imagine how many he can feed with the billions.
