Panama Papers — Who is going to ask Pakistanis to pay their taxes now?Here’s a question for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif: How can you look the people of Pakistan in the eye and tell them to pay their fair share of taxes when your own sons and daughter are (reportedly) shifting money to the British Virgin Islands to minimise their tax bill as much as possible?
As the dust has settled from the revelations of the Panama Papers, it is becoming increasingly clear that the practices being used by members of the Sharif family were not unique — in fact, far from it.
Instead, a picture is emerging of a morally repugnant and legally dubious practice being used on a wide scale by people who are at the very top of the political and economic ladder in Pakistan.
