(Pakdestiny.com) Pakistan Finance Minister Ishaq Dar faced acute embarrassment when International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde today made an honest opinion about Panama Papers.
“Panama Papers and Bahama Leaks are a matter of honesty, transparency and accountability” Christine Lagarde said on the final day of her maiden two-day visit to Pakistan at a press conference alongside Ishaq Dar in Islamabad.
“And that is the best way to go forward whether it is Panama or Bahama or whatsoever,” she said in response to a question regarding involvement of Pakistani leaders in Panama Papers scandal.
Dar was taken by surprise by her comments and got upset how to respond. It appeared that moment that Ms Lgarde is also demanding accountability of Nawaz Sharif for his family’s off-shore holdings.
Dr tried to to save the skin of the government over the Panama Leaks by saying “there is no justification of the political agitation regarding the case”. He said the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) sit-in in Islamabad on Nov 2 will cause inconvenience to the people and affect business and economy.
Poor Dar must have been thinking that Ms Lagarde should have chosen some other day to speak on Panama. – Pak Destiny
I think it is quite shameful when a government humilates its country at different forums
PML-N will simply ignore the corruption alligation as a mere PTI rhetoric.They have not ever deliberated how to improve existing structures.How to generate jobs in private sector.All over the world it is private sector which derives the economy.But since these brothers are no longer in touch in practcal terms with private small and medium enterprisers (which they now look down upon),they cannot improve its performance.Its the small and mefium businesses which derives economies.
Ishaq Dar is a master juggler. He can manipulate figures convenie
Pity – the ‘cartel’ is very strong.
They are using all possible tools to counter this corruption of theirs highlighted in the Panama papers.
