"So what do you reckon?"
"I don't think the Prime Minister's family did anything illegal in taking money out as during his tenure in 1992 he passed the Pakistan Economic Reforms Act allowing the opening of foreign currency accounts in Pakistan, earning tax-free interest on these accounts, and taking out the money as and when it pleases the account holder..."
"I get it, so if the terms of reference is to prove the legality of the Mossack Fonseca accounts held by his children for the yet to be established commission, inquiry or investigation, then it would be proved that his family did not engage in any illegal activity."
"I think so though he should change his accountant."
"Why?"
"He gave the children such bad advice - and I am referring to the contradictions in the statements of the three older children over the years that simply do not gel with the claims made by the Sharif family with respect to date of ownership of the Mayfair flats, and this information is easily available in a UK court..."
"How do you know an accountant gave the advice? And I know who you are referring to but Dar sahib is now the Finance Minister and I doubt it very much if he is doing the accounts of his benefactor and samdhi and..."
"Well, if it's a new accountant then he must be fired."
"But he may be privy to some information..."
"OK, then make him the Minister of State for Finance."
"Don't be facetious anyway I was not asking your opinion about the Mossack Fonseca leaks I was asking your opinion about the recent social media uploads on Mian sahib's activities in London, and I refer to three such activities....first a British man expressing his disgust at Mian sahib for eating in a very expensive place while more than 60 percent of Pakistanis have no access to clean drinking water, then the extremely expensive tailoring shop which Mian sahib visited and third his sale price which is petty cash for any of his children."
"London is not what it used to be I say."
"Don't be facetious."
"No seriously, I would urge Mian sahib to get a place in the US or...or...Panama... Dr Waqar Masood apparently had a chat with the Panamanian..."
"You are so bad."
