"Nawaz Sharif wants to talk to Kulsoom Nawaz before he hears the verdict in the Avenfield flats (plural - as in four) case and this emotional plea to the court, the first of its kind in legal history of the world leave alone this country..."
"There is always a first."
"Right, besides a three time prime minister..."
"Who was dismissed all three times before the end of his tenure, twice for corruption and once because that dratted Mossack Fonseca could not ensure the integrity of its account holders and......"
"Oh, don't be facetious, but you know once a legal precedence is set others in a similar position would invoke it and..."
"Hmm, and what about some gang members... would they engineer one of their near and dear ones fall ill to be able to take advantage..."
"Oh stop it, anyway the four flats that Nawaz Sharif is currently staying in - and stays whenever he visits that city..."
"Ownership has never been in doubt and the flats show the business acumen of Nawaz Sharif's three children - the permanent residents and non-permanent residents..."
"Business acumen?"
"To purchase flats in that area was a good business decision. To set up a trust and get a non-resident and non-British member of the family to be the beneficial owner shows they had a good accountant."
"Yep, but a good accountant does not mean safe from prosecution for only as long as no one asks the question."
"I want to point out to you that the Khan's Bani Gala property has multiplied in value but not by as much as these Avenfield flats - and that is the difference between a cricketer and a businessman's grandchildren!?"
"I wasn't aware that grand daddy was a real estate mogul. I mean he was into the scrap business or was it steel making and..."
"Precisely, and one grandson claims he ran the steel business successfully which generated money for the other grandson who is into the lucrative real estate business...."
"What about the two daughters?"
"We have not heard about the one married to Dar's son so I presume, with an accountant for a father in law, her accounts are in order. Her name has not come up in any of the cases..."
"But Dar's did - the case against him being wealth in excess of his income..."
"I am amazed at the courts....why don't they ask him if the 93 times jump in his wealth post dates his son's marriage with Nawaz Sharif's daughter; and there is no gift tax in this country so his wealth can be justified..."
"Don't be facetious."
