The Supreme Court of Pakistan has barred three bank chiefs from leaving the country. The issue at hand is money-laundering at mind-boggling and monumental scale. The FIA has unearthed a chain of fraudulent and bogus accounts through which the banks involved have allowed billions and billions to fly out of this country. It is not a story of the FLIGHT OF CAPITAL as some may want to describe it. It is the story of an organized PLUNDER OF PAKISTAN.
Hussain Lawai is one of the bank chiefs involved in this story. And his Zardari-connection is not a huge state secret. No wonder both Zardari Sahib and his ‘talented’ sister Ms Faryal Talpur are among the beneficiaries of the exploits of the banks involved. Precisely why they too are likely to find themselves on the Exit Control List, popularly known as ECL.
This explosive development has come at a critical moment. The countdown to the National Polls 2018 has begun. We are no more than 16 days away from the hour of reckoning.
Mian Nawaz Sharif, the KEY POLITICAL FIGURE of the country for about one-third of a century stands convicted — sentenced to ten years imprisonment of rigorous nature.

It is an ironical situation. A dilemma for the people. A challenge for the institutions upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility of preserving the interests of the State.
A comment in the end about a statement Maryam has made. DON’T COMPARE ME WITH BENAZIR BHUTTO.
Surely not. BB will rise from her grave to protest against THIS INSULT.
