Pakistan’s President and Prime Minister are tax evaders!

Last updated on: December 14, 2012 at 8:40 am By Desh Kapoor

In an interesting piece of news, a Pakistani report suggests that 66% of their elected leaders did NOT file any Income Tax returns. Rest filed with incomes so low that it is almost a mockery. Almost – perhaps all – all evade taxes. So much so that the country’s President Asif Ali Zardari and PM Raja Pervez Ashraf BOTH are tax evaders! The Centre for Investigative Reporting in Pakistan’s report said two-thirds of the country’s elected political leaders failed to... Read more

Last updated on: December 14, 2012 at 12:03 am By Desh Kapoor

Last updated on: December 13, 2012 at 2:59 pm By Desh Kapoor

A very interesting and credible argument from Najam Sethi on why 26/11 was planned by the elements in Pakistani Establishment at that time. Why not earlier, why at that time only?
