So many pretenders out there trying to do 'satire', but the king of satire remains to be NFP. Witty, sharp, irreverent.

It is nice piece however you seem to have a soft corner for the other most corrupt ruler of Pakistan's history. As for Nawaz League , Imran is behind everything that exposes their corruption. They are angry because that they are exposed but not ashamed that they are corrupt.

Sir NFP, some of the PPP Leaders in Panama papers are:
1. Benazir Bhutto; former Chairperson and former Prime Minister.
2. Senator Rahman Malik; former Interior Minister
3. Senator Osman Saifullah
4. Senator Waqar
5. Gohar Ejaz; financier of PPP and owner of Lake City Holdings
To the disappointment of many, Mr 10% Asif Zardari's name is not in the list because he deals in CASH (remember Ayyan Ali smuggling millions of $$$) and through FRONTmen including Jawed Pasha, Fawzi Ali Kazmi, Khwaja Anwar Majid and Owais Muzaffar Tappi etc
