Bon voyage, Ayyan Ali. Now that you have got your passport, you can travel to Dubai and live happily thereafter. Celebrate New Year with whoever you want there. Just say a prayer for Customs Inspector Ijaz Chaudhry who was murdered by target killers. What a coincidence that he was killed and I am sure there was no link with your currency smuggling incident and the fact that he was a prime witness.
It seems Islamic Republic of Pakistan was made for the likes of you. We must appreciate the unanimity of purpose across political divide when it comes to dealing with high profile financial crimes, transfer of money abroad and money laundering. As for our foreign exchange reserves, our brilliant financial wizards will float another Eurobond at rates nobody can resist. In the process, if Pakistan goes bankrupt, you don’t have to worry about it because donor countries have an eye on our nuclear assets.
