A Lahore-based property man who is a “paragon” of virtue (get it?) recently arranged his daughter’s wedding.
Though Malik Riaz has already established how the property magnates can now run circles around the “proper” businessmen, this fellow’s daughter’s trousseau was the sort that used to feature in fairy tales. Apart from an obscenely expensive (as opposed to extremely expensive) bridal dress, the poor (only figuratively) girl’s jewellery probably weighed more than her.

The fuselages, engines and auxiliary power units of perfectly functioning A-310 aircrafts of our national airline were sold at a rate lower than what they would have gotten in the scrap market, a shocking internal investigation reveals.
Three individuals are said to be behind the dubious sell-off. Two foreigners and one retired air-force man.
The top dog here, one of the two foreigners, has been granted a 15-day leave, but can’t leave the country since his name is on the Exit Control List.
Corruption, as we should know well by now, isn’t a Pakistanis-only affair.
