[@Ali1997SA]

You might not agree with Shabir Zaidi, at least he has the courage and insight to speak .

[@dodiraj1]

No amnesty was given in India in 2018. The last amnesty was given during the UPA Govt.

Not only in Dubai....All over the world billion dollars invest there....

[@Shobyw]

Settle the assets that don’t have a money trail against the loans!! Simple

When Chowkidaar & kotwal both are corrupt then this is what happens !!!

[@DrAahad-xo6ev]

I see actual issue is Intelectual corruption; janab now humonoid robots autonomous can accurately do the all job tasks. Its simple solution is campanion humonoid robots do not recognise and characterised the influencers, leaders and haves hence no-corrupt practices would be happen.

[@masoodmuhammad9362]

Offshore Assets And Money is black money and corruption money.

[@mirfanali1937]

The corrupt Punjab army has truly shown its true colors once again, Dumping these PPP scumbags onto Karachiites purely to reap illicit gains. In a recent move, DHA has ordered 5000 acres of land in Hawks Bay, with Murad Ali Shah directing the revenue board to allocate it. The last clean seashores we enjoyed will now be plagued, transforming into yet another Phase 8-style open sewage drain system. Bravo!

[@taimurahmed92]

I agree with Shabbat Zaidi’s point regarding non-filers. In Canada, if you don’t file your tax return the government sends an immediate court order to all financial institutions stating your tax liability and asks them to immediately send money from your accounts, investments, etc. to the govt to settle the tax liability. If there are any refunds or incorrect calculation of tax amount, you can claim it by filing the tax with the government.

[@ViewsGoogler]

When Pakistani does business on cash, how can government take tax?

[@Abdullah-fx1ek]

He should talk about those assets which has been given to officers by law...and those assets are more then what we have in other countries 😂

[@ZafarIqbal-qe2po]

Where did the young generation of Pakistan go? At least the host must be young, and why is this in English language, when 97% of Pakistanis don't know / speak English. Thank you

اسلام علیکم ظفر اقبال صاحب کیا ممکن ھے کہ اپ سوال اردو میں پوچھ لیں. نہ شبر زیدی صاحب کی سمجھ آئی، اور نہ سننے والوں کے سوال کی. وسلام

[@ZafarIqbal-qe2po]

شبر زیدی کی گفتگو بہت اچھی اور فائدہ مند ہوتی ہے. لیکن سمجھ نہیں آتا کہ پاکستان کے نوجوان لوگ کہاں چلے گئے؟ کم از کم ہوسٹ کو ینگ ہونا چاہیے. اور انگریزی بے شک انٹرنیشنل زبان ہے لیکن اس طرح کے پروگرام اردو زبان میں ہونے چاہیے نہ کہ انگریزی میں. 98 فیصد پاکستانیوں کو انگریزی کی سمجھ نہیں آتی ہے. شکریہ​@@kashifadnan7898

ڈالر باہر اس لئے نہیں گیا تھا یا ہے یہ باہر واپسی کے لئے نہیں گیا۔

[@bestofsatish]

Japan, South Korea defense expenditure was only 0.8% of GDP. Given Pakistan does not have luxury of IT exports, they have to cut defense expenditure which is a drag on the economy. Also it will help India to reduce defense expenditure

[@asmasiddiqi1]

How was the money transferred to Dubai etc.

[@mirfanali1937]

If we aspire to enact significant reforms, it is imperative to dismantle the existing business empire of the Punjab army and armed forces and establish a new one characterized by a majority of Urdu-speaking, Gilgiti, Pashtun, and Baloch individuals, with a limited representation of Punjabis. The overwhelming influence of Punjabis/Sindhis in every sector poses a considerable security risk. Our economy thrived when Karachi served as the capital. However, the moment the Punjab army unlawfully shifted the capital from Karachi to Punjab, a downward spiral commenced. After over 50 years of Punjabi/Sindhi dominance, we find ourselves on the brink of collapse in a defaulted state. Punjabis/Sindhis should not be permitted to persist in its control, as it has proven to be a catastrophic force over the past five decades.

[@rakadus]

If a society has people / groups of people with differing attitudes, the resulting multi dimensional impact on society is a net positive. Group thinking, single directional thought and lack of self corrective mechanisms are absent in a homogeneous society.

[@masoodmuhammad9362]

شبر زیدی صاحب نے کبھی نئے انڈسٹری زونز کی بات نہیں کی، جب تک انڈسٹری نہیں لگے گی تو اس وقت تک ایکسپورٹ نہیں بڑھی گی۔

[@user-mg5jf9dk7m]

نئی انڈسٹری لگانے کے لئے ماحول کو ساز گار بنانا ،ٹیکس ریفارم ،بنیادی ڈھانچہ تبدیل کرنا۔ امپورٹ ایکسپورٹ کو سہل بنانا اولین شرط ھے۔ جس کا ذکر شبر زیدی بار بار کر چکے ھیں۔ شبر زیدی نے ھمارے معاشی ماڈل کو امپورٹ بیس کی بجائے ھمیشہ ایکسپورٹ بیس بنانے کی ضرورت پر زور دیا ھے۔

[@dourbeen]

​@@user-mg5jf9dk7m shabbar sahab is biased in favor of india against china and openly against cpec. He supported a pipeline from iran to india yet against anything for china.

[@salmansaleem2957]

What Mr Shabbar saying that Pakistani local investors does not believe onto our local policies and they are asking to transfer their assets outside Pakistan. Although Mr Shabbar said many times that our policies are not industrialist friendly…

[@farahsalahuddin]

Karachi as capital will change pakisran’s trajectory by leaps and bounds. Coastal cities are always progressive. Bring capital back to Karachi and let the smartest minds transform the country

[@sewaligoswami781]

Progressive! That's an interesting choice of word.

[@DrAahad-xo6ev]

Shaubber Zaidi sb! Ten provinces who would constitute? Kyani, and Bajwa sb etc despite service extension could not done the desirous conceptualized jurisdictions.

[@SulemanAbbas-jp3im]

nahi sawal yeah hai nahi.... meray khayal mein har power mein sirf wohi shaks asakta hai jo national interest ky ilawa/anti soch (selfish ho) rakhay.... lakin shabbar itni badi badi batein kar raha yeah .... dubai leaks anay say pehlay kaha tha despite the fact he had gone through the returns of the most such influential people, seems illogical and very dubious... im sorry shabbar is just an annoyance, has no mental capcity to formulate a logically coherent argument let alone doing something well on his own, just makes stories

[@dourbeen]

Was it kayani and bajwas job.. Im sure they didn't even try. And even if they had tried they would have failed... point fingers towards right people.

[@hassunhus]

So many important topics were not touched on, funds parked outside of Pakistan r being taxed there, yet ppl park it there and not in Pakistan....y ? Bcz Pakistan is unsafe, Pakistan is in the hands of foj and they r the most uncouth elements of this god forsaken land. Secondly, u don't get anything in return for ur taxes, no medical facilities, no safety, no security, in fact the state of Pakistan is the biggest enemy of the ppl of Pakistan.....ur life, honor and property r all at risk at the hands of this state. Thirdly, the FBR ppl, the army ppl, the politicians all parking there money out side of Pakistan, y then anyone else wld not......the state of Pakistan itself is the biggest criminal. This is the crux of the matter but ofcourse Zaidi was unable to touch on that and no one else wld either for the fear of reprisal from the state.....u c this is what this state is and this is the reason y u have to leave asap !
