Reason vs Power Players (Panama papers and accountability)

Panama papers phenomena has emerged across the globe as Ukraine and Iceland's heads of state have tendered their resignation for investigation to go ahead unhindered while Brazilian president Dilma roussef has been suspended in impeachment process. David Cameron has also faced severe criticism in parliament. In Pakistan, opposition seems to have moral, logical high ground in demanding accountability of the corrupt. But PM has the required characters to divert the attention from government. Therefore the saga will continue to unfold. Army's call for solution to this deadlock is tailor made for opposition to chant favorable slogan for the strongman but the issue is not looking to be solved merely by a snub. PM is also not in a mood to step back as historically he has been pressurized into. Presently everybody is required to hoold their heads and devise a solution to catch corrupt and punish them and this route can make Pakistan on an optimistic road to accountability. Imran Khan will continue to explore short term solution anyhow, but real problem with his campaigning is the hole in his boat, his wing-men who also have offshore accounts. This has tarnished PTI'S rhetoric and exposed by government actors. One PTI leader challenged PML-N that he is ready to bring back offshore accounts provided PM does the same. This is en effect equalizes both PTI and PML-N over the issue. Big media houses and lawyers are guilty of unduly supporting government point of view looking as if hardcore PML-N supporters more than experts. They severely criticized opposition more so PTI and sometimes PPP as well. This one sided approach has jeopardized the search for a feasible accountability solution to throw corrupt behind bars. Recently disclosed offshore accounts of Jahangir tareen and Aleem khan has not invited calls for accountability across the board but unfortunately these issues were used to justify PM's secret offshore accounts which is regrettable. For now Aitezaz and company can hope for a miracle because media, NGOs, lawyers and for the time being army is silent on this issue. This has not yet been dubbed as people's problem so time is going to tell whether this issue will become people's issue or just drain out like other issues.
