TP,
If any other supporting evidence was required, just look at the cache of names uncovered – right across the globe, from Iceland, UK, Russia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc. So here’s arguments supporting the argument of the papers being authentic :
* Vast diversity of the names (Surprisingly no US names - till now) Maybe in next tranche?
* How would a Panama registered company know have names of Indians such as Amitabh Bachchan, Harish Salve, K.P Singh, Vinod Adani etc?
* E.g Harish Salve whose name was on the list, was the first to defend his Panama account - stating that the account was legitimate and declared to the tax authorities. Coincidence?
* Iceland Prime Minister when asked by TV crew, has not denied having the account, but said he has paid all his taxes.
* Nawaz Sharif’s laywer also defended their ownership of offshore companies after they were named in the Panama papers.
* So if these documents were fake, why are these people justifying its existence? Obviously, because they cannot deny it.
* And the leaked documents are serious enough for our own govt. to form a multi agency team to probe the Indian names.
* And the funniest part. Amitabh Bachchan used to tweet 2-3 times a day on all matters. He also tweeted on West Indies victory. After the Panama papers have been published, his twitter handle has gone silent.
* Our news channels fight over each other with 'breaking news'. But TV channels are surprisingly quite thanda :lol::lol::lol:. No twitter handle created on the subject. Usually a prominent Mumbai based TV News/Paper takes the lead on the subject. But all seems well - looks like they have decided to print/publish only positive news and focus on development :lol::lol::lol:
