Ishaq Dar got grilled on BBC's HardTalk and Twitter is having a good laugh

Former finance minister and PML-N leader Muhammad Ishaq Dar's appearance on Stephen Sackur's HardTalk on BBC did not go well, to say the least.

Pakistanis had a good laugh as the host questioned Dar, who appeared to have a hard time with his answers while attempting to recall his properties around the world (or lack thereof apparently).

While the politician maintained that all his tax records were reported, the host asked him repeatedly how many properties he and his family own. “It’s all declared in my tax returns. Everything is accounted for.”

"I haven’t got too many properties,” he added, as the host questioned a Dubai villa under his son's ownership and the fact that Dar hadn't returned to Pakistan, on excuse of his health, for 3 years.

Naturally, the trolls were ready with their memes.
