While Ishaq Dar has become a viral meme following his confounding interview on BBC’s HardTalk, Pakistani actor Shaan Shahid is not amused. The veteran actor says that corrupt politicians like Ishaq Dar should be considered as a disgraceful stain in Pakistani political history.

Shaan Shahid slammed such politicians for not only shamelessly refusing to show remorse for the wrongs they have done but also for seeding doubt about Pakistani values. He asks that whether corruption something of an achievement? Will Pakistan’s political landscape constantly remain corrupt despite new leaders?

The Waar actor sure doesn’t hope so and wants such people prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
In his tweet about Ishaq Dar’s interview with the British broadcaster, he said,
Not only did the Yalghaar actor suggest that assets built via embezzlement be seized from such people, but the public should also be informed of their crimes.
Shaan Shahid said that a ‘wall of shame’ should be constructed and the names of politicians like Ishaq Dar engraved in the stone as an example of people that cheated and plundered the nation.
