Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif For Sale On eBay
The fallout from the Panama Papers has inspired outrage around the world, and now someone has found a way to make a political point through comedy. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, has been put up for sale on eBay.
Sharif has been implicated in the Panama Papers scandal after members of his family were found to be owners of offshore companies. While owning offshore companies is not technically illegal, they are commonly used to avoid paying national taxes.

eBay listing promises Nawaz Sharif for sale
For a prime minister to be implicated in a tax dodging scandal it is a huge deal. Nawaz Sharif is one of a huge number of important Pakistani figures that have been swept up in the scandal.
One prankster has decided that an eBay listing promising that Sharif is for sale would be the best way to express his disgust.
The poster has so far remained anonymous, but the advert reads: “Used Pakistani Prime Minister, No longer needed is for Sale. No box or instructions.”
It is strange to see the Pakistani prime minister on eBay as the company does not operate in Pakistan. “May not post to Pakistan”, says the notice posted on website.
Sharif finds himself under huge amounts of pressure due to the Panama Papers leaks and is currently in the United Kingdom for a medical checkup. British Prime Minister David Cameron has also landed in hot water as a result of the leaks.
