Zulfi Bukhari lashed out at Talat Hussain, famous anchor who hosts Naya Pakistan program on Geo News, after the later alleged him of going for Umra only to circumvent ECL ban and dodge various NAB notices against him in relation to his offshore companies.
Talat Hussain severely criticized how the rules were bent to allow Mr. Bukhari a one-time exemption from exit control list by Secretary Interior.
In response, Zulfi Bukhari took to twitter and strongly criticized Talat Hussain for defending Nawaz Sharif, who he described as, “the biggest money launderer of Pakistan.”
By the way @TalatHussain12 did your conscience not make you feel a little guilty when you went blue in your face defending the biggest money launderer of Pakistan for the past 2 years. NS laundered billions belonging to this poor nation.

In relation to NAB notices, Mr. Bukhari asked Talat how could a British citizen who regularly pays his taxes, has never held a public office or done a rupee worth business in Pakistan, be answerable to NAB?
Question; British citizen, who has never held public office, pays his taxes in the UK. Has never done a rupee of business in Pakistan. Would like to know how you two experienced anchors think he is answerable to NAB in any way?
