When Microsoft Calibri (font) became the most googled word in Pakistan, ahead of porn

Porn is one of the most searched keywords in Google, all over the world; so it came as a surprise when the words ‘Calibri font’ suddenly started trending in Pakistan few days back.

And the reason is Nawaz Sharif’s (Prime Minister of Pakistani) family’s involvement in the Panamagate scandal (by the way, even the Bachchans’ name had figured in the Panama Papers).

The Panama panel probing the money laundering allegations against Nawaz Sharif’s family found a loophole in the documents that were submitted to them by the family.

• As per JIT report, Maryam Nawaz (daughter of Nawaz Sharif) in her ‘original copy’ of declarations used ‘Calibri’ font, which did not exist in 2006 and was not commercially available till 2007
• The deed was notarised from an office in London on Saturday, which is officially an off day, raising concerns about the authenticity of the document.
• Government of Dubai revealed that the documents of Gulf Steel, Mills provided by the prime minister’s son Hussian Nawaz were forged as there was no record of those documents.
• Panama Papers had revealed several offshore companies linked to the Sharif family that were used to purchase several luxury properties in London.

It seems what Imran Khan could not do, Microsoft’s CALIBRI font probably may be able to do (bring down the Nawaz Sharif government).

The news went viral, and Twitterati obviously made Maryam Nawaz a butt of several jokes. Here are a few hilarious ones.
