    In any demoracy worth it’s name the President should have resigned. But here??
    At least, the Inland Revenue authorities should hold an enquiry how these two boys found the money to finance thsse two very expensive investments and the report forwarded to Parliament and known both to the House and the Public via the media.
    Steps also should be taken to ascertain if these shareholders have declared their assets in the previous IT year.

    I am a stock broker and I actually checked this out. They have bought their shares on credit. Once they get a profit from the shares they can pay the credit and keep whatever is left over from the profit. That’s how its works.. Someone who has invested in stocks will know what I am talking about. They don’t need money to buy stocks they can have 5 days credit period and pay it off once they get a profit.
