“Pakistan’s National Data Base and Registration Authority (NADRA) aims to put every Pakistani adult into one of the world’s largest multi-biometric databases. ‘We have 452 static centers where people are coming and giving this data, we have 250 mobile vans, we have a motorcycle service, and we (even) have people up in the mountains — skiers and mountaineers with man-pack units,’ says chairman Tariq Malik whose mission it is to log every potential taxpayer in Pakistan. ‘We are going to block their ID cards, and we are going to block their bank accounts, and we are going to block their foreign travels until the either pay or file an appeal,’ says Hakeem.”
