An official memo of Assistant Commissioner of the Inland Revenue department in Azad Jammu Kashmir Rizwan Ahmed being circulated online suggests that a permission was sought to celebrate the long awaited Academy Award of Leonardo DiCaprio.
The memo even said that “Leo should have been awarded Oscar for his role as Howard Hughes in The Aviator, or Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street, or for his roles in The Departed, Gangs of New York and Django Unchained.”

When approached for comment Rizwan Ahmed said that Leonardo DiCaprio was a great inspiration for him as the Titanic star was nominated for Oscar award for four times and he never lost faith to win it.
