14 billion dollar question..!

My rejoinder to Mr. Khurram Hussain on his article titled “The 4.9 billion-dollar blunder” published by the daily “Dawn” dated 10 May, 2018.

Sir,
The writer says ”Go down to the bottom of the page, and the text next to the asterisk reads: “Estimated outflows based on remittance inflows and the bilateral remittance matrix”. There is your first clue that the figure is not a real remittance flow, but an estimate.”
Now if the above mentioned note is the case then:
1. Why zero figures shown for the years 2010, 2011 and 2012?
2. Why the breakup graph of Indian inward remittances in 2015 shows that out of the total amount of $70 billion (NOT AN IMAGINARY BUT A REAL FIGURE) Pakistani remittances to India of $4.9 billion made Pakistan as the 5th largest contributor of the Indian remittances in 2015?
3. Why there is NO such figures of remittances of 3 million Afghan refugees sending (even assumed/estimated/imaginary figures as the article says it was in the case of Pakistan) remittances from Pakistan to Afghanistan?
Note this is currently the highest number of refugees (3 million) staying in any country of the world?
