Partly Facetious : They may be forgiven

"In the clash of the titans one had to lose."
Published April 8, 2020 Updated April 8, 2020 12:00am

"In the clash of the titans one had to lose."
"Are you by any chance referring to Jehangir Tareen versus Azam Khan?"
"Indeed."
"Well, for your information titans are the creation of US television, so not real..."
"So?"
"I mean their status is not that of the old Roman gods or the Greek gods or the Egyptian gods that the surrounding population believed in but..."
"Ha, ha, and you reckon that Tareen versus Azam Khan are people that anyone ever believed in, as in the past, believe in today, as in the present and believe in the future?"
"No, but The Khan did and need I add continues to do so with respect to Azam Khan."
"It's a classic tale..."
"As told by an idiot?"
"Don't be facetious - without Jehangir Tareen and his Batmobile..."
"Batmobile?"
"His plane, The Khan's government would have fallen and let's be honest Azam Khan would not have been able to prop it up."
"You sure it's only Tareen who can be credited with this feat given the rather thin majority The Khan has in parliament."
"If Tareen goes then will the large numbers of his placements leave the federal and Punjab cabinet causing a crisis?"
"Our politicians ain't that silly! They will meet with him, plan the downfall and then dump The Khan when the winds have changed..."
"Hmmmm, but why did The Khan take action so quickly? I mean didn't he say he would take action after the 25 April when forensics would be completed..."
"That's not a U-turn, that a t-turn, reflective of a transient decision. And for your information I have it on good authority that The Khan took some spiritual guidance before taking action against Tareen so there you go."
"But I guess The Khan has come of age as a politician! Single-handedly he diverted media attention away from his handling of the Coronavirus and viola there is talk of his landmark decision to dump his most critical ally during times of his administration's crisis..."
"One question: shouldn't the blame be on those who allowed the subsidy rather than those who received it!"
"They may be forgiven."
"Oh, come on."
