“Who did not perform?”
“I am not sure what you are referring to! Oh wait did you mean outside Pakistan?”
“No within Pakistan.”

“And the guests of honour in both the conferences showed the one page that all are on.”
“One question: is Nawaz Sharif on the same page?”
“You know our Nawaz Sharif – he is like any leader of any party.”
“Sorry?”

“Gotcha anyway when I asked who did not perform I was referring to why the Army Chief’s speech was aired one day later? I mean news is about….”
“A Joint Investigation Team must be set up”
“Indeed.”
