Partly Facetious: The Punjab chief minister
“I was incensed on behalf of Chief Minister Punjab.”
“The Visionary should not have tweeted, he could have simply picked up the phone and called her and advised her that a luxurious jet…””
“I don’t think she would have bothered to pick up his call.”
“I know someone who tried to contact her.”
“Who?”
“Captain retired….”
“Shut up.”
“You don’t really know my name do you, I am Captain retired Muhammad Azad….”
“And you know The Visionary? Or the Chief Minister Punjab? And would she pick up your call?”
“As a Punjabi….”
“Stop.”
“I know Talal Chaudhary who owes his portfolio to Chief Minister Punjab…”
“But he has paid the heavy price for that portfolio already - the contempt of court disabled him from standing for the elections……”
“In politics the price is like interest – it has to be paid again and again and again and…”
“We live in the Islamic Republic so not interest but profit right.”
“Right what about the other guy who was not allowed to stand for elections for contempt of court – a contempt in support of the Chief Minister Punjab.”
“Danyal Aziz but I don’t know what he is up to these days.”
“I guess The Uncle was willing to accommodate only one of the contemptors….”
“There is no such word, anyway the Interior Minister has stolen the heart of his Minister of State. But for your information the Interior Minister retweeted the tweet of The Visionary.”
“And what was the response of The Visionary?”
“I don’t think he knows. He was thinking deep and long for The Next Vision 2055.”
“That’s nearly 29 years from now. How many of us will be alive…..”
“A Vision silly is not time barred, it’s not a luxury jet that would almost certainly have been scrapped.”
“Fair enough but have you noticed that the men who were loyal to the Chief Minister Punjab at one time are nowhere to be seen while all the women have remained loyal….”
“Gotcha.”
