PARTLY FACETIOUS: The ‘establishment’ is represented by interior minister
“All conspiracy theories have been debunked.”
“All? Including those relating to the party founded by The Man Who Must Remain Nameless, Faceless and Voiceless?”
“He is in jail, in isolation, his sisters are in jail, and he is not being allowed to consult with his lawyers, a right of all those incarcerated including serial murderers and …”
“Yeah but what I am incensed about is that The Third Wife has been demanding her status in jail for a long time but to no avail.”
“What status?”
“Well she wants to have the status of a VIP to which she is entitled as the wife of a former Prime Minister but they have given her the status based on her degrees, or lack thereof.”
“I don’t have the jail manual, but do you think it is the jail superintendent’s prerogative?”
“You are so very bad. But that’s not the conspiracy theory I was referring to?”
“Oh were you referring to the rift between the King of Reconciliation and the establishment on establishing more provinces…?”
“The King of Reconciliation is Zardari sahib while the establishment is represented by the Interior Minister right?”
“Right now Zardari sahib has to follow the advice given by the Prime Minister so…”
“There are constitutional provisions that….”
“Don get side tracked – anyway the conspiracy theory that the impending rift between PML-N and the powers that be.”
“Well I heard from PML-N sources that Mian sahib is going to do another Mian sahib – and you know where that gets him – mujhe kyon nikala – why did you kick me out.:”
“Please tone down your language.”
“I don’t get you.”
“The phrase is not kicked out; the phrase is escorted out of the….”
“From the frying pan into the fire.”
“Ha, ha, that’s right anyway when the Prime Minister returned who was there at the front of the queue to receive him?”
“I missed that footage….”
“It was the Interior Minister.”
“Ahhhhh.”
“And the next welcomer was Tarar of the Information Ministry and he was sandwiched between the Minister of Interior and his Minister of State.”
“Gotcha.”
