"I was so impressed with Sonia Gandhi. She had it all, and then she decided against taking it. And I am not really sure of the real reasons behind her decision to decline the Prime Minister-ship of the country..."
"Her children didn't want to lose their mother as well, I mean they had lost their grandmother and father."
"I don't know if that is the only reason but the fact remains that she took a decision that to me means two things. One that this decision has shown the BJP for what it really is: a racist party that thinks only of power. And two she has spurned power, never mind if she remains the power behind whoever becomes the leader of the House. She would be remembered as the only politician in the history of the Subcontinent who spurned power. And I don't think it would have happened if she wasn't foreign born."
"History of the sub-Continent?"
"Well yes. And this decision is good for her adopted country."
"I think you have your facts wrong. Our people, politicians with and those without any power, would maintain that they stay on because it is in the national interest that they do so."
"Pity that they are the ones who define national interest."
"Well that's their prerogative. Anyway the fact is that Chaudhry Jaat can say that he is like Sonia. I mean he gave the seat to Jamali and is either waiting in the wings or just simply... I don't know...waiting?"
"God alone knows what Chaudhry Jaat is doing, to be honest. Couldn't figure him out when he was literally Mian Sahib's tail."
"Like Blair is to Bush?"
"Well, yes but here we don't call them poodles, we call them dum, (tail) and then he changed his loyalty from Mian Sahib to Musharraf at once. I mean he wasn't like the others who spent a few months in jail before agreeing to change sides. I wonder why, though? Must ask Mushahid about it! And he didn't wait to be put behind bars while welcoming Mian Sahib Junior Most back and then change sides. I mean the guy just didn't go through the hassle. If you've gotta do it might as well do it in time."
"But Sonia is the leader and you can't really say that about Chaudhry Jaat. Now if you were talking of Musharraf..."
"But Musharraf wants to stay in power - national interest you know."
"Ay yes."
