Partly Facetious: IK does what US Presidents do

ARTICLE: "Naya Pakistan is with us."

"I agree this is the New Pakistan. Can you guess why I reckon we live in Naya Pakistan?"

"The Khan is fitter compared to his two protagonists - Nawaz Sharif and Zardari sahib."

"He doesn't rub that in does he? And he should."

"The Khan is focused on their corruption."

"But in this The Khan is so much better than they are - I propose that The Khan does what US presidents do, jog with his security detail and yes Trump doesn't jog but he plays golf."

"You are saying that because you want those whose girth is expanding to jog with the Prime Minister."

"Correct particularly those engaged in ending corruption, I mean weight gain by someone who is catching the corrupt is not appropriate - makes me think of ongoing corruption, the narrative doesn't gel with reality...."

"Don't be facetious Shahzad Akbar may not have succeeded in the tasks set him so far, making the non-Sharifs with offshore accounts accountable, getting the money back from the corrupt, or getting the Sharifs and their acolytes currently in England back into the country..."

"We have no extradition treaty."

"True but there are other ways, I recall Israel got Vanunu, the guy who spilled Israel's nuclear secrets to the world, back into the country to stand trial and..."

"Hey you really think Shahzad Akbar can run after the younger Sharifs or Dar or..."

"Don't be facetious; I was referring to luring these people back into the country, though I agree he needs to lose the weight he gained since he was appointed....its not healthy."

"Indeed but going back to Naya Pakistan I wanted to praise The Khan for some momentous changes - Benazir Income Support Programme was more than a mouthful and now we have Ehsaas, Kashmir Highway was non-specific and now we have Srinagar Highway...."

"Srinagar is just one city, Kashmir highway was the entire region that is being..."

"The intent was honest besides once the party realizes that, the name maybe changed again. Then we have National Command Operation Centre - that is specific because to fight Covid-19 we needed operational command."

"Are you being facetious?"

"Hell no I am very appreciative of the Naya Pakistan."
