Partly Facetious: A considerable controversy

Published August 26, 2020

ARTICLE: "I don't understand this Nawaz Sharif controversy."

"What's there not to understand - The Khan wants him back and in jail and is blaming others for the departure of a convicted man with more than six years of his sentence remaining...."

"That's the first time that has happened in Pakistan's history and in my dictionary a first means new and this is the new Pakistan."

"Don't be facetious. On the other hand the PML-N is insisting that he will return as soon as his treatment is complete like he did when his wife was ill and..."

"Excuse me but at that time he returned because of his daughter's ambitions."

"Tut, that's not fair... who are you to dissect the relationship between a parent and a child."

"I agree; I am nobody. But what I don't understand is why would anyone opt to return to Kot Lakhpat jail even though it is a jail with a lot of history, and leave behind an apartment in Park Lane...."

"But his politics...."

"His politics survived very well thank you after spending more than five years in a Saudi palace and I think it will survive at least that much time in London."

"But there was no conviction at the time - anyway comparing a Saudi palace with a Park Lane apartment - you tell me what you would prefer?"

"Hmmm but looking at it from The Khan's point of view...."

"The Khan has not focused on Nawaz Sharif as single mindedly as he has focused on the current account deficit and the Lord be praised it is in surplus and..."

"Remittances rose because I reckon many of our emigrants lost their jobs and got the severance package, exports actually declined in comparison to July 2019...."

"Hey behave yourself! The Khan's economic team compared the current account deficit of one month July 2020 with July 2019 and July 2020 exports not with July 2019 exports but with June 2020 exports....."

"And there has been no mention of negative manufacturing growth and high inflation and unemployment and higher poverty levels and negative....."

"Stop if The Khan doesn't focus then who are you to do so?"

"But the comparison is.....is...like apples and oranges..."

"It's an entire bunch of bananas my friend."
