Partly Facetious: Punjab CM delivering to PM

ARTICLE: "Incompetence due to lack of experience..."

"What about the many, many, members of the cabinet who claim to be technocrats and the others who have served in other administrations and...."

"I was actually referring to the press conference of a set of jokers who have never had any experience - The Buzz, Chauhan the Moe (from the Three Stooges) of Wasim Akram Plus government, and the third stooge Raja Basharat who has experience and so kept his mouth shut..."

"Why do you refer to Chauhan as Moe?"

"Because he thinks he knows everything about everything - he doesn't limit himself to his terms of reference and expresses views on foreign policy, macroeconomic indicators and on certain PTI members sitting in the federal capital....."

"Hey he is ambitious, watch out Shibli Faraz - you are approaching the usual term of an information minister in The Khan's cabinet...anyway what about the IG - he was there too."

"He is the fifth or is it the sixth IG Punjab and let me refer you to Prince Harry who is now the sixth in line and where is he?"

"In self-imposed exile."

"That's a new concept for the monarchy, now in our political class..."

"Alright but my point is The Buzz has been the chief minister for two years. Chauhan has held this portfolio so the question is how long do these gentlemen need to gain sufficient experience to deliver?"

"They are delivering to The Khan."

"Does The Khan know that the women who are coming out on the streets in protest against his Punjab team voted for him in 2018!?"

"Right and he did not win a single national assembly seat from Pakpattan, that maybe where his in laws reside but not where his voters are."

"Not quite in laws - anyway a Maneka won there."

"I said it before and I say it again - if the Buzz and Moe and the CCPO are honest and dedicated to the uplift of the people then perhaps he should give them a job commensurate to their skill set; their education and background does not, I repeat, does not find an echo in cities and that is where The Khan's voters are..."

"But by now The Khan reckons he will wipe the floor with opposition leaders in the next elections..."

"Same-o same-o!"
