Partly Facetious: Advice has never come cheap in Pakistan

"Jehangir Tareen's son is also implicated in...in..." "In illegal activities that have cost the country hard cash...
Published September 19, 2020

"Jehangir Tareen's son is also implicated in...in..."

"In illegal activities that have cost the country hard cash but I reckon both father and son are in England..."

"Father, son, and don't forget the Holy Ghost."

"I don't understand. Who is the Holy Ghost? I mean just because The Khan wants Medina ki Riyasat in this Land of the Pure that was run by the Coterie of the Impure..."

"And now?"

"Now it's no longer a coterie but many, many people - you have a forty plus cabinet and around 18 plus of these 40 are not elected - I am referring to advisors, special assistants and the like, who were lured by The Khan and many were offered the status of a federal minister, I am not sure about the salary...."

"Hey advice has never come cheap in this country though sometimes the quality of the advice has been compromised by....by...."

"If you ask the advisors and special assistants they point the finger at those who appointed them by stating that their political compulsions are responsible while if you ask the rest of the cabinet members they say conflict of interest is compromising their electability and..."

"I see so this is why it's so important to downgrade the electability of the opposition by convicting them of heinous crimes which they may or may not have committed...."

"Ha ha and enter the media team of The Khan with the same objective as during previous administrations."

"Agreed - Maryam Nawaz did precisely what her predecessors did and what her successors are doing...."

"Who is her successor? Is it Shibli Faraz, or Murad Saeed or Sheikh Rashid or...."

"I will plagiarize the PPP slogan - aik Zardari sub pay bhari - One Zardari trumps all...so one Maryam trumps all...."

"That's true but Maryam was unfireable, couldn't be fired, I mean how do you fire the boss's daughter while in the Naya Pakistan anyone is fireable, including Jehangir Tareen and son and Asad Umer though he made his way back into the fold."

"There is one who is not fireable."

"Who?"

"The Holy Ghost my friend, the Holy Ghost?"

"And who are you referring to? The only pillar of state that I am sure this does not include is the legislature."

"You are so bad!"
