“So Chaudhary Pervez Elahi’s decision to renege on an earlier deal, as per PML-N stalwarts….”
“You have heard the proverb: a politician is a person who can make waves and then make you think he is the only one who can save the ship.”
“Ha ha right but not honouring a pledge was uncharacteristic of the man and….”
“Right Rana sahib said that Elahi called in the morning to insist that the opposition files the vote of no confidence against The Buzz and later that evening...…”
“Hmm that brings to mind a staff member who told me he had been offered higher pay for a similar job and I raised his salary and then he negotiated a better deal with the other side, so this tactic is not uncommon.”
“Where was the meeting?”
“Between who and whom?”
“Chaudhary Pervez Elahi and The Khan?”
“Banigala where most meetings are being held these days.”
“Why? The Khan is still the Prime Minister.”
“I guess he doesn’t feel like tackling other issues of state.”
“Hmmm so I guess there is no need to mention Gill The Fish’s press conference which focused almost exclusively on magic and how the people of this country get taweez - Quranic quotes, and….”
“I reckon that press conference was after Maryam Nawaz bad mouthed someone called Farah in Lahore who she claimed had links to Banigala and Bilawal publicly accused The First Lady of corruption and…”
“Bilawal was wrong.”
“You know our political culture, I mean we bad mouth our opponents with no regard to the truth, besides the First Lady is not into politics – I bet you if she takes off her veil and comes to the assembly no one will recognize her….”
“Wrong, The Khan will.”
“OK so will Maneka and his five children will also but….”
“When I said you are wrong I wasn’t talking of the accusations made by Bilawal and Maryam but to correct you: Bushrabibi is not the first lady of Pakistan, it is President Alvi’s wife.….”
“Really?”
“Technically yes, really”.
“So what is she? Second lady?”
“Right and third wife.”
