PARTLY FACETIOUS: ‘Nawaz Sharif’s weight is at least double that of Farooq Naek’
“What do Ishaq Dar and Khawaja Asif have in common?”
“One has multiple portfolios and the other just the one.”
“Really! That’s it!”
“OK, the multiple portfolios are many, I haven’t counted them but…”
“Nope, that’s not what I was thinking of when I referred to a common theme between the two, if you will.”
“Both have been very long term Nawaz Sharif loyalists and oh I get it! The two have close relatives who are political heavyweights – one by virtue of marriage and the other by virtue of birth.”
“Well, the political heavyweights you mention are not quite of equal weight. Nawaz Sharif’s weight is at least double that of Farooq Naek, who is a cousin of Khawaja Asif’s right, or so the web notes.”
“The darkest web, hunh.”
“Don’t be facetious.”
“Right, did you mean Sharif’s actual or political weight is double that of Naek?”
“There have been times when Naek’s political weight has been a lot more than the Sharif family combined.”
“I suppose anyway if one is born in a family the connections are given while marriage opens up so many avenues for…”
“Tell that to Hamza Sharif.”
“OR the Third Wife. Anyway, Dar has unlimited coverage of the mainstream media, while the other’s exposure is rather periodic and…”
“Except the mainstream media is probably watched only by the cabinet members.”
“Let me ask another question: what is the commonality between Muhammad Aurangzeb and Naqvi sahib?”
“Do you dare talk of their performance?”
“No I just…”
“Let me respond. They both occupy the two most coveted ministries.”
“Precisely.”
“And?”
“That’s it, no, and.”
