Partly Facetious: Imran has learnt a valuable lesson

"Did you hear the latest?"
"Yeah, the government wants Imran Khan to tone down his criticism of the Sharif family and Imran says he will refer to thieves as dacoits, threatens to shut down major cities followed by shutting down the country while urging the government to come back to the negotiating table and agree on conditions that the government earlier agreed and now has backed away from".
"I hope Imran has learnt a valuable lesson namely when to accept a good deal as it will change in politics - not being hadith and all!"
"I don't think any one learns from their mistakes in politics. I mean Zardari sahib's recent preference for Mian sahib over mere hum watno is not a reflection of his policy when he was in the Presidency - I say in the Presidency and not in power as I am not sure how much power he wielded on important matters."
"Oh, do stop. I have given up on domestic politics. I was referring to the recent social media chatter on the first children - Malia and Sasha - who looked bored as their father the President was engaged in the annual White House turkey pardoning ceremony."
"Right, and Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for Representative Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, resigned after she posted the following on social media 'Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. And certainly don't make faces during televised public events. Then again your mother and father don't respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I'm guessing you're coming up a little short in the 'good role model' department.'"
"Wow, now that is uncalled for - I mean Obama's daughters are teenagers and aren't in politics for Pete's sake."
"Ah, so you are an Imran tiger yes?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Imran has attacked the children of our two major parties namely Maryam Nawaz, Humza Shahbaz, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and I assume your reference to Sasha and Malia not being in politics is you putting forth the argument that the children of our political leaders are fair game as they are in politics."
"Ha ha you know me so well."
"But and it's a relevant but Imran says that the children of our politicians are being groomed to take over and rule the same way. Now that is premature in the case of the Bhutto Zardaris..."
"The BBZ Lahore jalsa was cancelled due to ill health now doesn't that remind you of the over 200 delays requested by Zardari sahib's legal team on grounds of ill health."
"You are being facetious; aren't you?"
"Well, there are two expressions and you choose the most appropriate: Like father, like son (and to make it generic let's say child), or let not the sins of the father be visited on his children."
