Partly Facetious: 'The All Amicable Zardari'

"So no debate in the Senate on the vote of no-confidence against Sanjrani?"
Published July 25, 2019

"So no debate in the Senate on the vote of no-confidence against Sanjrani?"
"That's Chairman Senate Sanjrani sahib for you."
"Hey he is a public representative and..."
"Not quite, a senator is chosen by the party leader and some party leaders are more equal than others."
"You mean party leaders who are also the country's chief executive officers?"
"Well, that's not what I was referring to in this case. I was referring to the Master of Reconciliation successfully maneuvering to install a man of his choice though not of his party as chairman; none other than AAZ, the All Amicable Zardari. Now if only Nawaz Sharif and The Khan learn to follow AA..."
"In your dreams."
"You reckon Sindhis are more amicable relative to Punjabis and Kashmiris?"
"The Sindhis in power for the last decade certainly exhibit a sense of humour and tolerance even when incarcerated relative to their Punjabi counterparts, Nawaz Sharif, Hamza Shahbaz, the Brothers Rafiq, and then you have Zardari sahib."
"That's true but anyway Senators are selected out of a crowd of hopefuls and for a senator to refer to Imran Khan as the selected prime minister is way out of line and..."
"But, The Khan was selected by the National Assembly, as were his predecessors, and I don't understand why The Khan does not state that fact."
"Agreed, and with respect to Sanjrani The Khan could have shrugged off the move by simply stating that it's a trivial matter which it is, I mean it's not going to impact on his government..."
"And The Khan's contempt for Maryam Nawaz gives her a status that she doesn't enjoy within her party. I mean really! And none of the epithets she hurled at The Khan have stuck, Nalaik-i-Azam (prime incompetent)...."
"I agree, she is too vicious to be taken seriously. I am impressed with Bilawal though. He has clearly shown a capacity to rise above party politics and support The Khan where Pakistan's interests are concerned..."
"Right and one word of advice to the PML-N: abandon the policy of defending your economic policies which were disastrous and this is the opinion of the Fund and the independent economists and..."
"Ah, but Dar is now the samdhi, and family comes first."
"And last."
"Sorry?"
"Family comes first and last."
