"I don't understand the logic."

"This is in relation to?"

"In relation to what is being said by Shahzad Akbar, the man who now wears two hats."

,"Hey it's not as if he is wearing any of the hats worn by Musharraf or Ziaul Haq or..."

"The two hats have been conferred on him by a man who wears multiple hats."

"Who are you referring to?"

"The Khan, of course, I am not sure how many portfolios he has technically retained of the six advisors and I am not sure how many of these special assistant portfolios are technically retained by him and..."

"He is the man who made it possible for the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf to form the government and therefore The Khan can retain whichever portfolio he wants to retain and don't forget it's not as if the Cabinet has any backbone to challenge his directives..."

"Right, so same o same o!"

"There is a difference - Zardari sahib pretty much decided all matters after his party won the 2008 elections, but let's be honest those he listened to were more in number than in the case of Nawaz Sharif who delegated all decisions and committees and what have you to Deputy Prime Minister Dar, and the First Daughter."

"The Khan has his First Daughter, Jehangir Traeen and his Dar..."

"His Dar doesn't head the Finance Ministry."

"True, though he has to keep on praising his two economic team leaders indirectly giving a shut up call to those challenging their flawed policies..."

"The Khan is not an indirect kind of guy. I mean his support for The Buzz..."

"That's certainly true anyway the logic I can't understand is that put forth by Malik Riaz. I want to know why the National Crime Agency (NCA) of the UK was involved in a plea bargain with Malik Riaz, if Malik sahib is to be believed then why didn't he just return the money to the Supreme Court directly instead of involving the National Crime Agency of another country, and..."

"Where any entity has the word Crime in its title and you agree to a plea bargain with it then you can't claim that no crime has been committed."

"We are Pakistanis silly, and I ask you which of our law enforcement agencies have the word crime in their title, you have the National Accountability Bureau, you have the Federal Investigation Agency, you have the..."

"I propose a name change - from NAB to NCB."

"Won't work here, we would all think the National Crime Bureau is not out to catch the corrupt but to facilitate and..."

"May I make a suggestion to The Khan?"

"You know he is not likely to take your suggestion."

"Oh, well, if there is enough of a stink then there is always the possibility of a U-turn."

"Indeed."
