Partly Facetious: What Zardari, Maryam have in common?

"So what's the thinking?"
Published January 21, 2020 Updated January 21, 2020 12:00am

"So what's the thinking?"

"No threat from the opposition cause their decision-makers ain't in the country..."

"Zardari sahib and Maryam Nawaz are both in the country..."

"And what do they have in common?"

"Other than they are heirs of leaders, political heirs because Maryam is certainly not the only heir to Nawaz Sharif's wealth..."

"Hey back off will you."

"OK, so Nawaz Sharif has distributed his assets during his lifetime and need I add that is a sensible decision, I mean the number of cases we hear of siblings killing each other and/or their families for money..."

"Don't forget Zardari sahib was the sole heir as the kids at the time of Benazir's assassination were underage while Maryam has got her full share and..."

"You are getting side tracked again, I understand that in our politics side issues take prominence but come on not that much."

"Right, anyway the difference between Zardari sahib and Maryam is..."

"One of gender?"

"Don't be facetious, the difference is that Zardari sahib is accepted as the elder statesman by the party led by his son while Maryam has a ways to go to be accepted as an elder statesman who all accept and..."

"I get it, and the thinking that you asked about is that the opposition is toothless..."

"I don't agree, all parties have periodically been defanged, and...wait...they go to the best dentists in the country and you may not know it but now you can get implants that take six months for the process to be completed, but they work as well as the real teeth and don't decay and..."

"I get it, I heard Pelosi say that Trump was taking actions that were self-impeaching..."

"And the Khan is taking actions that are self-no confidence motions."

"Ha ha, that's right, but there is one difference between the two men."

"Trump has a majority in the Senate and Republicans have not turned against him while The Khan..."

"Good Lord no, Trump is orange and The Khan is a shade of Pakpattan..."

"Stop it right now or else I will have to dump you as a friend, the media is coming under stricter..."

"Pakpattan is my favourite town in the entire country..."

"Well, sycophancy will get you there."

"I am glad there is something of the old Pakistan remaining."
