Partly Facetious : Pakistanis in Wuhan

"Why can't the government recall its citizens in China and quarantine them..."
Published February 4, 2020

"Why can't the government recall its citizens in China and quarantine them..."

"There are two relevant assumptions being made here. First, Pakistan is one of three countries in the world where polio has not been eradicated and..."

"That's because the Taliban's propaganda machine is a lot more effective than our government's propaganda machine in convincing the people that the polio vaccine would make their children infertile for all times to come."

"Could part of the reason be The Khan's decision to tighten the advertisement budget?"

"But that was only for advertisements claiming achievements attributed to politicians, remember government sponsored advertisements during Shahbaz Sharif and his brother's tenure displayed their photographs..."

"Ha ha, while The Khan's team wants the media to accept its version of the narrative! Guess who is the more successful?"

"My suggestion would be to link health cards and the kifaalat cards with the ruling party colours to polio vaccination of all members of a family..."

"The Khan doesn't like suggestions from the likes of you; anyway my point was that a country that has not been able to administer polio vaccine to all can surely not control the Coronavirus that is spreading like wildfire and..."

"And your second point?"

"What?"

"You said there are two assumptions being made so what is the second assumption?"

"China has said don't repatriate Pakistanis in China and The Khan cannot say no to some countries, there is the matter of money owed to them. And before you start insinuating what's not true, remember the visit to Malaysia was merely postponed not cancelled and I will have you know and....just shut up... and the Prime Minister will not go over India but China, add four to five hours and..."

"I bet the extra fuel would be more than what the sale of cars and water buffaloes..."

"Hello...yes, Anti Narcotics Force? Yes I am witness to someone carrying..."

"Please, stop, I apologize."
