Partly Facetious : PM deserves praise

"Did you hear the latest?"
Published March 26, 2020 Updated March 26, 2020 12:00am

"Did you hear the latest?"
"I did, and let me tell you that I fully support the Prime Minister's stance that the press conference was coronavirus mitigating measures specific, to allay the public's panic and..."
"No, no I agree - that is not what I was referring to! You know Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister's dad?"
"Well, not personally."
"Don't be facetious, anyway he has decided, as per his daughter's book, to seek French citizenship once Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, is complete on the basis that his mum was French and..."
"Well so what. Parents and children do have political differences though when a sitting prime minister and his dad or children have differences I guess it gets reported."
"I wonder if The Khan's children who live in the UK have political differences with their dad!"
"I am sure there must be some, some attributed to his decisions as the prime minister others due to the generation gap...."
"You reckon if they come live with their dad these differences may narrow, especially as their spiritual guidance would be considerably strengthened in Bani Gala as opposed to..."
"Shut up right now. Leave Pakistan's First Family be; when the divorce happened the kids were too young to be without their mom and the choice of where to live will be taken by them as and when they become adults and able to take their own decisions."
"Hmmm, besides with all the money their mom has the fact remains that it's their dad who has achieved what only a handful of people achieve."
"Agreed, because even in a country like ours which has had 24 previous prime ministers - many selected by dictators and thrown under the bus, as and when deemed appropriate, and with caretaker prime ministers galore..."
"Right, but the 1.13 trillion rupee coronavirus package he announced - my question is where is the money coming from?"
"I don't care however I was noting the body language of those sitting with him and only Hafeez Sheikh had his legs wide apart, a sign of super confidence, while others including the Prime Minister himself, appeared concerned and deeply..."
"Well, the guy reckons he answers to a higher authority!"
"Temporal or spiritual?"
"That's for me to say and you to find out."
