Partly Facetious : It's only joker that is kept aside

"I have figured out why The Khan has taken so many old faces in his cabinet?"
Published May 7, 2020

"I have figured out why The Khan has taken so many old faces in his cabinet?"

"That makes me marvel at your IQ level."

"You being facetious!?"

"Of course, I am being facetious. Everyone but everyone in the country knows why he took old faces and need I add we all knew as soon as he announced his cabinet and we stood firm during his reshuffling..."

"Hmm, speaking of reshuffling, a term associated with playing cards, need I add that there is one who was in the deck of cards but who is no longer part of the deck..."

"That has to be the joker, I mean in most card games it's only the joker that is kept aside."

"Stop it. Firdous Ashiq Awan is no joker in the pack. She has been a minister around seven times and worked with nearly all political parties except the Maulana's..."

"That's because all her cars, government issued or otherwise, run on V Power."

"Don't be facetious; anyway let me remind you that Aleem Khan, a diehard Khan acolyte, was placed outside the deck for a couple of hands and then returned to the deck..."

"The out of deck experience was for more than a year and he was in jail courtesy the National Accountability Bureau and..."

"Hey The Khan has nothing to do with NAB."

"Of course not but just a reminder Aleem Khan was asked to vacate the Chief Minister's camp office because he was not cooperating with The Buzz and three months or so later he was arrested by NAB and..."

"Life is full of coincidences my friend, don't read too much into them, besides as you noted Aleem Khan is back in the deck and if you reckon Firdous Ashiq Awan is out then yes she is but let's see whether she is out for the remaining duration of the Khan's tenure or whether..."

"You are so bad. But anyway I don't agree with you about the reason for The Khan preferring old faces. I reckon the fact is that his long term party members were inexperienced so he is getting these old faces in so that his own loyalists can learn from them."

"Ha, ha, which of the old faces is performing well today or performed well in the past?"

"Don't be sarcastic!"

"OK, so you reckon Aleem Khan was being trained while in NAB jail?"

"Yes he was, because now he is a provincial minister again and he has said not a word against The Buzz."
