Partly Facetious: It's a good start, long live IK

19 Mar, 2019

"So the Who's Who of the federal cabinet was at the stadium to watch the finals of Pakistan Super League though the prime minister (PM) himself was not present."
"Hey, you gotta keep the boss happy and let's be honest I can't imagine the PM leaning towards those who do not visibly exhibit a love of the game..."
"Interesting choice of words, leaning towards! Was The Buzz there?"
"He is too busy these days trying to convince the PM that he had no idea about The Bill."
"In England, The Bill is the police."
"In Pakistan, The Bill is defined as material assets in support of the sitting Chief Minister Punjab."
"Don't be facetious; anyway, Asad Umar wasn't there either!"
"Yes he was, you are just after the poor guy's job, but I didn't see Jehangir Tareen there."
"Ha ha - anyway I would like to congratulate the Quetta Gladiators and you have to give credit to The Man Who Shall Remain Nameless..."
"More like The Man Who Has Gone Back Into Obscurity."
"Not quite, though now he is forced to do his own coverage!"
"Don't be facetious. I tell you that is the way of the world: you have a position you are king and the next day when the position is gone you are nothing."
"Agreed, anyway IK should take him to court, I mean the teams playing in the PSL are named after the capital of the four provinces and my question is: where is Gilgit-Baltistan team? And the Azad J&K team and..."
"Stop, I mean he did start the PSL and though he is no longer in the news he regularly does the IK, he tweets..."
"Is that doing the IK or is that doing The Trump - I mean the Orange King and IK have their love for tweeting in common."
"Indeed, though the two men differ in everything else."
"Anyway, this is the second major win for Balochistan, the first was Sanjrani, Chairman Senate..."
"It's a good start, long live IK."
"I am not sure how much credit can be given to him."
"To the victor go the spoils.... and the IRI survey is also in his favour..."
"I recall IK rejecting the IRI survey results when the Sharif's were in power and the survey gave the convicted Sharif 63 percent popularity rating and Naeemul Haq referred to IRI as CIA sponsored...."
"What is good for the goose is not good for the gander and gander is being out of government."
"Thank you my friend defining the party in government as the goose - this is the most pro-feminist statement I have heard in decades."
"Don't be facetious."
