Partly Facetious: Umer Akmal has a history...

22 Feb, 2020

"One down forty left to go."

"Who is down? Is it Umer Akmal? The guy has a history..."

"Shush, wait till the investigation is complete otherwise he may take you to court for defamation."

"In the Land of the Pure investigation rarely leads to conviction, besides no defamation case has reached its logical conclusion in our country so Akmal will have to go to England......"

"I am drooling at the life being led by some of the convicted."

"Yes but look at the downside - his daughter is not allowed to be with him in London when he undergoes an angiography that would determine whether he needs surgery or not..."

"You have been listening to Firdous Ashiq Awan - do you realize that even the Khanzadehs don't listen to her."

"Hmmm, but as I said Umer Akmal has a long history and...hey by the way why did you say 40 more to go...the era of the Man Who Shall Remain Nameless is long over and surely you don't dare to think that in Ehsan Mani's Pakistan Cricket Board, carefully selected by none other than The Khan, there is room for more than one person engaged in fixing..."

"They are not 40 out of around 47 you silly!"

"I thought exaggeration was an occupational hazard of the media, isn't that why The Khan needs to counter this negative propaganda with the establishment of a dedicated team..."

"Don't be facetious but one thing is for certain - change has not come to the Law Ministry - a good lawyer continues to have all the hot air out of his system by being given an important government post or ministry..."

"The Law Minister has disassociated himself..."

"I was saddened that he showed a mean spirit by first allowing Anwar Mansoor Khan to resign and then saying he was asked to resign - I mean why didn't he just fire him and..."

"As I said a good lawyer can have all the hot air..."
