"I agree a hundred percent with The Khan."
"I too am a Khanzadeh but I don't agree with The Khan's refusal to a countrywide lock down, I mean China's success in dealing with the coronavirus is significantly due to the lock down, and let's not go the Italy route and..."
"I was referring to his pre-corona statement that a U-turn is a good thing."
"Where does that come in?"
"The Khan has done a u-turn on all his major pre-Prime Minister days' pledges but he is refusing to go for a lockdown and..."
"Hey, the country is locking down in any case, Sindh is in a lockdown already, and yes even Khanzadehs like me appreciate it, I am not sure where exactly The Buzz is going..."
"How many times does The Khan have to tell you morons The Buzz is going nowhere?!"
"Don't be facetious, you know what I mean."
"By the way did you hear the latest? Container Shah has decreed in his infinite wisdom that restaurants will close at 10pm in Islamabad, a measure designed to contain the virus, but my question is why is 10pm the cut off time? Does the virus become non-operational after that time? I mean what is the sense..."
"That's Container Shah's bed time, and I hear there is this noisy restaurant where he lives..."
"Don't be facetious. Anyway the Khan is not taking a U-turn on a complete lockdown because he does not want deaths from Hunger to outpace deaths from coronavirus."
"OK I understand his concern with the large number of poor operating in the informal sector in this country, and that include labour, those selling their wares on foot or bicycles, even small neighbourhood shops, small enterprises - but they have a dearth of customers now and need I add this has been the case since his brilliant economic team signed off with the IMF on the dotted line..."
"It's all Nawaz Sharif's fault."
"Excuse me?"
"See Nawaz Sharif never held any meeting, his party's parliamentarians would complain and..."
"So?"
"So The Khan is doing the exact opposite of Nawaz Sharif, he has one meeting after another meeting and so there is little time for implementation..."
"That's a teenager's approach - oh you are being facetious!"
"Not really, The Khan's decision to ban plastic bags in shops was a good one and now they are available everywhere except in big stores which I reckon will first sell the non plastic bags they have in stock and then go back..."
"You are so bad."
"One last word please. Khan Sahib a u-turn is in order on the lockdown."
"I have a suggestion too: Khan sahib, give Shahbaz Sharif the task of dealing with the virus in Punjab. That would be a win-win situation for The Khan..."
"What if SS is successful?"
"Us Punjabis' would praise The Khan's selection of a rival, something that has never happened before. Yes turncoats are the norm in our politics but SS is hardly likely to join PTI."
"Ah so you can prove the pundits wrong, don't they say there is no last word in politics."
"Ha ha."
