Partly Facetious: The only one who can understand Malik is Zardari besides Afridi

"Shahid Afridi says that the threat by Rehman Malik with respect to the action he would take if there was spot-fixing in the semi-finals..."
"Come on! That's Rehman Malik and you will have to suffer him till President Zardari leads the party."
"What about Gilani?"
"He is not Gilani's choice, but I must state here that Gilani's choices have not been any better than our President's."
"Right, but anyway Rehman Malik called Afridi two to three times and Afridi says that he didn't understand the explanation given."
"The only one who can understand Malik is the President besides Afridi and the team shouldn't have taken Malik seriously. I mean it's been three years and bhatta is still being collected from Karachi traders who have gone on strike..."
"Right, and Malik has warned those who collect bhatta once again."
"And so the status quo remains."
"Indeed, but what I find interesting is that at the time that the traders were on strike in Karachi the Sindh Home Minister was threatening the judiciary and chose that day to travel to Islamabad in order to implement the decision of the PPP high command to politically support the two MPAs summoned to the Supreme Court for the protest day in Karachi against the decision to sack Deedar Hussain Shah that led to 9 deaths and crores of rupees worth of loss."
"Right, politics is above the law and order as well as above economics."
"The President spoke the same day and asked economists to come up with an alternative economic strategy to deal with the current impasse."
"He should fire Hafeez Sheikh because that man has left the country worse off than when he took over from Shaukat Tarin."
"How can you say that? He is an educated man with experience and..."
"He has no political weight, in fact he is a political liability as he was associated with Musharraf as well..."
"That's not an issue with the President there is Hina Rabbani Khar as well..."
"Ah yes, but that is the politics of families here. One member with the PPP, another working for the army, a third working for PML (N) and yet another..."
"No wonder population planning has never worked in this country!"
