"Yet another bomb blast."
"One difference, the Taliban denied and condemned it."
"And Khurshid Shah of the Zardi gang questioned Nisar's performance. What about the five-year performance of Rehman Malik?"
"Oh, that will be dealt with appropriately in the Public Accounts Committee - the guy is also the chair of that committee."
"But the faulty scanners procured by Malik, the rise in grey trafficking that many believe enabled Malik to purchase a flat in Dubai, the weaponisation that occurred during the Rehman Malik era, the..."
"I have a response for all that. Malik is not like Chaudhry Nisar, he wants to be liked while Chaudhry sahib couldn't care less - OK, he cares about his constituents and he cares about his senior party leaders not the second tier leadership..."
"What rubbish, few in Malik's own party actually like him, remember Zulfikar Mirza's banana charge."
"Banana charge indeed - I ask you where is Zulfikar Mirza now and where is Malik?"
"Mirza is resting in his palaces and Malik is resting in his palaces."
"You are being facetious but when I said Malik likes to be liked I am recalling the long queues of parliamentarians with papers for Malik to sign when he was Interior Minister authorising weapons, I mean even Gilani when he was prime minister did not have such a long queue of people seeking favours."
"Getting him to authorise weapon possession does not mean he is liked."
"Well, to be honest that is the only measure of popularity for senators who are selected right?"
"I guess I agree but about grey trafficking you do know it has increased since PML-N took over the job."
"Yeah, but Malik succeeded in proactively increasing grey traffic while the PML-N government is failing to reduce it in spite of acquiring expensive anti-grey trafficking equipment."
"You are being facetious aren't you?"
