"You know all our heads of government have one thing in common: their love for foreign tours - be they civilian or military and need I add each new head of government breaks all past records of the number of foreign tours he/she takes, not only his own past record but also those of his predecessors... "
"OK, Zardari sahib, when he was the president, and Mian sahib like foreign tours but it is for a reason..."
"If you are going to tell me that they go to lure foreign investors and/or to get foreign funding then let me inform you that foreign direct investment is declining and the Dar led economic team is conducting road shows in foreign capitals to sell Eurobonds at almost double the prevalent rate of interest..."
"Right and talking of road shows Zubair of the Privatisation Commission..."
"Zubair is emerging as the PPP's Hafeez Sheikh - both bright and qualified in their own right, but the party that has elevated them to such height is demanding its pound of flesh which is translated into attacking one's brother who is a member of another party, loss of integrity and..."
"No one cares about integrity my friend - its all about the car with the flag and the roads emptied for your arrival and departure and business class foreign tours..."
"Zubair says he can earn more money if he gets a job abroad..."
"All this for national interest hunh, and national interest as defined by Dar who can convince Mian sahib it is night when its day! All ye technocrats please be technocratic when heading a ministry don't be a party loyalist...anyway who do you think is responsible for each head of government wanting more foreign tours than his predecessor?"
"The establishment must be held responsible. People like the Sharifs were happy to live here; and along came Musharraf and sent them into exile and they got a taste of living abroad where there is no loadshedding, access to all kinds of banned products. And before that BB would go into self imposed exile again courtesy the establishment. And when you live abroad you need money and you need houses and you need..."
"I get it but the establishment is taking appropriate actions now and..."
"See that's just because of a change in personality, what we need is institution building and..."
"You sound like Zardari sahib, and he, the wise, is sitting in Dubai when he makes these statements."
"Ha, ha, ha."
