"Your performance depends on who your boss is - and this, my friend, is the basic philosophy of Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI)."
"I don't get it." "If Nawaz Sharif or Zardari sb appoints a bureaucrat to a key position then that bureaucrat can legitimately be accused of hiding their corruption and along the way may help them accumulate wealth beyond their own known means of income but if The Khan appoints the same bureaucrat then he or she would be compelled to be honest and use his or her considerable skills for the good of the country."
"One question: what about the wealth these bureaucrats amassed for themselves during previous regimes?" "The accountability process will continue but in parallel to new appointments if you know what I mean."
"OK, so let's give The Khan a 100 days, as requested, and..." "Interesting, the time period The Khan has requested! It's ten times less than what was given to the British Queen Anne, remember Henry VIIIs second wife was given a thousand days before she was beheaded. Her punishment was because she failed to give the King a boy..."
"Don't be facetious; anyway, what bugs me is that The Khan has been just as dismissive as Nawaz Sharif with respect to Kashmir Affairs."
"I don't get it! Maulana Fazlur Rehman is out, though it is due to his own constituents who did not vote for him rather than The Khan..."
"Nah, I was referring to Tariq Pasha, the man referred to as Ishaq Dar's tail, elevated to be the Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue, who never achieved the revenue target set by Dar or Ismail and..."
"Hey you don't refer to dogs in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan."
"If Blair was Bush's poodle, and Blair did much good for his country, then referring to Pasha as simply the tail..."
"Still a no-no in the Islamic Republic!"
"How about a cat's tail, that too never straightens whatever you may do or..."
"Much more appropriate, remember the proverb the cat that got all the cream and perhaps a bit went to its tail..."
"Ha, ha, and this particular cat's tail reattached itself to another cat - the original cat slunk away and..."
"I get it."
