Partly Facetious: Developing a frog in the throat

"So any optimism Asif Ali Zardari may have harboured regarding a possible, shall we say... no not reconciliation that's not the right word but some arrangement, be it interim or otherwise, that would give him and his sister breathing space in the courts must have been dashed by Imran Khan's address to the nation."
"Why do you say that? Didn't Zardari sahib go to The Maulana, a rarity, as it was always the Maulana who would go and see him, see it's important in our culture as to who goes to visit whom! The junior partner must always go visit the senior partner..."
"Unless the senior partner wants something from the junior partner!!"
"OK there are always exceptions to the rule. But is Khan being politically astute, I mean he doesn't have the mandak - remember the mandak Nawaz Sharif enjoyed when he won two third majority in the assembly and had the power to change the constitution and..."
"Mandak? I mean there is maindak which is frog in Urdu, and then there is the mandate which allows a political party to rule the country and..."
"A frog in the throat is an expression that means phlegm, soreness, coughing of the throat and..."
"There you go! When Mian sahib said he had the mandak he meant that the powers-that-be, may have developed a frog in the throat after he got two-thirds majority in the assembly, a view that, irrespective of the personality of the head of the power that be, Mian sahib consistently alienated and regarded the institution as a frog in his throat and each time he suffered as a consequence."
"And need I add, his true heir in this is his daughter."
"Indeed she is, so what do you reckon Zardari sahib will do now?"
"I reckon he will try to escalate his threat from merely passing a resolution against The Khan to a vote of no confidence but for that he needs some turncoats and the perennial mandak in the Mian sahib's craw...."
"But Zardari sahib is a lot better at dealing with mandaks than Mian sahib."
"Not when the mandak is full out in support of the other side."
"Hmmm, interesting times ahead you reckon hunh!"
