Partly Facetious: Who was the head honcho?

"What's so funny? Or are you just happy that the government stopped a follow-on, after getting assistance from lawyers from other institutions......"

"Ha ha, ha, no that's not it, it's the sheer temerity of The Three Stooges to come on centre stage after three days of public verbal abuse, and by abuse I mean where questions of competence were raised and..."

"Who was the head honcho?"

"It all depends on who is sitting where on the government controlled PID dais. I reckon Farogh Naseem was Moe, Curly Joe was being played by the man in the middle and the one on the extreme right of the stage was perhaps Larry, who got hit on the head the least because he wasn't a team member in this play at least."

"That is what our politicians do; whatever disappointments/ challenges they may be subjected to they never lose the capacity to either outrightly deny negative statements; however, publicly made, or turn them into positive statements."

"Ha ha indeed. I would now like to take this opportunity to suggest to The Khan..."

"The Khan doesn't take suggestions, he can win hands down or he can lose hands down though when he loses, the fault lies with others and before you say anything, let me remind you that all our heads of government, all, no exceptions, develop this attitude and the reason is the number of sycophants rises exponentially when they assume the office..."

"Are you being facetious?"

"Good heavens, no!"

"Anyway can I give a piece of advice to the prime minister?"

"You can, but he won't listen."

"Who will he listen to?"

"Generally no one, but I am listening to you, so go ahead."

"It pertains to the short order passed by the apex court. I want to suggest to the Honourable Prime Minister Imran Khan to be careful while approving the legal amendments required as per the court decision."

"I don't get you."

"The amendments must not focus only on General Bajwa's extension but, much, much more importantly, ensure that there is no possibility of another Ziaul Haq or Musharraf or..."

"Hmmm, you do realise that The Three Stooges are likely to be the architects of the amendment!"

Sigh.
