"The Punjab government is on a campaign..."
"If you are referring to the cutting down of trees to make way for roads, then the more accurate word to use would be rampage!"
"No I am not referring to the trees. But trees has been the price we have had to pay for development."
"That's a lesson well learned by the Chaudhry brothers from their erstwhile benefactors..."
"Musharraf is..."
"I meant the Sharifs of Model Town."
"I thought they became the Sharifs of Raiwind."
"They did and now they are the Sharif's of Jeddah."
"I thought they are in the UK now."
"These are very well travelled Sharifs indeed."
"As our Prophet said when you seek knowledge you can even go as far as China. In those days China was inaccessible and..."
"Like the UK was for the first six years of the Sharif's exile!"
"Right. But you are being facetious again. Anyway when I said the Punjab government is on a campaign I wasn't referring to trees at all. I was referring to their campaign to get rid of fake pirs."
"Pirs as in..."
"Right."
"How will our police distinguish between a fake pir and a real one?"
"I don't know, maybe the fake pir will give them less money..."
"I would have thought it should be the other way round. A real pir shouldn't take money while a fake pir would."
"Oh come on! This is too ridiculous. But my question is who in the world thought up of this campaign."
"It's not illegal to tell peoples fortunes even if you are making it up."
"If we can allow politicians to promise us the moon and not deliver a thing then how can we accuse a fake pir of not delivering what he said God promised us in any case?"
"Right, meanwhile the campaign has been launched."
