"So the Chosen One has been summoned..."
"One night before his previously announced return."
"The Government is saying he was scheduled to arrive a day earlier - that the Press got it wrong."
"As the Press got the pictures wrong of the police beating the hell out of protesters in Lahore?"
"Pretty much like that, yes."
"Do they think we are fools?"
"No, but I think they think we are acceptors. After all its been over seven years and..."
"That is certainly true."
"But you know if the CJ can be summoned then surely it is no big deal that the Chosen One is summoned."
"Right both owe their job to the same source of power."
"Indeed but where one is continuing to defer the other is not."
"Differences will arise in the end."
"Right! So the Chosen One was summoned and had to cut short his visit to Uzbekistan."
"These foreign visits..."
"Are good for economic ties..."
"I haven't seen too many ties expanding as a result of these visits! I have seen public expenditure rise..."
"Grapes are sour. I mean if you were included in the entourage..."
"Maybe, but I still don't understand why the Chosen One has been summoned. I mean he has no clout, not even within the Lota party, he has no constituency, and above all he has the support of only one man..."
"Who summoned him..."
"Indeed yes, but what can the Chosen One do? We all know he supports Musharraf's stand but he won't be able to convince anyone of the rightness of this. The guy is known and seen as the Chosen One and that is hardly going to make anyone believe in his objective analysis of the situation."
"Maybe, his quiet manner can..."
"Don't think the people are in the mood to be convinced by anyone in the Musharraf camp."
"Even the lawyers are refusing to take the case for the government."
"That never happened before."
"Things will change now."
"I believe you."
