"President Musharraf says that it was the Chosen One who filed a reference against the non-functional Chief Justice."
"While he was on a visit to Uzbekistan! Surely if it was the Chosen One he would have waited till his return from abroad!"
"I don't think anyone believes that!"
"But the Chosen One will back the One who chose him."
"Indeed and that is why Musharraf took his name."
"No hint of dissent there."
"None."
"Musharraf did summon him back a day earlier than scheduled though."
"Musharraf may have wanted someone around who completely supported him."
"The Chaudhrys and the other Lotas..."
"Have further messed up the situation..."
"Well the Chosen One is brighter and more educated and..."
"With no support base..."
"Musharraf also says people are too quick to blame him for everything."
"But then he has control over everything doesn't he!"
"That's true he hasn't given control to anyone else - not in things that matter."
"That is true."
"Why did the Lota forces pick up the non-functional President?"
"Who?"
"Tarar."
"That was funny. I mean it's not as if the poor guy had any power even when he was President and..."
"Maybe they thought the lawyers and the opposition would coalesce into one and then the last one hatted President maybe elevated to the post once more and..."
"And they get Tarar to file a reference against Musharraf as the legitimate president and Musharraf as the Chief of Army Staff..."
"Hey, that is rather far-fetched in this land of non-functionals."
"Don't be facetious."
