Partly Facetious: one yatra per month, all unwaged
"Zardari we are told is off to the US again."
"Why?"
"To attend an interfaith meeting."
"That's not his city or country."
"Whatever do you mean?"
"Mian Sahib reportedly arrived in Dubai, called Zardari and said he was visiting his town."
"And Zardari's rejoinder was I am going to your town, and he was going to Saudi Arabia..."
"When you have an exiled leadership..."
"Now that exile is over surely they should both shift bag and baggage back here."
"The comfort level is not that high."
"Maybe it will be high if they can bring in a constitutional amendment."
"Whatever do you mean?"
"We need an amendment that does not grant the dictator the authority to exile any citizen of this country."
"Oh, and this amendment would be right after the one that grants the President all the powers."
"It doesn't matter where you place this amendment..."
"I meant that if any one man has all the powers then he can effectively get rid of any constitutional amendment through decree."
"Ah, I get it now, so our President is off again."
"Correct and one would hope he doesn't take that many people on this yatra."
"So two yatras to the US, two to Saudi Arabia, one to the UK, one to China..."
"One per month on average I would say."
"And not a penny came to Pakistan."
