Partly Facetious: Malik promises strong security for New Year's eve

"A suspicious looking person put the kabaash on the federal cabinet meeting Gwadar."
Published January 1, 2010

"A suspicious looking person put the kabaash on the federal cabinet meeting Gwadar."
"Kabaash?"
"As in suspended the meeting for a while."
"I know you are being facetious."
"No, seriously the media was informed that here was a suspicious looking person at Gwadar and..."
"I know who you are referring to as suspicious looking person."
"Who?"
"Rehman Malik."
"That's not true."
"It's the poor guy's moustache but let me inform you that he has cultivated that moustache in what is now widely acknowledged as the Zardi style and his moustache must be seen as the utmost loyalty test."
"Now who is being facetious?"
"See a moustache doesn't suit Malik and..."
"Hey, Prime Minister Gilani also has a moustache."
"His moustache droops."
"He cuts it off before you can tell whether it will droop or whether it would be turned upward like President Zardari's in his younger days."
"Or, like the Sharif brothers."
"You are so bad. But anyway I wasn't referring to Malik when I said that a suspicious looking guy put the kabaash on the cabinet meeting."
"And the security caught it? Nice. And in Karachi we had the commercial hub of the city in flames with goondas on the rampage after the suicide terrorist attack and no one figured that out."
"I agree, the goondas followed the suicide attacker but then the goondas seemed very organised as if they had prior knowledge."
"The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan have claimed responsibility for the suicide attack."
"I am suspicious about that considering what followed."
"Anyway, you keep on talking about lessons learned well let me tell you a valuable lesson has been learnt and the city police have issued a warning, or is it Malik that issued the warning."
"A warning against whom? The goondas after the rampage?"
"No against all those who will fire in the air on New Year's eve. Strict action will be taken against them."
"You are being facetious."
"Nope, that actually was announced as well."
