"Rehman Malilk said the opposition should accept his claim that there is no corruption in his ministry or else."
"Or, else what?"
"Or, else he will reveal how much members of the Opposition have stolen from this country through corruption."
"I don't understand."
"He spoke Rehmania which I define as tit for tat."
"Hey this word is kinda becoming part of the Urdu lexicon."
"I agree, corruption is rampant and..."
"No, not corruption, that's not unique to this government or the PPP, the word I was referring to is Rehmania."
"Whatever do you mean?"
"Well, there is the Rehmania Hajj, where Malik gets to pick and choose who to send for Hajj at state expense, though I am no longer clear whether the Ministry of Interior foots the bill or the Saudi government, though why the Saudis would pick up the bill for those who want to be indebted to Malik is beyond me especially considering that the Saudis have persistently refused to give this poor hapless country deferred payment facility for oil imports and..."
"Right, right there is the Rehmania Hajj and the Rehmania-type press conferences defined as the speaker not even bothering to make credible statements."
"You are referring to the Rehmania statement that there is no CIA activity in this country?"
"Well yes, not credible that!"
"Then there is the Rehmania reconciliation process..."
"Never heard of that!"
"Its more common name is National Reconciliation Ordinance."
"Hey that was Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto's baby."
"Maybe, but it was made possible by our very own Rehman Malik."
"OK, I have one question: why doesn't Malik reveal the corruption of the Sharifs and then go after them through FIA and Babar Awan can then take on the case in court? I mean why wait."
"Rehmania means tit for tat or reconciliation process a la Zardi definition."
"Indeed."
