PARTLY FACETIOUS: Qamar's conduct guided by deep ethics

"I heard some people were betting against Naveed Qamar during his brawl with the PTI's
Published February 6, 2021

"I heard some people were betting against Naveed Qamar during his brawl with the PTI's man..."

"He is a quiet and kind man, not known for brawling but I guess if push comes to shove then he is a Pakistani after all."

"Hmm but to take on the other man who appeared much stronger and...."

"Enough! This is illegal and should not be allowed."

"Excuse me but brawls may have been frowned upon in Medina ki riyasat but they were not illegal."

"Yeah but betting was illegal."

"Oh that's right."

"You know I find it interesting that there was a brawl in parliament after the government tabled a constitutional amendment which it does not have the numbers to pass and..."

"The Khan reckons there is..."

"As did his predecessors to their cost."

"Hmm but the funny thing is that if the bill is passed...."

"Not likely."

"But if it is passed then you know that The Khan cannot expel any member of his party for not showing his hand in favour of his selected candidate because the constitution only allows expulsion in the event that the party member votes against his party in a vote of no confidence and on the finance bill."

"I am not sure of that but in any case this would also be work in progress."

"Right."
