Partly Facetious: Political point-scoring with so little finesse!

"What's up with Khawaja Asif? Political point-scoring and with so little finesse!"
Published August 3, 2012

"What's up with Khawaja Asif? Political point-scoring and with so little finesse!"
"Three things need to be stated. First the money was not repatriated from Pakistan to Dubai, it was from foreign donors of the hospital. Two to argue that putting one's money in real estate is speculative may be correct to some extent but Dubai was the fastest moving real estate market not so long ago, the bubble burst like in other countries unexpectedly but the endowment committee must be held accountable not Imran Khan who is not even a member of the committee. And third for Pete's sake back off from a project that is benefiting many sick in your province."
"Well, it may backfire, the objective was to malign Imran Khan but what he has done for cancer patients of this country Khawaja Asif and his master Nawaz Sharif have been unable or not wanted to do."
"Laptops..."
"Are from public money - not money that Imran khan received from those supporting the hospital, but money you and I are forced to pay to the government as tax."
"Daanish schools, sasti roti..."
"Ill-advised, but from money that you and I pay as taxes."
"So the government has to be held accountable for our tax money but not for what we give in charity?"
"No there are laws that govern charity and if the endowment fund has defied the laws then it must be held accountable but keeping the money in Dubai real estate in the endowment fund, not in a personal account says it all."
"Hey, by the way our President owns real estate in Dubai, you reckon he has suffered a hit too."
"Don't be facetious."
"Nawaz Sharif's sons own some property in London and..."
"Keep quiet - that is their personal property and not for any endowment for any crappy hospital."
"What did President Zardari say to this?"
"He said institutions must stay within their limits.'
"And the Prime Minister?"
"He said to let him enjoy being prime minister for a few days more."
"He did not!"
"Well, he said it's too early to discuss a caretaker set-up."
"To each his own focus!"
