Partly Facetious: Gilani made the major sacrifice

"Raja sahib is one wily guy."
"You don't think he is following instructions?"
"Yes he undoubtedly is, but with a smile - he never antagonised the court or challenged the court's verdicts and he never presented a growing power base in the party."
"But Gilani sahib made the supreme sacrifice."
"True, but you win some and you lose some, but as a politician you must not lose the one who really matters."
"Gilani sahib thought he was adhering to this principle."
"Delusions are not confined to those in lunatic asylums."
"Oh dear! Gilani also maintained that the next Prime Minister would be selected after his blessings, and you and I don't really know if Raja sahib had his blessings or not, and secondly Gilani said that his successor too would not write a letter to Swiss courts which of course is factually correct - Raja sahib has instructed the Law Minister to write the letter."
"We know Mukhdoom Shahabuddin did not have his blessings."
"You are being facetious."
"Facts are facts my friend."
"You reckon the President changed his mind because the Law Minister is not an elected man, I mean he was selected as a Senator by his party while Raja sahib has a constituency and with general elections round the corner...."
"Which corner is that?"
"You are being facetious. Anyway Senate membership also requires an election."
"Technically yes but not..."
"Hey, let it be."
"Do you think the letter is being written because the case is time barred?"
"I don't really care any more."
"Or do you think the letter is being written because the PPP realises that it is better to do something when it is in control then when say a caretaker government is installed."
"But..."
"But ANP, more loyal than the king, has been left with egg on its face, remember the strong anti-judiciary statements by some of its members..."
"President Zardari, if Wikileaks is to be believed, has delivered a lot to the ANP leadership and justifiably wants payback."
"Ah, the vagaries of being a loyal coalition member!"
