Partly Facetious: Is Zardari right-handed or left-handed?
"I am glad the President has decided to mend fences."
"The decision to write the letter to the Swiss court is a good one from his own perspective because right now he has the administration under his control; who knows what will happen after the general elections."
"Agreed, but it must have left Gilani feeling unhappy."
"Who cares about Gilani?"
"Apparently the President does, don't forget Gilani was sitting on the President's left when a meeting of the coalition partners was called."
"Right and Raja Pervez Ashraf was sitting on his right. Do you know whether the President is right handed or left handed?"
"Based on his performance in the political arena I would have to say President Zardari is ambidextrous."
"Don't be facetious."
"Anyway I was not referring to the executive judiciary clash on a range of cases but the President's impromptu visit to Zulfiqar Mirza's residence to mend fences."
"Why do you think he went to visit Mirza? Couldn't he have gone to visit Mrs Mirza and her son who was given the PPP ticket and won the seat from his father's constituency?"
"He could have but..."
"The President is known to be very loyal to his friends and let's be honest Mirza never attacked the President..."
"He did attack his policies with respect to a coalition partner."
"Yes but..."
"And with the general elections imminent and with Mirza's impeccable Sindhi credentials the President may have been thinking as a politician rather than as a friend when he decided to visit the Mirza clan."
"Don't think so. If there is one trait that everyone is agreed the President possesses - PPP stalwarts, jiyalas and his detractors alike - it is his loyalty to his friends, and that is even at a political cost."
"Gilani may disagree and..."
"Gilani was never a friend, he was more like a favoured worker..."
"Ah yes."
