“So what do you call someone who elicits spirited defense for a job extremely badly done?” “I am not sure, two questions for clarification: is the spirited defender aware of the job badly done? And how many are negatively impacted by the job badly done?”
“That’s a tough one, I mean let’s put it this way, the spirited defender is aware of the bad performance but for more than half a century has developed a psyche that obeys rather than questions.”

“Hmmm, The Samdhi won’t like that!”
“No but what if he is offered the Punjab Chief Ministership? I mean taking a leaf from the murshed and the guided we need a Wasim Akram plus as Chief Minister Punjab and for Nawaz Sharif there is no other…”
