Partly Facetious: Zulfikar Mirza's wife, son still in

"So Rehman Malik is back in favour?"
"Indeed he is, you know what I find baffling is that he was forgiven."
"Why? The President does not hold grudges against his loyalists for long."
"Zulfikar Mirza is still on the out and..."
"Right but his wife and son are in, besides I am not sure if he is really out or whether he was a pawn in a salvo against the MQM."
"The MQM's return salvo may be why Malik is back in favour."
"What return salvo?"
"Refusal to acknowledge that the meeting with the President will take place while he is in the UK for the three nation summit though I did read reports that the President did call Altaf Hussain by phone and..."
"Who released the news story that the phone call took place? The MQM headquarters in London or the Presidency?"
"Rehman Malik trying to hog the headlines back home."
"Don't be facetious."
"I see where you are going with this but the fact remains that it does show that at this moment in time the MQM has the upper hand."
"Sure but Malik has been unable to control lawlessness in Karachi and..."
"That's really not his fault, he has no control over the PPP amn committees or the militant wings of other parties, he doesn't even have control over what operation to launch and..."
"But he does strut around while on camera claiming all kinds of terror alerts based on information that you and I know the intelligence agencies are not sharing with him."
"He is with you as long as the President is in politics but you know the leader of the opposition Chaudhary Nisar doesn't read weather reports, he should."
"I understand the political heat is rising and..."
"No I mean literally. It was forecast that Islamabad would receive heavy rains throughout Monday and Tuesday and a dharna out in the open starting Monday was not a good idea."
"Have you heard of shamiaanas?"
"Yes but..."
"Where there is a will there is a way and let me add a way with comfort."
"I get it, reminds of Tahir ul Qadri in his expensive bunker while his followers with their small children were out in the open at near zero temperatures during the night..."
"Hey he did say he won't stand for elections."
"I get it."
