"Raja sahib finally got a trip to the West."
"What do you mean?"
"With a few weeks remaining before he is constitutionally mandated to go back to his private residence he is off to the UK."
"Infrastructure around his private residence in Gujjar Khan has been upgraded and..."
"What's it to you! The guy is the country's Prime Minister after all. But I don't think he will shift lock stock and barrel to Gujjar Khan, he has a nice house in Islamabad, not as nice as the Prime Minister's House and the lawn is kinda small, and only one car can come in his porch..."
"He has always claimed he is from the people in terms of income, not anymore but anyway my point is given that the President and the Foreign Minister and the COAS were all in the UK less than a week before..."
"Don't you be so harsh on Raja sahib! By the way lock, stock and barrel, reminds me that a new arms import policy is in the works and all those who want licenses must seek an audience with Rehman Malik..."
"There is so much lawlessness in this country, I would have thought they would ban import of arms, not open it."
"The policy envisages strict rules for application approval but you and I know that is not gonna happen."
"I agree, and that's why parliamentarians insist Rehman Malik attends the national assembly, I see a long queue of our MNAs seeking his signature on the license forms in the assembly hall."
"As I always say each member of the federal cabinet has his/her use."
"Anyway Raja sahib is the country's Prime Minister and you should not grudge him a trip to the West with all the protocol of a head of government! I mean why ever not!"
"Agreed but at this juncture with money extremely scarce and..."
"So what? As the PM he has access to discretionary funds."
"I hear that he has spent them all in Gujjar Khan."
"You are being facetious aren't you? You know that our Prime Minister has access to other finances and all he has to do is direct the Finance Minister to allocate funds for a specific sector in a specific area and his will be done..."
"Indeed."
