"They are tweedle dee and tweedle dum."
"If you are referring to Imran Khan as tweedledee..."
"Male, he is all male, so tweedle dum."
"But that's not quite right is it. Besides if Khan is tweedle dum then who is tweedle dee. And why use such inane epithets, I mean which idiot ever came up with tweedle dee and dum?"
"Let me give you the historical background to the two characters. John Byrom, not Byron, also an English poet satirised the disagreement between Handel, a German composer and Bononcini, Italian cellist and singer, in a poem which goes as follows:
Some say, comapr'd to Bononcini
That Mynheer Handel's but a Ninny
Others aver, that he to Handel
Is scarcely fit to hold a Candle
Strange all this Difference should be
Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee!"
"So I guess if you say Khan is tweedle dum then you must say Nawaz Sharif is tweedle dee?"
"Well, I was thinking more of twins in our politics rather than those in conflict if you know what I mean."
"Afraid not."
"I would twin Asif Ali Zardari with Rehman Malik and we all know who is the dominant twin, I would twin Nawaz Sharif with Ishaq Dar because where ever one is the other is sure to follow...yes we also know who the dominant twin is..."
"Dar was in Quetta with the scheme that envisages the government paying the bills of all students in PhD and MPhil courses and Sharif wasn't with him."
"It's not as if he wasn't scheduled to be there - I heard traffic was stalled in Quetta for hours waiting for his arrival..."
"That's OK, his twin Dar benefited. And for your information Mian sahib was engaged in an activity that was in the national interest - he was reportedly busy driving the two new bullet proof cars that the government purchased for him."
"You are being facetious. I would have you know that there has been a decline in current expenditure..."
"Look at the leaked figures. But anyway Dar follows his Prime Minister faithfully - Mian sahib rarely goes to the assembly, but when ever he goes Dar is sure to follow, I mean Mian sahib also waits for Dar in the event that he is sick or out of the country for some events, and that's a lesson you must learn."
"Hey come on, all leaders have hangers on and..."
"The lesson learned is how samdhis must behave - defined as parents of those who are wed."
"You are being facetious."
