"Do you remember the PML-N said that they would celebrate the Independence Day the entire month of August so my question is, considering that a week of the month has already passed, where are these celebrations being held?"
"Haven't you seen the massive Pakistani flag draped on the side of the Foreign Office?"
"That's not celebration, that's simply an eyesore - I mean there appears to be no taste and..."
"But that huge flag draped on the side of the FO must have cost money too."
"Yes, but the money went from petty cash of the ministry not from the Finance Ministry - I mean its not as if the Finance Ministry is releasing funds for anything other than critical expenditures like enabling the Pakistan State Oil to import fuel and..."
"Well, there is a money issue, I agree, and besides Dar can't be bothered with releasing funds - he has no time, first, nine days in Saudi Arabia for religious reasons and now chairing the parliamentary committee on electoral reforms..."
"Why did the Prime Minister give him that role? Didn't Imran Khan refuse to even take Dar's call? Shouldn't the chairmanship of that committee been given to either Chaudhry Nisar, a non-courtier as per the Khan, or to a PTI chap - I mean the chairmanship alone would not guarantee that the PTI gets what it desires, it's the numbers in the committee so it would have generated good will and..."
"I am not sure that is PML-N's objective and then there is Zardari sahib jumping into the fray - the master of reconciliation which implies giving everyone he talks to his full and unconditional support."
"You know I propose that the Higher Education Commission introduces another subject which is very critical for Pakistan."
"Governance?"
"Good heavens, no."
"Budget making and basic arithmetic?"
"Don't be facetious."
"Statistics and how not to manipulate..."
"Don't be silly anyway the subject that must be introduced is Politics of Reconciliation and I propose Zardari Sahib as the Head of Department, Maulana Fazl as a professor and..."
"And Mian sahib as a faculty member?"
"No, I would advise him to take the course."
"Oh dear."
