"Senator Maryam Nawaz has resigned from the post of chairperson of Prime Minister's Youth Programme."
"Don't be facetious - you know that her becoming a senator is very doable. Besides she has set a good precedence - implementing the court verdict."
"Hey, she had no choice."
"You have heard of appeal process haven't you which, if the wind blows the right way, can be quite lengthy."
"See there is a difference there between the Sharif men and the Sharif women. If you recall when Mian sahib was in Musharraf's jail and before he agreed to be exiled, Maryam's mom, Kulsoom, was active and she was respected a lot. She never made any derogatory comments against anyone like the Sharif men routinely engage in and..."
"That's because the Sharif women have never ever been part of PML-N political machinery. And to be fair the other politicians also routinely denigrate the Sharif men, so tit for tat..."
"You reckon the Sharif politics would have been more transparent if the women were engaged in the process?"
"Where does transparency come in?"
"Well, it does in the sense that decisions taken by the federal government against the Khan and his top team including the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on the attack by their workers on PTV are at odds with the decisions taken in Punjab after 17th June when so many were killed and after a judicial commission ruled that the provincial government was implicit."
"Hey, there is a difference between Punjab and Islamabad?"
"The difference is in transparency and fairness and..."
"I don't know about that but Islamabad is the federal capital while Lahore is a provincial capital."
"Oh, so what is good for the goose is not good for the gander?"
"Precisely, but a word of advice when you consider Punjab actions do think gander and not goose."
"If we ask the Pakistani women they would think the gander is Imran Khan and don't forget women are around 50 percent or more of our population and..."
"See this is what baffles the leaders of our two major status quo parties - I mean both Mian sahib and Zardari sahib were known as playboys and yet the women vote is Imran Khan's."
"There are playboys who take the initiative and playboys who do not need to take the initiative."
"Oh, you are being facetious."
