"Nadeem Khadim and his band of merry men have been accused by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) of shooting unarmed minors without provocation."
"Anyone who has Khadim as his last name cannot possibly engage in shooting without provocation."
"What if he takes on Khadim as an epithet?"
"Don't be facetious."
"So you are going to present an increasingly Pervez Rashid style defence namely that investigation is underway and refuse to accept the testimony of impartial eye witnesses, and I am referring to the media here, who asked the moustached Rashid as to how could he ignore the fact that not a single Khadim sb's man was wounded."
"You know a moustache can be so telling."
"Excuse me!"
"Khadim sahib's moustache reflects a man of action while Rashid's moustache reflects a man of defence."
"And how would you define a man of action?"
"Someone with sensitive guards, I mean you know and I know that Khan sahib's minors engage in a tongue lashing quite frequently and PML-N don't like their leader to be denigrated by under 21s..."
"And they are OK with over 21 denigrating him?"
"OK, they don't like anyone to say anything bad about their leader though they don't extend the same courtesy to other leaders."
"So do unto others as others do unto you is not a battle cry of the party?"
"It's not a battle cry of our democracy - but you know in the Punjab we take strong exception to criticism and Mian sahib is a Punjabi through and through."
"So is the Khan."
"There you go, in politics you have to be able to take criticism. Now we have Zardari sahib, a Sindhi Baloch, and he never minded criticism - well, let me qualify that he minds it but let's it pass or issues a legal notice."
"I want to joint the Bhutto Zardari party."
"Good choice! Because Zardari sahib can take criticism..."
"No because he has party meetings in London."
"Oh, you are being facetious."
