"What would you do if a political party is hell-bent on at best embarrassing you on a daily basis and at worst toppling you through undemocratic means?"
"I would clear sensitive areas forcefully."
"The government tried that and failed - remember quite a few people landed up in hospitals and the morgue, as did some policemen."
"You know we need to educate our people - not to be swayed by the likes of political leaders."
"OK, but tomorrow when you are in the opposition then these educated people would not vote for you. I mean the 2013 elections showed that in just five years the people in cities voted on the basis of performance - I mean was there any city where a political party in power in 2008-13 won."
"In Sindh the PPP won, in Punjab the PML-N won and Bilour won in Peshawar in the bye-elections on a seat vacated by the Khan..."
"OK, but the PPP did not win from cities while the PML-N won from some cities where the Khan says rigging has taken place and the Bilour party was wiped out."
"So what's the moral of the story?"
"For who? Political leaders or the public?"
"Don't be facetious."
"Seriously a politician should not spend money on education, you know these educated people do not vote for any party even if they receive lap tops and cars and other consumer items from the government. And need I add Mian sahib and company, and by company I am not referring to his courtiers but to all parties who support a status quo, have learned this lesson well: invest minimally in education."
"Chaudhry Nisar finally jumped on the bandwagon and accused the Khan of Nawaz Sharif bashing on a daily basis..."
"Why doesn't the PML-N go to court for defamation?"
"Because that would give a chance to the PTI to bring in all sorts of charges to the court and the government doesn't want that."
"But the Khan is attacking individuals and..."
"Let it be, it's a no brainer, but you know Chaudhry sahib made a PML-N taboo from which PML-N leaders fled without exception into something acceptable."
"Don't get it."
"He came up with the half and half and referred to 'go campaign' and left out all else."
"Considering it's a three-word slogan isn't that one-third only?"
"Don't be facetious."
