Partly Facetious: Imran only a leader of party

"Imran Khan reminded me of Musharraf on Wednesday."
Published January 16, 2015

"Imran Khan reminded me of Musharraf on Wednesday."
"That's so unfair - the Khan is a democrat, though he is all in all in the party, I mean he can kick out anyone he wants and he can take on anyone he wants because he is the one who got votes in 2013 while Musharraf without the army is a political nobody."
"Well, what I was referring to was Khan's statement that he is only a leader of a party and not the chief executive of the province and the army school belongs to the army and he was not allowed to visit on the day that General Raheel visited the school with his wife on the first day of classes after the tragedy..."
"Right, blame it on others policy - Musharraf's defence is that he was the president while it was the prime minister who took all executive decisions as per our constitution so Shaukat Aziz and his cabinet must bear the blame for all decisions and need I add Zardari said the same thing when he was president..."
"Yep, and that makes me conclude that the Khan has come of age in terms of acting like a national leader - I mean he came with 21 cars behind him and arrived late in the school and the same day Zardari sahib arrived four hours late to distribute tax money amongst the families of the assassinated policemen..."
"Zardari was late because he was watching the Khan saga unfold on television and..."
"Don't be facetious besides the Khan and his wife were welcomed by students."
"And so was Zardari."
"But Khan didn't have to distribute cheques amongst the students..."
"Right, the students' school hours were not over so they couldn't leave."
"Irrespective of school timing, it goes to show that Khan was more popular in his Wednesday target audience than Zardari sahib in his target audience."
"But Pervez Rashid strutting around made the entire Khan incident suspect if you ask me!"
"Pervez Rashid works under the First Daughter I hear and she is focused on the electronic media coverage alone but you know I would like to advise her to look at the world wide outcome of engaging in negative politics on television - the perpetrator invariably loses."
"Ah, but it was so much fun to throw what happened outside the school in Imran's face!"
"Had Charlie Chaplin and company kept quiet the outcome of the Khan public relation fiasco in Peshawar would have been much greater."
"Charlie Chaplin and company?"
"Charlie Chaplin always came with a love interest and a villain of the piece. And I did see characters around Pervez Rashid who bore a striking resemblance..."
"You are being facetious but then Wednesday was the day all national political parties' leaders behaved badly as far as I am concerned."
