"Mian sahib says he won't answer those questions that he has already requested the commission that is yet to be established to probe."
"Defiant yet again, hunh?"
"Well, you can't change someone's personality so late in the day you know".
"What about the concept of lessons learned?"
"Well for the life of me I don't see anyone in politics adapting to lessons learned."
"Zardari sahib completed his five-year tenure and even if he stepped on the tail of the establishment sometimes, for example the notification placing the ISI under Rehman Malik, yet he quickly reversed it once he became aware of strong disapproval..."
"OK, but this was Zardari sahib's first stint in power so I am not sure if you can refer to his attack and retreat (when threatened) policy as lesson learned."
"I disagree, because during his wife's prime ministership Zardari sahib learnt the advantages of keeping all on board at whatever cost to the exchequer and that in a nutshell defined his policy of reconciliation. Mian sahib on the other hand has not deviated from past behaviour and need I remind you this very same attitude cost him the prime ministership twice before."
"For your information, PML-N won the by-election seat in KPK vacated after the death of a PML-N MPA and I don't think it needed Maryam Nawaz's tweet for us to question PTI's capacity to win seats from the PML-N in its stronghold."
"What does the Khan have to say to that?"
"He says Captain Safdar, the husband of the First Daughter, did not declare his wife's assets that were revealed in the Panama Leaks and the PTI has moved the Election Commission of Pakistan..."
"Two questions and one statement: Did the retired Captain know about his wife's offshore accounts? And why has the wife legally changed her name back to Maryam Nawaz? And the statement is: aren't you, as a woman, proud of Maryam Nawaz as she appears to take financial decisions that may not be shared with her husband."
"Hey, no judging you silly, all answers will be given to the commission if and when it is established."
"Don't be facetious. But anyway my analysis of the recent PML-N win in by-elections is simple: you cannot write off the PML-N just because of the Panama leaks. Don't forget whatever scams and allegations have been levelled against Zardari sahib's party yet it continues to control Sindh."
"Because no one has challenged the PPP in rural Sindh; Mian sahib would do well to understand that he needs seats from Punjab cities and cities are the first casualties in terms of lost constituencies in the event of a scam of the likes of Panama leaks".
"We shall see in 2018 my friend."
