Partly Facetious: Why don't we give money set aside for BISP to Edhi?

"I was wondering...Edhi does a great job with our charity money, right?"
Published May 26, 2017

"I was wondering...Edhi does a great job with our charity money, right?"
"Right, I don't think there are any out there who would disagree."
"Why don't we give all the money set aside for Benazir Income Support Programme to Edhi Foundation to spend?"
"Sputter, sputter, sputter..."
"Do you want some water? Is that croak coming from your mouth a yes? Just nod...feel better?"
"Yes I do and I would like to hit you on the head. How can you be so cruel? Do you know the number of jobs that would be lost if this happens? And what about Marvi Memon, she left Musharraf and then need I add did not join The Khan party because he has no appreciation for a diamond, an uncut diamond but a diamond nonetheless..."
"Hey, all I meant was that Edhi is all over the country and has a network that rivals the Benazir Income Support Programme and..."
"Stop, stop right there."
"I simply want the money to be used appropriately."
"Stop it I say. You and I both know that each year during his budget speech Ishaq Dar tries to avoid using the name of the slain PPP leader, Income Support Programme is his preferred title, and each year he boasts that he is giving more for the BISP then Zardari sahib ever gave..."
"See that is the difference between a true heir and an accountant...no, that's not right is it?"
"Oh shush. Let him be. Today, the day of the budget speech, is his day after all - where you and I and all of us listen to him."
"And Mian sahib doesn't have to direct us to do so."
"Ha ha ha."
