"So where is Ishaq Dar?"
"Well, there are some who say he is not in the country."
"Right and before you begin to speculate negatively..."
"What's negative speculation?"
"Well, you seem to be attacking Dar not as a finance minister but as a...as an..."
"Accountant?"
"How many times do I have to tell you that Dar sahib was not an accountant but an auditor and the difference between the two is as wide as between... between black and white!"
"Black and white are both colours!"
"Don't be facetious."
"Anyway, I have a question! Dar sahib, contrary to his previous behaviour of always being in front of the camera, vigorously defending his policies through massaged data either personally or getting someone in the Finance Division to do it, has not uttered a word for over a month in spite of wide spread criticism of where he has landed the Pakistan economy so does that mean he is not in the country. Is he in Dubai with his family..."
"Press Information Department released his picture dated 7th September shaking hands with the Governor of Xinjiang province, so he is in China."
"Ah, you mean the PDD - Press Disinformation Department. And for your information, again contrary to past practice, there was no accompanying report with the picture! So what in the world was he doing there?"
"He was receiving a souvenir the caption said."
"Did he go there just to receive a souvenir?"
"I don't know - these days he is uncharacteristically quiet as you said and I reckon that he directed the PDD to release that picture to tell skeptics like you that he is still working away..."
"May I ask a question?"
"Yes, he is disturbed about the reopening of a case against him and I agree with you that he shouldn't have gone and quashed his own affidavit, I mean what did he expect? Once he denied the affidavit the immunity would kinda go away right!"
"He was between a rock and a hard place."
"I guess Mian sahib was the rock and the Panama Papers the hard place."
"Don't be facetious."
"OK, but what I want to know is that given that the Supreme Court said that his wealth increased 91 times in around 6 years so is this wealth sourced to the time when he was associated with the Sharif family, which would explain Mian sahib's disenchantment with him, or was that money made through savings..."
"The money is sourced to a very wealthy UAE Sheikh who hired Dar from 2002 to 2008 and gave him nearly a million dollars monthly as salary in cash, not through a bank..."
"I get it."
"Some didn't get it and I would urge them to look at Dar sahib receiving a souvenir from the Governor of Xinjiang province: it shows his dedication to national interest in spite of his legal difficulties for after all CPEC is the game changer..."
"I give up."
