Partly Facetious: Her capacity to run a beleaguered PML-N

"A high-level meeting when Maryam Nawaz is not attending, how is that even possible?"
Published October 31, 2017

"A high-level meeting when Maryam Nawaz is not attending, how is that even possible?"
"Don't be facetious."
"She said her granddaddy and daddy both are convinced that she has tremendous capacity to run the party which bears her last name and her father's first name..."
"In true Sub-Continental style, right!"
"Well, if you reckon our granddaddies and daddies have a bias in our favour that Western granddaddies and daddies don't then you are sorely mistaken."
"No, that's not what I was referring to when I said in Sub-Continental style. I meant many of those who are educated in this country take their dad's first name instead of the last as is the norm in the West because that is the family name and given that the Nawaz Sharifs opted for Western names for their offshore companies instead of a Pakistani name like the Khan..."
"Ah, but if an uncle dearer than life itself shares that last name then you take your daddy's first name."
"You are being facetious. But before she makes another faux pas, she needs to take a course, first year modern technology course on how what you say to a foreign journal can be easily accessed by the local media and vice versa and..."
"OK, but you can't blame Maryam Nawaz for denying ownership of these expensive flats in London, I mean Panama papers should never have happened and legally they were hacked or electronically stolen and...."
"And stolen documents cannot be presented in a court of law!"
"OK, that is not quite right but anyway going back to what we were discussing earlier as to why she is still here while the party leadership is in London trying to get her out of the running or so I heard..."
"If daddy can't protect her interests then she herself surely cannot."
"Why doesn't she send Captain Safdar?"
"His IQ needs an evaluation. I mean of all the inane things to say recently he said that he is the real captain and the Khan isn't. That is baffling cause the entire country remembers the Khan's captaincy of the cricket team while I suppose only the Sharif family remembers him being a captain in the army...."
"Why do you say that? Just because they give him a monthly stipend of 1400 riyals?"
"Hey, that's the pension of a captain."
"Don't be facetious."
