"So what's up?"
"Mian Nawaz Sharif, God bless him, has set up a committee to look into the demands of the maulvis stationed in Islamabad and continuing to create traffic havoc in the capital for the ninth day running. And before you say in what capacity did Mian sahib give the order then be thankful that he is at least more engaged with the events in the capital then the fifty plus cabinet."
"Did you hear the proverb a camel is just a horse designed by a committee?"
"That's a Western proverb, now in this country I would amend the proverb to: an ass is a mule designed by a committee."
"I don't get it, isn't a mule a mix between a horse and an ass?"
"Yes and a mixture has a dominant gene, and as we are a male dominated society the ass genes would be dominant... don't look so confused, need I add the word asinine is..."
"Oh shush, why complicate matters so much."
"Anyway, it is sad I mean all the exhortations to the electronic media not to cover the event by Pemra and then viola! The government's inaction and the resulting traffic chaos every day got the matter into the news in any case and ironically by the very ministers who probably directed Pemra to request the electronic media not to cover the maulvis sit in - the two being the Minister of Interior and the State Minister."
"Those two are a double whammy I say."
"How about two peas in a pod?"
"No, the pod is not the same - Iqbal is not a man who changes his loyalties when the chips are down."
"I stand corrected, anyway the decision not to give coverage to the maulvis was based on intelligence but unintelligently the government did not understand that it was time bound given its impact on the traffic so my question is how come Ahsan Iqbal, PML-N's only long term visionary, and the incumbent Minister of Interior did not take account of this becoming a long-term problem?"
"Less than two weeks and you call it long-term? Iqbal sahib cannot envision a period less than ten years preferably fifteen."
"Don't be facetious, but does the Worthy gentleman know that he has made Faizabad the new D Chowk?"
"Give it another few sit-ins and perhaps another ten years and he would know."
