"So a member of parliament can bad mouth whichever institution it wants and whoever it wants and cannot be challenged in a court of law."
"It's not as if our defamation laws are any good: or is it the same as is the usual with our laws: great laws but no implementation."
"Well, the courts may beg to differ - there was the legislation that allowed a disqualified prime minister to remain the party leader and..."
"And the apex court has disqualified him again."
"But I just wanted to point out to you that the language used in our parliament against other members of parliament has been... been..."
"Ha ha ha, your publication would not allow the same language as was allowed by the only Sadiq (truthful) in our parliament?"
"Well, let's put it this way, the rest of the name namely Sardar Ayaz kinda undermines the ameen (honest) given that our constitution requires a member of our parliament to be Sadiq and ameen."
"Don't be facetious."
"But I guess you are right, anyway The Goat viciously attacked the Khan and..."
"And Khan's second wife has viciously attacked the third wife. The second wife also attacked the first wife right, if I recall correctly."
"Don't get into personal matters is what I say but anyway the kind of abuse hurled by members of parliament in parliament against each other as well as against institutions is not new but you must endorse Nawaz Sharif's strategy - I mean he is getting his Chosen to bad mouth all those he and his daughter are bad mouthing in their public speeches."
"But surely the Father and Daughter both know that this approach doesn't reflect unwavering loyalty as they can say what they want in parliament and no one or no institution can challenge them? Let them come out of their closets..."
"Oops, that could mean something else... but I get what you want, my point is this approach does fuel ill will doesn't it?"
"Yes, but here you have to concede that Mian Nawaz Sharif, our three times currently disqualified prime minister has a penchant for generating ill will even where there is no need."
"And I am happy to state that his Daughter has inherited this trait and she will go far in politics and..."
"Don't be facetious."
