"Where all other administrations failed this one will succeed. Now I ask you what is so different about this particular claim."
"Imran Khan is an honest man, he wants to change this country from being corruption-ridden to being as corruption-free as possible, he reckons that the onus of corruption rests with those who have held cabinet posts, you know senior members of the executive, and who have spread a culture of dishonesty along the chain of command - from the highest to the lowest and..."
"Excuse me, did you say executive? Because if you did, don't forget we have had some adventurers as well and..."
"Those adventurers are gone and let me remind you that any institution is as good as its head and Imran Khan is an honest man..."
"I get it, don't begin your mantra again, but let me remind you that irrespective of what we reckon are the sources of untold wealth of the leaders of our status quo parties they did try to widen the tax net when in power and reduce power theft and losses and..."
"I know and failed as they were told that the laws of the land were not consistent with widening the net or bringing back capital that had flown from the country or the way to end power theft."

"His real brother Zubayr is not a Khanzadeh he is a Nawala, and need I add he knows how qualified his brother is to run the economy and..."
"I ask you: does Governor of Sindh have a higher importance than a Federal Finance Minister?"
"I would reckon the federal minister."
"Even a federal minister for human rights?"
"OK no, the importance depends on the portfolio and finance ministry is way up there next to the prime minister himself."
"I rest my case."
