Partly Facetious : Who is likely to buy our airports?

"Did you hear the news? Gatwick airport was sold to the French Vinci company and ..."
"Don't go there!"
"Privatisation as a means to generate some cash for our treasury..."
"Yes, but..."
"Hang on, let me complete my sentence, our treasury is empty, and don't forget the Khan administration has agreed to sell two state owned power entities and that shows that it now agrees that the sale money would be better used for plugging the deficits so why not sell the airports?"
"I am not bothered about the Khan administration's U-turns, what I am bothered about is who is likely to buy the country's airports?"
"Well, I know two families who have the money to buy all the airports with what they may consider petty cash - the Sharifs and the Zardaris."
"OK, I agree that there are companies that are flush with cash due to hundreds of thousands of individual account holders who may or may not be aware of their extremely flush bank accounts or the Qataris investment acumen over decades or..."
"Don't be facetious, anyway Bilawal thundered in defense of his daddy and pointed out that he was less than a year old when the companies were established and..."
"Two things my friend, first, if a parent has money in excess of known sources of income then generations down the line cannot legally claim it as their inheritance because the money itself is not kosher besides Bilawal says the accusations in the JIT report against his daddy are white lies and white lies means no one gets hurt I assume but in this case......"
"You are translating directly into English, but in Sindhi politics, white lie means a lie that is meant to hurt daddy and..."
"Oh shush, besides someone wrote his speech for him and he didn't do a practice run; don't forget he is a Bhutto Zardari and not a Sharif and he is not scared of jail time or so stated his daddy and..."
"That brings me to the second point, going to jail when your wife is the opposition leader and you are in your 30s or 40s is not as hard as going to jail in your 60s with a handful of MNAs and..."
"Zardari sahib has been in jail for 11 years Nawaz Sharif and his brother were in jail for mere months so have not yet paid their dues and God wiling..."
"Stop you Khanzadeh!"
