Partly Facetious : Zardari ends speeches with 'Jeay Bhutto' slogan
"If a contract was awarded before The Khan donned the mantle of Prime Minister..."
"Donned the mantle? I mean really!"
"I don't mean any disrespect, it's just that the first timers have to don the mantle of becoming the chief executive, I mean the Bhutto Zardaris, the Zardari Bhuttos or indeed the Sharifs of Jaati Umra no longer need to don the mantle of power - how many times do members of these two families remind us, John Q Public, of how long they ruled this country and..."
"I have one objection..."
"Yes I can imagine, but when I say Zardari Bhuttos I am not trying to undermine the relevance of the Zardari clan in Sindh politics today but given that Zardari sahib ends all speeches with Jeay Bhutto (long live Bhutto)..."
"That's because he is first generation Zardari in power. When Bilawal takes over he may add another slogan at the end of his speeches, perhaps Jeay Bhutto, Jeay Zardari..."
"Hmmm, but the Bhutto name is what gets the vote..."
"Zardari rules Sindh my friend, whether you like it or not."
"Hey I don't live in Sindh, I have no issues with the Sindh government giving subsidies to some select companies, but I do pay taxes to the federal government and I would like to ask The Khan to revisit his export package - I reckon we, as the tax payers, have spent more money on the export package than the country has earned due to a consequent increase in exports..."
"Talk of misspending hunh! Anyway when I said I objected to your statement I was referring to your use of John Q Public - now that is OK for the US but not Pakistan..."
"How about Imran M Public and the M stands for Maulana."
"Don't be facetious, what about Zulfi D Public and the D stands for dual nationality. Or Umar I Public with I standing for inflation or..."
"Stop, this is a serious matter and I would urge the owner, who is no longer Director of Descon, to respond to the request for investigation of the Chinese company that it is in a joint venture with Descon - a request made by transparency International..."
"I heard that, the Chinese company is apparently barred from competing for World Bank projects for 18 months and..."
"Perhaps Descon did not do due diligence, you know how whenever a foreign company or individual says something we just believe them implicitly and..."
"An advisor to the prime minister on all important subjects - commerce, and textiles and industries and production - didn't do due diligence when he was a Director of Descon, the company he owns!!"
"Ha ha, ha, welcome to the Naya Pakistan."
