Partly Facetious : The Bilawis?

"What do you reckon is the most irksome prevalent state of affairs for the people of this country?"
Published February 16, 2019

"What do you reckon is the most irksome prevalent state of affairs for the people of this country?"
"I guess for Zardari sahib's supporters, Zardis, it is the ongoing money laundering case and for the..."
"I heard there are a growing number of adherents who wish to be known as Bilawis..."
"Let me correct you - the Bilawis, as in billa which as you know translates into cat known for stealth when hunting, do not have the courage to openly declare themselves as Bilawis..."
"I am not sure, I agree - let me use the generic term PPP to point out that many who come on television display the photograph of Bilawal and his mum only, no Zardari sahib leave alone Faryal Talpur..."
"Shush, don't you do what many televisions programmes do - fuel discord and..."
"I stand corrected, anyway Nawaz Sharif's supporters, the nawalas or its all in the first bite..."
"What are you? A vampirist, I mean first bite indeed."
"Sorry, anyway they are irked by the court versus the Sharif brothers and the Khanzadehs are also irked by the same thing: the court versus the Sharif brothers..."
"National parties think alike, and there are only the two left now irrespective of what the Zardis and the Bilawis and the few remaining jiyalas may think..."
"I won't comment on that, when I said what is the most irksome to people I meant common people like me. Sure I am upset at the scale of wealth of the leaders but they say its all legit, Zardari sahib says even the not legit is usual for business people, and you know he is right because businesses the world over hide their wealth in their country and outside, they engage in tax avoidance which is legal in several countries though laws are changing, then there is..."
"OK, but where are you going with all this?"
"OK, when I asked you what is the most irksome to the common people like me I was referring to bumps."
"Did you mean bum like beggars, old people, women and children - I guess this is the only profession that discriminates against able bodied men?"
"Ha, ha, yes indeed, but I meant bumps, road bumps - in Islamabad it seems that the more powerful the embassy the more the bumps around it. The US Embassy has more than 10 or 15 surrounding its sprawling compound, the Brits have two, Saudis have three or four, the Chinese have just the one or two, then there is..."
"They don't want you to go at speed and kill Pakistanis because their own nationals can take their cars inside the compounds and...what about India?"
"Indians were lucky - there were already bumps on either side of the entrance before they began construction."
"You reckon these embassies ask CDA before putting them up?"
"If so, I would like to ask CDA how much money..."
"What are you the National Accountability Bureau? Accusing people before you have proof..."
"No, there is a difference - NAB can jail people, I can't."
"Don't be facetious."
