Partly Facetious : Benazir was never referred to as 'sahiba'

"I have a theory."
"Oh dear Lord, not another one!"
"You'd like this one and need I add if Fawad Chaudhry had been the Minister for Information he would have pounced on it."
"You are missing him aren't you?!"
"Indeed, to me he epitomized a bridge between the old and the new Pakistan and let's be honest we need that bridge because a lot going on is what used to happen in the old Pakistan - for example the number of jalsas addressed by the Prime Minister and his announcements of projects for which there is no money in the treasury smacks of the old Pakistan...."
"Ah, but those project announcements are not impromptu, I saw The Khan read out the list..."
"Nawaz Sharif would turn to the representative of the area for the list."
"There you go: the difference is that in the new Pakistan the prime minister carries his list."
"Don't be facetious."
"Anyway, my theory is that when The Khan through a slip of the tongue referred to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as sahiba (female) instead of sahib (male) he was actually acknowledging BBZ's political credentials...wait, hear me out...wasn't BBZ's mother, the real leader in the Bhutto Zardari family. If I recall correctly, before her assassination, she alone had the power to bestow favours on her husband and in-laws and need I add, even in death she continues to get votes for the party."
"Benazir Bhutto was never referred to as sahiba which translates into lady; wasn't mohtarma the word used which incidentally translates into Madame...or so the Urdu-English dictionary tells me."
"Right, but lady implies royalty while in French all adult women, married or unmarried, are referred to as madame."
"Okaaay, and..."
"And wait I am not finished - Maryam Nawaz when she came out to play on the front foot and mind we were all impressed with her speeches and delivery, like we are today with what Bilawal is saying..."
"Maryam was unable to take the majority of the party members along with her - but yes her speeches and delivery were certainly good."
"Anyway, Maryam Nawaz was also referred to as sahiba wasn't she?"
"I don't recall, at the time the focus was on dropping Safdar as her last name and replacing it with her maiden last name Nawaz..."
"My point The Khan subconsciously, assuming it was a slip of the tongue, acknowledged BBZ as an opponent by the use of the word sahiba, and the proof my dear is in the fact that the entire PTI appears to be focused on bad mouthing or attacking BBZ."
"I agree, they do seem focused on that, just like they were on Maryam Nawaz before her conviction."
