Partly Facetious : NS needs to revisit his accountant's performance

"One event in one's life and one is forever remembered for it. That's just not fair."
Published May 2, 2019

"One event in one's life and one is forever remembered for it. That's just not fair."
"If you are referring to Mian Nawaz Sharif I don't agree. There have been several avatars donned by Nawaz Sharif since the Panama papers revelation..."
"I get it, but he needs to revisit his accountant's performance - the man who gave a detailed affidavit to the military dictator because he just couldn't stand being in jail..."
"That's true, Rehman Malik in contrast, the Bhutto Zardaris' man, was tortured but he never ever provided any details...but for your information one fires an accountant but one cant fire the father of your daughter's husband."
"True you give him the finance ministry. Anyway Mian Sahib just doesn't generate the same loyalty as the Bhutto Zardaris and the reason is that they are landlords while the Sharifs are men of steel..."
"And sugar mills and paper mills and textile mills and I hear chicken farms and..."
"Hey, they create wealth...and The Khan likes those who create wealth, just not the Sharifs, the Bhutto-Zardaris..."
"The Khan reckons wealth created by these families was for their own family members only, it never filtered down but the wealth that will be created during The Khan tenure will filter down."
"How? The decision makers on his left and his right are industrialists who seek more fiscal and monetary incentives! The Khan has given a 140 billion rupee package to these industrialists and need I remind you at a time when the treasury is empty..."
"I am going to change the subject back to what I said earlier, has anything happened in The Khan's life that he will forever be remembered for?"
"His hat-tricks."
"He gave several hat tricks when he was playing cricket, but I meant more recently..."
"He has three children, he has been married thrice, he has been in power eight months and already had two finance ministers, I reckon another one would be appointed as soon as Dr Hafeez Sheikh fails to deliver..."
"Don't under-estimate Dr Sheikh. He was Zardari sahib's longest serving finance minister, Zardari sahib who appointed five finance ministers and four governors of the State Bank, Dr Sheikh was also much appreciated by Musharraf, though not by Shaukat Aziz, and I bet you anything he has already made a place for himself in The Khan's heart and..."
"How? The economy is in a bad place and Dr Sheikh's past performance led the PML-N government in 2013 to immediately go on an IMF programme and..."
"I wasn't referring to his capacity to deliver as the finance minister. Remember after the first day in Beijing in a Western suit, Dr Sheikh began to wear shalwar kameez just like the The Khan. I don't recall Asad Umar doing that."
"Hmm and neither does Shah Mehmud Qureshi."
"And Swati only wears shalwar kameez as does Firdous Ashiq Awan as does..."
"Don't be facetious."
