"I am truly baffled."
"If you are referring to the opposition leadership getting together for an iftar..."
"No, that doesn't surprise me; that's a sensible approach from their perspective, mind it took them long enough to sit at the same dining table..."
"They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
"Don't be facetious, and what do they say is the way to a politician's heart?"
"A Reverend Donaldson gave a sermon in Westminster Abbey in 1925 which is interesting; he identified seven social sins..."
"You mean deadly sins?"
"Nope, social sins; the first was wealth without work, now take Maryam Nawaz and Bilawal Bhutto - wealth without work."
"Hey, their parents worked hard, and private enterprise without inheritance laws is not going to work! What did you mean by being baffled by political pundits?"
"It baffles me that our political pundits are giving Maryam Nawaz a lead role in PML-N... let me finish, it may be justified as long as daddy is around to enforce her standing, but these pundits assessment of her role as the leader is premised on the seating arrangement for iftar by Zardari sahib. I mean really!"
"Ha ha, it's because Hamza was seated right at the end of the table while Maryam was seated next to Bilawal."
"And since when did Bilawal become the final decision maker in his party, yes, yes I know Maryam has the ear of her dad to a level that Bilawal may not."
"Bilawal is the one who gets the votes, not his dad."
"Everyone says that the vote bank is Nawaz Sharif's and not his brother's but I ask you the party lost the vote in all provinces in 2018 except Punjab where Shahbaz Sharif was ruling...so I ask you is it valid to say..."
"Polls show Nawaz Sharif as being much more popular than his brother. And the party supremos listen to the older brother and not to the younger one."
"I have my reservations about the credibility of our polls, and don't forget the party supremos are appointed by the older brother. Has there been any poll which pits the two brothers' popularity against each other?"
"I guess not but what baffles me is that Punjab, the battle ground, is where PML-N had more seats than The Khan and instead of strengthening it through a powerful chief minister The Khan appointed a man who has no presence, no stature, no..."
"The Khan thinks he himself has the stature necessary to ensure his party's win in the next elections..."
"A view that Zardari sahib had in 2013 and PML-N had in 2018."
"Time will tell but going back to Donaldson his other six social sins were (i) Pleasure without conscience, (ii) Knowledge without character, (iii) Commerce without morality, (iv) Science without humanity, (v) Worship without sacrifice, and (vi) politics without principle."
"Hey Zardari sahib may not have too many principles but he sacrifices those black goats regularly...and Nawaz Sharif's commerce is without morality..."
"Don't be facetious, sacrifice doesn't mean of goats; I reckon The Khan has engaged in pleasure without conscience in the past, and only Fawad Chaudhary displays none of the seven social evils - his science is with humanity, the moon calendar is going to be out soon..."
"It will make the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee redundant and that would increase unemployment so ain't gonna happen."
"Hmmm."
