Partly Facetious: A city woman with a mind of her own

"The Buzz went off to Quetta dressed like The Khan and did a Khan there."
Published July 23, 2019

"The Buzz went off to Quetta dressed like The Khan and did a Khan there."
"I don't get it, granted that the guy reminds me of the song "I would lay me down" in his relations with The Khan but then look at the well established senior leaders of The Khan party as well as other parties - what is decreed by the Main Man goes..."
"Speaking of songs do you remember three times a lady..."
"And for your information let me inform you that three times a lady doesn't mean three wives, one after another, or three wives concurrently, or three ladies but the same lady being a lady three times over..."
"Oh dear, if that is not going to confuse people, I don't know what will. Anyway The Buzz says he has set aside public money meant for Punjab for a cardiology hospital in Quetta and..."
"And why does that remind you of The Khan? As you and I know The Khan collects donations for his cancer hospitals in his mother's name and he doesn't use public money for the purpose. Besides money meant for Punjab should be spent on Punjab. What about the lack of hospitals in south of Punjab! Why doesn't The Buzz..."
"You know one can see a lot of women in the south of Punjab, in Quetta I couldn't see a single woman around The Buzz and..."
"See that's where the Sharif's Punjab strategy is so wrong. All they need to do to tackle The Buzz is to let loose some women and Humza Sharif as the opposition leader should be replaced with...with...some woman."
"Has to remain in the family, so how about Shahbaz Sharif's wife?"
"Nusrat Shahbaz has kept away from politics and..."
"I meant Tehmina Durrani...she is a city woman with a mind of her own and that's the sort that intimidates The Buzz..."
"Ah, that would be difficult. I mean if the Junior Sharifs are not happy with Maryam Nawaz then I tell you the opposition to Tehmina Durrani talking over as the opposition leader in Punjab would be fraught with discord within the Shahbaz Sharif clan and..."
"How about a daughter, then?"
"None of his daughters are into politics either and besides that would strengthen Maryam Nawaz perhaps and that's a no, no."
"So what do you reckon?"
"Same o same o!"
