Partly Facetious : 'Twitter is not for the lazy...'

"The most active federal minister is Shah Mehmud Qureshi."
Published August 24, 2019

"The most active federal minister is Shah Mehmud Qureshi."
"That's by default, I mean the Kashmir issue not of Qureshi's making but of Modi's making, has put a lot of work on his table..."
"What about the 'lend us money' trips from euphemistically designated 'friendly countries' last year?"
"How would you define them? Unfriendly countries?!"
"Well no, but why not use the word employed by Western countries, allies!"
"When you say allies with respect to countries in the Middle East, given the current scale and extent of conflict there, it may raise issues of what we, perhaps, agreed to do in return. There is no free lunch after all..."
"Hey, The Khan's safe houses offer free lunch and bed."
"Don't be facetious, that doesn't happen in international relations."
"OK, besides using the word allies may lead to government bashing in parliament by the opposition especially given that when in opposition The Khan had opposed engaging in adventurism in the Middle East."
"That's not a problem, the government suffers bashing by the opposition every time there is a session and don't forget the government has trained its own bashers who don't mince words when they attack members of the opposition..."
"I guess, anyway the claimants for being responsible for getting money from friendly countries are many."
"Well, The Khan claims that he got the money..."
"As head of government he can legitimately make that claim."
"Then there is the Chief of Army Staff who never made the claim but he visited the friendly countries less than a month before The Khan so I am convinced that he had a key role to play in that."
"The civilian and the military establishment are on the same page."
"OK, and one very lazy federal minister goes on twitter every time a friendly country's government disburses a loan though he has nothing to do with procuring the loan." "Twitter is not for the lazy, only for those who reckon the mainstream media is engaged in fake news."
"I stand corrected."
