Partly Facetious : That reminds me of MPS

"I would sincerely request Prime Minister Khan to become my ambassador."
Published February 6, 2020

"I would sincerely request Prime Minister Khan to become my ambassador."

"Are you from occupied Jammu & Kashmir cause The Khan has already said he would be their ambassador, and he has gone against his own grain namely not to travel abroad till there was some money in the kitty to fight the Kashmiri cause and..."

"I thought the Kashmir issue has been outturned by not only the Coronavirus but also the Indians seem to not be focusing on the plight of the Kashmiri people but on the citizenship amendment act and..."

"Outturned? That reminds me of the monetary policy statement (MPS) claiming that recent inflation outturns have been on the high side and frankly I don't know what it means."

"That's a word that our brown sahibs know well, and need I add outturn as per the Cambridge dictionary means the actual rate of inflation compared to the expected rate."

"And what does it mean in the IMF dictionary?"

"The fault is not ours but that of someone else. The inflation outturn is due to food shocks, and the blame does not rest with Dr Hafeez Sheikh who has assured us that prices will come down soon and as he is a man of his word..."

"Indeed, so tell me are you a member of the mafia cause if you are The Khan ain't ever gonna be your Ambassador."

"Can you narrow it down - do you mean political mafia or the cartel mafia?"

"We have a stay order Competition Commission members anyway the political cartel nexus in Pakistan is strong and no government has been able to dislodge it."

"I thought no government has tried to dislodge it, The Khan has identified it seventeen months down the line and wait for his next step."

"How long should I wait?"

"Oh shush, and I will refer you back to Dr Hafeez Sheikh's statement, inflation will soon come down and..."

"The same guy who thought tomatoes were a dime a dozen."

"Don't be facetious; besides we have rupees and paisas..."

"Other than the electricity rate announced for industrialists - it's quoted in cents..."

"And is that being implemented or have they added plus surcharge, plus fuel adjustment, plus..."

"Get your narrative straight, it is no wonder that The Khan is going after all those with a flawed narrative."
