Partly Facetious : Zardari hasn't said a word for ages

"One question, how are the supporters of Z A Bhutto and daughter Benazir referred to?"
Published April 1, 2020

"One question, how are the supporters of Z A Bhutto and daughter Benazir referred to?"
"Jiyalas and need I add more than a decade after Benazir Bhutto's assassination jiyalas continue to ensure the party gets reelected from Sindh benefiting the heirs of Father and Daughter."
"Are you indirectly referring to Zardari sahib, the PhD in politics, as the Holy Ghost?"
"Well, he has not said a single word for ages and..."
"Sounds a bit like Maryam Nawaz."
"Ha ha, that's right, but I hear Zardari sahib is still the man whose word is the last word, that can't be said about Maryam any more right!"
"Yeah, yeah, but what are Zardari sahib's supporters referred to? And I am defining supporters as those following his directives in letter and spirit that basically includes all PPP elected parliamentarians - in the national and provincial assemblies."
"Zardis, pale, and you can't deny they are not as charged as the jiyalas."
"Right and what are Bilawal's followers referred to?"
"That depends on who you ask. Sheikh Rashid would say billo rani but I reckon Bilawal has the capacity to transform Zardis into jiyalas again."
"Right and Nawaz Sharif, what are his supporters referred to?"
"I guess since the party has always had tiger as its election emblem...oooops..."
"Ooops, indeed, so why did Prime Minister Imran Khan want to establish a volunteer tiger force!"
"It's those dratted advisors, assistants, special advisors, special assistants who are sabotaging him every step of the way. The Khan in his latest speech also said Modi had apologized to his country for his ill advised lockdown but..."
"Oh that's on The Khan. He does not listen to the end of a speech now, and so he did not hear Modi say he apologized for the inconvenience but not for the decision to lock down the country."
"So another PM fund, just like Nawaz Sharif...see the Bhutto Zardaris would set up a Benazir Bhutto fund or Peoples Fund but not..."
"Hey The Buzz has set up an Insaaf Fund from our tax money..."
"Off with his head, that shows a Zardi..."
"Where do you think you are operating from? From within a nursery rhyme?"
"If the shoe fits..."
"Stop we are talking about 200 million people."
"Indeed."
