Bouncer versus bouncer

02 Sep, 2006

Imran Khan, a staunch opponent of President General Musharraf, faced embarrassment in the National Assembly when Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain, state minister for religious affairs, reminded the house of the cricketer-turned-politician's "relations" with Sita White.
Imran had made a speech critical of the government, but drew the state minister's ire when he said that Aamir Liaquat held a degree from an institution that had been registered five years after he had been awarded the degree.
Aamir Liaquat replied that his educational competence will only be determined if they who doubt my qualification come face-to-face for a debate with him. But he assured the house that after the Hudood Bill is passed, Sita White will also get justice, drawing a round of desk-thumping and laughter from the treasury members. He said Imran Khan would have to explain the nature of his relations with Sita White. The moral of the lesson, "If you level an allegation against some one, then be prepared and ready for a response also."
