"How would you define a VIP?"
"A VIP stands for very important person."
"I know that but who comes in that category?"
"Its not who, that would make it individual based. A VIP, who is eligible for protocol, is determined by the office a person occupies at that moment in time."
"I see you have been listening to Chaudhry Nisar's speech of how his party will not support any one person but would support the system and..."
"You see a political thought behind my every statement."
"I guess but you know I just want to know how a VIP is defined?"
"I have just told you."
"Well I was on a street in Islamabad called by the rather grandiose title of Jamhooryet street (outside Radio Pakistan). It's a two-way street. Well a VIP with the number plate Islamabad 001 and his police escorts made it a one-way street."
"I guess 001 felt he needed to get to Constitution Avenue faster than any of you low lifes going to Attaturk Avenue."
"My taxes pay his salary, my taxes paid for his petrol and the police escort..."
"Hey calm down."
"What angered me more was that this man's entourage also set a wrong example for cars behind him."
"Haven't heard of 001 but have heard of 007."
"Don't be facetious."
"Well these guys are doing public business..."
"And en route disrupt the public."
"What do you suggest?"
"I don't mind stopping for three or four top executive offices, the Chief Justice, but not for federal ministers or indeed for senior bureaucrats. They get my tax money and..."
"Calm down. Now maybe you will believe the President when he states that he fears Jamhooryet is in danger!"
"Don't be facetious."
