"Why did Gilani take Rehman Malik to Mohali? Was it to ensure that the team, incensed at his ill advised remarks, would be further incensed?"
"They say being incensed releases adrenaline and that is going to ensure that our team will play the best ever."
"Or the anger could ensure that they make mistakes. I mean isn't that the more normal outcome of being angry?"
"Hey, this is Pakistan and you are talking of Pakistanis! Nothing normal happens here."
"Whatever do you mean?"
"You have a President who has complete control over all executive decisions and yet he comes to the joint sitting of parliament and says 'my head bows in gratitude before Allah, for giving me the strength to give up powers that had been usurped by dictators'."
"Gratitude before Allah?"
"Melodramatic that but you and I know that's not true. And if you and I know surely Allah knows too. Then we have the Prime Minister referring to clean government and seriously do you really think he doesn't know about the deal his wife made with a state owned bank, where she did not even pay one third of what she borrowed, and his son's massive increase in assets post-Gilani as PM ...allegedly because his dad sold him land at throw away prices..."
"Hey going back to taking Rehman Malik to Mohali to see the match maybe he was invited because the Prime Minister took some MQM MNAs as well and you know the grass root Zardis can't really talk to MQM..."
"Why don't you say like it is? The Prime Minister took Malik because Malik wanted to go."
"That by itself wouldn't have gotten Malik the invite?"
"Well, the President must have directed the Prime Minister...."
"Yep, that would get the invite."
"But you know to be fair to Malik he has talked to Afridi and probably told him he was not reportedly accurately."
"That I can believe - Malik has a history of saying something on the electronic media and then denying it without batting an eye."
"He bats an eye, though he just doesn't bat."
"I see."
