"The Prime Minister gave an iftar party for journalists on Thursday."
"So? It's not unusual and if you are going to say that the money would have been better spent in providing food packages for the flood affected in Sindh then please give the poor guy a break!"
"OK, I guess he has to enjoy life sometime like everyone else. But at the function he was asked a question about his son's alleged involvement in the NICL scam."
"I heard and the Prime Minister said three things. First that the rather expensive vehicle gifted to his son predated the Hajj scandal by one year."
"Far be it for me to challenge the Prime Minister of this country, but isn't it usual for the gift to predate the scam being unearthed.

"I see, so we allow our enemy's heirs to inherit from them."
"Absolutely."
