Partly Facetious: The fact remains that she has done us all proud

01 Mar, 2012

"Sharmeen Obaid has really done us proud."
"You are still not over it."
"Nope, and while I admit that this is the second day running that I have said the same thing yet the fact remains that she has done us all proud."
"What about the Prime Minister's accelerated injection of development funds in a rather transparent attempt to win the forthcoming elections, what about the contempt of court case against the Prime Minister and the technical response filed by Ahsan, what about Babar Awan, sorry Doctor Babar Awan as his degree has not been challenged in court, anyway didn't he do us proud?"
"What did he do?"
"He's a lawyer and a politician so he doesn't do anything he merely says something and I am referring to his refusal to toe the line laid out by his arch rival Aitzaz Ahsan...and I don't know why that is surprising."
"The two gentlemen belong to the same party..."
"But the rise of one has necessarily implied the fall from grace of the other, and with Aitzaz Ahsan being selected to lead the contempt of court case against the Prime Minister..."
"I am not a lawyer but if the court is provided evidence that Dr Babar Awan was the man who advised the Prime Minister not to send the letter to Switzerland then his own contempt of court case may lead to his permanent disbarment and that's a no, no as far as he is concerned."
"I am not a lawyer either and so am not sure if Ahsan's motive was what you imply. Anyway what has certainly not done me proud is the sectarian murder of the 18 in Gilgit and our officialdom's reaction to the murder."
"I am not sure of the reaction..."
"The President took notice, and his factotum Rehman Malik gave the investigators 24 hours or was it 48 hours to complete their report."
"And who would read the report?"
"Whoever reads it, the fact remains that like in the past, there will be no one who would be taken to task for these heinous murders. What do you have to say to that?"
"Sharmeen Obaid has done us proud."
"I know where you are coming from."
