Partly Facetious: Why NS making phone calls?

01 Nov, 2012

"So now what?"
"I will have to revise my opinion about Nawaz Sharif."
"I know... can you imagine the PML (N) and the PPP got together to openly oppose the PTI candidate."
"Where was this?"
"For the forthcoming Supreme Court Bar Association elections 2012-13."
"Oh dear! So Imran Khan's allegations that the two major parties are really together is kinda strengthened."
"Absolutely."
"But that is not what I was referring to when I said I would have to revise my opinion about Nawaz Sharif."
"His foreign tours are more than the Foreign Minister's?"
"Well, he pays for that from his own pocket and I know where you are going with this but I think the Rs 35 lakh would not even be enough to pay for one of his foreign tours."
"I disagree - a first class ticket to the UK should be about four to five lakh rupees and his stay abroad is not at hotels but with PML (N) supporters or his own estate in the UK and Saudi Arabia and..."
"I was not referring to Sharif's foreign tours either!"
"I give up? What else has changed about him?"
"Well, he was on the phone with Raja Pervez Ashraf and Karzai and my question is since when did Nawaz Sharif abandon his preference for writing letters instead of calling people up."
"Since all the written agreements fell by the wayside."
"Don't be facetious."
"Not seriously besides he just called the Prime Minister to congratulate him on his first official Hajj..."
"Don't be facetious and let me ask you given our political roadmap today if you can't get even one official Hajj as a prime minister then what good is it to be selected as the prime minister."
"How many people did the prime minister take with him?"
"It doesn't matter, even if he took a planeload its OK....I don't mind my tax rupee going for a good cause, you know people seeking forgiveness for their past sins."
"Ah, the rental power projects and..."
"Oh man! Just let the poor guy enjoy his prime ministership for a couple of months more."
