"I am looking forward to the caretaker set-up."
"Well, it's something that we must support, I mean the government, however badly run, has completed its term for the first time in history and..."
"Z. A. Bhutto also completed his first term, it was the second term that he did not complete."
"We know that unfortunate history but that is not why I am looking forward to the caretaker set-up."
"Let me take another guess... you reckon that the caretakers would be fewer in number and the federal lodges as well as the ministers enclave would be empty and we, the taxpayers of this country, would then save money on their utility bills as well as on their other expenses including the TA/DA we give them when they attend the national and provincial assemblies and..."
"I am not sure the ministers are going to vacate the enclave or the Federal Lodges would be without occupants."
"Isn't that a constitutional requirement?"
"No, that would come under the rules of business and rules, as you and I well know, are there to be broken by the rich and the influential. Besides don't the rules say they can leave within three months of losing their job?"
"I am not sure, but these guys knew when their term would end and so if they want to pat themselves on their backs for completing their term then they should also have made arrangements to vacate their houses on the day they are no longer in power."
"Should is not a word in a politician's lexicon."
"Oh dear, but anyway I am looking forward to the caretaker set-up because I think the traffic jams due to VIP movement that we have all been subjected to would end. And I would urge the police of all areas including Islamabad to abandon the container culture that Rehman Malik so loved and..."
"In your dreams - they would continue doing the same thing unless the caretaker takers come up with alternate orders."
"Well, if its Hafeez Sheikh then nothing will change, he has taken an oath to obey and..."
"Not likely, the PML (N) will not accept him I know from sources."
