"The timing was kind of unfortunate."
"How come? I thought his timing was right after his elder son did a bad job of defending the reasons for having offshore accounts and I am referring specifically to his statement that he isn't going to talk about exact amounts borrowed, or invested in any venture, including real estate and we were expected to take his word for everything and the Sharif loyalists frothing at the mouth defending the offshore accounts were also very unconvincing..."
"True, but I thought the timing was off because the same evening the Iceland prime minister resigned after public opinion was expressed cogently that he must leave the high office and because the Prime Minister made the same flawed arguments as his elder son that the family was victimised but had financial acumen that was passed on from Mian Sharif to his grandsons. I mean the logic was as flawed as the banana eating Rehman Malik who saw the hand of RAW behind his name being on the same list..."
"But the judicial commission..."
"Is a joke - how many judicial commissions' recommendations have been binding, especially those headed by retired judges? And don't forget he ended his speech by saying those who have proof..."

"Yes, but you know the papers were shared with members of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, now I am not a member but those who were may have leaked..."
"Ha ha ha that's so typical of us as a nation - I mean we all love conspiracy theories..."
"Indeed we do, it does add spice to our rather dull life...no entertainment, and no protection at home or outside the home... the maulvis' vote is required in the National Assembly so Punjab government is appeasing them even though they have no seats in the provincial assembly and I am referring to the agreed amendments after the passage of the Punjab women protection bill... parks are the only place that can provide relief and ..."
"And there is no protection there either right?"
"Hmmm."
