"Reminds me of how the West was won movie."
"I don't get you. I mean surely Imran's decision not to attend parliament till minus Nawaz Sharif formula is implemented is not how the West was won."
"Good heavens no, and in any case I think Imran was angered as the media criticised him for holidaying in Nathiagali during an All-Party Conference (APC) on Indian belligerence - be it in real terms or in the Indian imagination - and the atrocities in Kashmir..."
"But wasn't Nawaz Sharif holidaying in London when the Indians began ratcheting up pressure on Pakistan including border violations as well as claims of surgical strikes and he is after all our chief executive and his presence back home was sorely required at the time.

"Footage during the APC showed that the Prime Minister was violating the courts directives."
"Hey, back off; the courts did not direct that the APC not be held and..."
