PARTLY FACETIOUS: PM and CMs away from the country?

13 May, 2017

"Mian sahib is off to Beijing with a large entourage and I am extremely happy about it. I mean no traffic disturbances with VVIP movements and..."
"This time, the entourage includes chief ministers of Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa - you know belonging to parties that have failed to deliver and whose leaders are bad, bad people and..."
"Hey, you need to see the glass as half full - he is taking all the chief ministers this time and not just his brother and..."
"Mian sahib alone is two-in-one kind of man."
"Two-in-one as in merging his position as party leader with that of chief executive that enables him to use our tax money to distribute largesse..."
"Don't be silly, they all do that! I mean even The Khan instructs chief minister KPK to bring Pushtun Khanzadehs when he is having a jalsa and..."
"Ah, but the money for the jalsa comes from party funds I believe and besides the Khan relies on the independent media to give him coverage; Mian sahib announces allocation of millions of rupees for the people attending his jalsa and ensures its coverage on the state media which is funded by our tax money and gets the state news agency, again funded by our tax rupees, to write a detailed report on the jalsa..."
"But I hear the Ministry of Finance does not release funds that the Prime Minister commits to and I ask you would not the public be angry at being promised an allocation and not getting it then if no such promise was made in the first place? In any case when I said he is a two in one I meant that he is the chief executive of the country as well as the Foreign Minister and that's two in one."
"Your PML-N membership card needs to be confiscated immediately for saying that!"
"I stand by it... Dar sahib's delays in releasing funds hoping that Mian sahib's legendary short attention span..."
"Leave that guy alone, he has made his bed and so let him lie on it."
"Gone are the days when Dar sahib would make his own bed, and if you meant it figuratively then let me inform you that the bed being made is for people like you and me, Dar sahib's children, thank the good Lord, do not have money in this country, or if they do its probably less than 5 percent of their total wealth..."
"Let him be, anyway when I took exception to your stating that Mian sahib is two-in-one, I meant being the chief executive and the foreign minister are not the only two portfolios he holds."
"Three-in-one then...I think he holds the portfolio of Minister of Information Technology and before you say anything smart alecky, let me assure you that he does not have a twitter account not because he doesn't understand the technology but because he is very busy..."
"That card needs to be confiscated... a diehard nawala would say one in 190 million, the total population of this country at last count."
"I will be a diehard nawala when the money he promised the people of Chicha Watni is released..."
"You don't understand loyalty in politics, you will never get anywhere."
