"Jamshed Dasti, the erstwhile brash member of parliament, with the temerity to take on the ruling party..."
"Hey I was listening to Rana Sahib, the Punjab Home Minister, and he says that Dasti complained of pain in the heart and was provided a heart specialist - I mean it's not as if Dasti merits a visit to a UK heart specialist, and then complained of pain in the teeth and a dental specialist examined him and both gave him a clean bill of health..."
"Ha ha ha....clean bill of health indeed.....a bill for services rendered is never quite clean in this country...."
"Whatever do you mean?"
"The lawyers' Mian sahib and his family hired to represent them in the Panama case have charged heavy fees and I hear the economy is booming because they are spending the money in the country and not remitting it outside..."
"Don't be facetious....besides a lot of the lawyers that the First Family (FF) have benefited from the largesse of the FF when in power - some were appointed as attorney general of Pakistan, others the chief lawyer of Punjab, others have...."
"That's the way of the world...anyway talking of Dasti, the guy was in tears and..."
"I know one way he would no longer be subjected to torture."
"If you mean go down on his knees to Mian sahib and beg forgiveness then I have it on good authority that Mian sahib is not likely to grant him an audience, Mian sahib doesn't forgive and has a memory of an elephant...."
"No that is not what I meant."
"How about publicly recanting..."
"Nope, not that either."
"How about joining the First Daughter's media team - you know, be in the forefront defending the very man and his family that Dasti denigrated time and time again..."
"Don't be facetious. Give up? Yes? I would recommend Dasti to turn approver and later he can backtrack. See that way he can have his cake and eat it too."
"Now who is being facetious? What possible affidavit can Dasti give that Mian sahib and company would welcome him in their fold?"
"That he opened water on the instructions of The Khan and..."
"Ha ha."
