"People are so unfair - since yesterday Nawaz Sharif is being severely criticized for getting angry as only a father can at his daughter being forced to attend court and defend herself, warning those who are complicit in this..."
"Yes I heard, and these critics are pointing out that Nawaz Sharif was complicit at best and initiator of cases against Benazir Bhutto at worst, who was younger than Maryam Nawaz is now, and had small children in tow, so I ask you, how is this criticism unfair?"
"You have ignored one major difference between Benazir Bhutto's case and Maryam Nawaz's."
"OK, granted that at that time Benazir Bhutto was the undisputed leader of one of two major parties, a leadership role Maryam Nawaz has yet to secure but..."
"There was another difference."
"Yes, BB was highly educated, had engaged in politics at all levels - from constituency politics to being the prime minister of the country while Maryam Nawaz is still struggling to launch her career which may seem extremely bright at present if the frequency of her public address alongside her father shown live on nearly all channels is taken into account but what with the verdict on rather serious cases against her still awaited and many party stalwarts refusing to accept the leadership in the presence of Shahbaz Sharif and..."
"True, but speaking of the unfairness of the charge against Nawaz Sharif the one irrefutable difference is that when Benazir Bhutto was being hounded her dad was not in this world while Nawaz Sharif is alive and well. And Nawaz Sharif could have saved his daughter from all this by accepting the guilty plea - many a father...."
"Oh shush, anyway I would like to point out one other difference between the two women: BB understood the difference between electables and non-electables, between turncoats who are needed to form a government but not when you are fighting for the leadership of the party while Maryam Nawaz has surrounded herself and daddy with non-electables and turncoats."
"Speaking of turncoats I was so disappointed with Daniyal Aziz, I mean he comes across as physically tough, and true he is into bullying people, a necessary prerequisite for being a member of Maryam Nawaz's media cell, but he got slapped on television and he just sat there! And by Naeemul Haq who appears to be half Daniyal's size..."
"Daniyal roared during the assembly session."
"Indeed he did, but amidst 50 to 60 PML-N members with the Speaker from his own party. I guess it just proves what I always say: bullies are basically cowards."
"And cowards die a thousand deaths."
"Ah I see you work for the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics - your data sir is off, way off, cowards die only hundreds of deaths."
"Don't be facetious."
