Partly Facetious: Zardari at Jati Umra

18 Sep, 2018

"I know one thing about Pakistani protocol - the person who is the last one to enter the venue is the one with the real power."
"Duh! That's kinda obvious. The Prime Minister enters a room and they have to shut the doors - it's for security reasons and he is the first to leave the venue, I mean you could have an emergency and you can't leave till the last one to enter leaves...."
"You are so very shallow - if I mention protocol do you really reckon I was referring to the obvious?"
"Wow, such hostility! I mean come on, we are not into politics or has that changed since yesterday!"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be hostile. Anyway, I am told that when Zardari sahib and Son with their high level entourage arrived at Nawaz Sharif's residence to condole the death of his wife the Brothers Sharif were present..."
"Right, the high-level entourage included Sherry Rehman, an inclusion that could have something to do with the entourage's expectation that Maryam Nawaz would be present but she wasn't initially, though she came later... Oooooh, I get what you meant now."
"Thank the good Lord. Anyway she came later though there are no photographs of her during this sad time for the family - except one with the party president Uncle Shahbaz..."
"If Nawaz Sharif was referred to as Bao Ji by the late Kulsoom Nawaz how was Shahbaz Sharif referred to? Not P..."
"Hey, back off, these are trying times for the family....you can plan on being facetious at a more appropriate time, not now...."
"Speaking of plans, our Prime Minister is preparing a master plan for Karachi and I would just like to ask him one question?"
"Why not just begin instead of doing what all former Sindh and federal governments did in the past, which incidentally the incumbent Sindh government continues to do: announce a plan and then not to implement it?"
"No, I wanted to know why none of our leaders have ever presented a mistress plan, I mean Zardari sahib is there because of his wife, Elder Sharif heeded his wife's sage advice, Maryam Nawaz is female and women, particularly wife number three, have played a very important role in The Khan becoming the Prime Minister so why not present mistress plan?"
"Yeah, they may have a better chance of being implemented."
