Partly Facetious: Mashood causes considerable controversy

04 Oct, 2018

"Rana Mashood..."
"Before you say anything about his latest press conference that has the army and the PML-N denying his claims of a rapprochement between the two while his party has called for an explanation..."
"And that my friend indicates to me that the army and the PML-N are on the same page."
"Don't be facetious; denials don't make for the same page."
"In my book, being on the same page means agreeing on a particular subject for example Asad Umar's supplementary budgetary measures with respect to increasing revenue indicates he is endorsing the PML-N's tax measures..."
"What about Dar claiming that he refused to allocate the amount the army wanted which is why he is being hounded..."
"Hey, if the army feels that it needs more money to carry out anti-terror operations, then I reckon the money should be made available because law and order is the necessary lubricant that ensures that the wheels of the economy run smoothly."
"Hey, here the wheels need replacement - too many punctures and the punctures are dealt with the local way - a new puncture is simply pasted onto an old puncture..."
"Pakistan's economic car is a very old jalopy and requires constant care, but surely we have enough to replace the tires if not the car."
"Not after Ishaq Dar's four year 16 hours per day output...you will be lucky if you can pay for a puncture."
"For the life of me I can't understand why Dar doesn't adjust his narrative to the case against him. All the court wants from him is to provide bank statements of his salary transferred into his account for services he claims he rendered to the UAE Sheikh between 2002 and 2008. Besides saying his claim that he worked for 16 hours a day when he was the finance minister is not backed by physical proof - if you sleep for as little as he claims then he should have been losing weight but as you and I both saw he gained weight and the proof is in the eyes - his eyes became mere slits as he gained weight and..."
"The weight maybe the cause of the cervical problem that he claims he is suffering from."
"Perhaps, but when he claims that the UK foreign office attested to his illness I am baffled - I mean there are no doctors in the UK foreign office are there!"
"Anyway, Ishaq Dar is on a one-page chapter - his page is stand-alone..."
"Don't be facetious."
