Partly Facetious : The table would have to be extremely large

19 Jul, 2019

"One victory over so many, many defeats, we should savour it, and I mean the Yadav decision by the international court." "Indeed, though the defeats are too many - the billions of dollars that we would have to pay due to losing cases in the international arbitration court and I am referring to Reqo Dik and rental power project, then there was the cricket defeat and Hafiz Saeed is back in jail, a standard normal activity when our incumbent prime minister is off to meet the US president..."
"Hey, you can't sweep everything under the table in less than a year..."
"The table would have to be extremely large for us to fit all our issues under it. I mean from the poorly managed institutions to rampant corruption in our state run departments and ministries to some serious issues with some members of our judiciary as evidenced from PML-N attacks on Judge Arshad Malik of the Accountability Court and counter attack by him and God bless Pakistan! The Federal Investigation Agency has ignored the allegations by the PML-N and instead acted on the Judge's affidavit and..."
"The government may not have acted on the PML-N allegations but hey the judiciary did. In any case you are boring with the same o same o. Let me assure you that The Khan has ordered a very large table to be constructed, it's about ten miles wide and fifty miles long and..."
"Granted that the size is probably what we require but then wouldn't that mean cutting down trees which would further degrade our environment..."
"The Khan has stopped the use of plastic shopping bags and his million trees or is it billion trees...."
"Ha ha, sounds like when he announced a cut in salary of his extremely large cabinet by ten percent and then proceeded to induct more people into the cabinet which more than makes up for the savings and..."
"Ha ha, that's funny. I mean his cabinet numbers far exceeds the previous two administrations and really he needs to cut the numbers down to size."
"He is bigger and better silly! That is the new Pakistan. And the reason: there are those who are loyalists and then there are those who come highly recommended that he has to give a cibet position to."
"Highly recommended?"
"Well, let's put it this way, the government is a minority government and he needs support from all and sundry to stay in power and..."
"I thought he said he says he would leave the office if there is a deal with the leadership of the two other main parties and..."
"That's the only issue that he has put his job on the line for, nothing else."
"You are being facetious."
