Partly Facetious : The 'experts' on Kashmir

20 Aug, 2019

"What is the similarity between Modi and Mushahid Hussain Syed?"
"Frankly, I can't think of anything other than their name starts with an M."
"Think a bit more carefully?"
"Well, they both reckon they are experts on how to deal with Kashmir."
"Ha ha, ha, that's funny - but you need to add another name to his list namely Maulana Fazlur Rehman and the latest recruit Fakhr Iman who really needs to work on his perennially bored expression..."
"But Modi is the power while his Pakistani counterparts are merely tail waggers..."
"Don't be facetious besides Modi may have done the biggest disservice to his country after his decision to unilaterally take away Kashmir's special status (an action that is ultra vires of the Indian constitution) and..."
"But if it works and he succeeds in withstanding domestic and international criticism then he would have cowed down Kashmiri sentiments for freedom for all times to come."
"Don't forget that the matter is also in the Indian courts, anyway Mushahid was interacting with the government on Kashmir without bothering to get an OK from his party leadership....so ultra vires of the political party he has played a see saw with - in and out, in and out......"
"Just one out, and two ins."
"So far."
"Yeah, so far and anyway be thankful Mushahid has resurfaced - he was visibly absent during the election of Speaker Senate and I haven't seen him lately defending the Family Sharif."
"And that shows Maryam Nawaz's flawed selection process - she accepts any individual's sycophancy to get a position, in Mushahid's case to retain his senatorship, for loyalty forever and..."
"Ha ha, ha. So what do you think?"
"I think the PML-N should send a show cause notice to Mushahid..."
"Well, he is off to jail..."
"I wasn't aware he is even under investigation."
"To plead his case with Nawaz Sharif and Daughter who are both in jail."
"Will they allow him to visit Maryam? I heard everyone around her including the jailers are women and..."
"Disguise..."
"With his moustache?"
"There are all sorts in this world and we Pakistanis accept all at face value right."
"Don't be facetious."
