"I have decided to join PTI."

"PTI as in a Permanent Transparency International supporter? If so I would have you know that TI Pakistan chapter's response - a chapter that has to work in Pakistan by the way and has therefore to be much more careful in responding to government attacks relative to its head office - anyway I would have you know that TI international's response to Business Recorder query was that their assessment is based on multiple agencies including the World Bank...."

"The Khan should direct his Law Minister to file a defamation case against the international chapter of TI."

"As long as a summary is not required..."

"Don't be facetious, anyway when I said I was joining PTI I meant the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf party."

"Ah so better sense has prevailed, The Khan is an honest man, a man of integrity, while your previous party leader was not, I mean even within the party his source of money was not considered kosher...."

"Yeah, yeah but as a long term PTI member I want to ask a question. Should I join the Jehangir Tareen camp? Or the Shah Mehmud Qureshi camp?"

"Jehangir Tareen - Shahbaz Sharif did the greatest disservice to SMQ by saying he would be an acceptable chief executive after the minus one formula is applied."

"But SMQ is a pir, spiritual leader, and The Khan does defer to pirs."

"Not hereditary pirs, only those who are self made if you know what I mean."

"Are you being facetious?"

"Good heavens no, I am honestly suggesting to you to join the Tareen camp cause that camp is going places in future."

"Tareen has been barred from ever holding public office...."

"Anything is possible in this country - decisions can be reversed and even if they are not reversed convicts' quality of life can be elevated to rival that of the billionaires of the world...."

"Hmmm so Tareen it is."
