Endorsing Khan’s decisions

“I have to say I endorse nearly all The Khan’s decisions so far.”

“Nearly?”

“Well, I am from this country and very wary of Pakistanis going all out for someone or bust, as they say in Pompeo land…”

“So which of his decisions do you not support?”

“Some of his appointments though I accept he had to select from the pool available.”

“Right, however you may be able to assess the appointments better once implementation begins, so far the implementation date has been set for the sale of Prime Minister House cars… I heard they are in excess of 100 cars which the previous government claims was to transport foreign dignitaries, but I don’t understand why we need to provide cars to them at all, I don’t think that happens when our prime ministers visit foreign countries…”

“Nawaz Sharif used to go to visit family in England so that was not an official visit and the British government does not provide any cars to heads of government in any case I think…”

“OK, but our embassy in London used to be in attendance and provide numerous cars and…”

“As Parveen Rashid used to say, Nawaz Sharif as the prime minister was entitled to an official plane as well as the embassy staff to be in attendance while holidaying with his sons and…”

“You still haven’t sorted out your key board have you?! The name is Parvez Rashid and I have heard he is now a one man ballistic missile fired to contain the ambitions of Shahbaz Sharif and company and Maryam Nawaz with her dad’s blessing is making the guy say all sorts of embarrassing things…”

“I disagree, I reckon Shahbaz Sharif is a lot smarter than Parveen… sorry let me just refer to him as PR, today no one but no one is talking about Nawaz Sharif or his daughter and lets be honest Shahbaz Sharif didn’t really care when the opposition split and the PPP went its own way with respect to the presidential election as even a joint candidate was unlikely to win and…”

“I agree, Parvez Rashid is not the right man to let loose, he has limited if any influence in the party especially now with Maryam in jail, now if they could let loose Daniyal Aziz…”

“The guy who got slapped on television by the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant?”

“The very same, I mean Daniyal Aziz could sow seeds of discord in Shahbaz Sharif’s bid to be a functional president of the party because he is a man with connections.”

“What connections? Getting slapped is hardly a connection…”

“There is contact there my friend, and contact is influence.”

“Don’t be facetious.”
