We hear that a lady doctor in charge of treating the media was on the receiving end of much criticism at a recent cabinet meeting.
Cabinet members especially a VVIP could not understand why the media, especially the electronic chat show hosts, were so “hostile” towards the government. None of the cabinet members had a clue on why the media was constantly airing political and corruption scandals when they could be entertaining people with alternatives like saas bahu serials. None could understand why our lady doctor could not tackle such irritants. However, our doctor’s skills are not to be under estimated. She promptly replied, “How can I deal with a situation where the opposite party has such deep pockets?” She then went on to claim that every major chat show host was paid before the show was aired.
Several figures were mentioned and one of them was rupees “two and a half crores per show”. The name was also flashed. That shut up her critics and made everyone happy. Yes, it felt good that it was the opposition grease fund, not the government’s own performance that was responsible for all their problems.

Imran Khan is planning to commemorate The Quaid’s birthday with a jalsa at the founding father’s mausoleum in Karachi and it seems the Sindh government after initial reluctance has agreed to let him. The real issue before the Sindh government, we hear, is not the law and order in the province but the uneasy situation where two main leaders of the coalition would be out of the country, one in Dubai and the other at his permanent address in London.
Now how does that work out for Mian Nawaz Sharif? We hear he has plans to spend his birthday (which he incidentally shares with The Quaid and with The Christ) away in his second home, London.
