Imran Khan is always on the lookout for pirs, it seems. Recently, a friend of his, Aoun Chaudhry, has introduced him to a mystic lady, who goes by the name Pinky. Yes, it appears soothsayers don’t have sober names anymore.
In any case, the lady in question is herself a disciple of the pir in Pakpattan Shareef and it is claimed that she travelled to the Beheshti Darwaza for 200 kms, on foot!
Her dum services were sought for Mr Khan, to which she obliged. One hears that she is even setting up camp somewhere near Bani Gala for emergency dum services.

Shahbaz Sharif was all set to go to the urs of Hazrat Nizam-ud-din Aulia in Delhi, India. But that plan was scuttled when Prime Minister Modi came over here for a bit to celebrate our prime minister’s birthday. Still going over to India would have seemed like overkill.
Birthday diplomacy won over dargah diplomacy.
