After Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s episode in which he became a laughing stock in a federal cabinet meeting for wrongly reciting a verse from the Holy Quran, the cabinet members were shocked again on Sunday when Federal Minister for Food Security and Research Israrullah Zehri commenced his speech by saying that the cabinet was meeting on the “death anniversary” of Quaid-i-Azam. A source in the cabinet told Pakistan Today that when Zehri was given floor by the prime minister, he started his speech by saying that “it was laudable that the federal cabinet was meeting on the eve of Quaid-i-Azam’s ‘barsi’ (death anniversary).” “Some cabinet members started laughing while others expressed sorrow over Zehri’s knowledge about Pakistan and its founder,” the source said. He added that most of the ministers kept on flattering the premier in the agenda-less meeting by saying that it was the prime minister’s success to complete a century of cabinet meetings, which no previous head of government had done.
