Guess who went on a vacation. Our President, the beloved Asif Ali Zardari. First, he went to Paris, and borrowed a French Army helicopter for trip to his château. I hope he had some French wine and the scenery must be real great because he needs that. A President and his false-named prince needs to be pampered. Everyone should hush up as President is a father and a vacation with his children is due. He lost so much time in the jail and never had the time for a vacation until now when half of the Pakistan is flooded. So vacation it is. When Pakistan calls its President for help, they might get to hear the melody close to the following one.
Indeed hooray! Hooray for Hyatt Regency London to be the most frugal option for our President. Hooray for Lord Nazir Ahmed who declined to meet the President. Hooray for the Labour MP Khalid Mahmood who reminded that the trip is pointless but our little old President had a country to save as he was "protecting" national interest. As it is taught in business schools all over the world, an investor should always protect his interest, and we all know the 10% interest that Mr. Zardari has on basically anything interesting.
Wise is that son of our President. He plainly refused to launch his political career and became a pauper for the devastated people of Pakistan while the President was proclaimed a "King". President Zardari and his pals in UK thought that a party would be a great end to his vacation. They made plans and they made lists of people who should be invited. You know a King's Ball is not open for all and you have to be special to be invited. So, they booked a hall in Birmingham and made sure that the party starts fashionably late. But what's a party without a Cinderella moment.
Off came the shoes! The rest is pretty much history. If Mr. President is of sound mind - a story for another day, he should know by now that he has been shooed not by the British Government, or the Overseas Pakistani but from people inside his circle. As for the people like Qaira and Babar, they must be sleeping as it is a habit of PPP leadership to doze off whenever they feel like. The footage from PTV indeed shows that there was something fishy, and the crowd was lesser than expected. The Telegraph quoted a number of 1000. The whole PPP needs to wake up and smell the Java. The reality on ground has changed. The leadership is faulty and the communication inside the PPP is worse than ever. They need a new face and a new vision. It would be best if it came from someone mature and not young, especially the ones who have drunk photos on their Facebook account.
Later on TV, Sharmil Faroqi gave a statement that Prime Minister is the Chief Executive, and he was here. According to her, President Zardari gave all his powers to Prime Minister. However, she overlooked one tiny detail, President, unlike the norm, still runs the PPP and Prime Minister is a part of the party. So we still have the same thing in a new packaging.
Oh well, as I suggested PPP needs a new leadership quotient but if they are thinking, Bilawal as the next big thing. Then they should use the following song as their new hip anthem.
As for Mr. President, he had a trip to Europe with his boys, took a joy ride in French Army helicopter and in the end, an "admirer" gave him new shoes. Not a bad trip for Mr. Even with all the hush and the shoe going on, not a bad trip for the President and for the puppies. Hush hush, Durrani. Don't get carried away now.
