Howls of protest
We’re hearing howls of protest from expatriate Pakistanis about an assistant director, passports, at one of our important foreign missions. The protests are coming specifically from women who allege that they are being harassed by the said gent. Apparently, the ladies have been going to the official, passports in hand, and asking for their legitimate rights. A verbatim quote from one such encounter:
“You’re beautiful but your husband is not. Why did you marry him? Come and see me after work, at such-and-such hotel, and I’ll sort out your passport.”
The lady called our mole and recorded her outrage. Will someone at the Foreign Office please make enquiries?
Backlash
A backlash is brewing in the City by The Sea, against the Lone Rangers’ pogrom against the Quaid-e-Qiwam and his party. It’s taking on dangerous ethnic implications and stories are doing the rounds about the Lone Rangers’ power having gone to their head. There are rumours of bribes and people being let off or nabbed on ability or failure to pay up. One credible source says a Pakistani-Australian doctor, inspired by the desire to serve humanity, came to a renowned medical facility earlier this year and began to work pro bono. The doctor belonged to Karachi’s majority ethnic community. A few months after he arrived, it transpired that a close relative of his had made a cash donation to the Quaid-e-Qiwam’s party. After this, the Pakistani-Australian doctor was picked up and whisked away. His colleagues at the medical facility were shocked and tried to locate his whereabouts but failed. The doctor disappeared. A few weeks ago, the doctor’s colleagues got a call from Australia. It was the doctor himself, who related his months-long tale of torture and detention, and his final escape from the Land of the Pure. He has vowed never to return.
