Takht Lahore
In case you didn’t know, the hectic parleying between The Man of Steel’s Talented Bro and Mr Bean, former Min of Int, and one of the few vocal naysayers from within, has to do with Takht Lahore. Mr Bean is known not only for his plain speaking but also for his spotless record as a public representative, and his intolerance of corruption has put him in the crosshairs many a time.
Our mole reports that the discussion with Mr Bean has to do with his terms for staying within The Man’s fold. He says he has been with the party for as long as anyone else, and deserves a shot at sitting on Takht Lahore, previously the sole preserve of The Brothers Sharifov. We hear Talented Bro, who has always been close to Mr Bean, is negotiating terms with him, and that one concession has been made. Which is that none of the second generation will ascend Takht Lahore, a demand echoed by The Boyz.
Short getaway
Now that The Man of Steel has left for London, we hear The Great Khan is also planning a short getaway to Her Majesty’s realm. His partisans are citing a few reasons: he’s taking some fellow travellers along so that they can plan their strategy in peace, if you know what we mean, without being overheard. Even the walls have ears in our Land of the Pure. Secondly, The Khan is hoping to raise some much-needed funds for the coming elections, from his wealthy expat donors. And most importantly, he’s going to try and placate his sons who’re peeved with him after his sudden, unannounced third nuptials. Our mole says when the boys heard of it, they rang up their dad for an explanation. Apparently, he said, “I’ll call you back”, and never did. There’s been no communication since, and it’s about time he made up with them.
