Raising slogans
Our mole who was present at the late unlamented General Flower’s funeral in Rawalpindi noticed that General Bobby was also in the front line. Amongst the congregation were some enthusiastic supporters of the latter. They began to raise slogans in praise of Bob. A sober gent, also lined up for the funeral prayer, admonished the sloganeers and said, “this is a funeral, not a political meeting. Please desist from raising slogans”. Our mole says General Bob turned and smiled, nodding approvingly, at the gent who raised the objection. How refreshing! Hope Bob stays sane.
Well known secret
An exceptionally loyal min of The Man of Steel has been made to eat humble pie. And for what? For revealing the country’s most well known secret. Sources say it didn’t stop at the civvy spooks handing over taped recordings to prove collaboration between The Great Khan and the former head honcho of the Invisible Soldiers Inc. It’s said the spooks also gave evidence of monies going towards that toppling show last year. And let’s not talk about how the monies were gathered.
Public rebuke
Whatever one may think of the haste with which The Great Khan’s spouse jumped into the fray, she did not deserve the public rebuke she received from hubby a few days ago. Our mole says The Khan’s ire has been building up for some time. It’s rumoured that he was not keen on her interview to a leading TV channel, not to mention her own show and election campaigning. Matters came to a head when he took a few days off in Nathiagali with his sons – and received an earful on his spouse’s “vaulting ambition” and “entitlement”. This latter from friends, family and party cadres. So he did what he always does – another U-Turn and to hell with the consequences.
