The King-Size Cabinet

George Herbet once said that “hope is the poor man’s bread”. In luckless Pakistan this hope is all that people live for, hoping against hope for the miracle of a better tomorrow. However miracles do not come easy in this land of the pure made impure by military and civilian dictatorships alike.

That said a correction is necessary for miracles do happen in Pakistan. At least they do if you are Sardar Israrullah Zehri, Mir Hazar Khan Bijarani and Makhdoom Amin Fahim all giants amongst men no doubt as they were sworn into the king-sized cabinet of Prime Minister Gillani only a few days ago.

Let us begin with the heavyweight that is Makhdoom Amin Fahim our would-be PM as promised by our very truthful President. Remember too his credentials as Shaheed BB Shaheed Bhutto-Zardari Shaheed ’s right hand man.  That said this was not enough for Mr 10% who treated the nation to the first of his tricks in choosing Yousef Raza Gillani as the Prime Minister.

The resulting acrimony between Messrs Zardari and the Makhdoom was documented daily amidst claims and counter claims. Then it went all quiet for a long while like the dark night, only for the nation to wake up one day to hear the news that the Makhdoom has joined into the cabinet of his pal “Yousaf Saai”.

The miracle of Sardar Israrullah Zehri is even more impressive. This is the senator with honour who spoke in favour of the ‘ honour killing’ of women who were buried alive and later become lunch for animals. His reward is no less than his deserved entry into the cabinet of course, so the moral of the story is supporting human rights abuses will get you a plum ministry from Mr 10%.

The last miracle is probably the most damaging of them all as an uneducated jahil has taken over the key ministry of Education. His name is Mir Hazar Khan Bijarani and he has to his credit no less than his proud role as part of a jirga that passed judgement offering young girls for blood money in order to resolve a dispute.  The Chief Justice took notice of this vile decision only for it to be reversed by Mr 10%’s favourite Sindhi son, the one and only Dog(gar).

All three appointments must be lauded, and I guess ’Sunglasses Sherry’ Rehman is busy preparing to tell the world soon the merits of appointing such giants amongst men. No doubt Shaheed BB Shaheed Bhutto-Zardari wanted it this way and so I am compelled urge the nation to stop their carping and support these great men and all who sail in the cruise liner king-size cabinet of ‘Yousaf saai’.
