“What do you think of Notification Maryam Nawaz (NMN) issuing a notification to provide free motorbikes to girls, and she has requested parents to trust their daughters and give them permission to drive them.”

“Atatürk, the father of modern Turkey, forced his daughters to serve in professions that till that time were considered to be the domain of men.”

“And that is relevant because?”

“Because it has to be by example. So NMN should give a motorbike to her own daughters…”

“From the scheme, or she has to buy it on the open market?”

“If they meet the eligibility criteria, then why not!”

“Yeah, anyway, her girls are driven around in Mercedes or BMW, top of the range series…”

“Are you referring to a Toshakhana car, by any chance – because that case against daddy has been thrown out the window.”

“Car window?”

“You are like a terrier, you never let go once you get your teeth into someone!”

“Anyway, NMN’s girls are not in politics, so why should they travel in motorbikes?”

“OK, then NMN should travel on a motorbike herself, and her motorcade should be on bikes as well – let the media capture her in a pose that no other woman in politics has had the guts to…”

“A motorbike ride does considerable damage to one’s hairstyle and clothes…”

“There are women in our country who travel by bike!”

“Right anyway I would suggest NMN wears the police uniform on the bike which would protect her hair.”

“I think she has thrown it away - how about if she gets another uniform, preferably the one worn by the chief of army staff - I mean if you are going to wear a uniform which you are not entitled to wear then why not wear one which is…”

“Hush, and I suggest let the colour of the motorbike be orange, the same colour as the bus service that Uncle launched?”

“You know she never wears orange cause it doesn’t suit her. I never had you pegged as a Shehbaz Sharif loyalist!”

“Live and learn, my friend.”
