The Desi Gora Sahib
By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Westridge, Rawalpindi
Who is this desi gora sahib – Nazir – and what’s he doing in Pakistan? He is a British national and yet he is openly taking an overly active part in Pakistani politics! Does he still consider Pakistan to be a British colony that he is throwing his heavy weight around so authoritatively?
No doubt, British diplomacy was once rated par excellence the world over but little did we know that today too they could dupe a hapless nation through the charade of a Pakistani looking guy who in reality is a British peer and part and parcel of the Empire.
The British High Commission is requested to explain whose interest is Nazir serving in Pakistan, ours or theirs? If ours, would he be allowed to do so in the event of a conflict between us and the UK? And, if yours, does it not transgress diplomatic norms to do so, Your Excellency?
