Bilawal’s Coteries
By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Westridge, Rawalpindi 

 

It saddens me to watch some of the octogenarian and septuagenarian politicians - almost thrice the age of Bilawal - along with other party stalwarts posing to be listening so obediently and attentively, but probably in reality, helplessly, to his rambling, and, at times, ludicrous screeching hollers least befitting someone aspiring to lead the country. 

Why do they do so?  What do they expect at such a stage of their lives when some – nay -  most of them are already millionaires and some even billionaires?  Are they so avaricious that they willingly swallow such self-inflicted insults and injury to themselves in public?  Don’t they have any self-respect?  How do they face their families and children, one wonders?  And then they expect the respect they would have been worthy of!  Sorry, it won’t be there!!
