The events that transpired in the parliament on March 23rd have etched an everlasting memory in the hearts & minds of everyone who witnessed it. Even though the debate on Wikileaks cables was to assume the focal point of the parliamentary proceedings, the government was able to maneuver the topicality of the discussion towards the opposition’s role in setting up the cash-for-votes sting operation.
The Prime Minister left the opposition speechless and the house up in roars (quite literally) when he used Shayari laced with criticism and sarcasm with utmost dexterity. While, acknowledging his disability with oratory skills the Prime Minister blitzkrieged the opposition with poignant responses.
The usage of Urdu couplets is not new to the house; however the post lunch session of parliament witnessed its timely use and one that befitted the situation. This only proves the government is strong handed in its approach to all controversies including the Wikileaks cables. This is a positive sign for the democratic republic and an indication of its political stability.
