'80 pc MPs have been in jails': Minister Prisons'

LAHORE - On Friday at the Punjab Assembly, it was a Question-Hour on Jails, Labour and Human Resource Departments, but it sounded as an Urdu replay of the recently concluded US elections where Barack Obama was elected as president for ‘change’, while Punjab Minister for Prisons Ch Abdul Ghafoor profusely repeated word ‘change’ in reply to every question making an explicit mockery of Obama’s ‘We are for change’.

Members on both sides of the political divide were amused by minister’s rhetoric of ‘change’ and lavish praise of his leadership, which can be considered as his best performance so far on the PA floor whenever he gets a chance to speak since he became minister.

It seemed to be all pre-determined, though the well-thought out expressions got a confused distortion, and the minister was lost and miserably failed in putting words grammatically-sequenced to impart meanings.
