Extraordinary Rendition

Picture by Naeem A. Qureshi

I am very paleased to open this housing sakeem on behalf of the Prime Miniser Mran Khan. This is a huge contribution on behalf of the Pakstani dye-spora. This will give rise to a caardial and a condyoosive atmaasphere far industry. When the wheel af industry will turn, the fire in the kitchen of the poor will be lit.

We shall build a hundred thousand houses, which will give rise to a million businesses, which will create a billion jobs, which will generate a trillion dollars which we shall throw in the face of the IMF. Thus, we shall break the begging bowl, which we broke previously in 2013, in 2008, in 2002 and in 1857 when my Nani smashed it with her own hands and won the war against the British who were all RAA agents. They were infiltrating the PID and fighting a 2.5th generation (non-hybrid) war.

Out af this housing sakeem, a naya Salamabad will merge. Just like naya Pakstan has merged before that. This Salamabad will be vertical and nat horizantal, as some palitical aarphans and tricksters are claiming. It will have big big parks and hearty-culture.

It will have organic egg laying chickens, coming home to roost. It will have hoary buffalos courting youthful heifers, imbued with the passion to balance the current account deficit. They will Inshallah do this by achieving the national targets for dairy milk, butter and meat.

The new Islamabad will be close to Rawalpindi but not too close. We would like to quash the rumour that the PCB will move. No, it will continue to be in Lahore. The role of the chief selector and the coach will be embodied in the same person. This is because we believe in the unity and the continuity of command and the region is in turmoil. You may have heard of the recent incidence of the aircraft which has sent tremors through the body politic.

We shall build a hundred thousand houses, which will give rise to a million businesses, which will create a billion jobs, which will generate a trillion dollars which we shall throw in the face of the IMF.

How she got into the aircraft is still a mystery. It is entirely possible that it was a security lapse. We profoundly regret the distress it must have caused the nation and our thoughts are with the aggrieved anchor, may Allah heal his jaw and increase his ratings.

The new Salamabad will be a balm far the pains of the un-implied youth. It will be a youthopia af techna-loajy. It will dvelp in peepal, a digital mindset.

This will make them investor friendly. It will have no place for the political clowns who rattle on, mixing politics and religion. There should never be such a mixing, except at the Faizabad Interchange, where it is allowed on odd days of the week every three years. This is a prudent policy, to avoid global warming and to save the planet.

Let this be clear to all and sundry. Anyone who tries to take an oath on the Quran will face the full force of law. The prime minister will prostrate himself in Pakpattan and pray that those who mix religion and politics are struck by lightning. On his way back to the capital, he will complete the rosary a thousand times.

I now declare the New Salamabad open.
