Guard of honour
Our mole reports that soon after that heroic judge handed down the final judgment on the Guv’s Assassin, he got a message of solidarity from General Bobby. And the message wasn’t empty rhetoric. Apparently, Bob put his money where his mouth is. They say he sent the judge an armoured car and a posse of commandoes for his protection with the message that he was proud of the judge’s courage and that his protection would now be the mil’s responsibility. Finally, a true guard of honour. Bravo Bob!
Acclaimed & hailed
Rumour also has it that on The Man of Steel and General Bob’s recent sojourn to the Land of Sand, a disconcerting happening took place. Apparently, the two went to a mosque for prayer, with their coterie in attendance, and upon exiting the mosque, were assailed by acclamatory slogans from the assembled ex-pats. Most of the slogans, sources say, acclaimed and hailed General Bob – a fact not altogether pleasing for The Man of Steel.
On another tangent, Bob & Boys want to unleash Operation Clean-Up in Punjab too, versus the lashkars, jihadis etc. But The Man & Co have said a firm “no thanks, our police can handle it”. And so they should.
Storm in a teacup
Despite the Punjab government’s brave stance on the Women’s Bill, there are many naysayers from within and the fundos have succeeded in unleashing a storm in a teacup. First they took issue with the gutsy Law Min, RS of the big black moustache, and declared that he wanted to “compromise the dignity of men” by making them wear that dreaded bracelet, now a universal tracking device. RS urged them, in their closed door meeting, to point out “un-Islamic” elements in the Bill. At a loss, all the fundos could think of was the bracelet!
