"We are not asking for the moon, just for equal treatment. Shahbaz Sharif entered the storybooks with his celebrated remarks that since the PML-N and the Taliban shared the same philosophy – reverence for Islam – Punjab should not be targeted. And for the last three years or more Punjab was spared... Be that as it may, with the strategic winds blowing in your favour, and the Pakistani state having lost whatever appetite it may have had for hard decisions, all we ask for is a respite. In this respite, trust us, we’ll call an all-parties conference, something at which we’ve become rather good over the years. When in doubt or beset by nameless fears, summon all the usual suspects, bearded and non-bearded, ghazis of the spoken word...for some of the most energy-sapping exercises in rhetoric known to the planet."
