Snippets
The Pakistani misplaced rhetoric politicos feel it very cumbersome to jettison their deeply inbred sense of the ridiculous often expressed through their rhetoric-laden public discourse. Lately, the so-called intellectual wizard of PMLN Ahsan Iqbal was sternly checked by Cuban ambassador to Pakistan for terming his remarks as disrespectful towards his country. Ahsan Iqbal had said that Pakistan wanted to become a strong country for which it needed a strong economy and positioning with the global economy adding that he did not want Pakistan to turn into Cuba or North Korea. The Cuban very rightly took exception to this puerile remark and tweeted that fortunately, Minister Ahsan Iqbal’s disrespectful mention of Cuba in his press conference in Lahore does not represent and has nothing to do with Pakistanis’ true respect and deep affection for Cuba. The Misplaced rhetoric polite and humble tone of this acerbic response should be enough to remind Ahsan Iqbal to weigh his words before opening his mouth. The foolish earnestness of Ahsan Iqbal was widely criticised by journalists and activists on Twitter had also criticised the minister for his remarks, recalling Cuba’s support for Pakistan in tough times. It is expected that Ahsan Iqbal will not tread the damaging path that the former PM was well known for. TW
