The politicians of Pakistan are incapable of saying anything without indulging in coloured phrases of rhetorical exaggeration. The pathetic grandiloquence of their speeches is invariably laced with barbs against their rivals, and the discerning listener is left with the impression that each one of them fancies himself as a Christ among the Pharisees. Opponents are projected as self-seeking ravenous parasites whose motives are summed up in the Biblical reprimand: “Woe unto you Pharisees, for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets!” Yet they all dwell in glass houses and cannot afford to throw stones.
