The Pakistani Spectator

Pir Sahib Pagara, Bhaij Pagara is country’s leading relic and he is nowadays only comes to the news when yet another thing of entertainment Sheikh Rashid Ahmad tulli of Rawalpindi comes running to the Kingri House and then both join their heads together, watch into the magic crystal ball, and then rattle the prediction for the government, opposition and the political figures who are in.

This makes news for the T.V channels who are ill at ease and finding it difficult to create any sensation as CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry hasn’t disturbed anything and opposition of PML(N) and the rest is dormant and the government is not really making any ripples. In this inactivity the predications and forecasts of the Pagara-Tulli duo is making headlines and one wonders about the standard of news in Pakistan.

Both Sheikh Rashid and Pir Pagara issue plethora of predictions at the start of every months  in their meeting and then part to reissue them at the start of next month. The combination is extremely funny and there are many similar things yet there is a very striking difference. Pir Pagara just cannot keep himself away from marrying again and again, while Sheikh Rashid is still “virgin”, I mean still unmarried.
