So painfully true

I think the thread title should be "A tale of two resumes"

One has a D.Phil from Oxford University and the other by most accounts is not even a graduate......LOL

All we know is he went to a 2nd-rate cadet college (Pitaro).
Whether he passed any exams there or just did lafantergeeri is anybody's guess.

If he had studied at Cadet College Hasanabdal, the best cadet college in Pakistan by a long shot, it would have atleast meant something.

3

Nikema bhai do you have the resume of that other nikema (pun intended)....Gilani? I am now just itching to have a glance at his karnamay (being in PPP khushqismati se is probably one of them!!)

What is so special about him that he is our PM?

Re: A Bitter Truth

In a nutshell that’s Zardari well described! :k:] What a complete joke.

5

Re: A Bitter Truth

This just pisses me off. Why is our leader so pathetic??? :mad:

Highly embarrassing.

6

This thread should be sticky...

I urge all guppies/guppians to contribute generously in this thread :D

**sab dil khol kar apni bharaas nikalo* *

7

Its fine .. .for dil khol kar apni bharass nikalo, but whatever he is, he is elected President of Pakistan. Don't respect the guy what about Office of President ?

8

yaar aap to bura hee maan gaye :(......mera mutlab tha sab guftugoo k daairay mein reh kar apni apni bharaas nikalain

9

You know Nikema, you truly met the meaning of your nick today.

zardari is not my favorite, but this thread is touching bay-sharmi ki intiha.

Oh bhai Manmohan is "PM", and Zardari is "President".

At least be educated enough to pick the same posts. Compare Zardari to Manmohan's party leader aka Sonya. Then tell me the ex-air hostess has 100 time more qualifications than Zardari. Tell us yara.

Perhaps you meant to post a joke and others took it seriously.

If it was not a joke then the comparisons between the two countries should be performed in a controlled way.

Get the resume of all PMs of India and then compare them to BB, NS, ZAB etc etc. Get some normalization done and then reach a conclusion. Science kabhi parhi hay kya bhai sahib?

Re: A Bitter Truth

^^ Like you today for first time .. :D

11

^^ I meant to compare Zardari the chairman of PPP and Sonya the chairwoman of Congress I. Indian presidents are typically not politicians so it will be hard to do the comparison of that post.

12

burqa jee Nikema is right to compare the PM of India with Zardari because they are both calling the shots in their respective countries. In a parliamentary system of democracy all the powers are vested in the PM; sadly that is not the case yet in Pakistan because of the stubbornness of one man.

13

In India Pm is not calling the shots actually receiving the calls from party head, a bitter truth !

14

Under the current tense situation between the two counteries it is highly inappropriat to ponder on such issues.

You are welcome to post such matters true or false on "Jokes Forum"

factualy both counteries had their share of 'Perect Resumes & flukes' Zardari is an elected president. If you don't agree with his ameature ways then don't vote for him in the nxt election.

Besides, elite education is not critical if 'wisdom & knowledge' is required at the helm.

Forum MODs should adhere to the rules while policing the forums.

15

Raindance yaar thund rakho. Where our national interests are concerned trust me we shall back anyone regardless of whether or not we like them personally. But that should not stop us from having an open discussion or debate on anything

16

---------------------cvabn----------------------
I cannot accept your reasoning even if I want to.
The timing is not correct nor it is essential to have 'open discussions' when they are already discussed a plenty in the recent past. Enough!

However it would have been an 'ideal thread idea' to have resumes posted for other past or present personalities such as; Z.Bhutto, B.Butto, Dr. Mubashir, Indira Ghandi, Sanjay Ghandi, etc etc,,,,

I personaly don't like Pres Zaradri nor do I think that Pm M.Mohan any better in leading the nation. It is India's 'high' and Pakistan's 'low' .
In the past it was Pakistan's 'high' when Indians were struggling with BJP etc, this is quite normal any where.

17

If someone shows a picture as bad as above...its no beysahrmai....Be brave to look at comparisons between two...regardless of the technicality that you brought off PM vs President.

But thanks for your opinion, BTW, You dont have any mirrors in your home, do you????

Mods: can we have someone fix the thread with Bullets and bold tags...i tried but i m not Saleem Bhai...so gave up

All it means that to be a PM in India and be a Sikh (A sardar) a lot of credentials are needed.:wink:
