Well…….i had read this in the newspaper long time ago…today while cleaning my room (thts my favourite passtime as I am jobless these days ;-) ) I found it and I think this will give a good laugh. Just read on…..
Oxford-educated Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto’s clumsy speeches in urdu sprinkled with english words have become a good way to pep up party converstaions in Pakistan. Jokes and even videos are being circulated on the internet.
At the joint press conference with Nawaz Sharif on Monday night, Bhutto struggled to put her views to the media in urdu “kayee demands kubool kiye gaye hain, date of election diya gaya hai, emergency khatam ki gayi hai, emergency khatam karne ka date diya gaya hai……..yeh bahut significant acceptance hai” she said.
Cross-dressing TV host Ali Saleem, famous for mimicking Bhutto, plays the former PM in the video.
Though Saleem’s “hum courage nahi loosenge” and “promises fullfillange” are exaggerated examples of urdu.
But it isnt just Bhutto who is being accused of mauling Urdu. President Musharaff is also believed to be a sinner. Musharraf’s one liners especially from his speech after the imposition of emergency - “mera total control tha”. “Islamabad mein bahut extremist bharay hue hain” and “ extremism bahut extreme ho gaya hai” have been widely circulated.
