Wazaif saved Arbab Rahim

This Dailytimes news has got to be the funniest news of the week.

According to this report published on April 13th, Former Sindh chief minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim said on Saturday that he would have supported sacked chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, in spite of President Pervez Musharraf’s resentment, had he considered the sacked justice better for Islam and the country. Talking to Geo TV, Rahim said that politics is a “dirty game” and the statements of his opponents could not go without comment despite Maulana Tariq Jameel advising him to keep silent. He denied that he had mistreated Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) workers during his tenure, saying that he had resolved the “canal issue” between Mumtaz Bhutto and slain PPP chairwoman Benazir Bhutto according to the wishes of the latter. On terming women as nahusat (jinx), he said he had meant it as a joke in light of a Hadith, adding that he did not know the real meaning of the word, as he was not well versed in Urdu. He said God had saved him from being hit by a shoe thrown at him from the visitors’ gallery in the Sindh Assembly because he had recited special tasbihat (hymns) and wazaif before going to the House.


Now thats what you call hilarious
