Gilani has been visited

So the latest news from the Prime Minister’s garden is that professional hunters have been called in to catch or takeout, if necessary, the elusive leopard that breached a tight cauldron of security and crossed over from the woods into the PM house.

The prime minster’s spokesman claimed ‘it was big animal,’ upon checking the CCTV footage of the cat.

Is the presence of the cat an omen? Numerous opinions have been voiced on the subject and while some believe it is a message to the government to stop encroaching upon forest land and preserve, others have called it a sign of the impending danger that looms upon Pakistan. Some have even argued that the leopard was trained by the agencies to take out someone who is no longer a ‘yes-man.’ Some far-fetched reports have even claimed the animal is nothing but a house cat that has been feeding on presidential-grade caviar.

Whatever the claims one thing is for sure, our top-level security has been caught cat-napping. Is Gilani getting any sleep?

    The so called CAT which passed Mr.Gilani’s house i think is just a co-incident and there is no need for such a fuss. It is a wild animal and killing it shows that now even wild animals are not safe in Pakistan

    Pakistan is ripe for political interference by national or global social-animals. The jungle rulers also tried their share by sending their dictator.
    Although, the intruder cat managed to enter the PM house, yet, there is a doubt that it was a real cat.
    Had it been a real tiger, it would have gone to the presidency instead.
    Instead, the scary cat was targetting a less-powerful position.

    I’m glad to note that leopards are still alive. As wildlife lover, it is heartening to note. We need to conserve our flora and fauna. Leopards are endangered species in Pakistan. Higher barbed wires can be used to stop the entrance of wild animals in PM’s house.

    I appeal to the leaders (in whatever capacity they may be e.g. even a school teacher) and the people of Pakistan to devote themeselves for development and stability of the nation. Individually, If we have a lot of wealth and positions, it will be meaningless/tastless without a free, soverign country.
    If we are self sustained, selfesteemed and soverign nation, then not only Mr. Gillani but also the whole nation could sleep peacefully without fear of any “Wild Cat” that me be a real one or trained by any one.

    HAHA! You made my day! And the rest of you commenting are also funny (Yahoodi Tiger!)

    Maybe the Chief Justice might issue a suo motu notice to the Leopard!

    DAWN should dedicate one web page to the craziest Pakistani conspiracy theories. They’re worth a lot of laughs.

    There is no doubt in the fact that political leaders belong to public and in certain ways they are public property but the scenario should change when they hold the honorable offices of the state. we should try to learn to give respect to our leaders and those who officially represent the state of Pakistan.
    The event of a wild cat having entered PM house garden should be inquired ,if there is any truth in it at all. Shouldnt it alarm us that the good house of PM is so unsecured that a wild animal can move into it anytime. I think the people responsible for the security of PM house should be questioned on this.

    How lovely. The cat must be saved not shot. We must preserve and develop it as a national forest, make it a safari. Let people come and shoot it with a camera – not a gun. I am so glad that a wild cat has been spotted. Just make sure that these breed of landlords do not see it as a Shikar opportunity. Killing a wild cat must be banned and the offender sent to jail for a minimum of 30 years.

    Can Mrs. Gillani please do a national service and leave Lahore while her husband is holding public office?
    There is a reason why we have a PM House – so that they live in a city where traffic can be managed.
    The current situation is just shameful.
    Those of you who havent seen, just visit Sector Y in Defence … the gaurds, the tents, the bunkers, and the guns outisde peoples homes all in protection of the Gillani household, a house allegedly ‘gifted’ to them from an ex-pat.

    Only a Big Cat can disrupt the Cat-Nap of Pakistani high ups.

    Gilani is surely getting lots of sleep.

    I am sure Prime Minister house is big to house Gilanis family, and public can be pardoned from the agony of road blocks every weekend when he comes to lahore.

    Coutries Elite Politicians offered the following Explanation for the leopard incident.

    Altaf Hussien: “This is agencies ploy to start a campaign against Muhajirs”

    Qazi Hussien: “Amreeka iss sazish kay peechay hai”

    Nawaz Sharif: “Chief Justice is the only authority to deal with this matter”

    Imran Khan: “Let me have a shot at it, im all for conservation”

    Zardari: “We will fight till each and every leopard is dead”

    I just hope the poor thing is captured alive and released in the dark rather than become a victim of some jahil gunman.

    lets suppose for a while its not just a natural phenonmena. We can then think of some scenarios like:

    1.which countrie’s national animal is leopard? :)

    2.it can’t b anything related to the miltants fighting in the country because they are very busy these days either taking care of themselves or the innocent people.

    3.it was a trained cat by a secret agency of a country which doesn’t like Pakistan.

    if it’s my personal opinion i would go with a combination of point #1 & #3. combine then see from all angles find any bit of evidence and then deduce.

    but in the end be positive this is nothing to worry about though it might be a clue to a later bigger “thing”, but for the time being we must focus on the circle of contol i.e. real problems of our country and try to solve them properly.

    Regards.

    Whatever you do please dont shoot the poor endangered animal. Already population explosion everywhere in Pakistan has brought most of the wildlife close to extinction. On a lighter note, please dont kill this rare animal we can always find another PM – there are 100s of contenders out there.

    Now, the wild animals are being used in the pakistani-politics. Is there any limit?
    Leopard might have to breach the security for a political dialogue.
    But, this time it’s the soft spoken personality like the PM himself, who has been under target. What a scare?
    Boudries are being eliminated by the hidden negative forces.
