You are entering BB country

Those who have access to the Internet got the news of the massive devaluation of the rupee at nine in the morning. By ten o' clock practically the whole country had heard about it. But our worthy Minister of State for Finance, a past master at presenting back-breaking budgets, was totally unaware of it, even at noon on the same day.

Surely this is the kind of thing that can happen only in BB's Pakistan. If she can choose people like him, no wonder the country is in such a sorry state.

At the very least, all these ministers and advisers should be made to repay the salaries and allowances that they have taken from the national exchequer.
