Musharraf living above kebab shop in London?


Pakistan continues to be the favourite subject of spoof with writers, who now claim that former President Pervez Musharraf is "living above a kebab shop" in London and President Asif Ali Zardari has decided to take a "brief five-day break from his 360-day foreign tour".

A spoof on "how the mighty have fallen" gives details of Musharraf’s whereabouts. "…And now here he is in London slumming it above a…street kebab shop-cum-shisha bar...," goes the write-up on a humour website.

It states that Musharraf called a press conference "hastily" to tell the world about his new address.

The other 'breaking story' put out by Pakistan’s own version of thespoof.com states that in a "surprising move, the office of the Presidency announced that President Zardari will embark on an epic five-day domestic tour of the country, in attempt to reign in domestic donors and to find new ‘friends’ of Pakistan."

"President Zardari’s trip to Pakistan will take place in between his upcoming trips to Dubai and China," reads the story on themailatimes.com.

"During his five-day tour, President Zardari will spend most of the time at the President’s House, meeting important politicians and businessmen."

Zardari, according to the spoof, also tackled questions about "wasting millions of dollars on exuberant trips". "Toh, what’s the matter? I don’t need to be physically present to make important decisions." Advertisement
