Decoding Mr. President (Mr. Thangminlen Kipgen, Pres KSOD)

No matter how important or trivial, news item concerning the 'highest office' always grabs an 'eye-ball'. In a recent Whatsapp transcript between untraceable source(s) on one end and the 'Office of the President' on the other, that this writer chanced upon by sheer coincidence, has kept the best 'code-breakers' and 'deciphers' we have at our disposal into a tizzy.

Sources closed to the 'Red House' (functionally akin to the White House) who refused to be named told our reporters that the transcript is 'classified' and a 'rare treasure' and added that if ever the code is deciphered and made accessible to the public could, in the long run, prove to be fatal for the President himself. Red House legal experts however argued that it (transcript) can't be used as evidence against the President in a court of law. In all likelihood, charges against the President if ever pressed/ made appears to be unlikely. (Don't worry, I don't even get what it means).

Few hours in the wake of the 'rare discovery' & the unnecessary brouhaha it generated, oppositions confirmed 'skeletons' would be tumbling out of the closet hence forth. One sleuth handling the Investigating Agency that keeps a tab on the President's movement ever since he assumed office last spring said "it's very unfortunate" and went on to add "what transpired behind close doors of the Red House should not, under any circumstances, be made public and it is in the best interest of the print and electronic media to let 'the best kept secrets' what it primarily ought to be".

Following these untoward development, Mr. President addressed the 'Press Conference' held at B'putra Mess this morning and clarified the news doing the round over his alleged hands in this whole madness, "everything has been blown out of proportion" he was quoted as saying. He also stated that "he find it personally amusing to see this 'piece of crap' (news) everywhere and the furore it generated completely unnecessary".

For the first time, Mr. President faces the criticism upfront and went a step further telling the anxious reporters that "he was, in a candid Whatsapp chat, lavishing his praises upon three ladies viz Lyna MisaoNeiboi Sitlhouand D Cecilia Haokip dressing up 'hindustani' for Ganga Hostel Nite and giving some fashion tips and nothing beyond that". He lamented the fact that in his pursuit to cater privacy to the masses he had to resort to his own privacy being infiltrated.

This revelation proved to be genuine the 'code-breakers' confirmed. And now, the media and the agency handling this 'breaking news' are left 'red-faced' for this mediocrity. Spokesperson of the President said "the President has undivided attention for both the sexes; the fairer sex has long been neglected and prejudiced. The President's attention in this aspect is a small step in the right direction toward the upliftment of the status of women" he added. He also further stated that "First lady, who ever she'll be, has a role in this new found interest of Mr. President'.

This reports, in hindsight, time and again proved that news reporters these days are daring and raring to go untether/berserk to scoop up such story as silly as these. On the other hand, criticism were pouring in from all quarters saying in 'one voice' that it was a publicity stunt on the part of the Office of the President to put the beleaguered 'head of the state' into the limelight.

This 'crap writer' tenders an apology to CH family for writing this report which could have been ignored right away but for the sake of 'something is better than nothing' and for 'news sake' he sincerely felt it his duty to disappoint you once again with this long 'piece of crap' like it was in CH heyday…..
