Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi speaks to Arundhati Roy

In what is seen as a last ditch effort to buy peace, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi made a late night phone call to Indian Aunty National Arundhati Roy requesting her to criticize his regime as soon as possible.

“At around 4 am in the morning, auntyji received a call from someone claiming to be a Libyan dictator. The call lasted an hour and the person on the other side made a passionate plea requesting Roy to write multiple articles and issue statements condemning the Libyan ruler using harsh words. Roy said she will take a call on the issue today morning,” a source who stays in Roy’s house told us.

Analysts say that the Libyan leader's move may be inspired by Roy’s image in the international media. “Everyone knows she is a pain and likes to criticise everything under the sun. So anything she criticises gains instant legitimacy and sympathy so this might be a carefully calibrated move by the soon to be former dictator,” a senior analyst with a political magazine in Washington told Humor Unplugged.        

“She should have gotten married and then all this criticism would have been directed against her husband; but since that is not the case, people have to bear with the mood swings of this aunty national aunty. We don’t have a choice since all mainstream publications carry her opinion as if she is an expert. The only thing she is an expert on is poking her nose into other people’s business,” bollywood’s marital relations expert Mahesh Bhatt said.
