He found the advice amusing!

There are no permanent friends or enemies in politics, they say. 

A ‘marshal’ who had been very hostile to the regime had reportedly begun showing relenting signs. Some cite as an example the tete-a-tete he had with ‘Kate’ the day before the vote taken on the 20A. 

Earlier on this day, ‘Kate’ got involved in a heated exchange with Panchaudha. So, some wondered whether their hush-hush chat had anything to do with that incident.

Their chat had ended with one of them offering the other the advice to ‘aim a telling blow at the snout’ (honda paarak hombata aninna). But only ‘marshal’ and ‘Kate’ know who was to be the victim of the blow.

‘Kate’ is said to have walked away laughing after getting this advice!
