00:00 Ms. Firdaus, let's talk about the situation in Punjab. Mr. Jagra mentioned it.
00:04 Today, especially the papers that were snatched from Munis Ilaahi's mother, I personally felt very sad to see that a mature woman is snatching her papers.
00:14 Anyway, the way the elections are going to be held, the mandate will be there, then there will be legitimacy. You guys are also going to fight the elections.
00:20 So, it would be better to go to the elections with some consistency and with that.
00:27 The first thing for us is that fighting the elections is the right of every Pakistani and the law and order of Pakistan protects this right.
00:38 Now, there are two things in it. One is that there is a preparatory, there is a legal, there is a criminal, and the state collusion and corruption associated with it, and all the perpetrators of 9th May, whatever you call them, are all a list that you have to see separately.
01:05 Now, the common man who has nothing to do with any kind of conspiracy or fanaticism, no one stops him and should not stop him.
01:16 If a preparatory or convicted person falls in all the lists I have made, then there is a rule of law for him.
01:27 If someone is being treated unfairly, then he has the right to go to a court and the courts are giving him justice.
01:38 My concern is that we politicians should not go so far in this whole environment that it becomes difficult to correct all these traditions.
01:48 I just have one wish and everyone should have it. Politicians should also have a political class.
01:54 On behalf of the Pakistan Party, I would like to say with the clarity of Mr. Jahangir Tareen that we will not end the tradition of feminism and yagya in any way.
02:17 Unfortunately, this is a thought that is created by the PTI, which is a mixture of corruption, corruption, and corruption.
02:25 Because we can have political differences, our statements can be different on the political platform, our policies can be different, but we have no personal grudges.
02:36 We have no personal grudges, but unfortunately, the environment has become such that the opponents are our enemies and we have targeted them.
02:49 Now this thought should also end because you know that when the elections are held in my circle, a lot of people vote against me.
02:59 And the one who is going to vote against me, when you come to a position, you are a common representative of everyone.
03:10 Your seat is a public custodian of his right. So there too, discrimination ends.
03:19 Then whether all your voters are there or not, they have a right on you.
03:24 And this is how we serve them. But this is your thing that no one ...
03:30 See, our government is not. We are not part of the government. We are not endorsing or supporting any such action.
03:38 We have to see how the Election Commission plays its role to ensure the rule of law.
03:46 And how the courts ensure the split trial.
03:51 And if a court decides against PTI, then they should also accept it.
03:58 Sir, this is the problem. Yesterday, when we got some relief from the court, we held a whole string of press conferences where the other people did not like the decisions.
04:09 Everyone likes their own decisions.
04:12 So, we saw that there were a lot of critical press conferences on the decisions that were made yesterday.
04:17 This is across the board. Everyone wants their own choice.
04:21 So Mr. Jagra, we will move a little further.
04:23 This is the biggest challenge for us and the media.
04:31 How to create parity and how to ensure the rule of law.
04:36 Unfortunately, where the people are split, the political parties are split, the media is also split.
04:43 There, too, the narrative of their own country exists and the narrative of their own country is promoted. This is also unfortunate.
04:50 Well, that is a democratic right. You can reject it with logic and your statement.
04:56 The discussion is that there are two different statements, they debate again.
04:59 You can reject it. But there should be a right to present every statement.
05:08 I think that you should reject it, trash it, puncture it, destroy the logic in it.
05:15 That is everyone's right. Mr. Jagra, I will move a little further.
05:17 Now, the problem is that you have two issues.
05:20 One is that there is no mark in the party and you have to file papers in the candidate.
05:25 So, this is a two-way challenge for you. Is there an option that the candidates of Tehreek-e-Insaf fight the elections independently?
05:32 This happened recently with PM LN, when his mark was taken.
05:37 Then he fought the elections independently in the Senate elections. Is this also a thought?
05:42 We have had a lot of problems in the last few months.
05:49 And I think there is one problem with the other side. And that is that the people are not agreeing.
05:56 And that is why there is so much desperation.
05:59 Look, if everything does not happen, then we will have to fight independently in the end.
06:07 I think there are options in between. And I think the court should do justice.
06:11 When Qazi Faiz Isa Sahib said that we will not allow anyone to derail the democracy.
06:19 In fact, it will be the good or bad luck of Umair Niazi that he becomes the first person in the history of Pakistan to be punished for derailing the democracy.
06:38 But on this standard, I am sure that the courts should look at the character of the Election Commission and the mark of PTI.
06:47 Because as they said, when the ROs cannot change after the election schedule, how can they change the mark?
06:54 This will be a big question mark of pre-poll rigging on the Election Commission.
07:00 And we know that the Election Commission is completely unilateral and professional.
07:06 It has not done anything wrong. According to the constitution, elections were held on the 9th day in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
07:14 The solution to that problem is not being found.
07:18 I do not know what they will do on the day of the election.
07:21 There are 12 crore voters. 6 crore will be added. 4.5 crore will be added for PTI.
07:27 Who will stop those 450 million people from voting?
