00:00 The second government of PDM is going to be formed in 2024.
00:05 There are some clear indications of how this tenure will be for journalists.
00:09 Asatoor's case is very open in front of us.
00:12 Let's see what details are there in it and what actions have been taken so far.
00:16 If I tell you quickly, the disensation court of Islamabad has today
00:20 suspended Asatoor's further physical remand and sent him to jail for judicial remand.
00:27 Asatoor was arrested on 26th February for the harassment of the Supreme Court Judge.
00:32 He was arrested on charges of fraud against the Supreme Court
00:39 under the FIR, Prevention of Electronic Crime Act, under sections 9, 10 and 24.
00:43 Asatoor was given 5 fasts and 3 physical remands.
00:49 We have seen the process in the court regarding Asatoor.
00:53 When he was harassed by Imran Khan, the PDM's leadership went to his house to meet him.
00:59 They showed solidarity and told him that they have a clear position on freedom of expression.
01:05 This will not happen in his government.
01:07 But the situation is that when Asatoor is brought to the court,
01:11 the way he is pushed and thrown into the car,
01:15 he is held by his head.
01:17 This is a very shameful tradition.
01:19 He is not a terrorist or a militant.
01:22 He is a journalist.
01:23 We can disagree with him.
01:24 He is facing cases.
01:26 But pushing him and forcing him into the car is a very humiliating act.
01:32 Apart from Asatoor, we are also seeing Imran Riaz's case.
01:36 He is being prosecuted.
01:37 He has been charged with defamation.
01:39 He was arrested on 22nd February.
01:43 We have seen the various charges against him.
01:47 He has been charged with 34 charges, 161 charges, 136 charges, and 9 months of terrorism.
01:55 We are also seeing the farewell speeches of the Senate.
02:01 We saw that Senator Mushtaq Ahmed raised his voice against both of them.
02:06 Imran, release Riaz, Asatoor, and the journalists.
02:10 The media is your backbone.
02:14 The backbone of democracy, the backbone of constitutionality,
02:18 the backbone of fundamental rights.
02:20 Never compromise the freedom of the media,
02:24 or it will fall into the necks of the political prisoners.
02:27 The situation is very sad.
02:30 When they are in opposition, the voices of Asatoor and the critical voices of the journalists,
02:35 the hidden voices, are very much appreciated.
02:37 When they go to the government, if they are in jail,
02:40 they don't even talk about them.
02:41 We have not seen any people's party, PMLN, or JUIF talking about them.
02:47 Last time, when Imran Khan's government had all the opposition,
02:51 they went to his house to meet him.
02:53 Now we see that Tehreek-e-Insaaf is raising its voice against Asatoor.
02:57 So the tables keep turning in the opposition.
03:00 The voices that are liked by the government are not felt well.
03:03 The program is over.
03:04 Take care of your feedback.
