00:00 Headlines of his journey. We will inform you about the results of the referendum. The Islamic Jamaat's Prime Minister has been announced to write a letter. He is with us to discuss this issue.

00:08 The President of the Islamic Jamaat of Karachi, Hafez Naeem. Hafez Naeem, thank you very much for your time.

00:13 A statement was given from your side that there should be elections on the old referendum and the new government should do the new referendum.

00:20 So, obviously, this will be discussed in the Karachi affairs as well.

00:25 It is exactly like that. And before that, Rana Sanawullah Sahib had said that we will not reveal the results of the referendum.

00:32 And he has said something that is beyond the law. Who are they to stop the process of the referendum?

00:37 The fact is that the referendum of 2017 was also conducted by the Lul League.

00:41 And unfortunately, they had an agreement with Karachi.

00:45 And it was a two-way deal. And as a result, the number of Karachi was told to be 1 crore 60 lakhs total.

00:51 Even then, we were about 3 crores.

00:55 Now, our number is 3.5 crores.

00:58 The problem is not only that our count is correct. The problem is that it affects the representation.

01:03 You are going to elect. If Karachi's count is 3.5 crores, then our seats in the National Assembly will be 35.

01:10 At the moment, there are 21.

01:11 And if this count is correct, then our seats in the Provincial Assembly will be 62 to 65.

01:16 Which is currently 44.

01:18 So you tell me that you are putting a finger on public opinion when you are not doing it right.

01:23 And instead of correcting the count, you are stopping its results.

01:26 But Hafiz sahib, whether it is the Muslim League or the Pakistan People's Party, the statements are coming in front of everyone.

01:32 After this, do you think that your demands will be heard?

01:35 There will be a hearing and the correct count of Karachi, according to you, the restrictions that are being imposed,

01:40 that should be first and then the elections. Do you think this will be possible?

01:44 Whether it is possible or not, it should be. We will raise our voice for it.

01:47 How will we leave our rights?

01:49 They say that as a result of this, there will be election delays.

01:51 So, did we delay it?

01:53 This issue was created after 2017.

01:56 So, how many years did it take?

01:58 It should have been re-due, right?

02:00 It was not re-due.

02:01 It was about opening a 5% block.

02:02 They notified.

02:04 It was notified by the PTI government.

02:07 At that time, MKUM was also included.

02:08 At that time, we objected that do not notify, otherwise its legal status will be lost.

02:12 This will be the reference.

02:14 But then it happened that after notifying, they said that we will complete the whole process within a year.

02:20 I said at that time that they are saying the wrong thing, they will not be able to do it.

02:23 And this happened.

02:24 It has been almost two years since the whole process started and the count has not been completed yet.

02:29 So, is this not our fault?

02:31 When the government of the Vifaq and the government of the Suba,

02:34 are beating us with Karachi, are doing injustice,

02:36 are thieving our democracy, then how can we accept it?

02:40 You do the correct count,

02:42 do the restrictions,

02:43 then do the election and test the whole process.

02:45 We have no objection.

02:47 You do it in two months.

02:48 If they say it is a legal issue, then do it legally.

02:50 You can do it whenever you want.

02:51 So, you are saying that for clean and transparent elections,

02:55 a new and correct count is necessary?

02:58 Absolutely.

02:59 To give the right to clean and transparent elections and to give the right to representation to the people of the whole of Pakistan,

03:05 Karachi is a mini Pakistan,

03:07 how can you take the rights of the people here?

03:09 To give the right, it is necessary that you do the correct count,

03:13 do the restrictions,

03:14 then do the election.

03:15 It will not work like this,

03:17 that you say that the election is near, you accept it.

03:19 We can accept the fake voter list,

03:21 fake restrictions,

03:22 fraud count,

03:24 you can make us accept it,

03:25 you can destroy it,

03:27 and the whole of Karachi runs,

03:28 the whole of Pakistan runs.

03:29 Tax is ours,

03:30 money is ours,

03:31 we run the whole system.

03:33 And you don't give us our representation.

03:35 So, Hafiz Sahib, if elections are held on the old count,

03:39 will the Jamaat-e-Islami take part in the elections?

03:43 Brother, it should be on the new count,

03:46 it should be according to the new count,

03:49 we are appealing to the Prime Minister for that,

03:51 and we will go everywhere.

03:53 And,

03:53 they should amend the law,

03:55 whatever their bylaws are,

03:57 and according to that, they should quickly do this process.

03:59 The interim set up has not come yet,

04:01 they should complete this process quickly.

04:03 We have no objection,

04:05 the elections should have been held on time

04:08 for the Punjab Assembly and the KP Assembly.

04:10 Then why didn't they do it?

04:11 So, whenever you want,

04:12 you have made this possibility,

04:14 the law, the constitution,

04:16 you can put it according to your will,

04:18 but where it is a matter of the will of the people,

04:20 where it is a matter of the representation of the people,

04:22 and when it comes to the Karachi issue,

04:23 then all of them become one.

04:25 So, this won't work.

04:26 Okay.

04:26 So, the demand is that first,

04:28 there should be a fair,

04:28 a man-to-man,

04:29 and a light ban.

04:29 And then, the elections should be held.

04:30 Hafiz Naeemur Rehman Sahib,

04:31 thank you for your time.
