00:00 First of all, tell me, Dr. Sahiba, that every day you are being criticized,
00:06 a big question mark is being raised.
00:08 You must have seen a tweet by Ali Zahiri, and various political commentators are also saying the same thing,
00:14 that you are the B-team of the Muslim League Noon in Pakistan.
00:19 And in a different way, you are moving forward together with them.
00:23 You were with them earlier, when the government was changed in Punjab, when the movement was about respect,
00:30 you were with them, Noon League.
00:32 Even now, indirectly, yesterday or the day before yesterday, there was a story about a plane.
00:38 I don't know if you gave the plane or not.
00:40 My and Hassan Ayub's Tahiyyat Qaid, Qaid, please explain to Mr. Nawaz Sharif.
00:45 So, the question is that you are the B-team of the Muslim League Noon.
00:49 What is your response to this?
00:51 In the name of Allah, I am with you.
00:55 Mr. Khawar, first of all, thank you.
00:57 Look, all the criticisms and public perceptions that you are talking about,
01:08 I will only say that because here in Pakistan, in the past, it used to happen that politics was fixed.
01:18 And the players who were supposed to fix it,
01:22 they have now retired from the ground and are out of the political ground.
01:28 Now, because the same Jamaat will be seen active and active in the political arena,
01:37 which will be ready to play with the public in the political ground and to challenge the political Jamaats.
01:46 The perception that you discussed and the narrative that you built,
01:51 the reference of Ali Zadi,
01:53 I will only add up to this that our politics, which was in the last phase,
02:00 you saw that for the past two decades,
02:03 we have been victims of political upheaval, political revenge, political extremism,
02:12 and this kind of polarization.
02:16 The traditional politics that was in place,
02:20 our political traditions,
02:22 that the political poor are different from your narratives,
02:28 your platform is different from it,
02:31 but you have no personal hatred and enmity with it.
02:36 There is no personal fight and no war of murder.
02:40 So, the Pakistan Party believes that to remove the stagnation in politics and economy in Pakistan,
02:49 a movement is needed.
02:51 A nation should be gathered and stand on its own platforms on the political arena
02:59 and knock on the doors of the people.
03:02 We are an independent political Jamaat.
03:06 We have our own identity and mark.
03:10 And in the political arena,
03:12 as soon as the whistle is blown,
03:15 you will see that in every ring,
03:18 we will be on our own two feet,
03:21 we will be fighting the political enemies by removing the candidates of our Jamaat.
03:27 The rest of the things that you talked about the helicopter,
03:33 the helicopter has been outsourced to a company.
03:40 Anyone can take it from the company for commercial purposes.
03:44 Mr. Onchagi has given his explanation,
03:47 he has also given his explanation in the party.
03:50 So, I think that technically,
03:52 if going there was giving birth to a conspiracy,
03:57 then they should have gone to their own homes and fulfilled their personal rituals and duties.
04:04 Receiving them there as a face of the IPP was inappropriate.
04:11 So, they have realized that.
04:13 There has been a discussion on the party level.
04:16 And definitely, a perception was built from this,
04:20 which has harmed the party's statement.
04:23 But we have a lot of clarity from the current IPP chairman and the president of the IPP,
04:32 and from all our Central Executive Committees,
04:35 that our match in the political arena is with PMLN and other political parties.
04:43 And we, with the pro-Nawaz Sharif Bihaniya,
04:47 have to make sure that the people, in any case,
04:53 in this upcoming election,
04:55 you know the 18-month campaign,
04:58 the wounds that will be inflicted on the people,
05:03 why will we carry that baggage on our shoulders?
05:06 And the thing you were saying,
05:08 that this happened in the last election as well,
05:11 at that time, there was no IPP.
05:13 At that time, there was an independent group,
05:16 which was ready to go and make an alignment with anyone.
05:19 We have a platform and an existence,
05:22 so we have to make our own decisions.
