00:00 Pakistani politics is a political alliance.
00:03 Today, a big alliance has been established.
00:06 But, people's party is in a mood to fly solo on the ground of Wafaaq and Subah-e-Sindh.
00:11 It is too early to say that we are flying solo.
00:15 As the days of elections are near, it is possible that we will have a seat adjustment or alliance with a certain party.
00:23 But, as far as Subah-e-Sindh is concerned, we are very comfortable here.
00:28 The alliance that was established against us is a part of every election.
00:33 It is a referendum. We have tried to win it.
00:36 But, the most important people who were in that alliance are now joining the Pakistan People's Party.
00:42 We are a little more comfortable with the seats that we had to compete with.
00:48 I think that we need to fly solo in Sindh.
00:51 It is possible that we will have a discussion with other provinces of the country.
00:58 But, why do you think that today's alliance is unnatural?
01:02 If you look at the past of MQM, they have never been used to fighting elections with a party.
01:11 They say that they have Karachi and Hyderabad base.
01:14 We do not need anyone there. We will win by voting.
01:17 This is the first time that they are going to fight elections with a party in an alliance.
01:24 This proves that MQM does not consider itself worthy of going alone to win the elections.
01:32 On the other hand, there is PML-N.
01:35 In the past, the voting banks that PML-N has been in, they have been using anti-MQM pockets and anti-MQM voters.
01:45 If they go to the elections in an alliance with MQM, it will be difficult for the voters who have voted against MQM.
01:56 I think it is unnatural that they go to the elections with MQM.
02:00 PML-N and MQM need to find a support in Karachi and then go to the elections.
02:09 If they fight the elections alone, I think they will get a bad result.
02:14 Dr. Ambedkar was claiming that MQM will win 17-18 seats from the 22 seats of Karachi.
02:22 In 2013, MQM had a militant wing and a machine that hijacked the elections.
02:33 The elections were held in Urooj, and the 13 seats were won by MQM using traditional methods.
02:47 However, in 2018, the elections were held in a different way and the PTI was won by the Karachi City.
02:55 We have recent examples of elections in Karachi.
03:03 There was a local election recently and before that, there were elections held on the seats of the National Assembly.
03:09 In that, PML-N was not seen anywhere.
03:12 In the local elections, PML-N has won only 7 union committees and they were also in a coalition with the People's Party.
03:21 So, PML-N has not won a single UCB.
03:25 Although MQM has boycotted, but the seats from which MQM used to win 70,000, 80,000, 90,000 votes,
03:33 they have hardly won 10,000 or 15,000 votes in the local elections.
03:38 So, the situation of MQM and PML-N is very bad.
03:42 And now, everyone is seeing that the popularity of the People's Party has increased in Karachi.
03:47 We have 13 towns and the Mayor is with us.
03:51 And the elections that took place in Karachi two days ago,
03:54 the allegations that were put on us in the local elections that we used the resources of our Sindh government,
03:58 we used the police, we used the administration, and we won by a narrow margin,
04:02 the recent results have proved that we do not have a government,
04:06 we do not have police control, we do not have administration control,
04:09 but despite that, our candidates have won more votes in the local elections than in the previous elections.
04:14 So, this means that people are obviously praising the People's Party,
04:18 and people are responding to the work that we are doing in Karachi.
04:22 So, the communities that feel that they cannot fight alone against the People's Party,
04:27 they are making their alliances, they have the right to make them,
04:30 but I don't think that MQM and PML-N can give the People's Party a tough time.
