00:00 Mr. Ittizaad, you have a very old relationship with him.
00:05 Did Imran Khan offer him to come?
00:08 Imran Khan used to offer Hari to come.
00:10 Not just now, but long time ago,
00:14 and even in open meetings,
00:17 Khan said that he wants Mr. Ittizaad to come.
00:22 And I also want him to come and join PTI.
00:25 He is a principled man. He has always been principled in politics.
00:30 I hope he will come.
00:34 If he doesn't come now, when will he come?
00:36 We hope he will come.
00:38 He is not 25-30 years old like me.
00:40 We hope he will come.
00:42 He is not 25-30 years old like me.
00:44 He is 40-50 years older.
00:46 If he comes, our workers supporters will be very happy.
00:50 We need moral support and they support us a lot.
00:53 Nothing like it.
00:55 But if he joins formally, it will be a happy moment.
00:59 Has Mr. Khosa become the senior Naib Sadar of the party?
01:01 No, he has not become the senior Naib Sadar yet.
01:03 He has not given any office yet.
01:05 I saw it during the press conference.
01:07 Someone said that he is the Naib Sadar and someone corrected it.
01:09 No, he is the senior Naib Sadar.
01:10 People say that.
01:12 But anyway, Mr. Khosa is not like that.
01:14 He will give any office later.
01:16 But for now, he has joined.
01:18 He has not been given any office?
01:20 No, he has not been given any office.
01:22 I wanted to ask about Mr. Shafqat Mahmood.
01:24 It was said that Salman Akram Raja wants to contest the elections instead of him.
01:28 Look, Salman Akram Raja is also contesting.
01:30 He is starting a campaign.
01:32 And so is Mr. Shafqat Mahmood.
01:34 But it has not been decided yet.
01:36 Both of them want to contest the elections?
01:38 No, who is contesting which election.
01:40 Sir, the nomination papers are two days away.
01:42 The instructions for all the nomination papers are that you file the nomination papers.
01:46 And then we will see exactly when and where the elections will take place.
01:50 When you take the nomination, don't you give the exact link for it?
01:53 No, we give the exact link.
01:55 One link, but we are giving it from different links.
01:57 So, what did you tell both of them?
01:59 That you should collect the nomination from one link or from different links?
02:01 No, it is their wish.
02:03 But we are telling everyone to collect the nomination forms.
02:05 And now the decisions are being made as to who will get the ticket from where.
02:08 You meet Mr. Khan a lot in jail.
02:10 Yes.
02:12 Who will not be taken back?
02:14 No, look, there are some people who are like this.
02:17 Some people are like this, some people are like that.
02:20 Some people are like this, some people are like that.
02:22 There are some people who are like this, and if you look at their behaviour,
02:25 they have separated us from their character and their words.
02:31 Otherwise, there is nothing final in politics.
02:34 And if you look at politics, then you should have some respect for it,
02:37 so that tomorrow also someone can interfere.
02:39 This is politics, you don't know.
02:41 Mr. Khan doesn't know.
02:43 You say good things, but there is nothing final.
02:47 Politics is the art of the possible.
02:49 Politics is not for Mr. Khan.
02:52 For him, it is black or white.
02:54 And his black and white is not permanent.
02:56 No, Mr. Khan thinks very well.
02:59 Look, there are many workers.
03:01 This is the quality of Mr. Khan.
03:03 Look at how many people joined him.
03:05 Today, I am sitting in front of you,
03:07 I am the chairman of his party.
03:09 Could anyone think?
03:11 You ask the rest of the political party.
03:13 Ask them if they give their son or daughter,
03:15 or even their son-in-law.
03:17 The son-in-law of a party has spent more than 20 years with me,
03:19 more than half my age, in a family.
03:21 They have not recognized him yet.
03:23 No one has recognized him.
03:25 Which son-in-law are you talking about?
03:27 There is one.
03:29 These people do not give outside their family.
03:31 This is only PTI.
03:33 Are you talking about Mr. Sabdar?
03:35 Who else?
03:37 He was the president of youth, he was a PTI.
03:39 He has not recognized him yet.
03:41 You are saying that he was in a wrong line.
03:43 I am saying that no one gives to anyone
03:45 except their son or daughter.
03:47 And then they have been sitting
03:49 in this party for 50 years.
03:51 You are saying that you cannot tell
03:53 who will not come back to the party.
03:55 Tell me, have you spoken to anyone?
03:57 No, we have not spoken to anyone.
03:59 I am talking about politicians.
04:01 Okay, with politicians also.
04:03 Look, the 14 parties
04:05 that are in the party,
04:07 the 14 parties that have formed the government,
04:09 whose caretaker set up
04:11 is also an extension of that,
04:13 we have not spoken to them.
04:15 If we have given any indication,
04:17 then they should definitely
04:19 keep coming for this purpose.
04:21 That there should be an election,
04:23 there should be free, fair and transparent.
04:25 How to take this forward,
04:27 how to implement it,
04:29 how to help in the Supreme Court
04:31 and how to make sure that yes,
04:33 the election should be free and fair.
04:35 I have repeatedly said that
04:37 we are not officially coming from your side.
04:39 Look, the way you talk,
04:41 you are saying that we are ready to do it.
04:43 It happens that the party
04:45 comes to an official communique
04:47 or a press conference and says
04:49 that today we are inviting
04:51 Muslim League Noon, People's Party,
04:53 JUIF etc. etc.
04:55 that we are ready to talk to them.
04:57 We want to have a discussion with them
04:59 for the implementation of the Muslim League,
05:01 level playing field etc.
05:03 Do you think that they will respond to this?
05:05 No, look at their way of doing things.
05:07 For instance, Maulana Prasad Rahman
05:09 has been saying from the first day
05:11 that the situation is not favourable
05:13 and they are trying to delay the election.
05:15 Nawaz Sharif has never said that the election should be free.
05:17 But regardless, we are talking about
05:19 political outreach, that you go there
05:21 and engage with them.
05:23 Yes, so we have engaged.
05:25 At this point, we have openly told everyone
05:27 that the election should be free, fair and transparent.
05:29 And we have not disagreed with anyone
05:31 who says that the election should be free.
05:33 The disagreement is that they should never
05:35 have made such a statement during the election.
05:37 We went to the Supreme Court three times,
05:39 then to the High Court seven times.
05:41 When the Supreme Court came,
05:43 what did the previous government do?
05:45 They made the Parliament a shield
05:47 against the Supreme Court and attacked it.
05:49 Whenever the Supreme Court gave orders,
05:51 they called the Parliament meeting
05:53 and sat there and made all the leaders
05:55 one after the other target the judges.
05:57 And this is the first time that a Parliament
05:59 has been used by the Supreme Court.
06:01 So what could have happened in such circumstances?
06:03 If we have sacrificed two governments,
06:05 we have sacrificed our government,
06:07 we have sacrificed with everyone.
06:09 How many people will you field?
06:11 We have to field people in every constituency.
06:13 And we will fight the election
06:15 from every constituency.
06:17 And we hope that our majority
06:19 will come in front of you.
06:21 I want to ask you to speak realistically with me.
06:23 No, realistically.
06:25 In how many circles did Mr. Yedda say
06:27 that someone has taken the nomination
06:29 and will be rejected?
06:31 I have heard two types of things.
06:33 When Mr. Niazi's video came
06:35 about not fighting the election
06:37 in 2024, he was also in custody.
06:39 If a person is of two types,
06:41 let's suppose he has taken the nomination
06:43 from some people,
06:45 then this is his misunderstanding.
06:47 That constituency will never be empty.
06:49 That is why there will be a PTI worker supporter
06:51 present there.
06:53 And when they are alerted,
06:55 the people will support them.
06:57 I wanted to say one more thing.
06:59 There is a video of Usman Dars's house.
07:01 The police's attitude towards you
07:03 in the last few months,
07:05 before this also, the video of
07:07 the house being demolished,
07:09 there is a video of his mother
07:11 in which her arm is being twisted.
07:13 And there is a child,
07:15 you can hear the conversation.
07:17 His mother is talking very politely
07:19 to him, saying, "Son, you are my child,
07:21 don't do this."
07:23 I think that the tweet
07:25 of "Well done Hassan"
07:27 by Maryam Nawaz,
07:29 she should also be a little careful
07:31 while engaging with women.
