Meher Bukhari's Critical Analysis on Commissioner Rawalpindi's Allegations

Transcript

00:00 Did Commissioner Rawalpindi Liaquat Ali Chatha committed any crime by confessing his innocence?

00:06 This question becomes important when the Supreme Court, unable to take a sound decision,

00:11 takes action against the Election Commission Liaquat Ali Chatha

00:13 and a large political party stands against Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha's voice of conscience.

00:18 The Election Commission's stance is that the Commissioner of the Division is neither the DRO nor the RO or the Presiding Officer

00:26 nor does he have a direct role in the election process.

00:31 In fact, as per the Supreme Court, the Deputy Commissioner and the Assistant Deputy Commissioner

00:35 are working as the returning officers and the Deputy returning officers during the elections.

00:40 This is not a simple matter because in any division,

00:43 the Deputy Commissioner and the Assistant Commissioner report directly to the Commissioner

00:48 because he is their boss.

00:49 In any province, there is a Prime Minister, who is under the supervision of the Chief Secretary

00:53 and then he is in contact with the Commissioners of all the divisions.

00:57 And this is how the work of any province goes on.

01:00 The whole process goes on.

01:01 It is surprising, viewers, that without investigating any investigation or investigation,

01:04 the Nigran Punjab government, on the part of the returning officers of the Muslim League Noon,

01:06 the Election Commission Rawalpindi Division and the District Returning Officers,

01:11 has gone to night.

01:11 Commissioner Rawalpindi is refuting the allegations of Liaquat Ali Chatha.

01:15 At the moment, apart from the Muslim League Noon, Pakistan People's Party and MQM Pakistan,

01:19 there is a fierce protest against almost all the Mubayana Dhandli Jamaats.

01:22 They are on the streets.

01:23 [Reporter speaking in Urdu]

01:51 After the press conference, six District Returning Officers of Rawalpindi Division

01:55 have rejected and refuted the allegations of the Commissioner.

01:58 But the Justice Department has demanded the judicial commission to be made on the allegations of Commissioner Rawalpindi.

02:03 [Reporter speaking in Urdu]

02:05 The judicial inquiry should be conducted in the long term.

02:12 There should be independent judges.

02:14 And the people who have been named by Commissioner Rawalpindi should not be a part of this inquiry.

02:23 Along with the high-level investigations against Liaquat Ali Chatha,

02:27 the Government of Punjab has also instructed the IG Punjab to file a case on the serious protest.

02:33 And the Nigran Kabina of Punjab has also approved the filing of the case against Liaquat Ali Chatha.

02:38 In this case, the Election Act and the Zabta-e-Faujdari will be included in the case.

02:44 Despite the serious allegations of Dhandli, the Supreme Court is still silent on the notice.

02:49 However, the Islamabad High Court has approved the appeal of Shoaib Shaheen and Ali Bukhari

02:54 on the case of the Islamabad High Court.

02:56 They have confirmed the success of Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and Raja Khurram Nawaz.

03:04 Liaquat Ali Chatha is a man who was in depression.

03:09 He attempted suicide.

03:11 He is mentally healthy.
