00:00 I hope that all political prisoners are released. People are raising questions about the mandate. Tribunals should decide soon. If there is a crooked foundation, the building will never be straight.
00:17 Mr. Muzamil, let's start with you. Do you think that the system is moving towards revenge?
00:25 The movement for justice has never been silent. We remember the time of the independence of Punjab.
00:34 And when Umar Safaraz refused to take the Aleph in Punjab, and when the speaker, Raja Ashraf, was ordered by the Lahore High Court to take the Aleph,
00:48 the governor refused to take the Aleph, this has been a pattern in Punjab and in the central government.
00:55 There have been violations in the path of transitional power.
00:58 Even today, the speaker should have done his work in half an hour.
01:02 When he was given 10 o'clock, he could have easily come at 10.30 or 11.00.
01:07 He could have taken the Aleph. All the people in Irqan, because he is an outgoing speaker now, they have no role in taking the Aleph and electing a new speaker.
01:18 But he kept on prolonging it and trying to create turmoil. In the end, the sense prevailed and he took the Aleph.
01:26 I thought that like Umar Safaraz, he would also say that he would not take the Aleph. And then the courts would have to intervene that if the outgoing speaker does not take the Aleph, then what will be done in the constitution?
01:38 Because the constitution has not perceived such things that there will be a party that will create such barriers in transitional power.
01:45 Like it was never thought that the governor would refuse to take the Aleph. It was also not thought that the president would refuse to take the Aleph from the Prime Minister.
01:54 So the constitution has not perceived such things that there will be a party that will create such barriers in transitional power.
02:02 Sir, but the constitution has not even thought that the opposition, who is possibly Mian Aslam Iqbal, should not be able to reach Iran.
02:09 The constitution has not even thought that when people from the opposition will come to take the Aleph, there will be such a big crowd outside the police station.
02:16 They will not be facilitated, but still there will be a fear. We are seeing a lot of first timers this time.
02:24 No, you are not seeing first timers. During the assembly meeting, security was very high in Punjab.
02:31 And you are not seeing first timers. And the second thing is that today there was a call for protest from the Tehreek-e-Insaf outside.
02:39 And to stop that protest, the presence of the police was necessary. Because when you had called for protest, if the police had been sitting at home,
02:48 then you ask where the police were on 9th May, why the police did not stop them. And if the police come to stop, then you ask why they came.
02:57 They had so much courage that they reached and they came and stood there. So there are arguments on both sides.
03:03 If they are present, then it is a question. And if they are not present, then it is a question.
03:09 But it is also true that Mian Aslam Iqbal Sahib should have come there when he had bail from the Peshawar High Court.
03:17 So he should have come there. Why did he not come? If he had come and they had been stopped, then we could have asked a question.
03:23 And if they will not come from home, then what is the question about their coming?
03:28 It is not written in the constitution that a special vehicle will be sent to pick them up.
03:33 Okay, Habib Akram Sahib, because today is the beginning of Mariam Sahiba's parliamentary politics.
03:39 So these small indicators, these small matters, because they have to set a tone for the next 3-4 years or 5 years.
03:46 We expect that the assemblies should be completed in this country. But what to do?
03:51 Because all our examples are a trauma for us that it does not happen.
03:56 But how did you interpret the tone that had to be set today?
04:02 Look, Maria, this tone is actually the climax of what has been happening in the last two years.
04:08 Especially when the central government went in April 2022 and then the Punjab government went, came and then went.
04:15 And then the assembly broke. So, from that onwards, the discriminatory treatment is being done from a special party.
04:23 And in this case, Pakistan is doing it in a fair manner. So this is the climax of what we have seen today.
04:29 And then especially in such an environment that when questions are being raised about the election,
04:33 the entire Pakistan, the media outside Pakistan, the people inside Pakistan are not satisfied with the outcome of this election.
04:41 They are not satisfied with the outcome because the results issued by the Election Commission,
04:46 many people think that they are not translating the demands of the people, but there are some issues that are involved in it.
04:54 So, in such an environment, when a very large party of Pakistan and now it is the single largest party,
05:01 then there is a question of the mandate of that party that the mandate it should have is not there and its mandate has been put in someone else's pocket.
05:13 So, of course, you cannot expect in Pakistan's politics that all the good kids will be here and good thoughts will be expressed for each other.
05:24 Or the process of the assembly will go smoothly. The second thing is that this is the tested wisdom of practice.
05:31 Pakistan Muslim League had invented it. You will remember that when the National Assembly was being held in 2018,
05:39 the first meeting was being held. In that first meeting, the opposition, which later became the government,
05:45 the workers of the Pakistan Muslim League, what did they do?
05:49 They created such an environment that it was impossible to give a speech for the then newly elected Prime Minister.
05:55 So, now it is time to cut the seeds that were planted.
06:00 Now, if anyone is understanding that we should see a smooth transition or a smooth assembly in Pakistan,
06:08 that we have done a big democratic exercise, so now there are outcomes.
06:13 One is that the democratic exercise is incomplete. There are about 200 seats on which questions are asked.
06:19 They are forced to join the National Assembly and the Parliamentary Assembly in Pakistan.
06:23 Now, the election commission is also playing a role.
06:29 When election tribunals are being formed, there are a lot of concerns and fears from them.
06:34 The road ahead of Pakistan's politics, I see a lot of ups and downs in it.
06:40 What is the solution to this ups and downs?
06:45 If you want to have a majority in the Assembly, then you should solve the issues of these special seats.
06:56 If you want to run the Assembly, you don't need the opposition.
06:59 Then there will be another cycle of seats.
07:01 The first thing is that these seats are not going to be given by the government.
07:11 They will be given in accordance with the law and the constitution.
07:14 The courts and the election commission are open for that.
07:18 If the government is to be angry that these seats are not going to be given, then that can be a different issue.
07:25 PM LN has challenged the courts to give these seats.
07:31 The courts and the election commission are open for that.
07:34 They think that there is a history of giving the list of special seats.
07:40 If PTI wanted to join the Sunni Tahaat Council, then they would have given the list in the name of Sunni Tahaat Council before the election.
07:48 Who stopped them?
07:50 Why didn't they give the list in the name of Sunni Tahaat Council?
07:53 There are no lists available to give the list in the name of Sunni Tahaat Council.
07:56 There is a discussion about the new list in the election act of 2023.
07:59 There is a discussion about the new list in the election act of 2023.
08:02 If the list is not given in accordance with the law, then it cannot be given.
08:08 If the list is given in accordance with the law, then it can be given.
08:11 There is no discussion about this.
08:14 There is a discussion about this.
08:16 The president of the Balochistan Nawami Party is present in the election act of 2019.
08:20 The president of the Balochistan Nawami Party is present in the election act of 2019.
08:24 The second point is that these are not political matters.
08:27 These are legal and legal.
