00:00 If someone gives a false news on YouTube, on social media,
00:04 like a news about his wife, which he says was not true,
00:08 if it is singled out, then everyone will come to support him and say that he has attacked freedom of the press.
00:15 Because there is no correctional mechanism, no mechanism to address the false news,
00:21 to apologize or to correct it.
00:26 The thing is, as Malik sir was saying,
00:30 by doing such remarks and such things against journalists,
00:35 I mean, in the guise of FIA notices, in the guise of such proceedings,
00:39 you are strangling the real journalists.
00:42 There are many types of people on social media,
00:45 in which real journalists are also present.
00:47 There are some people who are only on social media,
00:50 and there are many such things there, which are absolutely inappropriate.
00:54 But recently, we saw the notices of FIA,
00:57 that after the election of Balleh Nishan,
01:00 the various journalists were given notices.
01:02 See, if someone had said something inappropriate or extremely wrong about the judges of the Supreme Court,
01:08 but see, the target was journalists at the end of the day.
01:11 All the notices given were from all the journalists, from different newspapers,
01:15 or they were associated with TV channels, and they became the target.
01:20 Now see, this campaign, this campaign, is not happening from today.
01:24 The campaign against the judges is a reality.
01:26 What a terrible campaign was going on against the family of Bandyal sir.
01:28 Have you seen the meeting outside the Supreme Court?
01:30 I remember that the audit of the election case was going on,
01:33 and the meeting was going on outside the gate of the Supreme Court,
01:35 and the voices of those speeches were going outside the room of the Supreme Court, court number 1.
01:40 Now, these six judges who wrote the letter of Islamabad High Court,
01:43 when their letter came, what all things were not being said about them.
01:47 Now, Justice Atar Minalla, who raised very valid questions in the hearing that day,
01:52 and there were news about him in the full court hearing,
01:55 those news came on social media only.
01:57 In that too, you see, what kind of talks started about Justice Atar Minalla sir.
02:02 So, there are more criteria for one kind of people, there are more criteria for other people.
02:08 You can say anything against the former Chief Justice, Justice Umar Atta Bandyal,
02:12 you can say anything against the former Judge Muzahir Naqvi,
02:15 you can say anything against Jazul Ahsan, no problem.
02:18 You can say anything about the six sitting judges of Islamabad High Court,
02:21 in fact, you can say anything about the seven judges, no problem.
02:24 But, as soon as you go to the other side, the action will start against you.
02:28 Again, the name will be given that this is happening on social media.
02:31 But, the target is the journalists who work in our traditional media.
02:36 Because, I have seen all the notices,
02:38 I know many of my colleagues who cover the Supreme Court of Pakistan with me.
02:43 Sorry, I mean, who cover different beats.
02:47 Obviously, when a big decision like this comes,
02:49 the journalist expresses his opinion on it, on social media, in the news programs.
02:54 But, to express an opinion, there are different facts which are wrong, Hassan.
02:57 Sometimes, there are facts which you have claimed, but you cannot back them,
03:00 you cannot prove them either.
03:02 But, you say that in my opinion, if someone challenges you that this news is not right,
03:07 this detail is not right, then many times, factually, wrong things are also done.
03:12 There is no doubt that the level of journalism has fallen in social media.
03:16 Because, we do not check again.
03:19 Once a news, many times, it is used deliberately, it is malafide.
03:26 But, there is one thing, if someone says something wrong about the Supreme Court,
03:30 then there is a PR office, a 19th grade officer, and people are under him.
03:35 They should contact that journalist and deny it.
03:39 Instead of this, the Chief Justice will give such observations in the open court.
03:44 And, this is apparently a planning, that after Eid, we are getting information that there is a crackdown,
03:50 or such things on journalists.
03:52 So, when the Chief Justice came to power,
03:54 we are seeing that these news are being run by some specific class,
03:58 that fake news should be terminated, some law should be done, a crackdown should be made.
04:03 Now, see, in the case of Asatoor, the FIR that you have filed,
04:07 in front of the Supreme Court, the Attorney General himself admits that the FIR is false,
04:11 that section is wrong.
04:13 So, if that is false, then this side is also false.
04:15 When the state institutions are also false, and fake news will be made, then what will happen?
04:20 I think, everyone will have to do their own investigation, then the matter will be made.
04:24 How will it be done? How to do your own investigation?
04:26 For example, if you do YouTube or Vlog, how will the check and balance be done?
04:31 Because, for example, if someone gives you false news, then what is the mechanism?
04:36 What is the criteria?
04:37 See, the person who has worked in traditional media, whether it is TV or newspaper,
04:42 he knows that there is an editorial policy as well.
04:44 For example, if I give false news, then my Bureau Chief will ask me,
04:47 my Director News will ask me, my CNN Head will ask me.
04:51 It is possible that my beard will be changed, I will be given a show cause notice,
04:54 it is possible that I will be fired, it depends on the situation.
04:57 When I go on social media, I will do Vlog or I will make a comment in the form of a tweet,
05:02 then naturally I will take care of it, because my grooming or training is of that kind.
05:08 But, the one who has started with social media, I think we need a little grooming there,
05:14 self accountability, we need to do this ourselves.
05:17 Because, you see, if you do this, we have seen so far, as I said earlier,
05:22 that in the name of that campaign, there are a lot of wrong things on social media.
05:26 There are extremely inappropriate things and all, because these are the social media wings of the Jamaats.
05:31 You see, it is neither the wing of the Supreme Court nor anyone else's wing,
05:33 it is the wing of the political Jamaats.
05:35 When a decision is made against them or it comes in the right, then they are active.
05:38 So, all of them will have to show responsibility, but I remember,
05:42 NA7510 was a very famous case when it came to the Supreme Court.
05:46 So, the first time I saw the trends on social media against the judges,
05:51 at that time, Umar-e-Tahab Bandyal was not the Chief Justice, but with his name,
05:56 an extremely inappropriate word was written and a trend was run,
05:59 and on the third day, the decision came in the right of the same Jamaat,
06:01 which had run this trend.
06:03 After that, when in the era of Bandyal, this decision of no confidence came against PTI,
06:08 then he became a hero.
06:10 Then when Rubez Ilai's order to make him the CM came, then he became zero.
06:14 Then when he said that Article 9, which says that elections should be held in 90 days,
06:18 then he became zero.
06:19 So, the day the decision comes in our favor, it becomes the judge's or the official's decision.
06:24 The day the people of the political party think that this is not right for us,
06:28 then they start opposing it.
06:31 So, I think, the political parties have a lot of responsibility.
06:34 The first thing is that we have to end such people from the political parties,
06:40 I am using the word 'Khatma' because some politicians use such language in their media talks,
06:46 in their TV talk shows, that their workers use such language.
06:51 To incite.
06:52 To incite.
06:53 Although, in every political party, there are great politicians who talk with great arguments,
06:59 who can be seen in PTI, in People's Party, in Noon League, in MQM.
07:05 But, similarly, in all these political parties, there are some people who talk in a very inappropriate way.
07:10 You often see strange comments about women in the parliament floor.
07:13 So, do you think that the political parties are responsible for this?
07:17 Do you agree that all these talks are pushed by the political parties?
07:21 Is this organic or not? Or are these political parties making these trends?
07:26 No, I think it is the responsibility of the political parties.
07:28 And we see that when you are giving a news,
07:32 and it is against a political party, then the trolling against that journalist starts.
07:36 And we are seeing this on both sides.
07:38 We are seeing this in PTI and Noon League.
07:40 No one stops us from doing this.
07:43 Similarly, I think that institutions should also look into this.
07:47 Who made this Fifth Generation War?
07:52 Yes, that is right. Thank you both very much.
