Kiya Sunni Ittehad Council ko Reserved Seats mil payengi? Experts Analysis
Transcript
00:00Today, there was a full court hearing in the Supreme Court.
00:03Will Tariq-e-Insaaf get reserve seats or not?
00:06There was a very interesting turn in that.
00:09The question is being asked that if a political party takes its electoral mark,
00:15is that party deprived of its fundamental rights?
00:19Listen to this.
00:21SIC applied in their name.
00:24If they made a mistake,
00:26that mistake was the duty of the Election Commission to correct it.
00:29And as an enlisted party,
00:32they showed the seats of Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaaf.
00:35Here, Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaaf had contested as a political party
00:39and it was entitled to its seats.
00:41If this happens, then your case is over.
00:44You're nobody. These seats belong to PTI.
00:46This is the matter of the people.
00:48The people cannot be disenfranchised in any way.
00:51Through these technicalities and knowledge,
00:54the people cannot take their rights.
00:56That is the spirit of Article 17.
00:59The people should not have suffered.
01:26I don't have a symbol, but I am not free. I am Tariq-e-Insaaf.
01:56The candidates will be considered independent.
02:00And the Election Commission decided that
02:03since the symbol has been taken from your community,
02:06you will be considered independent.
02:09And when the elections were held,
02:11the people who were elected,
02:13the Election Commission notified them as independent candidates.
02:18And gave them three days to join a party as independent candidates.
02:24And at that time, the thought was that
02:26I don't know what else will be the attack on PTI,
02:28what cases will be filed.
02:30So at that time, the consensus was that
02:33the Sunni Tahaat Council should be joined.
02:35There was no discrimination in that.
02:37There was no discrimination at all.
02:39But now, if the Supreme Court thinks that
02:41after the decision of the Election Commission...
02:43But Mr. Salman, is it possible that
02:45when you have joined the Sunni Tahaat Council,
02:48that Tariq-e-Insaaf is said to have the rights of the party,
02:51that's why they are members of Tariq-e-Insaaf,
02:53that's why Tariq-e-Insaaf should remain as a political party
02:56in the National Assembly and it should be given reserved seats.
02:59Can this U-turn be taken legally?
03:02This is not a U-turn.
03:04This was a right decision of the Election Commission.
03:07And this was a wrong decision,
03:10a wrong interpretation,
03:12a wrong law,
03:13because of which this had to be done.
03:15If the Supreme Court says that
03:17all this was wrong and
03:19our members had to take a step under this mistake,
03:22then probably the Supreme Court has the power
03:25to express the reality
03:27and say that these were the candidates of PTI
03:30and they were elected as candidates of PTI.
03:34Therefore, they should be considered members of PTI.
03:37One more question, Mr. Salman.
03:39If you were a candidate for Tariq-e-Insaaf
03:42and became a member of Tariq-e-Insaaf,
03:45can you join any other political party after the election?
03:49Legally and legally?
03:52Look, no.
03:54But since we were not imagined as candidates of PTI
03:58and those who were elected were not considered
04:01elected MNAs of PTI.
04:03The Election Commission did not agree.
04:06There was no other way.
04:08The Election Commission said that you are free.
04:10They decided that we are free.
04:12In that case, there was no other way
04:14other than joining any other party.
04:16I asked this question because
04:18the answer is that if you are elected
04:20on the ticket of a political party,
04:22if you cannot go,
04:24then the decision is easy.
04:26The Supreme Court can say that
04:28you cannot join any other party.
04:30But the ticket was rejected.
04:32The Election Commission did not accept our ticket.
04:35They said that we do not accept your ticket
04:38because your party was not given a symbol.
04:41Therefore, your ticket will also be considered
04:44as a candidate of PTI
04:46and you will have to fight the election
04:48as a free candidate.
04:50That is why they gave everyone a separate symbol.
04:52After the election,
04:54they declared our members as free candidates.
04:56But in today's proceedings,
04:58there was a very clear indication
05:00that now there will be a debate
05:02about the definition of a political party,
05:04what are its rights,
05:06can the Election Commission of Pakistan
05:08make such decisions as a daughter-in-law
05:10as they did before the election.
05:12But Justice Muneeb said something very interesting.
05:14He said that there are two parts
05:16of the reserve seats.
05:18One, no party can get more seats than its share.
05:20Two, no political party can be deprived
05:22of the seats of its share.
05:24In both cases, no case is made
05:26by the People's Party.
05:28But now the matter has gone back to the Parliament.
05:30For whatever reason.
05:32Where do you see this going?
05:34What will happen?
05:36Kashif bhai, I don't know the basic thing.
05:38You asked a question to a judge
05:40in your clip.
05:42He talked about the spirit
05:44of the constitution.
05:46He talked about disenfranchising
05:48the people of Pakistan.
05:50There is a democratic argument
05:52and a legal argument.
05:54In the legal argument,
05:56you can argue on technicalities
05:58and keep arguing.
06:00There is no end to it.
06:02But there is also a democratic argument.
06:04And the democratic argument is that
06:06you gave someone eggplants,
06:08you gave someone shoes,
06:10and despite that,
06:12in a country like Pakistan,
06:14where it is very difficult
06:16to make people understand the signs
06:18in villages and remote areas,
06:20people kept searching for the signs.
06:22So the decision of the people of Pakistan
06:24should not be accepted.
06:26This is what they also said,
06:28that you are disenfranchising the people.
06:30You took the symbol and disenfranchised
06:32the people yourself.
06:34Despite that, people voted
06:36for different symbols.
06:38Is there any doubt
06:40that people did not vote
06:42for the candidates of Tehreek-e-Insaf?
06:44How many seats did Tehreek-e-Insaf win?
06:46Not as many as they claim.
06:48But I think that
06:50they had a simple majority
06:52which trimmed and clipped
06:54them to 92 seats.
06:56Even today, the majority of the people
06:58in the National Assembly
07:00support Tehreek-e-Insaf.
07:02But despite that,
07:04the way we have reached
07:06to this point,
07:08everything is still uncertain.
07:10Do you think that
07:12Tehreek-e-Insaf will win?
07:14It has to be speculated.
07:16I will tell you after the break
07:18which seats will win.
07:20We have to take out Karachi
07:22and Hyderabad and Lahore
07:24and the entire G-T Road.
07:26This is not going to be
07:28a 50-60 seat game.
07:30We have not even gone to
07:32South Punjab yet.
07:34We have brought the situation to a standstill.
07:37Our esteemed Chief Justice wrote a letter.
07:40He did not like what the UK High Commissioner did at the Asma Jahangir conference.
07:45It is obvious that people keep an eye on this.
07:49And I also think that he should not have given that answer.
07:52It would have been better if this answer had gone through the Foreign Office.
07:56And in that, where he went on a world tour and gave an example of the Balfour Declaration,
08:02he gave an example of Iran.
08:06If he had to go on colonial follies, he should have mentioned Kashmir.
08:10But he would not have considered it appropriate to mention Kashmir.
08:14But now the situation has reached a point where we have to open the gaps with our teeth.
08:22Today, the full court is sitting here because you have created such a big anomaly.
08:31The illegality has become so big that you are sitting here to correct it.
08:35And the past mistakes, Qazi Faiz Issa Sahib is credited for correcting some of his past mistakes.
08:41In Bhutto Sahib's reference, he accepted the historical mistake of the Supreme Court.
08:47But what about today's mistakes?
08:49History has always accepted them.
08:51But all over the world, institutions accept mistakes.
08:57This 1971 incident is a part of our history.
09:03We all know about it.
09:05The request is that today you have to solve the situation of the country or not.
09:09Politicians are not taking it to the solution.
09:11Now the Naib Amendment.
09:13Two audiences came.
09:15The entire government of the PDM.
09:17His entire statement was that Mr. Naib is so cruel and unjust.
09:21Black law.
09:23Black law.
09:25No, no, no.
09:27It should be 14 days.
09:29He made the law.
09:31And you took it to 40 days.
09:33Again to 40 days.
09:35He said that there should be high court judges.
09:37In August 2023, our government made the amendment.
09:41Sir, this mistake, if you had done it, it would have been closed.
09:45I will explain it to you.
09:47Let him finish his argument quickly.
