00:00I would like to ask Mr. Meherbano Qureshi, who is with me from Lahore, about democracy.
00:05Because it is very interesting for him that his father is in jail and his brother is also in jail.
00:11And this is the democracy of this country.
00:13In which, as it was said today, it is okay to go to jail. It's not okay.
00:20In which country in the world is it okay to go to jail?
00:22If you are a politician, it's okay, you will go to jail.
00:25Jail goes to the one who has done two things.
00:27Mr. Khokhar, start with you.
00:28These are the realities of our country.
00:31Unfortunate realities.
00:32Unfortunate realities.
00:33One good day, I was very happy when I heard it.
00:36I saw all the proceedings with great pleasure.
00:40But we also know that these are all just words.
00:43Because from this very parliament, what you are talking about doing,
00:47you are also going to make a legislation.
00:49And that legislation is for your political interests.
00:51Like the previous legislations.
00:53How can a politician go ahead with this?
00:56Yes, thank you.
00:57Brother Kashif, you have said a lot in the beginning.
01:02And I don't think it is necessary to go back to their details.
01:07But if we keep in mind the challenges of this country,
01:11the seriousness of the situation, the gravity of the crisis,
01:15then believe me, this was a very good day.
01:19It was a very good message for this nation.
01:21Thank God.
01:23In this country, you are not able to create a consensus on terrorism.
01:28This is your biggest challenge.
01:31In that, the police of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are protesting on the streets.
01:36And if you look at their demands,
01:39then the seriousness of the situation,
01:42and a person's heart is so worried that
01:45where are we taking this state, this country,
01:47the 25 crore people who live in it, to?
01:51Now, what does the police there say?
01:53They say that the security forces should withdraw.
01:57We will clear our areas ourselves.
02:01We will clear them in three months.
02:04With whom you have to fight shoulder to shoulder.
02:07You have to fight against the enemies of Pakistan.
02:10Today, your own people,
02:14believe the police of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
02:17that protesting on the streets is not a small thing.
02:22Then, a few weeks ago...
02:24Protesting is not a small thing,
02:27but what it is being done for is a bigger thing.
02:30Exactly.
02:31Then, a few weeks ago,
02:34a big-time politician from Balochistan,
02:38Mr. Mengel, resigned from this National Assembly
02:41because it was meaningless.
02:44Why did he resign?
02:45He says that the situation in Balochistan today,
02:48all the politicians there,
02:50are not able to answer the questions of the youth and the public.
02:54And the biggest question that is being asked of them,
02:57not only in Balochistan, but in the whole country,
03:00is what is the status of this parliamentary system?
03:03What is the point of sticking to the constitution,
03:06the democracy, the process?
03:13This is the most dangerous question
03:15that is being created in the minds of the youth in Pakistan today.
03:17What does the parliament give to anyone?
03:19What does the parliament give to anyone?
03:21And where this question is being asked,
03:23there you see the bravery,
03:25that in the last hour of the night,
03:27at 3 in the morning,
03:28you wear a mask and people enter there.
03:31Where this dangerous question is presented to the society,
03:34to this state,
03:35there you should be more sensitive.
03:38That even if we make a mistake,
03:40we should not take such a wrong step.
03:42And there you enter at 3 in the morning,
03:44turn off the lights of the parliament,
03:46and search for the MNAs with torches.
03:48Did you listen to Atta Tarar?
03:50He said that no one has gone inside.
03:52Did you listen?
03:53So, it's amazing.
03:54Did you run it?
03:56I will tell you now.
03:57Yes, listen.
03:58This is,
03:59I just want to tell Atta Tarar,
04:01that no one has gone inside.
04:06Some videos came in your notice,
04:08some evidence came out that no one was picked up from inside the house.
04:11And the day before yesterday,
04:12some lines were crossed.
04:13And Mr. Khair said that the lines were crossed,
04:15so is his reaction justified or not?
04:18That also one has to understand.
04:20Now, without a doubt,
04:22even if we don't discuss this on TV channels,
04:26but the last meeting of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly,
04:30these are very alarming things for the federation,
04:36which need to be paid attention to.
04:38And in all these contexts,
04:40even today, there is a crisis.
04:41Look, our economy is in a slump right now.
04:43We don't know that the IMF...
04:44No one is talking about it.
04:45No one is talking about it.
04:46Because such big political issues have arisen,
04:48that no one is talking about the economic crisis of the mountains.
04:51We have been repeatedly told by the Minister of Treasury,
04:55that within a week,
04:57Pakistan's case is being taken by the IMF board,
04:59and we will get a loan there.
05:01And that is not happening.
05:02And that is not happening.
05:03And that is not happening.
05:04We have this question,
05:05Kashif Bhai,
05:06believe us,
05:07realize their seriousness,
05:09that today, those countries,
05:11the IMF has said,
05:12that you should get guarantees from them.
05:14The closest countries to Pakistan,
05:17who have stood with Pakistan in every difficulty,
05:19in the past,
05:20in the past 76 years,
05:21why are they reluctant today?
05:23We are not giving you guarantees.
05:24We are not getting it right now.
05:25We are not getting it right now.
05:26We are not getting it right now.
05:27May Allah make it happen.
05:28May Allah make it happen.
05:29May Allah make it happen.
05:30We all want it.
05:31But the request is that the seriousness of the situation
05:33has reached such a level,
05:34that keeping that context in mind,
05:35I believe that the speeches of today,
05:38I welcome them.
05:39This country needs political consensus.
05:42And this spirit,
05:44it should move forward,
05:45so that the lives of 25 crore people,
05:47who are on stake right now,
05:49will not be harmed further.
05:50Mr. Barrister,
05:51the problem is,
05:52will it remain for one day,
05:54or will it be used as a platform,
05:57and will it be built further?
05:59See,
06:00we often,
06:01half an island comes out in between,
06:0315, 20, 25, 30,
06:05after very bloody days,
06:07good speeches are made.
06:09We have seen this before.
06:10Will it remain for one or two days?
06:12Thank you very much, Kashif bhai.
06:13First of all,
06:14the whole package that you have run,
06:17and what Mr. Atta has said,
06:19and what Mr. Speaker has said,
06:21and what Mr. IG has said,
06:22first of all,
06:24I outrightly condemn this.
06:26With MNAs,
06:27arrest from within the parliament,
06:29this is not their privilege.
06:31It has happened, right?
06:32See, if it has happened,
06:33because they have formed an inquiry committee,
06:36and if I say that
06:37when the inquiry committee
06:38will fizzle out this entire matter,
06:40and these things will be revealed,
06:42first of all,
06:43they have suspended the MNAs from today,
06:45after that,
06:46I think that
06:47the IG police is giving this statement.
06:48The media was standing outside,
06:49you know,
06:50videos were being made,
06:51cars were being fired.
06:52See,
06:53I say this,
06:54even outside the parliament,
06:55if they have done something wrong,
06:56they could have been arrested from somewhere else.
06:57Why was it that
06:58they were arrested even outside the parliament?
06:59What is wrong,
07:00is wrong.
07:01I will never stand with what is wrong.
07:03But what you are saying,
07:04that today,
07:05a very good consensus has developed,
07:07there was a very good atmosphere,
07:08this should happen in the future also.
07:10At least,
07:11the polarization,
07:12the direction we have reached,
07:14which political party is there,
07:15which political party is there,
07:16which political party is there,
07:17which political party is there,
07:18which political party is there,
07:19which political party is there,
07:20which political party is there,
07:21which political party is there,
07:22which political party is there,
07:23which political party is there,
07:24which political party is there,
07:25which political party is there,
07:26which political party is there,
07:27which political party is there,
07:28which political party is there,
07:29which political party is there,
07:30which political party is there,
07:31which political party is there,
07:32which political party is there,
