00:00Timing is very interesting.

00:02Suddenly, you saw the issues of Judiciary,

00:07that we have to correct Judiciary.

00:09The biggest issue is in lower Judiciary.

00:12Masood Ali Shah said in a speech,

00:1585% cases are in lower Judiciary.

00:1915% are in High Court.

00:212% cases are in Supreme Court.

00:24Most of them are in Supreme Court,

00:26where relief is less for common people.

00:29It's the timing that raises questions.

00:32This is not our all of a sudden,

00:36circumstantial agenda.

00:40In 2006, Mian Nawaz Sharif and

00:43Muhtamad Behrendi Bhutto signed

00:45the Constitution of India.

00:48I, Raza Rubani, we were initially involved,

00:52then Asad Iqbal, Sadr Abbasi.

00:54This was a 4 year exercise.

00:55In 2002, in the first meeting,

00:57Mr. Behrendi Bhutto was in Dubai.

01:00He said, if I ever come to power,

01:03I will not be backstabbed.

01:05His only witness is Aftab Shivan Mehrani.

01:08I said, it can happen to us also.

01:10It applies to us also.

01:12Before that, we joked with each other

01:15in two terms.

01:17It was to be written in the Code of Conduct.

01:20For that, Raza Rubani and I

01:22took the duty and we had to draft it.

01:24As the work progressed,

01:26the scope of the work increased.

01:28Civil-military relations came up,

01:30judicial reforms came up,

01:32the work to bring the Constitution

01:34into its original state came up.

01:36One more important thing that was

01:38not implemented was the Constitutional Court.

01:41I think Article 4 of the Constitution

01:43of the Republic of India.

01:45The Truth and Reconciliation Commission

01:47came up.

01:48It took 4 years to do that.

01:50First, both the leaders signed it.

01:53Within a few weeks, the leadership

01:55of all political parties was called.

01:57Imran Khan was also a part of it.

01:59Millennium Hotel in London,

02:01they also endorsed it.

02:03Even Maulana Fazlur Rehman

02:05supported it in his subsequent statements.

02:08This is a fundamental decision.

02:10Now, let's see what to do.

02:12You talked about the pendency.

02:14Approximately 60,000 cases are

02:16reportedly pending in the Supreme Court.

02:18Almost 25% of them,

02:20as we have been told,

02:22are constitutional petitions.

02:24The petitions of yours and mine

02:26are foreign petitions.

02:28That's fine.

02:30Let's do it right now.

02:32The way it's happening,

02:34it seemed like a bulldoze.

02:36No bulldoze.

02:38MNS is gathering, everyone is coming.

02:40Mr. Mian has been called from Lahore.

02:42The numbers are not being completed.

02:44I remember only Mr. Rana Sonala

02:46was the only person saying

02:48that we don't have the numbers.

02:50Others are saying that we are being picked up.

02:52You make constitutional amendments

02:54with consensus.

02:56It seems that you want to do

02:58everything before the deadline

03:00of October 25.

03:02People say that maybe

03:04the Chief Justice is retiring

03:06before October 25.

03:08Now we are hearing that

03:10the amendments are coming

03:12in the first week of October.

03:14If the constitutional amendments

03:16are being done with good policy,

03:18what is the hurry?

03:20When Mr. Malana Fazl-ur-Rehman

03:22formed a committee

03:24of the National Assembly

03:26in which there were some senators.

03:28I was also a member of it.

03:30When he said that he wanted more time,

03:32we said okay, you can take the time.

03:34This is the reason for the delay.

03:36There was an indication

03:38that voting would be done today.

03:40When he said in the committee

03:42that he wanted more time,

03:44we said Bismillah, there is no problem.

03:46This is not a new agenda.

03:48It will ease out.

03:50There will be division of work.

03:52The 45% of the people

03:54who are here,

03:56imagine what the number is.

03:58There is no debate on the concept.

04:00Where does the doubt arise?

04:02Why do questions arise?

04:04Mr. Faiz-ur-Rehman gets up.

04:06You amend the Procedure Act.

04:08He calls for a meeting

04:10after 1.5 to 2 hours.

04:12The clash with Mr. Mansoor Ali Shah

04:14and Mr. Mansoor Ali Shah

04:16changes the committee.

04:18Suddenly,

04:20a review petition comes.

04:22The review petition is taken up.

04:24This was pending.

04:26It was pending for two years.

04:28Suddenly, it is taken up in this environment.

04:30Then Muneeb Akhtar leaves.

04:32Today, it is announced

04:34that with or without him,

04:36we will do it.

04:38The decision of the tribunals

04:40is again in your favor.

04:42If the mistakes are being rectified,

04:44we should appreciate it.

04:46Whatever we talk about,

04:48we should see whether it is right or wrong.

04:50If the decision of 63A is wrong,

04:52it should have been rectified.

04:54We have already wasted a lot of time in this country.

04:56We destabilized it in Punjab.

04:58It was all political.

05:00This decision was absolutely wrong.

05:02I am a student of law.

05:04I have been involved in legal committees

05:06for 35 years.

05:08The decision was absolutely wrong.

05:10I want to know

05:12whether this decision is right or wrong.

05:14This is not a personal decision.

05:16Has this decision been made

05:18that the age of the judges will be increased

05:20or has it been left as it was?

05:24The purpose of the committee meeting

05:26was that

05:28we were stuck in the macro.

05:30The nitty-gritty details

05:32were to be decided after that.

05:34All the parties were present.

05:36Malhana has said

05:38that she has a right

05:40and she is a party leader.

05:42She wanted more time.

05:44I have not studied the concept properly.

05:46If you remember,

05:48two or three days before that,

05:50she supported the constitution

05:52on the floor of the assembly.

05:56Now, the micro-detail

05:58of the age and number…

06:00This is a very important micro-detail.

06:02If you are increasing the age of the judges,

06:04it will have a direct impact

06:06on the sitting of the Chief Justice

06:08and the future of the Chief Justice.

06:10Tell me,

06:12has this decision been made

06:14that the age of the judges will be increased?

06:16All these things will be discussed

06:18and decided.

06:20Once we are ready…

06:22Does PMLN want to increase the age of the judges?

06:24No. PMLN is open.

06:26The People's Party,

06:28which is our main ally,

06:30has also openly supported

06:32the age of the judges.

06:34We were in a meeting in the parliament.

06:36The day you called Mr. Mian,

06:38obviously,

06:40when there is a primary election,

06:42Mr. Mian was also there.

06:44Obviously, every vote counts.
