Govt Constitution Amendment kay Zariye Jo Chah Rahi wo Sab Nahi Howa..." Fawad Chaudhry's Statement
Transcript
00:00PMLN and People's Party, they are going to make a very important constitutional amendment today.
00:08Bilawal Bhutto, you just heard his speech. He said that there is no tension, we have to settle this matter.
00:15The number has been reached. Faisal Wada is saying that the number has been reached. Do you believe in that?
00:20No, now the consensus has been reached.
00:23So, the meaning of consensus development is that the number will also be reached, because PTI…
00:27No, I think that the main objections of PTI have been removed.
00:32Now, one or two things are left, I think that will also be finished.
00:37You see, there were two fundamental objections.
00:40What they wanted, that could not be done.
00:42What the government wanted was that they wanted to make military courts, that could not be done.
00:47Constitutional courts.
00:48Then, they wanted to make federal constitutional courts.
00:50And they wanted to give it to Faiz Issa Sahib, that also could not be done.
00:54So, these two fundamental things that they wanted, that could not be done.
00:57Behind this, there are compromises.
01:00I must say, I also give credit to Bilawal Bhutto that he took so much stance on federal constitutional courts,
01:06but in the end, he listened to Maulana Fazlur Rehman and moved back.
01:10And now, the constitution has come to the bench.
01:12By the way, this is also a useless thing.
01:14Sir, do you think that the constitutional amendment that had come, now it has become toothless?
01:18Now, it is Khaanapuri?
01:19Now, it has become toothless to a great extent.
01:21Then, it is Khaanapuri?
01:22Now, it is almost Khaanapuri.
01:24It is Khaanapuri.
01:25For example, if it is Khaanapuri, still, today, this constitutional amendment could not be passed.
01:30What is this? Why?
01:31Today, the developments, for example, the PTI meeting was at 9 o'clock.
01:37They had to discuss the entire schedule.
01:40And after that, they have to go to Maulana again.
01:42I think, they have to go again at 10 or 10.30.
01:45And they have to talk about the amendments that they have.
01:48Then, obviously, Pakistan cannot function without Imran Khan's nod.
01:51So, they have to go to Imran Khan in the morning.
01:53They have to ask him.
01:54After that, the decision of PTI will be made.
01:56So, if…
01:57Look, the trump card is JUI.
01:59But, PTI has to refrain from voting already.
02:03But, JUI will go to the main voting.
02:06Without JUI…
02:08Sir, you are saying that until and unless PTI does not give permission, JUI will not vote.
02:13JUI has said this.
02:14Permission?
02:15As long as Imran Khan…
02:16You are using the permission.
02:18They have said that until their consultation is not done,
02:21until the entire opposition is not together, we will not vote.
02:23So, you think that the constitutional amendment has been passed.
02:27For example, if it is passed, it will be passed tomorrow.
02:30Because, Faisal Wada is also saying that it will be passed now.
02:32To make such a big effort…
02:34What they wanted, that did not happen.
02:36What Faisal Wada wanted?
02:37What the government wanted.
02:39To make such a big effort, more than a month…
02:41There is an effort in front.
02:43How much effort is behind that, that is another story.
02:45No, the effort that has been made in the last 5-7 days,
02:47by picking up people,
02:49even Shah Mehmood's daughter-in-law,
02:51what is left now?
02:52That was something that should not have happened.
02:55But, tell me this,
02:56after so much effort, if this had to happen,
02:59then didn't that entire effort become futile?
03:03Now, is this face-saving?
03:05Now, it is face-saving.
03:06Now, nothing like this is left.
03:08Yes, no.
03:09Judiciary has become weak.
03:10Judiciary will become weak from this amendment as well.
03:13But, the problem will be that…
03:15For example, look at this,
03:17that Chief Justice has become a figurehead, primarily.
03:22The position of Chief Justice of Pakistan,
03:24which was of great power earlier,
03:25now it is not of that importance.
03:27Now, they are saying that a Constitution bench will be formed,
03:30within the Supreme Court.
03:32And, the Constitution of that bench,
03:34will be done by the Judicial Committee,
03:36which is a special committee,
03:37which has 13 members.
03:39But, right now, 8 members are of the government.
03:42That means, 8 members of the government
03:44will appoint the Constitutional Court.
03:47So, being of that bench,
03:49the importance of Chief Justice,
03:51becomes very less.
03:53So, now, it doesn't make a difference,
03:56who is the next Chief Justice.
03:58Yes, it doesn't make that much of a difference.
03:59Even if it goes to the unpopular person of the government,
04:02it doesn't make a difference.
04:03It doesn't make a difference.
04:04There is no power.
04:05Then, till 25th,
04:07can you see the government waiting?
04:09Or, before that,
04:11I don't know why they are in a hurry.
04:13Actually, the Constitution should come into effect on 26th.
04:17So that, Mansoor Ali Shah's appointment is done,
04:20and then, the next Chief Justice can start.
04:21The Constitutional amendments that you can see now,
04:24will it make a difference,
04:25who is the next Chief Justice?
04:27Who will be the next Chief Justice?
04:29The one that will happen now.
04:30The government is going before 25th.
04:32See, like I said,
04:34Mansoor Ali Shah, Muneeb Akhtar,
04:37and Yahya Afridi,
04:38why was the government doing this?
04:41First, understand this.
04:42The government was doing this,
04:44so that there is no surprise in the decisions.
04:47First, we should know what the decision is.
04:49All the exercises were being done for this.
04:51Now, the problem is,
04:53if they had made a Federal Constitutional Court
04:56on their favorite judges,
04:58then this vulnerability would have been reduced.
05:01But now, these 17 judges of the Supreme Court,
05:05this vulnerability will remain with them.
05:08There may be one or two judges among them,
05:10who can give services to the government to that extent,
05:14as much as they want.
05:15For the rest of the judges, it is very difficult
05:17to cooperate with the government in this Supreme Court.
05:21First, send your decision,
05:22that sir, we have started giving this decision,
05:24you give the order.
05:25Or, like the trust they had on Mr. Faiz Yusuf,
05:28there is no judge like that now.
05:30This will not happen for some time.
