00:00There will be a protest on November 24, but what is the future of negotiations?
00:06Negotiations between the government, the establishment and the justice system have become a dilemma today.
00:12I am saying a dilemma because today, while leaving the Islamabad High Court,
00:17the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mohsin Naqvi, completely refused in the press conference
00:21that there are any negotiations between the government, the establishment and the justice system.
00:27There are no negotiations.
00:29Threats are being given and then they will say that there is no situation to talk.
00:32When are we negotiating?
00:34When he says that there are threats and protests,
00:36then since the last year and a half, the chairman of the justice system, Mr. Imran Khan, is inside.
00:41And the protests have been postponed several times only because you remember once,
00:45the doors of the jail were opened at 7 in the morning.
00:47Anyway, on the one hand, this is Mohsin Naqvi's claim.
00:49Now see what Mr. Imran Khan said.
00:51Mr. Imran Khan said during a conversation in the jail,
00:53that I am being told to postpone the protest for 10 days.
00:57He said that this message was brought to me by Ali Ameen Gandapur and Barrister Gauhar.
01:02I can't tell you who sent the message of negotiations or who sent this message.
01:06You are very smart, you must have understood who the message was sent to.
01:11Let me tell you that Mr. Imran Khan refused to negotiate with the government.
01:16He said that there will be no negotiations with this government.
01:21He also said that the government is not serious in negotiations,
01:24they will continue and the protests will also continue.
01:28Now let's see which of the two is true.
01:30Mr. Mohsin Naqvi's statement that there are no negotiations.
01:35And Mr. Imran Khan's statement that he is sending a message to me.
01:39In the last two days, the doors of Adiala Jail were opened twice.
01:43And the doors of Adiala Jail are usually not opened without the consent of the Sahis.
01:49Politicians often go for negotiations in Tariq-e-Insaf,
01:53they are either arrested or not allowed to meet.
01:57But if a minister, who is also a negotiator,
02:01and on their demand that I don't want to go alone,
02:04Barrister Gauhar should also be sent with me.
02:07These two were not only sent inside, but they were also negotiated.
02:12The message that was sent was put in front of Mr. Imran Khan.
02:15So it seems that at least circumstantial evidence says that
02:19there was some message as a result of the negotiations,
02:23which was sent to Mr. Imran Khan, on which he refused.
02:28If you look at the incidents in the last week,
02:31how many incidents have taken place,
02:33in which dozens of our soldiers have been martyred.
02:38And Mohsin Naqvi was trying to bring the Indian team to Pakistan.
02:43He was making statements on this.
02:45He was going around stadiums.
02:47So the art of putting two things together,
02:50about which Mr. Rana Sanaullah had advised Mr. Mohsin Naqvi,
02:55that please, both are full-time jobs, keep one.
02:58What did Mr. Rana say?
02:59I don't know if I should do one or the other.
03:01It's up to them.
03:02This decision should be made by me.
03:04All I can say is that these two positions are full-time jobs.
03:09If they are doing a full-time job, Mr. Mohsin Naqvi,
03:12then today's complaint and today's press conference,
03:16in my opinion, should be left to a PCP.
03:18Because the situation is so bad in Pakistan right now,
03:22due to terrorism and security.
03:24Anyway, the Islamabad High Court asked a lot of questions for the public,
03:28which is also right.
03:29There was a petition today,
03:31IG Islamabad, Mohsin Naqvi, and all of them were present in that hearing.
03:37And they gave very emotional statements,
03:39that see what is happening in this country, etc.
03:43The real problem is that on the one hand,
03:45the Islamabad High Court is right,
03:47no one knows, neither Islamabad nor the citizens of Ralpindi,
03:49what will happen on Sunday and Sunday.
03:51Everyone is sure that the internet will be shut down.
03:53Everyone is sure that the city will be closed with containers.
03:57It is possible that more cities will be closed.
04:00Everyone knows that if people try to leave,
04:02then tear gas will be used openly.
04:05Surroundings will be set on fire.
04:07Protesters will be throwing stones at them.
04:09They will be hitting them.
04:10And the business of life will be ruined.
04:12No one knows how many days will be left.
04:14But it is true that all this will happen.
04:18And it is a basic fundamental right of people,
04:21this right to life, that their life is not affected.
04:25But there are many other fundamental rights as well,
04:28which should only be considered by the courts.
04:32Protesting for one's rights is the fundamental right of every citizen.
04:37Has the court tried to make this right credible?
04:43On many occasions, it has been allowed to protest.
04:48But we have also seen in the past two years,
04:51all the politics that have been seen in the past two years,
04:54that justice has been deprived of many fundamental rights.
04:58People have not even been given the right to vote for the political party of their choice.
05:04This is a very fundamental right of the political party.
05:09Did the votes count properly?
05:12Is there a preservation of fundamental human rights in this country today?
05:17When the police barge into someone's house,
05:20what do we see and hear from there?
05:24Whenever we feel like, we pick him up and take him away.
05:26Raids are carried out in houses.
05:28There is a ban on the public opinion.
05:30Even after being imprisoned in jail,
05:34many things are done despite the court's order.
05:38Meetings are not allowed.
05:40And people's business,
05:42even today I was talking to a PTI representative in Punjab.
05:46He said that the journey that Punjab has made,
05:49has not only affected the family life,
05:51it has also ruined people's business.
05:53But you should also consider this.
05:55Atar Kazmi Sahib is present,
05:57Wasim Badami Sahib is present,
05:59and Mohammad Zubair Sahib is present.
06:01Thank you very much to all the guests.
