00:00The objection of FATF is that you will have to take an individual consent from a sub-assembly.
00:07The government says that when this bill was being negotiated in the matter of the 26th amendment,
00:12were these things brought to your attention or your legal team should have known about it?
00:19In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Thank you very much, Maria.
00:23You started from the point that Ballester Akil, the MNA of the Muslim League, said that
00:30Sadr Asif Ali Zardari or Aywani Sadr, have raised objections to the Madaris Resham Bill in the matter of FATF.
00:41But today, the Minister of Information of the Government of Pakistan, Attaullah Taran,
00:49has released a statement that Sadr Ali Zardari has raised no objections to the Madaris Resham Bill in the matter of FATF.
00:57Now, you tell me, I will ask, is Ballester Akil right or Attaullah Taran right?
01:07One of the two is right and the other is wrong. Now, who is wrong and who is right?
01:13Since yesterday, there have been eight points in the media that there have been eight objections from Sadr Ali Zardari, i.e. Aywani Sadr.
01:22One of those objections is that of FATF. I raised the question, I released the statement, I said,
01:28tell me, will the parliament do it on the orders of the legal FATF or will it decide according to the wishes of its people?
01:41When there was negotiation for a month, you just asked a question, that this is a provincial matter.
01:49If this decision is made, then it is only limited to the delegation, which is Islamabad.
01:54These negotiations continued for a month, in which the lawyers of the parliament were also present,
01:59the lawmaker was also present, Mr. Attaullah Taran, the lawyers of the Papers Party were also present,
02:05the lawyers of the J.Y.A. were also present, all of them were present. No one raised an objection.
02:09There was a meeting in Karachi with the Papers Party, with Bilawal and S.F. Ali Zardari.
02:14There was a meeting in Lahore, in Jati Umrah, with both the husbands, the eldest and the youngest,
02:18and with S.F. Ali Zardari and, may Allah bless him, with Bilawal.
02:23And when Sadr S.F. Ali Zardari was going to withdraw the bill,
02:27a day before that, Bilawal came to Maulana Sahib at his residence,
02:31to convince him that, God willing, there is no such problem.
02:35What happened in that meeting? I want to know, because later on,
02:37Wazir-e-Azam Sahib also called you, right? Then what happened?
02:39I was not present in that meeting, but I know that,
02:43after asking my colleagues, he came to convince me.
02:47He did not raise any objection, that there is a problem with the FATF,
02:51or that there are weaknesses in the 1860 Act, and that if we do this mediation,
02:56nothing will happen. He just convinced me that this will happen.
03:00Now, let's come to this.
03:02Why do we want the 1860 Suicide Act?
03:07In 2023, the same bill was going to be passed by the Assembly,
03:11then by the DM's government, then by the People's Party,
03:13and finally by the JYI.
03:15Two or three meetings were held, and it was stopped in the middle.
03:18When the JYI's leadership asked, they were shown messages,
03:22that there is pressure and pressure from here.
03:24Okay.
03:25Now, in the 26th January, after a month of negotiations,
03:30both the parties passed the same thing, a bill,
03:33and you suspended it.
03:35Now, tell me, if there is a FATF,
03:38then will the Parliament legislate on the FATF?
03:43If there is no FATF, then both the parties passed it,
03:46then is Aywani Sadr strong, supreme, or is the Parliament supreme?
03:50What kind of a democracy is this?
03:52We are saddened by this.
03:53I was just listening to Ballester Akil,
03:55that we did not make any wrong statements.
03:57We did not do anything wrong.
03:59How did you not do it?
