00:00 People's Party has asked for an election in 90 days as per the constitution.
00:07 But they also say that if there are no elections in 90 days, then at least a date should be given.
00:12 Do you think that the People's Party is adamant that the elections should be held in 90 days?
00:17 Or according to the situation, the People's Party can step back?
00:21 I think that the Pakistan People's Party wants to ensure that the elections happen.
00:27 And that the elections should be held in the near future.
00:30 If the deadline is exactly 9th November, then the elections should be held in December or January.
00:36 Your statement and the recent statements of the People's Party show that the People's Party is afraid
00:43 that the election schedule might not be announced and the process might move ahead for a long time.
00:50 Once the election schedule is announced, it becomes very difficult to get the documents signed.
01:01 It is impossible to delay the elections, but it is difficult to get the right atmosphere.
01:06 The People's Party wants to ensure that the elections are not delayed for a long time.
01:18 And that is why the People's Party is raising its voice at every forum.
01:22 Today, Mr. Milawat's statement is very important.
01:25 He has said something about flexibility and realism.
01:28 If there are no elections in 90 days, then at least a date should be given.
01:32 So that it can be ensured that the elections are being held in Pakistan.
01:34 It is not possible that the elections will be held in a year or two.
01:37 So, this is Mr. Milawat's statement.
01:41 The People's Party is not as comfortable as it is now.
02:01 The People's Party is not as comfortable as it is now.
02:24 The People's Party is not as comfortable as it is now.
02:49 The People's Party is not as comfortable as it is now.
03:13 Mr. Wasim, the way Mr. Bilawal Bhutto said that the people who are running from the elections are doing propaganda against us.
03:20 And the second is that the people who are doing propaganda are running from the accountability.
03:24 If they keep quiet about the fake news of the NAP, then they will be misunderstood.
03:28 What do you think is their point of view?
03:30 I think that all these things that have happened in the past few days, are pointing to some negative things.
03:38 Like I said, the government office has been a little bit careful about the name of the press or the name of the stop list.
03:57 And I think that Mr. Bilawal is giving references to all these things in the same way that all these people have come directly from the power corridors.
04:06 And if they are giving the hint that we will not get the elections done, and if we have insisted on getting the elections done,
04:12 then if they blackmail us with such things, then we will not be blackmailed.
04:16 I think this is Mr. Bilawal's point.
04:18 Another point he has said is that I want to tell the more loyal than the Shah who are behind conspiracies that you will be the one to suffer.
04:25 And he also said that in 16 months, other parties will have forgiven their cases.
04:29 The focus of the People's Party was on their work, not on the cases.
04:32 Yes, what can I say about the work?
04:36 You know that Pakistan is the biggest city at the moment.
04:39 And the biggest problem is that the children die because of not being petrol-checked.
04:44 So I wish the work was done in that way.
04:48 But the more loyal than the Shah, I think this is the same matter.
04:53 I think the Pakistan People's Party has a willingness to get the elections done.
05:02 But there are some political or non-political elements who want this case to be investigated for some reason.
05:10 And Mr. Bilawal wants to isolate those elements, address them, and threaten them politically.
05:17 This is not going to be very easy for them.
05:20 Mr. Waseem, you are with us. Anchor person Meher Bukhari has also joined us.
05:25 Mr. Meher, the way Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was talking to the media a while ago,
05:29 he says that either get the elections done on the 9th day or give us the date.
05:33 What do you think is going on in the People's Party right now?
05:36 I was listening to Mr. Badami's speech.
05:41 There are two aspects of his speech that I have taken from your speech.
05:45 Firstly, the People's Party has not been hiding or coming forward for the past few days.
05:51 They have kept a strict standard.
05:53 They sometimes give a mock-up in the beginning that they have an objection to the restrictions
05:59 and they do not even believe in the digital census.
06:01 And then you see that in 24 hours, they are either convinced or the software is updated.
06:06 They go to the Council of Common Interest and say that we have been convinced and we have given a vote.
06:11 This is what your Chief Minister says.
06:15 Anyway, you come later and say that we were told that the elections will not be delayed.
06:19 We did not make any such belief in the people we asked at that meeting.
06:24 And anyway, keep in mind that the delay of the elections in terms of restrictions and approval of the census,
06:33 this debate was going on for several weeks before the Council of Common Interest was called.
06:38 So to say that we did not know, this is absolutely a joke.
06:43 So I think that this is a double game, to think that people are stupid or that people do not know what is happening.
06:50 This is wrong. This should not be done.
06:52 Either you would have taken a clear position in the Council of Common Interest and voted no.
06:55 This is one thing.
06:57 The second thing is that the former Foreign Minister has said that we are not afraid of the NAB.
07:02 And we did not benefit from it.
07:04 We did not close our cases.
07:06 We were very busy in our work.
07:09 Keep in mind that the case of NAB's amendment is being heard in the Supreme Court.
07:15 The Supreme Court has asked for a long list of who has benefited from this amendment.
07:20 And that list was presented to the Supreme Court and we have a copy of it.
07:25 And everyone knows who has benefited from it.
07:28 In this long list, you know how Manzoor Qadir Kaka has also come back.
07:33 The case of the fake account case, the central accused Hussain Lavaie has also been cleared from the NAB.
07:39 Abdul Ghani Majeed of Omni Group, who is a close friend of Asif Ali Zardari, has also been cleared from the Supreme Court.
07:47 In the year 2022, 22 cases have been cleared from the Supreme Court.
07:53 In the year 2021, 25 of the most important cases were transferred to other forums through NAB's amendment.
07:59 The Supreme Court has also returned the case of Asif Ali Zardari after the Park Lane Reference Amendment.
08:05 So, we have the hard facts.
08:07 I don't know what Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is trying to say to the people or who is he trying to fool.
08:14 All the political parties of PDM have benefited from this amendment.
08:17 The cases of Shabaz Sharif have also been returned.
08:24 Maulana Fazlur Rehman is also in this list.
08:27 All of them are in the same list.
08:30 So, someone can say that we have not benefited from this amendment.
08:34 This is a wrong statement.
08:36 Senior Anchor Maryam Iman has also joined us.
08:39 The PPP has demanded for the 9th day of the election.
08:42 And she has also said that if the people choose BTI, then the decision should be accepted.
08:46 What would you say on this?
08:48 Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has broken a long silence.
08:52 There were also speculations about him that he has been inactive since the ministry was closed.
08:58 But today he has given a very harsh statement.
09:02 It would have been so good if the PPP had taken a similar principle position and had come to the front foot
09:08 and taken a fundamental position during the elections of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
09:13 But at that time, he took the support of technicalities.
09:17 Because the elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa did not suit.
09:21 The PPP has no margin in Punjab.
09:24 They wanted to buy time in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
09:28 Which they did.
09:30 But they did not actively pursue the elections there.
09:33 And the political commentators and the technical experts were saying that
09:38 if this opportunity is taken out once, this way is opened,
09:42 then how will you be able to put your weight in the elections of Vifak
09:47 and how will you be able to pose within the limits of the 90-day elections.
09:51 So today that opportunity has come.
09:53 We are moving towards another serious and critical storm.
09:57 By giving such statements, by showing themselves separate from the PDM or the government,
10:02 the responsibilities of the previous 16 months of the government,
10:07 their responsibilities, their burden,
10:10 by removing this, the people's party cannot move back.
10:12 They have to bear their burden.
10:14 Whether it is a violation of human rights, or a violation of the constitution,
10:18 the limits of the people's party are as much as the PMLN.
10:23 And if we look at the past 16 months,
10:26 there is a public posturing, which is completely different.
10:29 There are a lot of principled things there.
10:31 We will quote the principles of the constitution and tell you.
10:34 We will give references to our old democratic credentials and tell you.
10:37 That these are not just the principles of the constitution,
10:39 but what are the sacrifices of the people's party in giving the constitution a foundation.
10:43 But whenever we saw the practical steps,
10:46 the constitution has been supported by the existing technicalities of the people's party.
10:52 And this is happening right now.
10:55 And there is another perspective to these statements.
10:57 That whenever there is a negotiation, there are tactics,
11:00 in that, so many strict statements are given on the screen,
11:03 so that the back cover is made to listen to some of their talks,
11:06 or some pressure is increased.
11:08 So it will have to be seen in this context as well,
11:10 what kind of back cover should be made,
11:13 what kind of requests or demands the people's party wants to make,
11:17 that by coming to the front foot,
11:19 they are playing the trump card that elections are necessary within 90 days.
11:22 Okay, we were thinking about the talks of Maria Memon Sahiba,
11:24 Wasim Badami Sahab and Meher Bukhari Sawal Bhutto.
11:27 Thank you all three very much.
