00:00 The president of Pakistan, Irfan Qadir is with us. In your opinion, this letter has been sent to the Chief Election Commissioner. President Arif Alvi has written a letter. He says that you can discuss the matter regarding the elections in 90 days from the Supreme Judiciary. How do you see this?
00:22 He has been wrongly advised by the President of Pakistan. His legal advisors do not know the constitution. They do not have the comprehension.
00:32 The outgoing Chief Justice was wrong. He was repeatedly giving dates for the elections. Obviously, no one can force the Election Commission to give dates. It is not the President's job to give dates.
00:47 The President will give dates in one form. The President's name will be used. The President can give dates in his own way. He can give dates himself.
01:00 The President's name will be used. The President's position in the world is symbolic. He does not have the power of the Executive, Election Commission or any other institution.
01:14 It is a simple matter. It is being made complicated. The Supreme Court has made a wrong decision. He is repeating it. The three judges have already rejected the matter.
01:27 Four judges have said that such cases should not be dealt directly with the Supreme Court. These three judges are saying that it was a decision of three to two.
01:36 It was a decision of three to two. It was a decision of four to three. There is no need to go to the Constitution. The Election Commission has to give dates in the Constitution.
01:45 If the elections cannot be held in 90 days, then it is okay. The Election Commission will do the work. They will hold the elections.
01:58 No one else can intervene in this matter. Neither the Supreme Court, nor the President of Pakistan, nor I, nor Kashif Abbasi, nor Howard Guman can intervene in this matter.
02:09 We can intervene in any matter.
02:11 Irfan sir, they have not used their commanding authority or their power. The last paragraph of this letter clearly states that they may seek guidance from the Superior Judiciary for the announcement of a single date for the general elections.
02:25 They have also indicated that they can seek guidance from the Superior Judiciary. What do you say to this?
02:31 Yes, yes. Your voice is cut off. Please ask again.
02:35 I will ask you again, Irfan Qazi. As you said that the President does not have the authority to use his authority.
02:40 They have not used their authority or their power.
02:43 In the eighth paragraph of this letter, they write that the Election Commission may seek guidance from the Superior Judiciary for the announcement of a single date for the general elections.
02:52 They have also indicated that they have used a suggestive language in this and have indicated that they may seek guidance.
02:59 No, the President does not have this role. He cannot intervene in this matter on his own.
03:05 If the Election Commission wants to use the name of the President, then it is fine if they want to talk to the President themselves.
03:14 If the government of the time wants to give the President a piece of advice, then it can be done in that way.
03:20 But the President cannot initiate this matter on his own.
03:24 Here, they are initiating it themselves. It is not their job to initiate these matters.
03:29 Okay. And Irfan Sahib, it is written in this that the President has the right to give a date within 90 days under Article 48.5 after the dissolution of the Assembly.
03:47 How will you explain this?
03:50 Yes, the President does not have any such right.
03:53 You have to read Article 48.5 along with many other articles.
03:58 So, the President does not have any right to give a date on his own. He has no right.
04:06 And what does the Constitution say about the conduct of the elections, Irfan Qadri Sahib?
04:12 This matter will be brought to the Supreme Court. Because the Constitution says that we will talk to Irfan Qadri Sahib in 90 days.
04:18 But this is an important matter.
04:20 President Arif Alvi has proposed to hold general elections on 6th November.
04:24 The President's Chief Election Commissioner, Sikandar Sultan Raja has written a letter.
04:29 The Election Commission is responsible for following the Constitutional and legal procedures under the Election Act 2017.
04:35 The Election Commission should consult with the political and provincial governments on the objectives of the Constitution.
04:40 The Election Commission should take the leadership of the Supreme Court for elections on the same day.
04:45 President Arif Alvi has written a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner, Sikandar Sultan Raja.
04:51 And has proposed to hold general elections on 6th November.
04:55 The letter states that the Election Commission is responsible for following the Constitutional and legal procedures under the Election Act 2017.
05:03 The Election Commission should consult with the political and provincial governments on the objectives of the Constitution.

05:36 And has also invited the Chief Election Commissioner to meet him to fulfill the constitutional and legal requirements.
05:41 So that the procedure of implementing the Constitution and its orders can be made clear.

05:53 And that the general elections of the National Assembly and the Supreme Assembly should be held on the same day.
05:58 the park.
