00:00 I was doing my professional obligations and Alhamdulillah
00:28 I have filed a case with the grace of Allah
00:33 which will benefit many people
00:36 that you cannot usurp the fundamental rights of someone
00:40 and you cannot use such big lawsuits
00:44 and wage wars and gag people
00:49 and you cannot usurp the rights of journalists and the public
00:55 so this case was based on fundamental rights
00:58 in which I kept on filing cases in the Supreme Court
01:02 and Alhamdulillah it was accepted
01:05 and the Supreme Court has given such a verdict
01:08 which will benefit many people
01:11 and as a result, I think your journalist community
01:16 will rejoice in this in the whole of Pakistan
01:22 You are absolutely right, because many people have said
01:26 like you know, many people have said that this is unprecedented
01:30 let's see how it affects future cases
01:34 but Khosla sahib, when did you get the invitation to come to CEC?
01:40 I want to know the date
01:42 Yesterday, maybe, you came in the last 24-48 hours
01:47 I just want to ask you a question
01:52 In the last 24-48 hours, you were invited to CEC
02:01 then you were sent a show-cause
02:04 they said that you are defending a leader
02:07 who you have been defending for the last 1.5 months
02:09 you are defending cases against him
02:11 which you have been defending for the last 1.5 months
02:13 and you gave a speech which you have criticized as state policy
02:18 which is against state policy
02:20 I will come to state policy later
02:22 you gave this speech on 9th
02:24 today is 14th
02:26 on 14th morning, Nayyar Bukhari sahib was reminded
02:30 what do you think, was he reminded that he should not be invited to CEC?
02:35 See, Kashif, first thing is that I never gave confirmation
02:41 that I am coming to CEC meeting
02:43 because I never mixed up my profession with political party or political relationship
02:51 My profession is regulated by Constitution and Legal Practitioners and Bar Council Act
02:59 under this, my profession, which is law, regulates it
03:05 in Article 10 of Constitution, it is fundamental right of every citizen
03:12 that he should keep a lawyer of his choice
03:18 and in my Legal Practitioners Act, it is necessary on me
03:22 that if someone follows my conditions, fees etc.
03:25 then I am bound to follow it
03:28 then no one can ask me anything
03:30 Sir, this is your point, but your party is asking for the power of People's Party
03:34 No, no, see, that is my party, I am not a government employee
03:39 or I am not a member of their party
03:41 Sir, reading that sentence, I feel that
03:43 No, no, Kashif, do it
03:46 See, what is a political party?
03:49 Now in Article 17, every person has a right of association
03:55 that is, your political party affiliation, your bondage, your personal wish
04:05 in which party you want to go, you want to make an association, you want to be a member of someone
04:10 and I have the party of Baba Shahid Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Chaar Aane
04:15 and all the positions given by Rani Shahid Benazir Bhutto
04:18 which is CEC, Central Executive Committee
04:21 Sir, but the problem is, the problem is here, Mr. Khosla
04:24 Listen, listen, Kashif, no one has the power
04:27 I will tell you, there is a king in a political party in Pakistan and his subjects
04:32 The king said, do the show cause
04:35 You have done the show cause, you agree
04:38 I am sure you know that this happened
04:40 Someone said, what happened, one or two people said, do the show cause
04:43 I don't agree
04:45 Kashif, I don't agree
04:47 We don't agree, Mr. Zulfiqar
04:48 I don't agree, I don't agree
04:50 I don't agree with the king
04:52 I have seen, I have seen
04:54 Sir, the question is, you don't agree
04:57 Tell me, did Nayyar Bukhari do this on his own or he was told to do the show cause
05:02 How would I know, ask him
05:06 He is a lawyer
05:07 It is illegal, unconstitutional
05:09 Listen, it is not worth the paper, worth the paper on which it is written
05:14 No one can ask me, why you have become a lawyer
05:19 This is my legal right and no one can ask me
05:24 Neither the political party nor my family can ask me
05:28 This is my and Sahil's regulated relationship which runs under the law and the law
05:35 Sir, Mr. Khosa, tell me the real thing
05:38 Your analysis, sir, I want to know your analysis
05:41 Sir, one second, you tell me your analysis
05:43 Why did you become a lawyer?
05:47 Actually, you are speculating
05:51 Look, the thing is, if the political parties are like a family
05:57 I have said this 50,000 times
05:59 My son was shot, no one came to ask me
06:04 This happened during the same caretaker government
06:07 My house was fired, my driver was injured
06:11 The car was sprayed with bullets, no one came
06:16 Imran Khan came to my house
06:18 To ask that your firing happened, I have come to enquire about the safety
06:23 And during that time he narrated his own story
06:27 And I saw his similarity, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in 109
06:33 The way he was killed in the battle
06:36 Razaat Shar is murdered in a quota
06:39 And PS2PM has not been buried yet, the FIR has not been filed
06:43 And he says that Imran has been murdered, Imran Khan should be hanged
06:47 So I saw the same similarity
06:49 And I did not accept that case at all
06:51 Because there was no conflict of interest of the People's Party
06:56 So that's why I am free, in my profession
07:00 No one can ask me whose case I take
07:03 Yes, my own moral duty
07:05 Look, I have the eyes of Jamaat-e-Islami
07:08 Because Layaqat Baloch is from our area, he is our friend
07:14 And the president of our area, Hafiz Sahib came to me
07:18 And said that in such a way, in such a way, in such a way, the People's Party has done this
07:24 So we want you to do the same in the Supreme Court, in the High Court
07:27 I said no, look, you are directly accusing my party and Chairman Bilal
07:33 Sir, tell me one thing, I understand what you are saying
07:36 I said no, I said no, there where there was conflict of interest, I did it on my own
