00:00 I'll come to the democracy issue. I'll come to this issue as well.
00:02 Mr. Niazi is present here.
00:04 He has just held an election.
00:06 I have two questions to ask him.
00:08 Mr. Niazi, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:10 Assalam-o-Alaikum, yes brother.
00:12 Sir, the election you have held,
00:14 tell me,
00:16 everyone is saying that
00:18 China should be brought to power.
00:20 Everyone is saying, I am listening,
00:24 you listen to me as well.
00:26 I think this is the third election of Tehreek-e-Pakistan.
00:28 You have also covered
00:30 our inter-party election in 2012
00:32 when the general election was coming up.
00:34 We had told Mr. Khan
00:36 that you are going to the general election,
00:38 don't do this.
00:40 But we did that as well.
00:42 It is the first party in which
00:44 there are real inter-party elections in the democratic system.
00:46 The second party is afraid
00:48 that
00:50 this is what we have established
00:52 in a monarchy party.
00:54 You go and see the election certificate.
00:56 I have listened to everything you have said.
00:58 Tell me, the election commission
01:00 which did not agree to your elections,
01:02 Yes.
01:04 Everyone is saying that they have done wrong to Ali Zafar.
01:06 But they have put a microscope.
01:08 In that microscope,
01:10 you have handed over this election to them.
01:12 Look, the first election order
01:14 is of 2011-2023,
01:16 which is the judgment reserve.
01:18 You know this as well.
01:20 It is an inter-party election
01:22 and in the inter-party election,
01:24 the way Pakistan
01:26 conducted it, there were 8-6 elections,
01:28 there were hearings on it,
01:30 after that, the judgment reserve was in place for 2 months.
01:32 And there was nothing left in that.
01:34 What was the irregularity?
01:36 Now, the 20-day elections
01:38 that they gave,
01:40 Sir, they will still say irregularities.
01:42 They will come and say that
01:44 the council meeting did not take place,
01:46 there was no nomination, there was no scrutiny,
01:48 no one was allowed to go to the elections.
01:50 Then, talk about irregularities.
01:52 In the ECB order of 2011,
01:54 there is a mention
01:56 that it was due to COVID-19.
01:58 They said, "You have to do it
02:00 according to the 2019 constitution."
02:02 I put the 2019 constitution in front of me,
02:04 I put the 2020 rules in front of me,
02:06 according to that, I appointed the ROs,
02:08 I appointed the Presiding Officer,
02:10 I did the nomination paper all day,
02:12 the whole day, which was
02:14 scheduled on 1st December.
02:16 On 29th, we did the invitation
02:18 nomination paper,
02:20 we did the scrutiny,
02:22 we took the nomination paper,
02:24 and all the secondaries and proposers
02:26 came to me.
02:28 After that, the rules say
02:30 that if the returning officer
02:32 comes to one panel,
02:34 they announce,
02:36 then he will go to the election commissioner,
02:38 he will announce the election in the form of a resolution.
02:40 Now, if we have done so many activities,
02:42 now it is being said again and again.
02:44 So you are saying that you have fulfilled all your responsibilities.
02:46 I have fulfilled all my responsibilities,
02:48 and I think I will get the third election done.
02:50 One more thing,
02:52 if a panel comes to me,
02:54 and all its requirements are fulfilled,
02:56 what can I do as an election commissioner?
02:58 I will do the same,
03:00 that the election I have announced,
03:02 according to that, the election commission
03:04 that Pakistan has told me, I have done it.
03:06 One more request,
03:08 that yesterday we went through three rounds,
03:10 the election commission,
03:12 still they asked small things,
03:14 that this card is not attached,
03:16 now our election commission
03:18 has a request from Pakistan,
03:20 that there is little time,
03:22 they are giving the schedule on 16th December,
03:24 we have issued the certificate,
03:26 according to that certificate,
03:28 the election commission has published it.
03:30 Let's see what the election commission does,
03:32 I have to take a break, but you are saying
03:34 that you have fulfilled all your responsibilities.
03:36 Now let's come back to this thing
03:38 that we were discussing earlier,
03:40 PDM 2,
03:42 that is, there will be an election,
03:44 we all know the situation,
03:46 there are safeguards on it,
03:48 level playing field allegations,
03:50 almost everyone is putting,
03:52 except those who are chosen ones,
03:54 who are of the system at the moment.
03:56 Let's go, after the break,
