00:00 I think this is a non-starter.

00:04 I think this formation of the government is very dangerous.

00:09 Where there will be a strong opposition led by Barista Gauhar or Sher Marwat or anyone else.

00:18 But this is a very explosive parliament.

00:22 What will happen in the first session? How will it be?

00:25 This whole situation seems to me to be a political stalemate.

00:33 The way we are moving forward, it seems to be more than a stalemate.

00:37 As I have said before, I think the situation is moving towards political conflict.

00:42 Sir, in 2014 when Imran Khan was sitting with the protest,

00:46 we repeatedly had the opinion that no government should be so unstable sitting outside in the form of a group.

00:54 The general council will decide.

00:56 Today, Maulana Sahab told us that it can go to any extreme.

00:59 And then Maulana Sahab, standing in front of the Kamarkas,

01:03 used the same words that a group cannot dictate from the streets.

01:08 Even then he warned.

01:09 But today if he has to play the same role,

01:12 then someone should convince someone, someone should convince Maulana Sahab not to do this.

01:18 But today Maulana Sahab is very disappointed.

01:20 He tells Asif Ali Zardari Sahab that he does not believe in his style of politics.

01:24 He says that he cannot do what he does.

01:26 He is also disappointed with PMLN.

01:27 He is also calling Shabaz Sharif a weak Prime Minister.

01:29 And then he is praying that may God forbid this assembly does not run.

01:32 Sir, his disappointment is that he feels that all the wrong policies of PDM,

01:37 and inflation, all the problems have fallen on them and not on these parties.

01:41 And yesterday he was not even invited to Chaudhry Shujaat's house.

01:44 So somewhere, these are the parties that were running in his favor yesterday.

01:49 By not reaching out to Maulana Sahab,

01:51 they are not even doing any service to democracy and the system right now.

01:54 Meher, Maulana's biggest political attraction right now is with Asif Ali Zardari Sahab.

02:02 And this has been going on for a long time.

02:04 Even then when in 2021, the PDM was running a campaign against Imran Khan Sahab,

02:10 against his government,

02:11 there was tension at that time as well.

02:13 Then that tension increased further.

02:14 And then the tension between Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif also increased to a great extent.

02:20 In fact, the People's Party had to leave the PDM or had to remove it.

02:25 The second is that the biggest setback has happened to Nawaz Sharif Sahab.

02:30 Because this whole stage was set up for Nawaz Sharif Sahab.

02:37 When he came back, he was delayed in coming back.

02:41 And the 3.5 years that have been wasted in a way by PMLN,

02:48 I had asked Rana Sanaullah Sahab this question in Geo Transmission,

02:53 he was not agreeing to this.

02:55 But I said that I think that perhaps Mian Sahab could not realize the ground realities,

03:02 that how much ground he has lost in 3.5 years.

03:05 And he has lost more ground, perhaps he would not have lost so much,

03:09 if he had not come in between 16 months.

03:12 Because Nawaz Sharif Sahab could not convince new people for 16 months.

03:17 And why are people convinced?

03:18 Shahbaz Sharif Sahab could not convince and why are people convinced?

03:22 That inflation has been such an extraordinary inflation,

03:26 which cannot be imagined,

03:28 for which you cannot give any reason,

03:31 you can put the previous government, but people do not accept it.

03:35 People accept the rulers standing in front of them,

03:38 they consider them responsible.

03:40 So I think that these 16 months,

03:42 PMLN, PDM, JUI, other parties have taken them.

03:49 But Mr. Mazza, his complaint is that the People's Party and PMLN

03:53 have not suffered so much in the 16-month government as we have.

03:56 Mr. Mullahana is saying that he made the policies and I have implemented them.

03:59 Is this his complaint or not?

04:02 And yesterday, when he was in a position,

04:06 yesterday he was saying to Imran Khan and PTI that they are weakening institutions.

04:09 How are you getting their position today?

04:13 Look, Meher, I don't think I will use such words.

04:18 But it is certain that JUI's politics,

04:22 which in 1970,

04:24 in 1970, JUI together with the National Awami Party,

04:27 made the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Balochistan.

04:31 In 1988, he was a member of the People's Party.

04:34 He has also been the chairman of the Kashmir Committee.

04:37 In 2008, from 2008 to 2013,

04:40 the Jamiat-e-Islami and JUI, in 2002 as well,

04:43 in 2002, the MMA made the government.

04:46 Mr. Mullahana was a part of it.

04:48 In 2008, in the same way, ANP and JUI together made the government.

04:53 So Mr. Mullahana himself should revisit his own politics,

04:56 that JUI and overall, generally we see,

04:59 that the religious parties, whether they are the Jamaat-e-Islami,

05:02 or JUI, or Tehrik-e-Labdaik,

05:04 or Wahdat-ul-Muslimeen,

05:06 where is their religious party's politics?

05:10 They do not get electoral support.

05:13 So this is not a unique thing.

05:15 This is not something like that.

05:18 So if your politics from 2008 to 2013,

05:22 because of Imran Khan or for some reason,

05:25 and generally, it is obvious that PTI has in-wrote in KP,

05:31 and they not only shocked JUI,

05:34 they shocked ANP, they shocked Muslim League,

05:37 they shocked People's Party.

05:40 So I think, and there is a reason for that,

05:43 because the narrative that Mullahana used to carry,

05:45 the narrative that the Jamaat-e-Islami used to carry,

05:47 vis-à-vis Afghanistan,

05:49 or against terrorism, in terms of operations,

05:52 so if it has been carried in the best way,

05:56 then it is because of Imran Khan.

05:58 That is why people joined him.

06:00 So I think, JUI or other Jamaats-e-Islami should revisit their politics.

06:05 What is the reason that religious parties,

06:08 cannot make their place in the public?

06:11 This is not just a matter of money.

06:13 This is a matter of their politics as well,

06:15 which they should look at,

06:17 and think about.

06:19 Because their politics does not end.

06:21 There is a decline in their politics.

06:23 JUI is a very old pre-partition Jamaat,

06:27 in terms of JUI-Hind,

06:29 it is a Jamaat-e-Islami pre-partition Jamaat.

06:32 But they should think about,

06:34 why their Jamaat did not get election success in the last 75 years.

06:39 This is a question for them to think about.

06:41 Thank you very much.
