00:00 Habib, he said that he wants the best, clean and hardworking people for the election of the cabinet.
00:06 He also mentioned his red lines, corruption, performance.
00:09 All these are my red lines.
00:11 Do you think they will follow Mr. Shabaz's model,
00:14 will they work with bureaucracy or will they form a mobilized team?
00:17 How free will they be to run that team?
00:21 Look, all the plans that he has mentioned today are all based on bureaucracy.
00:27 This is the first meeting since the last election.
00:31 But all the plans that he has announced are based on the basics
00:37 that the various secretaries of the cabinet have given him.
00:41 So you can see that all these are bureaucratic objectives,
00:49 but there is no political input in this.
00:52 And the result of this is that, as he was saying today,
00:57 that there is a big problem of sewage in the villages.
00:59 Although there is no sewage problem in the villages, there are some other issues in the villages.
01:02 So, the plans that the bureaucracy has made, they have made them.
01:06 And all the plans that were made today, they were all bureaucratic in their nature.
01:10 And all these objectives are also of bureaucratic nature, not political.
01:14 So, today for the first time we have seen that their first political interaction
01:19 has been based on the bureaucracy.
01:23 And the objectives that they have expressed are completely bureaucratic.
01:29 Secondly, as far as the team is concerned,
01:32 the team is obviously doing the right thing to the extent that
01:37 the basic thing should be that the team should be based on performance.
01:41 But the big political challenge in front of them is that
01:45 they cannot easily make a team.
01:49 Do you see a big name in their team?
01:51 Like Shabashiri Sir had Rana Sanaullah and Rana Mashood.
01:55 Yes, see, where you have to make your team,
01:59 there is also a political threat that there are a lot of people in their team
02:04 whose seats are in itself, that is, the mandate to get seats is a question.
02:09 So, at such a time, when their seats themselves will be in the courts,
02:13 then there will be a lot of demand from them as well.
02:16 And then the new people on whose basis this majority has been formed,
02:19 they too must have come on the basis of some claim, some promise.
02:23 So, they have also kept their demands.
02:26 And the third thing they are saying that you are warned,
02:29 a person came to me who tried to get some politically motivated
02:34 to run or transfer, then they will also have to face them.
02:38 Because they do not have that majority of 2013,
02:43 in which many people could have ignored their political adversaries.
02:50 Now they will not have this chance.
02:52 So, in a difficult political situation,
02:55 they have managed the government of the largest province of Punjab.
02:58 So, when the first assembly will be held, as soon as the cabinet is formed,
03:02 then after that, the various ministries within the party will also start playing for their slots.
03:08 So, it is not such an easy task to say this.
03:11 There is a big difference between saying and doing.
03:14 All the ministers say that we will now vote on merit,
03:17 we will make our agenda on merit, we will make it short.
03:21 But you see that this could not have happened in the government of 16 months.
03:28 It could not have happened in this, it could not have happened in the government of Hamza for a month.
03:33 So, they will have to make their political strength by giving them positions.
03:38 So, ultimately they will have to give them.
03:40 Yes, Shehzad.
03:41 Yes, I think the biggest political challenge will be in terms of Pakistan's justice.
03:48 Because since the KTK government has come, we have seen that in Punjab,
03:52 the attitude of the Punjab police has been there,
03:54 that against the workers of Pakistan's justice, against the leaders,
03:58 being beaten at home, being a violation of human rights, not getting the basic rights,
04:02 being arrested, being arrested under the MPO, putting people in jail.
04:07 How will Mariam Nawaz Sahiba manage this politically?
04:10 I think this will be her biggest political challenge.
04:13 Because, see, so far, it is the KTK government whose accountability is not as such,
04:17 as that of a elected government.
04:19 Here, Imran Khan Sahib will be in jail,
04:22 and when he comes under the Punjab government,
04:24 he will be a burden on the current government.
04:26 Because as long as the KTK government is there, you can put him in jail.
04:29 Whenever a political government comes, there will be pressure on it.
04:33 What do you think, will Shehzad forgive?
04:36 There have been complaints about him, but Mian Sahib also had a temper,
04:39 he keeps things in his heart.
04:41 What do you think, will he forgive?
04:43 Look, as far as I have not heard his complete speech,
04:46 but today, I think he has not said anything special about political victimization.
04:50 So, it is very important to see, going forward,
04:53 how he will move his Punjab government forward.
04:56 Because, the backlash we saw on Tehreek-e-Insaf after 9th May,
05:01 was especially very much in Punjab.
05:03 In comparison to Islamabad, in comparison to Sindh,
05:05 and in comparison to Kharb-e-Pakhtunkhwa, it was very much.
05:07 And you know that the KTK setup there,
05:10 their ministers were openly speaking against the people of Tehreek-e-Insaf.
05:16 This should not have happened.
05:18 But, this is a very big challenge.
05:20 We will see this temperament as well.
05:22 But, Habib, Maryam Sahiba, while walking on the footsteps of Benazir Bhutto,
05:26 the majority of men will have to convince themselves.
05:29 She will have to leave Nawaz Sharif's daughter's side,
05:32 and will have to challenge to make her own name.
05:34 Which is again, a very big Herculean task.
05:37 Maryam Sahiba, will have to bring back the vote bank of Muslim League Nawaz,
05:40 to make it permanent.
05:41 Which she has been stuck with.
05:43 Will Maryam Sahiba be able to do all this?
05:45 Look, first of all, her parallel with Benazir cannot be drawn,
05:49 because Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was not present to launch his daughter.
05:53 And whatever her daughter did, she did it with her own strength.
05:56 So, Maryam Nawaz has the edge that her uncle is also present as PM,
06:02 and her father can also sit in the Raiwan and coach her.
06:06 So, with her, there cannot be a comparison.
06:10 Secondly, in an adverse situation, she was in power,
06:15 whereas Maryam Nawaz is in power under an arrangement.
06:20 There are questions on her mandate,
06:22 and her political opponents are very powerful people.
06:28 They have the support of the people.
06:31 And there will be no shortage of their aggression.
06:33 Now, especially when Pakistan's Parikh-e-Insaf,
06:36 which is the biggest party of the National Assembly,
06:40 and the second largest party,
06:42 and it is claimed that we have majority in the Punjab Assembly,
06:45 which has been changed, and they will also take up this issue.
06:49 Similarly, they will also have the KP government.
06:52 So, politically, and the situation we have been seeing for the past two years,
06:57 all this opposition will be consolidated.
07:00 So, how do they handle this consolidated opposition?
07:03 I think this will be a very big test.
07:06 And then again, we should keep in mind that
07:09 when Mother Maryam Nawaz created her name,
07:15 it was when Siza was hostile.
07:18 Since the establishment of the Pak-Muslim League,
07:22 the Muslim League has reduced its support base,
07:27 and increased it.
07:29 So, now they will have to work on the reduced support base.
07:33 These are very difficult times.
07:35 And I think that now, what is called "walk the talk",
07:39 this question will be raised very soon,
07:41 and in a very short time.
07:43 And Shehzad, what kind of environment are you seeing in Iran going forward?
07:46 For women, even if they don't have a wife,
07:49 challenges are presented.
07:51 Nawaz Sharif, who used to work with his wife,
07:54 we have seen a very hostile environment in the past.
07:56 But Mother Maryam says that five years is very short.
07:59 She says that 24 hours a day is not enough.
08:01 No, you are absolutely right.
08:04 But I think the way they have made their identity known in the political sphere,
08:11 after Nawaz Sharif, if anyone is saying crowd, then it is him.
08:14 So, I think there will be no difference in being in the parliament or assembly.
08:18 I don't think this will be a big challenge.
08:20 He has a strong personality.
08:22 Will he come to the assembly or not?
08:24 Nawaz Sharif did not come to the assembly.
08:26 We have seen that neither Mian Sahib nor Imran Khan Sahib used to be present.
08:30 No matter how big a leader is,
08:32 he cannot be bigger than the parliament or the assembly.
08:35 So, I think they should keep their attendance.
08:38 Things should be taken hands-on.
08:40 You just talked about how they will bring back votes.
08:44 How will they bring their acceptance to Punjab?
08:46 This has been proven in this election as well as in the previous elections.
08:50 The party that has the Mujahidin Biyanis will get acceptance.
08:55 They may not get acceptance, but they will definitely get acceptance.
08:58 In 2018, despite all the difficulties,
09:01 PMLN got the most seats in Punjab.
09:04 This time, despite all the difficulties,
09:07 despite not getting a level playing field,
09:09 Tehreek-e-Insaf has got the most seats in the country.
09:12 So, it is very clear that the party that has the Mujahidin Biyanis will survive.
09:17 Thank you very much.
