00:00Without the consensus of Maulana Fazl Rehman, it is impossible for us to pass this constitutional amendment.

00:08Okay. Ideally, but let's not be ridiculous.

00:11If the constitutional amendment is passed, only two-thirds of it should be passed.

00:13I am saying this correctly. If I say this, it is an open secret.

00:16The amendment was not passed that day because Maulana did not agree to some things.

00:21Is it true that Maulana gave you a commitment the night before?

00:26As far as the night before is concerned, without Maulana Fazl Rehman's consensus, it is impossible for us to pass this constitutional amendment.

00:39The meeting I had with Maulana Fazl Rehman the night before, Maulana Fazl Rehman's objection, or the objection of the Jama'at,

00:52or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,

01:02or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,

01:07or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,

01:12or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,

01:17we believe that there should be clean and succinct judicial reforms, constitutional court, review of the 19th Arvin,

01:31and if there are any other issues, then they should be raised in their own context.

01:36There is no need to bring them together.

01:40You also know that if I want to make my own calls to the government, or if I want to give my opinion on the judicial process,

01:53then I will have to accept some of their points as well.

01:55Similarly, Maulana Fazl Rehman had to be engaged in the same way.

02:00Maulana Fazl Rehman's Jama'at came to the committee and brought the raw draft that the government had,

02:10and if Maulana Fazl Rehman's input, or if there was any additional input on my Jama'at,

02:17or if there was any input from the rest of the committee members,

02:22if there was a consensus of two-thirds by minimum, then it had to be passed,

02:28and it didn't happen at that time, but I don't think there is any need to be disappointed.

02:35We have been waiting since 2006 to bring this constitutional reform.

02:40If we wait a few more days, there is no better solution.

02:44But of course, there is a need to engage with Maulana Fazl Rehman.

02:49The Pakistan People's Party and Maulana Fazl Rehman's Jama'at,

02:53which has come out with the JUI,

02:55that the original draft of the Pakistan People's Party, which we have prepared with this reference,

03:03with reference to constitutional reform, with reference to constitutional court,

03:07for implementing the Charter of Democracy,

03:11we will put that in front of the JUI,

03:17and the JUI is also working on its own draft,

03:22so if we can make a consensus document between our two drafts,

03:27then perhaps it will be easier for us to cross that two-thirds majority.

03:33This may take a month or two?

03:36Yes, my attempt will be to make it as soon as possible.

03:41But because this is not a wish of today or tomorrow,

03:46my priority is that we achieve what we want to achieve.

03:50If we want to take Maulana Fazl Rehman with us,

03:58then perhaps it will not take a month or two.

04:01But this is Maulana Fazl Rehman's desire,

04:04and I think it is a legitimate desire from his perspective,

04:08that we not only bring the government together,

04:12but also have the input of the PTI.

04:14If we follow that process,

04:16then perhaps it will take a month or two.

04:19My point of view is that these reforms may not happen,

04:26but if we work with an open heart and with a good intention,

04:33then God willing, there will be a result of this effort.
