[00:00:22] except Dr. Sama Syed. The eight-member board has been reduced to
[00:00:26] five members. The order for the medical board was issued. While talking to Geo News,
[00:00:30] Mir Raza Hasan's father said that when they were ready for the exhumation,
[00:00:33] the medical board was changed in the dark of night. "We
[00:00:39] So I think will not allow the medical board to conduct the exhumation." He claimed that influential people are involved in the murder of Mir Raza.
[00:00:43] The family's lawyer, Jibran Nasir, said that they would go to court
[00:00:46] regarding the medical board in the morning. Mir Raza's family is not satisfied

[00:02:08] said Minister of State for Interior, Dalal Chaudhry, during a discussion
[00:02:12] on Geo News program 'Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Ke Saath'. He said that after two and a half
[00:02:15] years, the countdown for the government begins, but this time it will complete its five years
[00:02:19] and the alliance will also continue in the same way. The Pakistan People's Party
[00:02:23] realizes this, and will realize it even more. It is also in the interest of Pakistan
[00:02:27] and the system that the current alliance continues
[00:02:30] in the same way.
[00:02:35] Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah says that there is a procedure in the constitution
[00:02:39] for creating new provinces. According to the constitution, if a provincial assembly
[00:02:42] passes a resolution to divide the province with a two-thirds majority,
[00:02:46] then it is possible. The Sindh provincial assembly has unanimously opposed
[00:02:50] the new province many times. If there is ever any change
[00:02:53] in this stance, which does not seem to be happening, then it can be discussed.
[00:02:56] ہے۔
[00:03:11] Prime Minister completes his five years,
[00:04:02] he has now made explicitly. But I think
[00:04:10] that some grievances
[00:04:14] and after that, things
[00:04:32] if a new system comes, a decision has been made. thing is that when we talk about democratic societies
[00:05:12] Headlines: We will give you news from Karachi, where a motorcyclist
[00:05:16] has been killed after being hit by a car near Qayyumabad Chowrangi. We will know more from
[00:05:19] Geo News correspondent Danyal Syed, who is with us. Danyal, please
[00:05:23] tell us. Yes, exactly.
[00:05:26] This accident happened a little while ago near Karachiabad
[00:05:29] Chowrangi. According to rescue officials, an unknown
[00:05:33] fast-moving vehicle hit a motorcyclist,
[00:05:37] who died on the spot. The deceased pedestrian
[00:05:41] was approximately 30 to 35 years old.
[00:05:44] According to rescue officials, the identity of the deceased person has not yet been confirmed,
[00:05:48] but the body of the deceased person
[00:05:51] has been shifted to Jinnah Hospital for legal formalities. The motorcycle
[00:05:55] used by the deceased has been shifted to Baloch Colony police station
[00:05:59] person responsible for the accident,
[00:06:02] the unknown driver, is underway.

[00:06:39] Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi's statement that the system
[00:06:42] is broken and needs a reset has sparked a debate
[00:06:46] in the country. Last night, he further
[00:06:50] clarified this statement and expanded upon it. He says
[00:06:54] that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will complete his term,
[00:06:57] will remain for five years, and further added that he meant
[00:07:01] that if the Prime Minister had a functional system to work with
[00:07:04] given how diligently he works, things would be much better. Hear it from him first,
[00:07:08] what did he say? I still believe that if the Prime Minister
[00:07:13] had a proper system, he would have taken this country
[00:07:16] forward much faster. And people have a strong desire, and will continue
[00:07:20] to have it, that somehow my relations with him are bad, the government's
[00:07:24] future is secure, it will complete five years. Shehbaz Sharif
[00:07:27] will remain Prime Minister for five years. They can do whatever they want with my statement,
[00:07:31] they can extract whatever they want, but Inshallah
[00:07:34] Ta'ala, the Prime Minister will complete his full five years. And you
[00:07:38] know that this statement or clarification came in this atmosphere
[00:07:43] where opinions are divided. In the new system
[00:07:46] of Pakistan, structural changes in provinces, local governance,
[00:07:50] a big debate has erupted. In such a situation, especially
[00:07:54] the government has not come forward openly, it is reacting slowly.
[00:07:57] I am Alina Farooq Sheikh, and the question here is what
[00:08:01] should be inferred from the clarification or statement given by the Interior Minister.
[00:08:05] For this entire discussion, we are joined by Irshad Bhatti Sahib. Bhatti Sahib, Fakhar Durrani Sahib,
[00:08:09] Mazhar Sahib and Mahmal Sarfaraz are also with us. Fakhar, we would like
[00:08:13] to know your opinion first of all.
[00:08:16] We used to do that, didn't we,
[00:08:19] interpret the poetry, what does the poet want to say in this verse?
[00:08:23] Mohsin Naqvi Sahib has further clarified regarding the five
[00:08:27] years, that the Prime Minister will complete his term and the system.
[00:08:30] And he also said what the purpose of his statement
[00:08:34] was.
[00:08:37] Thank you very much, Alina. In this poem, the poet has further complicated
[00:08:40] the matter. You remember his first
[00:08:44] statement, what did he say in it? That the Prime Minister,
[00:08:48] who works 12 to 16 hours a day,
[00:08:51] even if he works for 10 years, he will still fail
[00:08:55] because the system is a failure. Now what has he said? He has simplified
[00:08:59] it a bit further by saying that the Prime Minister will complete
[00:09:03] five years, but the system is a failure. So in
[00:09:06] other words, the point that Naqvi Sahib made
[00:09:10] indirectly is the same point
[00:09:14] that the statement Mohsin Naqvi Sahib gave, even though he
[00:09:18] met with the Prime Minister regarding this, and it is being heard
[00:09:23] have been resolved,
[00:09:27] have improved. But did this debate
[00:09:30] of the past week, which involved many kinds
[00:09:34] of speculations, whether about the "same page" tearing apart
[00:09:37] or other things, I think it would have been better
[00:09:41] if Mohsin Naqvi Sahib
[00:09:45] had been asked to specifically identify which system is failing, because he keeps talking
[00:09:48] about system failure, but he doesn't pinpoint which system is failing.
[00:09:52] The system includes various institutions, it includes your economy,
[00:09:56] it includes your law and order situation.
[00:09:59] All these things are there. It would have been better
[00:10:03] than repeatedly making riddles and doing things, it would have been better
[00:10:07] to say this institution is not performing, it needs
[00:10:10] reforms,
[00:10:12] this work is not done well in that institution, it needs reforms. What happened to the law
[00:10:16] and order situation in Pakistan in the last three years?
[00:10:20] What reforms did we make in it? This
[00:10:24] would have been better if Mohsin Naqvi Sahib had come forward
[00:10:27] and explained these things. I think Mohsin Naqvi Sahib's way of
[00:10:31] speaking in riddles and sometimes giving a clean chit to the government,
[00:10:35] sometimes saying that the system has failed, this is not
[00:10:39] at all a good and auspicious sign
[00:10:44] Although it is also being said that
[00:10:47] the establishment and the government are on the same page and there is no
[00:10:51] such thing, but still such statements from Mohsin Naqvi Sahib
[00:10:55] repeatedly, even the clarification, in that also he has further
[00:10:58] complicated the matter, I think, and made it complex.
[00:11:04] in this regard, the Prime Minister and the entire cabinet
[00:11:07] should discuss it, and I remember Rana Sanaullah Sahib's statement
[00:11:11] where he perfectly pointed out regarding the system
[00:11:15] that those who covered a 30-year journey in three years
[00:11:19] to reach this point, I think this is indeed a failure
[00:11:23] of the system that always such people come through a backdoor
[00:11:27] in the form of technocrats and then, to reach the highest level,
[00:11:30] to put the blame like this on the entire government
[00:11:34] and to spread confusion among themselves,
[00:11:38] it would be better if this was discussed
[00:11:41] once in the cabinet as to what
[00:11:45] is the failure in the system, which institutions are involved. Now news
[00:11:49] has also started coming that a complete proforma regarding the performance
[00:11:53] of ministries is being
[00:11:55] prepared, but even better than that would be to see
[00:11:59] Mohsin Naqvi Sahib. If you look at the last three to four years,
[00:12:03] the caretaker setup, he came after conducting elections as Chief Minister,
[00:12:07] whereas Article 224 of the Constitution clearly states
[00:12:10] that no one can participate in an immediate
[00:12:13] election. Despite that, under the same system, he not
[00:12:17] only became the chairman
[00:12:21] but then he also contested Senate elections and got elected.
[00:12:34] Such paths have been given in our system itself, and if
[00:12:38] such paths, and especially regarding institutions,
[00:12:42] he would have specifically told which systems are failing. The system
[00:12:46] includes everything from a local government to every ministry
[00:12:50] here. So he is not specifically telling
[00:12:53] even now, Mohsin Naqvi Sahib is still saying the same thing that the Prime Minister
[00:12:57] will complete five years, but the system has failed.
[00:13:01] So it would be better that such a ministry and such an important
[00:13:04] ministry he has taken charge of,
[00:13:08] and the situation in Pakistan, whether it is related to terrorism or overall,
[00:13:12] looking at Mohsin Naqvi Sahib,
[00:13:15] is it fine? So I think that Mohsin Naqvi Sahib is creating more confusion
[00:13:19] with such statements. It would be better if he clearly states that such
[00:13:23] and such an institution has failed.
[00:13:55] He is trying to make his point more convincing. What does he want to
[00:13:59] highlight in it?
[00:14:02] No, the first thing is that this is a damage control exercise.
[00:14:05] He also knows, there is no such thing that he said this in a fit
[00:14:09] of rhetoric. It has been a week, Alina,
[00:14:13] from last Thursday until today, he
[00:14:16] said what he said with great pre-planning, the way he spoke,
[00:14:20] and especially about administrative units or
[00:14:23] new provinces, there is no
[00:14:27] doubt in our mind that he just said something
[00:14:30] and then later he is saying, no, no,
[00:14:34] I am retracting it. There is no such thing. This is
[00:14:38] a way, because there was criticism about it, where did this
[00:14:41] talk come from, who said this, why was this said? The debate
[00:14:45] that started because of it, perhaps that's why he wants to say this, because you know
[00:14:49] that there are many speculations, will the government go
[00:14:52] or will it stay? What
[00:14:57] who will be the Prime Minister in it? Is he himself a candidate
[00:15:01] for it? Such things are obviously rumors.
[00:15:04] But Alina, what he is saying, that the system is still collapsed, Fakhar
[00:15:08] was also talking about it just now. He should answer some things. What
[00:15:12] does he think, is the collapse in the system only
[00:15:15] going to be fixed by creating new provinces or new administrative
[00:15:19] units? Look, we have already discussed that administrative units
[00:15:22] should be formed, given Pakistan's growing population, these things
[00:15:26] are necessary for good governance. But the reason for the system's collapse
[00:15:30] is not just that there are fewer provinces or
[00:15:33] fewer administrative units. Obviously, in this collapse,
[00:16:37] little attention is being given. I think, I said this before, that there should be a complete
[00:16:41] debate on this,
[00:16:45] in provincial assemblies and in parliament.
[00:16:48] If there are any reservations, because look, news is also coming, Alina, that
[00:16:52] if Karachi and Gwadar are made federal territories. Now, when
[00:16:55] something like this comes up, how can you take such a step
[00:16:59] without political consensus? Or even if Rana Sanaullah Sahib
[00:17:03] said what he said, he spoke constitutionally, didn't he? He said that it should be done according to the constitution.
[00:17:06] In the constitution, in Article 394,
[00:17:09] it is clearly stated how it should be done. So whatever
[00:17:13] needs to be done, I believe that political parties should decide it themselves
[00:17:17] within the confines of the constitution. But what Mohsin Naqvi Sahib
[00:17:21] is saying, and this is not a personal matter, Alina,
[00:17:25] it's not just about him. But if you look otherwise, how can
[00:17:28] any person who is not affiliated with any political party
[00:17:32] come to such an important position? And this
[00:17:35] problem, that when we talk about
[00:18:07] Look, the first thing is that Naqvi Sahib has clarified
[00:18:11] in a way. If a Prime Minister completes
[00:18:14] his five years, then this is a success
[00:18:18] of the system.
[00:18:21] How did the system fail? No Prime Minister in this country has ever completed five years.
[00:18:25] This will be the first Prime Minister to complete
[00:18:29] five years. And why were five years not completed? Because no
[00:18:32] Prime Minister was allowed to complete five years.
[00:18:36] They were not allowed. They were removed.
[00:18:40] If you look at the list, from Benazir Bhutto to Nawaz
[00:18:44] Sharif and Imran Khan, if any
[00:18:49] then Shehbaz Sharif will set a record.
[00:18:51] He will be the first
[00:18:54] Prime Minister. Leave aside how he was elected,
[00:18:58] but he will be the first Prime Minister to complete five years. So then
[00:19:01] how did the system fail? It means there was improvement
[00:19:05] in the system. And that's the whole
[00:19:08] debate, that Prime Ministers are not allowed to complete five years in this country.
[00:19:12] Conspiracies begin. As for his
[00:19:16] other point, which is being debated a lot. Look, there is a very easy
[00:19:20] solution. Why are you creating such
[00:19:23] an atmosphere that causes tension?
[00:19:26] You should make cities metropolitan corporations, make Karachi
[00:19:30] a metropolitan city. Empower other cities.
[00:19:33] Empower the local bodies, which are already
[00:19:37] in your framework. Empower them.
[00:19:41] Just as you have amended the 26th and 27th
[00:19:44] times, similarly,
[00:19:48] do not interfere with other
[00:19:50] things. This will cause harm.
[00:19:54] At this time, the situation Pakistan is going through.
[00:19:57] Starting a new debate will cause harm, not benefit.
[00:20:01] If
[00:20:06] کے
[00:20:37] should happen. Because in this country, accountability, from Ayub Khan
[00:20:41] to today, has only been done on political grounds.
[00:20:44] In true sense, there has been no accountability in this country.
[00:20:47] So you and if these five.
[00:22:20] that the Prime Minister will complete five years, does this statement
[00:22:23] give such an impression? Look, when
[00:22:27] the Interior Minister says this, he shouldn't be saying it. He said, "He says it's a five-year
[00:22:31] assembly, elected for five years, he will remain for five years."
[00:22:34] Okay, Bhatti Sahib,
[00:22:38] Bhatti Sahib, how do you analyze and comment on all of Mohsin Naqvi Sahib's
[00:22:41] statements? Madam Sheikh, first
[00:22:45] of all, I would like to ask Mazhar Bhai what harm
[00:22:49] can come from debate in democratic societies?
[00:22:53] Every matter should be debated. Is our
[00:22:56] judiciary independent today?
[00:23:09] So the first thing is that democratic societies are built on debate,
[00:23:12] on questions, on performance.
[00:23:16] In Britain, in 10 years, five or six Prime Ministers
[00:23:20] came and went. What happened there? Did the world
[00:23:23] come to an end there? Why should Shehbaz Sharif complete his term
[00:23:27] if his performance is not good? Why should we keep him imposed
[00:23:30] on us if his performance is not good?
[00:23:34] So that's the first thing. Secondly, I would like to share a couplet
[00:23:38] for Mohsin Naqvi Sahib's consideration:
[00:23:41] "Wisdom became madness, and madness became wisdom,
[00:23:45] whatever your charm may create."
[00:23:48] Whatever your
[00:23:50] It caused pain and sorrow to hear your latest statement, your latest golden words, your justifications.
[00:24:04] You couldn't even stand on your feet for a few days.
[00:24:08] Just a few days.
[00:24:12] Look at my attendance, it's 70 percent. Don't spoil my relations
[00:24:16] with the Prime Minister. Get a third-party audit of my performance.
[00:24:20] What do we care about your attendance in the cabinet? What
[00:24:23] is your performance? You came to this position
[00:24:27] by your own efforts? What is your performance as
[00:24:31] Chairman PCB? What is our team's ranking in One-Day?
[00:24:34] What is our ranking in Test? What is our ranking in T20?
[00:24:38] What is your ranking as Interior Minister? Has the country
[00:24:41] gone to hell? And
[00:24:44] where is that SHO who was supposed to fix the situation in Balochistan?
[00:24:48] Where are those two or three people
[00:24:52] you were supposed to catch, and it was supposed to be revealed how 100 billion dollars were laundered out of the country?
[00:24:56] You yourself said this. The wave of terrorism
[00:24:59] that is there, have you ever openly sat down
[00:25:03] and informed us in detail that this should be discussed,
[00:25:06] these things should be done, these should be done? What is your performance?
[00:25:10] So you would be sitting at home
[00:25:13] running your business. If it were about performance,
[00:25:16] you would never have reached these positions. And if it were
[00:25:20] about performance, you would never have remained in these positions until now.
[00:25:23] And Mohsin Naqvi Sahib,
[00:25:27] the second thing you said is that the system will remain even if it's destroyed,
[00:25:31] and the current system is not going anywhere.
[00:25:33] Meaning the doctor
[00:25:37] is telling the patient that you are a very serious
[00:25:41] patient, but I won't even treat you. Why
[00:25:44] is that? It means we have malaria, and a mosquito
[00:25:48] didn't even bite us. Why? What
[00:25:51] is it? Which system did Quaid-e-Azam Sahib
[00:25:54] make wrong? You are talking about Pakistan. Did Allama Iqbal Sahib
[00:25:58] dream wrong? You are talking about the sacrifices of our millions of people.
[00:26:02] And Shehbaz Sharif will remain
[00:26:06] Prime Minister for five years. The government has not been charged. If Shehbaz
[00:26:09] Sharif had a good system, he would have taken the country forward faster.
[00:26:13] It seems you haven't read any book in your life, Mohsin
[00:26:17] Naqvi Sahib. Look at Pakistan before 1988, and
[00:26:21] now, these two dynasties we are stuck
[00:26:24] with. Look at their Pakistan after 1988. These are our
[00:26:27] diseases, these are our problems, with whom you want to maintain
[00:26:31] good relations, whom you want to complete five years.
[00:26:34] You are the adopted son of one, and you don't want to spoil relations
[00:26:38] with the other. Then don't fight Pakistan's case. We were
[00:26:41] living, crying, laughing, living. You told us that
[00:26:45] it is destroyed, broken. Do something, the Prime Minister just
[00:26:49] does firefighting. So do something, otherwise cockroaches will gather and
[00:26:53] overturn everything. You said that, so stand on your feet.
[00:26:56] If there is a country, then there is everything, isn't there? Do we have to salute
[00:27:00] Shehbaz Sharif Sahib's picture or Asif Ali Zardari Sahib's?
[00:27:02] Why do we want to impose them when their performance
[00:27:06] is not good? Miftah Ismail Sahib, last point, Miftah Ismail Sahib
[00:27:09] was just telling yesterday that in this
[00:27:13] country, in four years, 40 thousand billion debt was taken,
[00:27:16] and in 75 years, 45 thousand
[00:27:20] billion debt was taken. In four years, 40 thousand billion, in 75 years,
[00:27:23] 45 thousand billion. So you want to stay with this system,
[00:27:27] you don't want to spoil relations with them. So the point
[00:27:29] is, this is our problem, we don't act on what
[00:27:33] we say. If we say it, we don't stand by it. And because
[00:27:37] no one loves the country, sir.
[00:27:41] Why do you think he is deviating from his first statement? Because
[00:27:45] he is saying that I am saying that the system is still broken.
[00:27:48] In fact, he praised the Prime Minister's performance.
[00:27:51] So then where did the system go wrong
[00:27:55] if he is praising the Prime Minister? He is saying it's not the Prime Minister's
[00:27:58] fault. He is saying it's not the Prime Minister's fault. You heard the whole statement, you told me.
[00:28:03] Tell me, why did you feel that? No, why did you
[00:28:06] feel that he is deviating from his statement? Then it's Mohsin Naqvi Sahib's problem,
[00:28:10] at least he should apologize to them. He might be feeling it's his problem. Sir,
[00:28:14] tell me why you think he is deviating from his first statement?
[00:28:18] Please clarify this. Yes, I will. PML-N and PPP
[00:28:21] have been coming to power for the last 30-35 years by changing faces.
[00:28:25] These two dynastic monarchies are the ones who destroyed
[00:28:29] the system. They are the ones who destroyed Pakistan. With them, the system will remain the same.
[00:28:41] Change the provinces below, create new provinces. Will anyone let you create them?
[00:28:45] No one will let you create them. So the point
[00:28:48] is that you made a good point that this system is destroyed,
[00:28:52] create new administrative units. And now you are saying that these
[00:28:56] two parties want to create new administrative units.
[00:29:00] That's right. Look at my performance,
[00:29:03] I'm also fine. So then who is the system,
[00:29:07] Mr. System, who has gone bad, tell us. You are
[00:29:11] the people who caused all the destruction and ruin. And I think there is some ambiguity
[00:29:15] in the definitions of the system. Perhaps I got a different impression from what other analysts said,
[00:29:19] and your understanding of the system is perhaps a little different.
[00:29:23] Does Bhatti Sahib want to add something? He asked this question, and
[00:29:26] it was absolutely correct, that if there is a debate, what's wrong with that?
[00:29:30] There's absolutely nothing wrong with debating.
[00:29:33] Then you made another point, that in other democratic countries,
[00:29:36] does it happen that an Interior Minister
[00:29:39] who is not affiliated with any party?
[00:29:43] Does it happen in any democratic country that any Finance Minister
[00:29:47] is not affiliated with any party? Okay, sir, do Prime Ministers
[00:29:51] who go to other countries go the way
[00:29:54] they go here? They would morally
[00:29:57] resign if the party gives them a vote of no
[00:30:00] confidence. They resign. Do other
[00:30:04] democratic countries have this, that parties are formed
[00:30:08] and broken in this manner? Governments are formed and broken. So I
[00:30:12] think we have a unique system.
[00:30:14] And when you are saying these things to the Interior Minister,
[00:30:17] and you are saying these things, then this is also a question
[00:30:21] between us, isn't it, that how did Shehbaz Sharif come? How
[00:30:25] was he brought? Are they brought like this in democratic societies? So the real
[00:30:31] and all that.
