[00:00:00] It is the responsibility of the government. Undoubtedly, the Prime Minister
[00:00:03] has made many offers. But it's not just about making offers.
[00:00:07] For that, a lot of effort has to be made, a lot of struggle has to be made.
[00:00:10] A lot of effort has to be made. Secondly, you
[00:00:14] see that you are saying that we are giving relief to the people.
[00:00:17] Viewers, with this hope And why isn't there an impact on the people?
[00:00:20] Firstly, as I said, when government
[00:00:23] departments, whether federal or provincial,
[00:00:27] are corrupt, and the way they harass
[00:00:31] traders, industrialists,
[00:00:35] and the entire business circle, the hatred against the government
[00:00:38] increases. Similarly, you have a
[00:00:42] crisis. In this crisis,
[00:00:46] you are present in the form of a government.
[00:00:49] You buy a plane that has created a whole controversy for you.
[00:00:53] The provincial government has bought it, and more money has gone to
[00:00:57] the provinces. The province and Islamabad are one
[00:01:11] you protect the diplomatic area,
[00:01:25] Sahib said that there is no magic wand
[00:01:39] and the same today. Similarly, you see that when
[00:01:42] a common man sees that there are chief ministers,
[00:01:45] governors, ministers, senior
[00:01:49] ministers, Dr. Sahib, they are like us, aren't they?
[00:01:52] When large convoys of protocol pass by,
[00:01:55] and they blow smoke in people's faces,
[00:01:58] okay? They are in large, safe,
[00:02:03] But when rulers, with their actions, bulletproof cars, but the hatred of the people
[00:02:05] an advantage in the fight increases, and the intensity of emotions
[00:02:09] arises in people that what is the country,
[00:02:12] what is the economy, where are we sinking,
[00:02:16] but their protocols do not stop. So I think that overall,
[00:02:21] I have also said this in your program that becomes a separate topic, there is a long discussion on it.
[00:02:24] On
[00:02:27] a letter, we are saying relief that you have
[00:02:31] one rupee, 1006
[00:02:33] rupees relief. In that too, you see where
[00:02:36] else you can make cuts for it.
[00:02:39] In the political arena, So you should give the economy such a message
[00:02:43] that the whole circle runs. Now people
[00:02:46] produce products, give them to the market,
[00:02:50] and don't get their money back. Businesses are collapsing.
[00:02:54] Social problems are increasing with great
[00:02:57] intensity. So this is a very
[00:03:00] serious matter, and Jamaat-e-Islami
[00:03:04] has not taken a single step forward
[00:03:08] in this political turmoil. We are drawing the government's attention
[00:03:11] to public issues with full reasoning,
[00:03:14] full seriousness, and civility.
[00:03:18] But when butter doesn't come out with straight fingers, then
[00:03:22] people vomit themselves. How will Dr.
[00:03:25] Sahib deal with their protest?
[00:03:30] Because on one hand, you people say that they are noble people,
[00:03:34] disciplined people. They will
[00:03:37] not hold any event. So will
[00:03:40] their march be allowed or
[00:03:43] will you stop it? I will just make
[00:03:47] two points and then come directly to your
[00:03:49] then what will happen? question. The request is that as
[00:03:54] decision clearly Mr. Baloch said, he thanked us for the negotiations that took place with us,
[00:03:57] and he declared them serious and meaningful.
[00:04:02] And he said that the government carried them out with great care and attention.
[00:04:05] As far as the matter of public is concerned,
[00:04:08] look, I have a bit of a
[00:04:12] concern that in Jamaat-e-Islami's sit-ins, public participation
[00:04:15] and mobilization is low. Their own workers
[00:04:19] are certainly present there. As for the
[00:04:23] ongoing negotiations, as you asked,
[00:04:26] sir, if they reach a logical conclusion,
[00:04:30] then I think they should be allowed to reach it. When
[00:04:34] and behind it, you bring a sit-in and a movement
[00:04:37] and block the street, then the element of civility
[00:04:41] ends. Then it's a power struggle,
[00:04:44] and I am always against power struggles in politics.
[00:04:47] needs. Now you said how will they deal with it in Islamabad, the three dates coming up,
[00:04:51] for the system, the doors of the Prime Minister that is, 23rd, 25th and
[00:04:55] the Turkish Foreign Minister said 27th. Look, we have
[00:04:58] two options. One option is that we leave Islamabad open,
[00:05:02] whoever comes here, brings their march,
[00:05:05] and sits wherever they want. After that, that march, many times in the past,
[00:05:09] you have seen that they become uncontrolled mobs.
[00:05:13] Then those groups also commit violence here, and after that,
[00:05:17] public or private property is also damaged. Your studio here
[00:05:20] has also been attacked, you know, glass was broken,
[00:05:24] and all during these marches that political parties have done in the past, and especially PTI, there is no harm in taking names.
[00:05:27] Then after that, the leaders disassociate themselves from those workers
[00:05:31] who participate in such activities when their pictures and videos
[00:05:35] are shown that we have no connection with them. So option number one
[00:05:39] is whether Islamabad can be left open.
[00:05:43] Islamabad cannot be handed over to any mob.
[00:05:46] Firstly, there is a civilian population of seven to eight lakhs here.
[00:05:50] Overall, there are 25 to 30 lakhs in Islamabad. Then the biggest thing is that
[00:05:53] your embassies are here. All your diplomatic corps
[00:05:56] are sitting here. The whole world is watching
[00:05:59] what is happening in Islamabad. Sadi Sahib, I will tell you an administrative
[00:06:02] thing. That when
[00:06:05] you have to stop a mob, you cannot stop them at the gate of the diplomatic area.
[00:06:09] If they are coming from KPK, you have to stop them at Attock.
[00:06:13] If they are coming from Punjab, you have to stop them at Rawat.
[00:06:17] If they are coming from Murree side, you have to stop them at Bara Chhattar.
[00:06:20] Only then, thinned out,
[00:06:24] the red zone. So this is the second
[00:06:28] option, and of course, we will go with this option, and at this time,
[00:06:31] the clear directions in the High Court's decision
[00:06:35] to the administration of Islamabad are that the freedom of movement of the citizens
[00:06:39] of Islamabad in their public places,
[00:06:43] protect them, protect their rights, and no one is allowed
[00:06:46] to disturb the peace and order situation of Islamabad and the citizens here.
[00:06:50] Look, what the High Court has said is about the constitutional
[00:06:53] rights of the citizens of Islamabad. You have constitutional rights,
[00:06:57] I have constitutional rights, sir has constitutional rights.
[00:07:01] Can I, by raising the slogan of my constitutional rights, infringe on your constitutional rights?
[00:07:04] None of us three can. My constitutional rights extend
[00:07:08] to not infringing on your constitutional rights. One umbrella
[00:12:00] once again to the Jirga. Mallow
[00:12:04] Sahib, the High Court's decision
[00:12:07] stated that no one has the right
[00:12:11] to block the roads of Islamabad. So how will
[00:12:15] you people ensure that no road in Islamabad is blocked?
[00:12:18] The problem is that the High Court's decisions are,
[00:12:22] of course, court decisions. We respect them very much.
[00:12:28] stop people's livelihoods,
[00:12:31] shut down people's stoves,
[00:12:33] stop people's entire movement,
[00:12:37] and create the worst problems
[00:12:41] for people, then I think that
[00:12:44] there is a bigger decision than the High Court's decision,
[00:12:48] which is the Constitution of Pakistan. And the Constitution of Pakistan
[00:12:52] says that people's food security should be ensured.
[00:12:55] There should be safety for people. There should be employment for people.
[00:12:59] There should be fair distribution of resources for people.
[00:13:02] This elite will get all these things from a march.
[00:13:06] Obviously, if a targeted
[00:13:10] subsidy, as they are saying, we
[00:13:13] targeted solutions that are in the interest
[00:13:16] of the country, in the interest of the people,
[00:13:20] for the relief of the people, then it has its effect.
[00:13:23] Even then, the rulers of IPPs were not listening. Dr.
[00:13:27] Sahib is present. In the first two
[00:13:31] rounds, we spent our time on saying, "No, just talk."
[00:13:34] But when the talks started,
[00:13:37] today there is a relief of
[00:13:41] 4300 billion rupees. And there will be more relief
[00:13:44] as we move forward. This is for the benefit of the country.
[00:13:48] Meaning, in the past too, these wrong decisions were made.
[00:13:51] And all the IPP projects were set up at a higher
[00:13:55] rate, wrongly set up. They were not according to capacity,
[00:13:58] and they are useless. But you don't do that work,
[00:14:01] you don't take electricity, you are making payments to them.
[00:14:05] But when, in view of the reasons you have stated, you will not implement
[00:14:09] the High Court's order, if the road is blocked,
[00:14:14] I think we will neither block the road nor trouble the people.
[00:14:18] We will provide relief to the people, God willing.
[00:14:20] How far will your march come? Will it come to Islamabad?
[00:14:24] No, Islamabad is a big Islamabad, isn't it? Will it come to D-Chowk?
[00:14:26] Or will it come to China Chowk?
[00:14:30] Or will it come to F9 Park? Everyone wants it to come
[00:14:34] to D-Chowk. Okay, at D-Chowk,
[00:14:37] people's problem is that Islamabad
[00:14:41] belongs to everyone. Now, if people
[00:14:45] don't get relief from Islamabad, if Islamabad's
[00:14:47] wrong policies make people's lives difficult,
[00:14:50] and people are committing suicide,
[00:14:53] a great social disaster is unfolding,
[00:14:59] where the political crisis has its own effect, the effect of stealing the electoral
[00:15:03] mandate in democracy, but along with that,
[00:15:06] a major economic impact is creating
[00:15:10] great unrest among the people. At this time, our
[00:15:14] issue is to create ease for the people.
[00:15:18] Let's sit tonight, let's solve this problem today,
[00:15:21] let's give relief to the people. We will reconsider
[00:15:25] our protest. Okay, Dr.
[00:15:28] Sahib, Jamaat-e-Islami wants to come to D-Chowk.
[00:15:31] So will you allow them to come to D-Chowk?
[00:15:34] Yes, on one hand, Jamaat-e-Islami wants to come to D-Chowk and sit there,
[00:15:38] and on the other hand, they are also saying that we will not block
[00:15:41] any road in Islamabad. So these are two contradictory statements.
[00:15:45] Sitting at D-Chowk, even if there is a crowd of a few hundred people here,
[00:15:49] Islamabad is a square,
[00:15:52] D-Chowk is the main traffic artery of Islamabad. And with people's presence here,
[00:15:56] Islamabad is divided into two parts. Those who know Islamabad
[00:15:59] know that it creates such a huge inconvenience for people
[00:16:03] that at least no government allows it.
[00:16:07] Secondly, even if your marches
[00:16:11] have been peaceful, still, no risk can be taken
[00:16:13] for the safety of the families, houses, and population
[00:16:17] in Islamabad that you allow any mob to
[00:16:21] enter the streets of Islamabad city. One
[00:16:25] question of mine, which you have more or less already asked Mr. Baloch,
[00:16:28] is whether choking Islamabad, I will put it in simpler words,
[00:16:32] will choking Islamabad solve all these problems?
[00:16:35] If you choke Islamabad,
[00:16:37] will new resources emerge after that?
[00:16:41] Will we get a magic wand? Look, these
[00:16:45] problems need resources to be solved.
[00:16:49] And to bring resources, I said earlier that no individual
[00:16:52] is in that position at this time because
[00:16:56] they say that earlier, under such pressure, you people solved the IPP problem.
[00:17:00] No, it could
[00:17:03] be Jamaat-e-Islami's flattery that it was done under pressure.
[00:17:06] The opportunity for that arose because proper dialogues
[00:17:10] and negotiations were held with them, and the agreements
[00:17:13] they had were renegotiated, and
[00:17:16] Mr. Low Sahib rightly said that Pakistan got a relief of
[00:17:20] more than three thousand rupees in this, or in the coming
[00:17:23] years, they will benefit from it. So what I am saying
[00:17:27] is that there is a need to pay attention to the shortage of resources.
[00:17:31] This problem will not be solved by sticks,
[00:17:34] nor by showing each other
[00:17:37] who will dominate which city, and who will gain
[00:17:42] or power struggle with the federal government.
[00:17:45] These problems will not be solved by this, but will increase.
[00:17:49] So, regarding national harmony, you also said that it is the responsibility of politicians.
[00:17:53] I fully support this statement of yours.
[00:17:58] that it is the responsibility of politicians that we handle all these
[00:18:02] situations. Tell me which party,
[00:18:06] leaving Jamaat-e-Islami aside, which other party
[00:18:10] is not in the government in different provinces and the federation of Pakistan?
[00:18:13] So realize this responsibility.
[00:18:17] oppose each other politically,
[00:18:19] but
[00:18:22] a family, Sahib, whose monthly
[00:18:26] income is low,
[00:18:30] and whose expenses are much higher than that,
[00:18:33] will always be in a state of distress. They will manage from here,
[00:18:37] from there, and this is the condition of Pakistan, our home.
[00:18:40] No, it is our home, but Liaquat Baloch Sahib
[00:18:44] says that its constitution allows them
[00:18:47] to. So they want to come to D-Chowk.
[00:18:51] So will your government and peacefully, but
[00:18:55] they want to come to D-Chowk peacefully, so
[00:18:58] will you use force to stop them?
[00:19:02] See, they can also be stopped without using force. We have absolutely no
[00:19:05] intention of using force
[00:19:07] or creating a confrontational situation. We would be the last people
[00:19:11] to even think of any kind of fighting or any kind
[00:19:15] of tension on the streets. But if the Constitution
[00:19:19] allows protest,
[00:19:22] then the Constitution also places a responsibility
[00:19:25] on us to maintain the law and order situation here.
[00:19:28] The High Court's
[00:19:31] gives directions to the Islamabad administration
[00:19:35] that you cannot leave Islamabad open. Whoever comes here,
[00:19:39] occupies any place they want, sits wherever they want,
[00:19:43] and after that, it is not so easy to restore
[00:19:46] the normal life here. Why did Rana Sanaullah Sahib say
[00:19:50] that we will treat them like terrorists? Look, in Islamabad,
[00:19:53] I have said, Safi Sahib, that the history of peaceful marches,
[00:19:57] especially of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, shows that their marches
[00:20:01] are violent, there is violence in them.
[00:20:05] In fact, there are some such footages and intelligence information
[00:20:09] that we had before, and even now, the information is not very good.
[00:20:13] Many people have been involved in it, stick-wielding people have also been involved in it.
[00:20:17] They are carrying sticks and committing violence here.
[00:20:20] If this is not
[00:20:23] terrorism, then what is it? Terrorism is what someone who is carrying out
[00:20:26] suicide bombings or detonating bombs is doing.
[00:20:30] Whoever takes the law into their own hands, based on their power,
[00:20:34] whether it's a stick, or any weapon in their hand,
[00:20:38] denying the rights of another citizen is terrorism.
[00:20:41] If your media goes out of its bounds,
[00:20:45] it is media terrorism. So Rana Sahib's
[00:20:49] statement does not mean that they are terrorists,
[00:20:52] but that they are outright terrorists. Do not infringe on the rights of others.
[00:20:56] Okay, Baloch Sahib, have you people applied
[00:20:59] to the Islamabad administration for permission?
[00:21:02] Yes, we have submitted the application. There has
[00:21:06] been a telephonic conference
[00:21:10] with them. There were some engagements.
[00:21:14] Later, they said that we have a meeting of the whole country tonight.
[00:21:17] So maybe a meeting will take place tonight or tomorrow at some time.
[00:21:21] Look, Safi Sahib, Dr.
[00:21:24] Sahib, as a political worker myself, I believe
[00:21:27] that peaceful political, constitutional, democratic
[00:21:31] struggle is the beauty of both democracy
[00:21:35] and politics, and it becomes the strength of
[00:21:38] politics and democracy. If any party resorts to violence,
[00:21:42] it creates harm for itself and for the country.
[00:21:46] The biggest casualty is democracy and
[00:21:48] a political process. Therefore, political
[00:21:51] parties also have their own responsibility
[00:21:55] to keep things peaceful. It is a misfortune that when political
[00:21:59] parties themselves do not organize themselves,
[00:22:02] when they do not strengthen a democratic
[00:22:06] process within themselves, then things slip out of their own
[00:22:09] hands. Secondly, Dr.
[00:22:15] to solve these problems. The problem is that a magic wand is not needed.
[00:22:18] What is needed is vision, targets,
[00:22:22] and their execution. And as I said, we have
[00:22:26] identified what possibilities are available
[00:22:30] in all the budget documents. And no one has rejected it.
[00:22:34] That's why I think that for this, there is no magic wand,
[00:22:38] but a vision and actions and
[00:22:41] decisions. And
[00:22:44] if the government wants to give relief to the people,
[00:22:48] then this protest becomes a great strength for them.
[00:22:50] Okay, I wanted to know if you people
[00:22:53] will protest for one day or
[00:22:57] if you will come and sit at D-Chowk and hold a sit-in.
[00:23:00] We will come.
[00:23:03] If they give relief to the people at that time, we will salute
[00:23:06] them and go back. If they don't give it,
[00:23:10] then they will also be accountable, won't they?
[00:23:13] Then you will keep sitting. We will try.
[00:23:17] Okay, after that, Dr.
[00:23:21] Sahib, they are not just protesting at D-Chowk, but they are holding a sit-in here.
[00:23:25] Here. Please,
[00:23:28] please. The problem is that D-Chowk is a
[00:23:31] symbol. If a place is decided
[00:23:35] for a peaceful protest anywhere in Islamabad,
[00:23:39] Rana Sanaullah Sahib repeatedly said,
[00:23:42] "Just come to the park, come and sit there."
[00:23:46] The offer was from them too.
[00:23:50] So I think it is possible that a place
[00:23:54] will be agreed upon by the government and you people. An Islamic meeting will be held,
[00:23:57] and if anything is agreed upon with them in the meeting,
[00:24:00] and if our team here fundamentally
[00:24:04] makes a decision with them, we will abide by that decision.
[00:24:07] Dr. Sahib,
[00:24:10] the request is that we have never claimed,
[00:24:14] I am talking about the government, that we are omniscient.
[00:24:17] And
[00:24:19] the governance that exists at this time cannot be improved.
[00:24:23] Both things can happen. Governance can be improved,
[00:24:26] the flaws in the system can be removed.
[00:24:30] Honorable Baloch Sahib just mentioned
[00:24:34] many flaws in the system, apart from the petroleum issue.
[00:24:38] Obviously, the debate has spread to various
[00:24:41] topics. Multiple leakages and all have
[00:24:45] been discussed, and reforms have been discussed, how can they be done in the system?
[00:24:48] So I would say that
[00:24:51] in one sitting or one or two
[00:24:55] negotiations, neither all these reforms can be done,
[00:24:58] nor all these issues of governance,
[00:25:01] leakages in the system, and everywhere, as I said before,
[00:25:04] and it's on record, if you look at all these things that happened today,
[00:25:08] then the issues of the federal government in it
[00:25:12] will appear less to you, and the matters related
[00:25:15] to the provinces will show more issues and problems.
[00:25:19] The provinces are ours too, the federation is everyone's.
[00:25:23] So in one sit-in or one long march, you want to fix
[00:25:26] all these things, from petroleum to taxation and corruption,
[00:25:30] all the things that have been discussed, I will not repeat them again.
[00:25:34] So this is not possible in this way.
[00:25:37] If you want to give your positive input
[00:25:41] are always open. The ministers are sitting with you,
[00:25:45] you yourself admitted it with great sincerity. So take these things in that direction.
[00:25:49] And if there is a sit-in here or if Islamabad is choked,
[00:25:52] I have already discussed this in detail. Our senior
[00:25:55] leadership, meaning senior ministers, are sitting
[00:25:59] together, and if there is a place
[00:26:03] where the movement of people and daily life is not disrupted,
[00:26:06] then they should sit there. Okay, our prayer is that you can satisfy
[00:26:10] them, and neither these people should be tested,
[00:26:14] nor the citizens of Islamabad, nor their workers.
