[00:00:05] September 27.
[00:01:19] and that's why they were honorably
[00:01:36] issue, which is gaining
[00:01:49] Doctor Maria, you know
[00:02:00] Also, with us from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is Mr. Naim Haider Panjota.
[00:02:03] okay? The whole point So, Naim Sahab, of course, I will start off with you.
[00:02:07] Please tell me that on
[00:02:10] September 27th, many questions are being raised
[00:02:14] that it was said
[00:02:18] that whenever there would be an announcement for such a long march,
[00:02:21] it would be done by Mr. Achakzai and
[00:02:25] Mr. Nasir. We will not do it. That is, PTI will
[00:02:28] not do it. These people
[00:03:00] The thing is that it is at a turning point, just like terrorism
[00:03:03] has reached all over Pakistan to Islamabad. Economic
[00:03:06] terrorism, at this time, you can see inflation has
[00:03:10] arrived. How is poverty
[00:03:13] increasing? Pakistan's debts and here, jet planes
[00:03:18] decisions is being trampled upon at this time, and who knows what else is being done. On the third side, you can see violations of fundamental human rights. If someone needs to be put in
[00:03:22] jail, if someone needs to be shot, whatever needs to be done, for them,
[00:03:26] it has become such a ready tool that they just use it, and
[00:03:30] it doesn't even make a difference to them, and they say that they don't feel
[00:03:33] any pain in their hearts. The fourth thing is that if democracy
[00:03:37] is looked at in Pakistan, the condition of democracy is also before you, the
[00:03:41] sanctity of Parliament is also before you. In Kashmir, there was a recent election. What
[00:03:44] did their allied party say? How was it robbed
[00:03:48] on February 8th? And this situation is facing all of Pakistan. So when
[00:03:52] there is such a situation that the law and order situation is bad, the country's
[00:03:56] economy is ruined, there is no democracy in the country.
[00:04:49] will, because they talk about negotiations,
[00:05:02] it will be our first step because he is the one who, due to false cases, has been put in jail. And it is
[00:05:06] Imran Khan who can lead this on the right path, for which there is a struggle. And
[00:05:11] she criticizes Insha'Allah, you will see that 27
[00:05:42] the internal differences you have, because of them, you have taken
[00:05:46] such a long time. Alima Sahiba is also saying that you are making us wait a
[00:05:50] lot. So, it's not clear yet. You started by saying that this country has many problems.
[00:05:53] Elections, economy, you listed all
[00:05:57] of them. Then you are coming to his release. There are already
[00:06:01] differences within your party on that. Alima Sahiba is saying, "No one took her into
[00:06:04] confidence." Earlier, it was said that if any long
[00:06:08] march was announced, it would be done by Allama Nasir Abbas Sahab or
[00:06:42] that for Imran Khan's release, we should take one step further. So, we have taken one step
[00:06:46] further and given the date of September 27th, but this date is not that
[00:06:50] long. If you look at it, it's just a matter of days in the next
[00:06:53] month. It doesn't take long. He has been unjustly
[00:06:57] imprisoned for three years. And if such preparations involve a full power,
[00:07:00] all the arrangements for washrooms,
[00:07:04] transport, food, everything needs to be done
[00:07:07] so that we can come prepared to achieve our objective.
[00:07:11] Hmm.
[00:07:19] Even if there is a little time, Insha'Allah, that time will pass.
[00:07:23] And in the meantime, we will make full preparations. And Halima Apa also, if I tell you, she was
[00:07:27] with me yesterday. She absolutely said on this matter that
[00:07:31] she doesn't understand this date. That is, she thinks the date is a bit long, but at the same time, when she asked
[00:07:35] if I was not satisfied with this date, and if I was not consulted,
[00:07:38] she said, "Yes, in such matters, we do consult."
[00:08:13] As a governing party,
[00:08:16] do you have any concerns or at this time, any insecurity or
[00:08:20] any issue that you feel they might come and
[00:08:24] create problems for you? Or do you currently
[00:08:27] believe, as there is a lot of talk from your government camp
[00:08:31] that their own house is very divided, that this one-and-a-half-month timeline
[00:08:35] is perhaps more necessary for them to organize their own ranks
[00:08:38] than for the government? Because when this announcement was made,
[00:08:42] none of the party's central executive leadership
[00:08:46] was present at the rally in that way, nor were
[00:08:49] they informed. Now, Mr. Panjota is talking about their coalition partners,
[00:08:53] whether it's Mr. Achakzai or Allama Nasir
[00:08:57] Abbas Sahab, he says they are on board, whereas neither has there been any statement from them
[00:09:01] nor from their party. So, how do you see this? You have been
[00:09:05] a part of PTI. Does this point towards
[00:09:08] the internal differences? And then everyone to cover up, just like
[00:09:42] anyone understands who is running this party.
[00:09:46] You absolutely said it right in the intro that they tell us
[00:09:50] that Achakzai Sahab and Nasir Sahab will lead
[00:09:53] the entire party, but they themselves say
[00:09:56] that if we said anything according to our
[00:10:02] that if we said anything, then
[00:10:05] we would be dismissed the next
[00:10:08] day. So, who is calling the shots? Can someone tell me?
[00:10:17] she is running the party, which seems apparent because whatever action plan
[00:10:20] is presented before us,
[00:10:23] it.
[00:10:37] are there, those who are present, a handful of people, and where are they?
[00:10:40] Where are those 10, 20 thousand organizational office
[00:10:44] bearers of yours? Where did they go? Why don't they
[00:10:47] come? Although they have given a date to their MPs
[00:10:50] and MNAs that on that day,
[00:10:54] at Dila,
[00:12:55] they should give an answer to this question. Well, it's quite interesting. Right now,
[00:12:58] I want to ask Mr. Panjota, because we were talking
[00:13:02] that Mr. Mehmood Khan Achakzai is on board, and Allama Sahab is also on board.
[00:13:06] I will ask him later if his own
[00:13:10] Sheikh Waqas Akram Sahab or Salman Akram Raja Sahab are also
[00:13:14] on board or not, because their statements are somewhat different. But
[00:13:17] right now, I have a statement from Mehmood Khan Achakzai Sahab
[00:13:21] on Twitter, which he posted from his account four days ago.
[00:13:55] This statement was made by him approximately on the third or fourth
[00:13:59] of the month. So, you know, effectively,
[00:14:02] he is on a different tangent, Mr. Sanchota.
[00:14:04] Sir,
[00:14:07] look, there are two or three things you have said, and similarly,
[00:14:11] Uzma Sahiba has her own stance, her own
[00:14:14] party. She can hold a different view, she has her own opinion. But I don't
[00:14:18] say that she cannot express her opinion.
[00:14:21] She can, but I will definitely answer her, because in our
[00:14:50] he defeated the leader of Noon League, their chief Nawaz Sharif, by a lead of 77,000 votes. So he is such a leader whose name is
[00:14:53] synonymous with victory.
[00:15:25] So he says, "Congratulations," but arrange a meeting for me. And he says
[00:15:29] that he doesn't have the authority. So, those who don't have the authority
[00:15:32] to run the government, to make governmental decisions, who take directions from
[00:15:36] elsewhere.
[00:15:42] Maryam Nawaz Sahiba and Nawaz Sharif Sahab and all other people, their cases have been acquitted by the courts.
[00:15:46] All the cases that were made against them, the courts granted them relief.
[00:15:50] They should also seek relief from the courts. You took NRO 2, you took
[00:15:54] NRO 1. You made a deal and a deal, you made
[00:15:57] a lean plan, a plan that Imran Khan had mentioned,
[00:16:01] that this plan has been made to put me in jail and give them power, and under this deal, you
[00:16:05] amended NAB overnight .
[00:16:37] where is it, how far does it reach? We had estimated it,
[00:16:41] and who knows, seven or eight billion dollars was the talk at that time.
[00:16:45] So, even if you couldn't do anything, you could have at least
[00:16:49] made some progress at that time. Look, listen, leave Shehzad Akbar's talk aside.
[00:16:52] Their own people talk about
[00:16:55] them. No, sir, but it was your government, right? You had
[00:16:59] time. You should leave your allies aside. Okay, there you say
[00:17:03] there's been some confusion. What was here about the Avenfield Apartments, all
[00:17:07] those
[00:18:37] and judges who talked about justice were either sent home,
[00:18:41] or someone's fake degree case was made, and someone was told
[00:18:44] that if you don't rule in our favor,
[00:18:48] your brother will be picked up. And many judges also wrote letters. So, who doesn't
[00:18:52] know about all this? The respect for judges'
[00:18:56] that they say that if you go to meet Khan Sahab, they don't let you.
[00:19:00] In Adiala Jail, they say that the judge can do whatever he wants to spoil our case. So,
[00:19:03] do you think such a system, in such an environment, before such a judiciary,
[00:19:07] is free to make its own decisions? They are not
[00:19:11] even allowed. The judge who orders Imran Khan's release
[00:19:15] will be picked up the next day. Okay, so you have
[00:19:18] examples. My brother was picked up for 28 days. So, who doesn't
[00:19:22] know about this? Okay, sir,
[00:19:24] first, I want to respectfully disagree with you.
[00:19:28] You talked about PTV. The amount of time you get to speak
[00:19:31] is the same amount of time other guests get. This PTV
[00:19:35] is not like what Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had at the time, where if someone dissented, they would
[00:19:39] be taken off air or their words would not be shown. If you
[00:19:43] don't get a chance on screen to present your views, then do so.
[00:19:47] Otherwise, I protest. You have made a completely wrong
[00:19:51] statement. Having said that, you don't want to respond to my point
[00:19:54] about Shehzad Akbar, who was such a big
[00:19:58] accountability czar you brought in. What
[00:20:02] did he do, and where did he take things? Then, as far as the judiciary is concerned, do you remember
[00:20:05] that poor judge whose great
[00:20:37] your party benefited, so then you
[00:20:45] definitely like to ask Uzma Sahiba one thing. Uzma Sahiba, there can be
[00:20:48] differences on other things,
[00:22:00] won. So they have no answer because they only
[00:22:03] have assumptions. Because all those cases were bogus,
[00:22:09] acquitted. Now I come to your question
[00:22:12] that why don't you allow meetings?
[00:22:15] Dr. Maria, her thousands of meetings have already taken place. I said
[00:22:19] it exactly, don't say it, don't create it. How many have happened in the last one year?
[00:22:22] Just tell me how many. No, look,
[00:22:26] the thing is, sir, that they should approach the courts. If
[00:22:29] they think they don't get justice, then they should go to court.
[00:22:32] And if the court orders it... Now look, the
[00:22:36] Superintendent of Jail follows some rules and regulations.
[00:22:39] Aliyah Khan has been told repeatedly that
[00:22:43] when you go to meet a brother, don't
[00:22:47] spread chaos outside.
[00:22:50] Don't give political statements to the media. Now, Rani
[00:22:54] meets him, but the other sister doesn't come out and
[00:22:58] act like that. One sister goes and meets her brother, but the rest of
[00:23:02] their lists, which their General Secretary brings,
[00:23:05] according to those lists, their meetings happen. Not
[00:23:09] everyone gets to meet. They let those they want meet,
[00:23:13] and those they don't want, they don't let meet. So,
[00:23:16] this is a rulebook, and
[00:23:20] there are all the rules and regulations of the prison.
[00:23:23] And what about the others? Now tell me, do the
[00:23:27] others eat country chickens cooked in desi ghee?
[00:23:38] implemented. Even lawyers cannot meet. Salman
[00:23:41] Sabdar Sahab Correct.
[00:23:44] He met in February. He came out and didn't say anything like that, he didn't
[00:23:48] do any propaganda.
[00:24:15] So go there, approach them, and if the courts allow them, then they can
[00:24:19] come and meet.
[00:25:52] meetings could not happen, and it is absolutely clear that we
[00:25:56] have not only gone to Adiala multiple times, but we have also filed
[00:26:00] various petitions in the courts.
[00:26:02] various contempt of court applications have been filed, but despite
[00:26:06] filing these applications, the court has not
[00:26:08] given orders.
[00:26:11] You should get it done. The court knows that
[00:26:14] the orders are not being acted upon before
[00:26:17] they are even given. So, the courts have unnecessarily, without
[00:26:20] justification, disposed of some petitions. The next day, there was
[00:26:24] also a petition, and you saw that the case
[00:26:27] proceeds, but no order is given. We kept
[00:26:31] talking about Khan Sahab.
[00:27:04] They have transferred and appointed judges like Rogor who are acting according to
[00:27:08] their wishes. If they are not acting, then arrange a meeting.
[00:27:16] in February, Salman Safdar Sahab went as a friend of the
[00:27:20] court and he told everything. He again presented
[00:27:24] the actual situation in detail, point by point, about the
[00:27:27] hygiene, what was being cooked in the kitchen, what was shown, he also said that
[00:27:31] he talked many times. Send someone you trust
[00:27:35] so that again, this
[00:27:39] momentum again, that his health is not good or Alia's health is not good, at least
[00:27:43] it should be rectified or
[00:27:46] negated. negated.
[00:27:52] that all prisoners
[00:27:56] are treated according to the jail
[00:27:59] manual. Salman
[00:28:03] Safdar Sahab went,
[00:28:06] is that Khan Sahab, if he has
[00:28:09] any health issue daily,
[00:28:12] six to seven doctors check him.
[00:28:16] He has masseurs, he has his own cooks,
[00:28:20] he has every kind of facility.
[00:28:23] He has a TV, newspapers come, he eats his favorite food.
[00:28:27] The only problem is that he doesn't... Okay, let me
[00:28:31] just ask you this then. You said that all prisoners are operating under the jail manual,
[00:28:34] right? You said in jail, there is
[00:28:38] a... I request you, even if you don't have it now,
[00:28:41] please tell me next time which such prisoner
[00:28:45] has been there for 270 days and is not allowed to meet anyone.
[00:28:49] If there is such a prisoner, please tell me.
[00:28:52] Doctor Maria, I just told you
[00:28:55] that when these meetings happen,
[00:28:58] they are given an instruction that
[00:29:32] The law enforcement agencies can tell you, or the jail
[00:29:35] superintendent can
[00:30:10] Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif's visit to Saudi Arabia. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz
[00:30:13] Sharif departed from Madinah Munawwarah for Pakistan after completing
[00:30:17] his visit. Governor of Madinah, Prince Salman bin
[00:30:21] Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, bid farewell to the Prime Minister and the Pakistani delegation
[00:30:23] at the airport.
[00:30:58] statement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
