00:00 We are in Jadamala, in the SP office, and here are many members of the city's government,
00:05 people from various departments, the leaders of the Sunni Jamaat are also with us,
00:11 and the representatives of the Peace Committee of Jadamala are also here.
00:14 Let's talk about how this happened, what are the emotions of the people,
00:19 what is their situation, and what are the expectations of the law, police and the courts of the city's government.
00:28 Assalamu Alaikum, how are you?
00:30 Look, the Holy Quran is a matter of respect and respect for the Prophet.
00:35 It is possible that a Muslim has emotions, and he doesn't have any worries or problems in his heart.
00:41 And Alhamdulillah, most of all, those who are serving the Holy Quran,
00:44 they are more concerned about the Holy Quran than us.
00:47 And we have read Alama Iqbal's quote, "We were humiliated in the time of the Muslims."
00:51 "We were humiliated by the Holy Quran."
00:54 "We stopped reading the Holy Quran, we stopped understanding the Holy Quran, we stopped our relationship with the Holy Quran."
00:59 "We have become distant from the Holy Quran, and this is the result."
01:02 "Then I will say that our nation, our children should read the Holy Quran,
01:06 they should understand the religion, and they should read our culture, our Islam, the Holy Quran."
01:12 "The teachings of the Prophet, may Allah have mercy on him,
01:15 you have told us throughout your life, how you want to spend your life,
01:20 how you want to behave with others."
01:22 "This incident happened around 5 in the morning."
01:25 "After 5 in the morning?"
01:26 "Yes, after 5 in the morning."
01:27 "After that, when the FIR was going to be filed, I was there, I was present at that time."
01:31 "But after that, if the police would have come on time,
01:34 after 5, after 9, after 10, the procession of the Jalawat-e-Araf started around 11 or 12."
01:42 "So if the police would have come on time, they would have taken care of the church,
01:46 they would have given protection there, and others."
01:48 "So this incident would not have happened."
01:50 "This incident was done to suppress the truth."
01:55 "So you have been arrested, have you been concerned about being arrested?"
01:59 "Arrested?"
02:00 "Have you been arrested, or have you been held?"
02:02 "The arrest that they have done, a lot of people have been arrested."
02:06 "And on what basis have they been arrested, are they telling you anything?"
02:11 "No, they have not given any evidence."
02:14 "They have arrested some simple people sitting on the streets,
02:18 and on what basis have they been arrested, they have not told us anything."
02:22 "So you are not 100% sure that you have been arrested?"
02:24 "No, no, we are 100% sure."
02:25 "The situation right now, it seems like the Christians and Muslims are facing each other."
02:29 "Now they will return to their homes, they are the same neighborhood, they are the same city."
02:34 "So how are the scholars, especially the religious scholars,
02:37 who are innocent, and the Muslims, who are obviously full of emotions,
02:44 how will they live with each other?"
02:47 "First of all, to bring the situation back to normal,
02:52 the Friday prayers, we have contacted the religious scholars."
02:57 "And all the religious scholars will talk about both."
03:02 "So our conversation with the SP, Bilal Mehmood,
03:07 of course he did not want to talk on camera,
03:10 but he said that up to 150 people have been arrested after all these riots.
03:17 He also said that some people were arrested on the spot,
03:20 when they were doing all this.
03:24 The rest of the people, the video evidence,
03:27 which is circulating on social media,
03:29 which the police obtained, and the CCTV cameras,
03:33 on the basis of those videos, the arrests were made.
03:36 They also showed me how a person who was identified in a video,
03:41 after obtaining his identification card or data,
03:44 the arrests were made.
03:46 And some arrests, of course, they said, are still going on.
03:50 The police's response was, "I would definitely like you to reach."
03:53 The police said that when the arrest was made,
03:56 the first call was made at 8.05 pm.
04:00 The first official complaint, or the first official information,
04:04 was made at 8.05 pm.
04:06 But by 7.45 pm, the SP had already reached the people.
04:11 He immediately involved the people of the Amul Committee,
04:14 he immediately called the religious scholars,
04:17 and the priests, the religious leaders of the Christian community,
04:22 and an agreement was signed in the SP office,
04:26 according to which the religious scholars had to take responsibility
04:29 to disperse the people, to try to stop them from being identified.
04:33 And the police took responsibility for the police to immediately file an FIR,
04:38 to arrest the accused.
04:40 And of course, the Christian community's supporters were requested
04:43 to cooperate in this matter.
04:45 So ultimately, when the agreement was made,
04:47 it seemed that the matter would not get worse,
04:50 and perhaps this was the reason that the police's response
04:53 was not very prompt in all this.
04:56 But when this agreement was being signed here,
04:59 and the incident took place at that time,
05:01 the church and the other buildings were being searched.
05:06 And of course, because the root cause of the problem was not very clear here,
05:08 and according to the magnitude of the incident,
05:11 until the information is clear from the outside,
05:13 this mob cannot be controlled by these people.
05:18 But it is certain that the response time was unfortunately not as good as it should have been.
05:25 All the Pakistani viewers who are watching this program,
05:29 I request you all, we are all doing our best with our Christian brothers,
05:32 whether it is about social media, whether it is our gatherings,
05:35 our gatherings, our conversations,
05:37 we all admit that it is very unfair.
05:39 I have seen my sister go up the stairs, kissing each step.
05:43 And I can understand that just as our holy places, our mosques,
05:46 our shrines, our shrines,
05:48 we also offer our hearts and souls to each step.
