00:00 Pakistan has a very strict election system. Every election is held four years after the last one. In the US, elections are held five years after the last one.
00:11 So, it is very important to have a new voter who is under 18 years old.
00:17 Now, the Election Commission has announced that the voting period is extended to 25th October.
00:31 So, after 25th October, voting will not be postponed.
00:37 If you have a kid, sometimes it is not matching with your area, your address is old and you are living in a new house.
00:47 So, the Election Commission has obtained more than 8 lakh voters from the data.
00:51 Absolutely, they have obtained the data and now the data entry is going to make all these people voters.
00:59 All these people will be able to vote in the next general elections.
01:03 Now, we can see that the election campaigns are also going on.
01:10 And, the political parties are getting permission.
01:14 Muslim League Noon has got permission to hold the Jalsa on Minar-e-Pakistan.
01:17 And, District Administration of Lahore has given permission to hold the Jalsa on 21st October.
01:23 What will be the menu?
01:24 What?
01:25 Food.
01:26 Now, the question is that Nawaz Sharif will reach home in special preparations.
01:31 But, if he does not get relief, will he come for Jalsa or will he go somewhere else?
01:37 This is also a problem.
01:38 But, I was more focused on food because the last Jalsa was for Nawaz Sharif.
01:44 Now, Hamza Shahbaz has held the Jalsa and he says that the country is on the path of peace.
01:51 Now, there is no scope for mistakes.
01:53 It has become difficult for the people to eat two meals a day.
01:56 Basically, they will give a road map to get Nawaz Sharif out of the country.
02:01 Absolutely.
02:02 The conditions that the PM has set with the IMF, he has opposed them.
02:08 And, if in these 16 months, Shahbaz Sharif would not have used the agreement with the IMF again,
02:16 then the whole world would have completely disconnected from Pakistan.
02:20 Today, God forbid, there are situations that we cannot even dream of.
02:25 The dollar is worth 278 rupees.
02:28 In the era of Nawaz Sharif, the dollar was worth 105 rupees.
02:32 You will meet on 21st October at Minar-e-Pakistan.
02:39 Mohammad Nawaz Sharif will give a road map to get this country out of economic turmoil.
02:48 So, let's talk about this.
02:50 The PM and senior politician, Nayyar Bukhari is with us.
02:53 Thank you so much for joining us in the morning show.
02:55 Mr. Bukhari, please tell us that the Muslim League is very confident.
03:01 Firstly, they have got the permission to hold the Jalsa on 21st October.
03:05 Secondly, we have asked many times and the PM has a position that if Mr. Mian comes back,
03:12 then he will have to go to jail.
03:15 It is not possible that he will come to the Jalsa.
03:18 So, why is the Muslim League so confident that he will come and address the Jalsa and everything will be fine?
03:24 Thank you.
03:29 Firstly, this question pertains to the Nawaz League.
03:34 They can tell why they are confident.
03:36 What do you think?
03:37 But if you talk about the rule of law,
03:39 if you think that the law is unbiased,
03:45 then ultimately they will get relief from the court.
03:48 They cannot get relief from the executive order.
03:51 Because they were excluded from the court order.
03:55 And the court has declared them absconders.
03:58 So, they want to take a protective bail.
04:02 So, let's see if the courts give them a protective bail or not.
04:06 This is very interesting.
04:07 Primarily, protective bails are given to the under trial accused who come from abroad.
04:15 Many people got protective bails and then they got the opportunity to go to the proper court,
04:21 where there is jurisdiction and get their case.
04:24 But here their case is a little different.
04:26 They have been trialled and they have been convicted.
04:29 After conviction, the sentence was suspended for a specific period.
04:34 Conviction was not set aside.
04:37 But sir, Khursheed Shah is saying something else.
04:41 He is saying that Red Carpet is not the Noon League, but someone else is spreading it.
04:45 So, if we talk about this,
04:47 he is saying that Nawaz Sharif is doing backdoor politics,
04:50 Nawaz Sharif is doing deal.
04:51 These are the statements of your own party's Khursheed Shah.
04:54 So, you think they will get relief if they have the truth that Khursheed Shah is saying.
05:01 See, Khursheed Shah sir may have some information, but I think that this is a caretaker set up.
05:10 I expect and every citizen of Pakistan expects that the mandate of caretaker set up can assist in getting the election done.
05:23 These are day to day affairs.
05:25 If caretaker government will be involved in these kinds of affairs, then they will have a partisan role.
05:31 And I expect from caretaker government, on the level of loyalty and on the level of province,
05:36 that they should be non-partisan.
05:38 They should not support any political party.
05:42 And the solution to the problems of this country can be given by the elected representatives of the people.
05:46 Why will they support anyone? They are the ones who are in power.
05:52 I want to say that Khursheed Shah sir may have some information about this.
05:59 But I think that they should follow strict and strict laws.
06:06 Rest, giving relief is not the job of the executive.
06:10 If they turn to the court, it becomes their right.
06:12 And the court gives them relief or not, but such president, I don't think that there is any such president.
06:19 If the court wants to establish a new president, then it is the discretion of the court.
06:23 Okay, now tell me that in this situation, the permission of Jalsa was given and all this,
06:28 and even though it was a conditional permission, but it was given.
06:30 What is the People's Party doing now?
06:33 Obviously, it will be very important for you to show the public presence.
06:37 Absolutely, we kept on demanding 12 times that the election schedule should be given.
06:44 And a particular date should be given.
06:48 There is still ambiguity in this.
06:50 Okay.
06:51 That last week of January.
06:54 I think this is also our demand.
06:58 In fact, the meetings with the ECP were not held.
07:00 Our demand was that the schedule should be given.
07:03 The schedule has not come yet.
07:05 And if the schedule comes, then the Pakistan People's Party will definitely not leave its election campaign.
07:12 Sir, how long will you wait for the schedule to come?
07:15 90 days are being completed in November.
07:17 What deadline have you decided?
07:20 By when should the schedule come?
07:22 See, we were in a hurry, but now the ECP has answered the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
07:29 Because many cases are pending in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
07:33 And I understand that the responsibility of the KTK government is only to assist.
07:40 Now this case is in the courts and the ECP will have to answer
07:46 why they did not get the election done in 90 days.
07:50 It is answerable.
07:52 The requirement of the constitution was that the election should be done in 90 days.
07:56 Now, the justification of delimitation, I think, is not such a justification.
08:01 My opinion was that there was no need for such a delimitation.
08:05 Because the seats could not be enhanced or decreased.
08:09 Nor could one province shift to another province.
08:13 The number of seats had to remain the same as in Article 51.
08:18 That has been reduced.
08:20 And the delimitation is going under the Election Act.
08:26 So, I think they should have given the schedule.
08:30 And the election should have been done in 90 days.
08:33 The Election Commission will decide when to give the date.
08:37 The President cannot tell.
08:39 They will not be able to consult.
08:41 This debate has been held on many issues.
08:44 Undoubtedly, this debate has been held.
08:48 But all these issues are sub judice.
08:51 The Supreme Court can take a decision on that.
08:55 Because, as a political party, we can put our demands in front.
09:01 We can tell the institutions, the ECP.
09:04 But there is one thing.
09:06 Mr. Mukherjee, you are right.
09:11 You must remember that when the ECP used to say about elections,
09:15 no court used to say that it cannot be done.
09:18 Obviously, there is no money, etc.
09:21 Even then, the court had a decision that elections should be held.
09:25 Even the ECP had a court decision.
09:27 Even now, the matter is sub judice.
09:29 Do you think that a decision of that nature will be taken on this?
09:35 Now?
09:36 The first decision was made by the Supreme Court.
09:40 Why did the Supreme Court not make it happen?
09:43 This question should not be asked by the political party.
09:46 Or should not be asked by the executive.
09:49 If the Supreme Court could not implement its order,
09:53 then the Supreme Court is responsible.
09:55 And even now, we understand that elections are the solution to the problems of this country.
10:01 See, your democracy and parliamentary democracy will become dysfunctional.
10:07 After March, if half of the Senate is gone,
10:10 then your Parliament, National Assembly will not exist.
10:14 The Senate will be gone.
10:16 The Senate will also become dysfunctional.
10:18 The chairman of the Senate cannot continue in the office.
10:21 The deputy chairman of the Senate cannot continue in the office.
10:25 Therefore, you will have to get these elections done.
10:31 If you think that the constitution is a big deal,
10:34 if you want the supremacy of the constitution,
10:36 then these elections are very important.
10:39 So that your parliamentary democracy can become functional.
10:44 Thank you so much, Nair Bukhari.
10:46 He was with us at the People's Party.
10:48 He was giving his opinion.
