00:00 Ali Saffar sahib, I would like to take your legal advice first.
00:03 What is the legal and legal status of the documents presented in the Senate?
00:07 First of all, I would like to say that by passing such a resolution and by passing the resolution in this way,
00:18 not only the Senate, not only Pakistan, but all the Pakistani citizens in the world have been freed.
00:28 And the reason for this is that your constitution clearly states that you have to hold elections in 90 days.
00:39 Members of the Senate, I am also a Senator, are considered intellectuals and understand the constitution.
00:47 If we pass such a resolution which is against the constitution,
00:52 then you are saying that we should throw the constitution and pass the resolution.
00:59 This is very interesting and the way to pass a resolution is a little different.
01:10 First, it comes in the order of the day, a day before, and then there is a debate on the resolution.
01:16 And the person says something, then the resolution is passed.
01:22 But in today's order, point of order or list, this resolution was not at all on the agenda.
01:31 In fact, when it was 12.30 pm and there was a break for the day,
01:37 then the topic was not left on the agenda, there was a discussion on the resolution.
01:45 And to bring this resolution when the forum is not present, people are not present, there is no debate,
01:54 then it is meaningless.
01:56 And this is totally against the procedure, the law, the constitution.
02:03 I can present you with a solution.
02:06 In my view, I am a very serious politician and although the Senate session has been pro-rogue,
02:14 but I would call it again and I would call it with like-minded senators.
02:21 And this resolution, which you have passed under the strategy of Chandra Prasad,
02:29 we will challenge it and bring its counter-resolution.
02:34 The elections should be held on 8th May, and they have already been held more than 90 days.
02:42 And this resolution will be called and this resolution will be passed.
02:49 Majority of the senators are very happy that the elections are taking place.
02:54 They are in favor of the constitution and they are not against it.
03:00 So I am very sorry, but anyway, every person has a committee, a solution, a solution.
03:07 So I have told you the solution and I have also told you the strategy.
03:12 This resolution is meaningless in my view, it is against the constitution and a few people have done it.
03:18 Do not call it the Senate's resolution, otherwise the Senate and the Pakistan will be destroyed.
03:24 Mr. Ali Zafar, the Supreme Court has clear instructions that the elections should be held on 8th February.
03:30 How do you see this resolution being presented in the presence of this order?
03:34 Look, there is no link between the Supreme Court and the Senate.
03:38 The Senate is a supreme body, it passes its own orders, it is not a matter of contempt.
03:48 It is not a matter of contempt or questioning the Senate on passing the resolution.
03:56 The Senate can pass its own resolution, but there is a law, a resolution, which says that
04:04 you cannot talk about the case that is pending in the Supreme Court or is being heard in the Supreme Court.
04:10 It is not a matter of contempt, but I say that it is not a matter of the Supreme Court's judgment.
04:18 It is a matter of the Senate and the Constitution, that the Senate can pass a resolution against a constitution.
04:26 As far as the Supreme Court's order is concerned, it is in its place and it cannot affect the resolution of any kind.
04:34 First of all, I do not understand this resolution, it is a case, but in any case, whatever you say,
04:44 it does not affect the judgment, it does not affect the decision, nor will it affect the election.
04:50 The election, God willing, will affect the entire art, as the Supreme Court has said.
04:56 There is no legal status of the resolution.
05:00 Only those who are sitting with me, who are in the session, have an opinion.
05:08 And the point to be seen is that from whom and what are their backgrounds, which political party do they belong to,
05:16 this is a very interesting issue.
05:18 And you should also probe this a little.
05:20 Okay, Mr. Ali Zafi, as you said that you will present a resolution against this resolution,
05:26 but the resolution of the Senate has been pending for an indefinite period.
05:30 So, do you intend to go to court now?
05:32 I said that a requisition, a process is done, if your senators make a requisition together and call back the judge.
05:44 It can be called back.
05:46 There are two very important points to call the judge.
05:49 One is this resolution, to counter this resolution, and the other items on the agenda that were missed,
05:57 the session has been postponed.
06:02 So, this will be a debate in the Senate.
06:05 There will be a resolution in the Senate.
06:07 There is no justification for going to court.
06:10 Okay, Mr. Ali Zafi, I would like to ask you one thing.
06:13 When these resolutions were presented, was there a senator from the PTI present there?
06:17 And if there was, was there any opposition to them or was there silence?
06:21 No, there was no opposition.
06:23 As I told you, there was no agenda, so there was no discussion that this would come.
06:30 When the debate was over at 12.30, no one said that this resolution was coming.
06:38 Otherwise, the democratic party that is taking this resolution, they would have postponed it.
06:51 So, I say that this is a way of life, that it is very strange and poor.
06:56 And it does not matter that the reputation of the Senate matters.
07:01 The reputation of the people, the reputation of the Senate, it matters.
07:11 The reputation of the senators who are sitting, who actually want to work, it matters to them.
07:21 But there is no impact on the economy.
