00:00 Do you think our political parties are democratic?
00:03 Iqral Bhai, I believe that the politics of Pakistan is that our representatives are travelling from one place to another and telling us that this is how politics and democracy work.
00:18 In 2004, a woman from Pakistan came to the shrine of Qaid-e-Azam and wrote in the guest book that "Fulfill the dreams of Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah of Pakistan".
00:31 Her name is Adina Wadia, she is the daughter of Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
00:36 If you can imagine, how big a dream she wrote that "Fulfill the dreams of Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah of Pakistan".
00:46 What was that dream?
00:48 That dream was that there was a democracy.
00:50 Who were the people in the democracy?
00:52 Those people who were honest, loyal and who were steadfast.
00:56 Not that they went from one place to another when they found a lollipop.
01:01 This is not how politics works, nor is this how democracy works.
01:04 Democracy never goes up like this.
01:07 You can look at the history or look at the democracy of people all over the world.
01:12 Democracy does not work like this.
01:14 Democracy does not exist in Pakistan.
01:16 How can democracy exist?
01:18 Common people, common people do not talk.
01:21 This politics goes on with or without any relation.
01:24 So how can we believe this politics?
01:26 In the book of Amjad Islam Amjad, he says that there are thousands of searchlights all around us.
01:34 Some places have open gates, some places have closed crossings.
01:37 But in front of our eyes, there are hidden curtains.
01:41 We are unaware of our path. We are wandering in loneliness.
01:44 Then he says, what is the age of our happiness?
01:47 What is the age of our sorrow?
01:49 We are walking on the path of air with a candle in our hands.
01:55 Democracy is walking on the path of air.
01:57 We keep our hands on our eyes.
01:59 People keep their hands on our eyes.
02:01 They show us the way, let's go.
02:03 We keep our hands on our eyes.
02:05 We are walking on the path of destruction.
02:07 He says that the cold chambers of our bodies are burning with the flame of death.
02:12 From 1947 to now, you can see.
02:16 What is the matter?
02:18 Why should this 20-year-old youth not be emotional?
02:21 I agree. I agree with you.
02:22 But now, a fundamental point has come up.
02:24 And I would like you to negate each other's point.
02:27 Today's youth have become so desperate for their current status.
02:32 We think that the political orbit of Pakistan,
02:35 when you talk about the political system of the metropolitan city,
02:39 and the political system of the religious community,
02:41 you don't see a change in it.
02:42 Today, everyone in their own house,
02:44 everyone who votes for their own religion,
02:46 everyone who votes for their own community,
02:48 everyone who plays the religious card and buys votes,
02:50 I think that is not happening today.
02:52 This means that Pakistan is moving towards a strong direction.
02:55 Then on the other side, you talk about democracy.
02:57 Democracy is from the people.
02:59 The people of Pakistan, the youth like us, are Pakistan.
03:02 If we don't take a stand today,
03:05 if we become political and only increase our sorrows,
03:09 and their tears will continue to flow,
03:10 then I think that Pakistan will not go in one direction.
03:12 Do you have an answer from this?
03:14 They think that in the villages, in the villages, in the cities,
03:18 you don't feel any change.
03:20 If you want to give an answer.
03:22 I would like to say something about this.
03:24 He said that in the communal relations,
03:27 many votes are not taken in the name of religion.
03:30 We have many such examples.
03:32 Even today, we have such examples.
03:33 Some time ago, in 2020,
03:35 we had an election.
03:37 Zimni election.
03:39 I don't remember the name of that election.
03:41 But there, after taking help from the Quran,
03:45 votes were bought for a specific amount.
03:49 And this is still going on.
03:50 We are in the upcoming elections.
03:52 We have promised to give 1 to 5.
03:54 It was on the welcome.
03:56 I don't know why it was not given.
03:58 I would like to say about this that
04:00 in Pakistan, the number of young people is 68%.
04:05 And they are the 5th largest in the world,
04:08 in any country, young people.
04:10 But if you see, they are not getting jobs.
04:12 Those young people are becoming conscious.
04:15 They need something to eat.
04:18 And this consciousness is leading to the spread.
04:21 If consciousness leads to productivity,
04:23 then we would believe that
04:25 this consciousness has come.
04:26 These things have been brought to life by consciousness.
04:28 And the people have started doing this work.
04:30 This is a very fundamental point.
04:32 We see more of the affirmed on the topic of consciousness.
04:34 We say that consciousness has come.
04:35 We focus more on this.
04:36 Tell us about the productivity that has come from consciousness.
04:39 We see that in 2018,
04:41 we had made our government.
04:43 But by the end of the government,
04:45 people started to think it was bad.
04:47 Because of Usman Duzdar.
04:48 There were many other factors.
04:49 People had already realized this.
04:51 This means that the politics of your cult,
04:53 or the politics of your popularity,
04:55 is not so strong that you can brainwash people.
04:57 This is a productivity of consciousness.
05:00 So what do you think?
05:01 Will it work for you in the future?
05:02 I will say this.
05:03 They say that our problem is who to joke with.
05:05 Old friends now ask for respect.
05:07 If this process of respect continues,
05:09 or if we do not want to respect,
05:10 we want to go against,
05:11 if the process of opposition continues,
05:13 then we will believe that
05:14 someone has been on the stance,
05:16 and while being on the stance,
05:17 he has brought this change.
05:18 Then maybe the narrative of this person
05:20 will give us consciousness.
05:22 Okay.
05:23 I want to add something.
05:24 You were talking about consciousness,
05:25 that people have become conscious.
05:26 You were talking about productivity.
05:27 We saw that the consciousness that came,
05:29 only caused damage to the country.
05:31 When we go towards extremism,
05:33 that consciousness does not remain conscious.
05:35 The second fundamental thing is that
05:37 if you believe that consciousness has come,
05:39 that we are leaving the community,
05:41 then when your community leaves,
05:43 then why does your Punjabi community
05:45 or other communities not leave to support them?
05:47 This is why we think that
05:49 this is not the consciousness of your people.
05:51 The third thing is that
05:52 when such things start coming to your people,
05:55 then that thing remains constant throughout the time.
05:58 But we see that
05:59 that thing did not remain constant.
06:01 And the fourth thing is that
06:02 I will add to this,
06:03 that your politics,
06:04 in which consciousness comes,
06:05 even today, in the present era,
06:07 for 5 years or the last 18-20 years,
06:09 if democracy is going on in your country,
06:11 you believe this,
06:12 then we still see that
06:13 votes are found on the same foundations
06:14 that were found 20 years ago.
06:15 That we will fix your roads,
06:16 we will fix your drains,
06:17 or we will do this work of yours.
06:19 Let's take this.
06:20 If you want to answer this,
06:22 then is there really a vote on community even now?
06:24 Is there a vote on your beliefs even now?
06:27 Or will the drains be made on these same foundations?
06:29 Will the roads be made?
06:30 Will there be a swelling?
06:31 Or has there been any change in reality?
06:32 Mr. Iqbal, I will also come to your point,
06:34 but before that I want to say one more thing,
06:36 that a system that has been built for 76 years,
06:39 it does not break in a few years.
06:41 Now you see that
06:42 the people have started to leave.
06:44 Now the people have accepted this,
06:46 the people have accepted this,
06:48 that if something has to be changed,
06:50 then we will have to make some sacrifices for it,
06:51 or we will have to lose something.
06:52 You asked whether votes are found on the community or not.
06:54 Now we see in many places
06:56 that the people vote on their beliefs.
06:58 That is, in their community,
06:59 people have fights on the fact that
07:01 you do not have to vote for someone,
07:02 you have to vote for someone,
07:03 because that is our community.
07:05 But now through media and social media,
07:07 the people have understood this to a great extent
07:09 that the community or its sect
07:12 or any of its people,
07:14 or the people of the community,
07:15 do not vote for anyone on the basis of their beliefs.
07:17 Do you think that this time,
07:19 in the 2024 election,
07:21 the decision will be based on the views of the people?
07:25 Or do you think that the same brotherhood will be there,
07:28 the same incentives,
07:29 that who will bring money from the house,
07:31 who will feed biryani,
07:34 and who will distribute food?
07:36 No, I think that the people have become so smart
07:38 because I belong to Shekhupura,
07:40 and there, once,
07:42 during the last MPS elections,
07:44 I got a chance to go to a place,
07:46 where people were contesting from PTA,
07:48 but later they went to Munharif and Non League.
07:50 So there, we saw the people
07:52 who were sitting there and eating food,
07:54 and their language was that
07:55 if they eat food from here,
07:56 they will vote for PTA.
07:57 And the people have become so smart.
07:59 The second thing,
08:00 the question you asked,
08:01 is that the situation in this country
08:03 that is going on now,
08:04 and the way we are evolving,
08:06 I believe that,
08:08 Anatole Levin wrote a book,
08:10 Pakistan A Hard Country,
08:12 in that, he had explained everything about this country,
08:14 that what is the issue
08:16 that this country did not come out of.
08:18 Meaning, this country endured all kinds of oppression.
08:20 He said that we cannot come out of two issues,
08:22 the issue of water, the issue of electricity,
08:24 the issue of climate change,
08:26 which we are not coming out of,
08:28 we are not coming out of the economic crisis.
08:30 Let's talk about this now.
08:32 I believe that if we have so much hope,
08:34 that all the nations are formed in this way,
08:36 that they evolve,
08:38 that evolution is a process of formation of a nation,
08:40 if we have come to this stage today,
08:42 where the voice is being raised for the Balochis,
08:44 and the voice is being heard openly,
08:46 then we are not in 2018 or 2013 at all.
