00:00 Dr. Farooq Sattar, the director of MKM, is with us. Let's talk to him.
00:03 Thank you very much for talking to us, Dr. Sattar.
00:06 You agree with the government statement of the Minister of Interior.
00:11 First, he said that the media is exaggerating.
00:14 Second, he says that when the business is booming,
00:17 like shopping is happening in Ramzan, such incidents do happen.
00:21 So, is this enough reason for all this?
00:28 Yes, Dr. Sattar, can you hear me?
00:30 Dr. Farooq Sattar will talk to you.
00:34 Dr. Sattar, can you hear me?
00:36 Yes, go ahead.
00:39 Dr. Sattar, tell us, when the government statement came,
00:42 when the journalists asked him why the street criminals are so restless,
00:46 why are there so many incidents happening,
00:48 he said that business is booming, Ramzan is coming, shopping is happening,
00:52 so these incidents are happening more.
00:54 Then he said that the media is also exaggerating.
00:56 Exaggerating.
00:58 I think that the statement of the Minister of Interior of Sindh
01:02 is anyway a government of the Pakistani government,
01:07 and the people of Sindh, the landlords,
01:11 who have been ruling the people of Sindh for 15 years without any hesitation,
01:19 and are treating them like their own people,
01:22 like the slaves of the people.
01:25 So, this is another sign of his statement,
01:28 that instead of saying that we are trying, we are investigating,
01:34 we will reach there,
01:37 we should pacify people,
01:42 and not that the day will come when expensive lives will be sacrificed,
01:46 and anyone will be robbed by making a excuse of unemployment.
01:50 Now, this means that all these gangs who are looting,
01:54 who are doing this,
01:56 they are also working directly in the leadership of the government.
02:00 So, if in the entire Ramzan,
02:02 if in the 22 days till now, 11 people were martyred,
02:07 the youth, who are our future,
02:09 who were the sparkling eyes of a house,
02:11 who were the center of someone's hopes,
02:13 who are our future, who are our future,
02:16 if they are treated with a little bit of courtesy,
02:19 if they are treated with a little bit of courtesy,
02:22 and if an important minister of the government gives this statement,
02:26 then I think that after that it is decided that
02:29 maybe there is a law for the jungle,
02:31 but there is no law in Sindh.
02:33 This is the way the police state is made in its place,
02:36 and in this, the big people, the officials have decided
02:39 that Karachi should not be made its colony by forcefully killing it.
02:45 Okay, Farooq bhai, take my question as well,
02:48 that as you yourself said that these children,
02:51 when they are being abused,
02:53 those who are not being abused are also being killed, right?
02:55 Yes, absolutely.
02:57 I am saying that those who are not being abused,
02:59 they are also being killed mercilessly.
03:04 So, is this being done with a purpose?
03:07 By creating this fear and apprehension in people,
03:10 that in future, no one should come and show a fake gun,
03:16 then whatever they can do,
03:19 they will do it.
03:21 You see, the government cannot protect its own wealth, honor, and dignity.
03:29 After the 18th amendment, especially,
03:31 where there is sweet and sour, there is bitter and sour.
03:34 All the sweet things are being enjoyed.
03:36 Taxes of billions of rupees have been received from the central government,
03:39 new things have been received.
03:41 The image of the government is also on stake.
03:43 The government also wants us to be honest,
03:45 but why are they not able to do it?
03:47 This is a big question.
03:48 One more thing, Dr. Sahib,
03:49 the other day, on the side of Faisal Sabzwari,
03:51 the government was given the verdict of separation.
03:53 Is MQM Pakistan negotiating on this issue?
03:56 And are you thinking of taking this step on this issue?
03:59 No, I think Faisal's statement was like this,
04:02 and my statement is also like this.
04:04 If I suppose, I am giving something on some channel,
04:07 its purpose is our suspicion, our anger,
04:11 and also from the PMLN,
04:13 that if they are forced to,
04:15 that a large number of people are with the People's Party,
04:18 then they should be so much stubborn to the People's Party,
04:20 so much blackmailed,
04:22 that not only the regular offices should not be handed over to them,
04:25 and there should not be any discrimination in that,
04:27 but even if they do not take the ministries,
04:29 then also, they should be included in the government in every way,
04:33 in policy making, in decision making,
04:36 and MQM has only one thing, pricing,
04:39 so for that purpose,
04:41 a ministry should be given to MQM,
04:43 and that too should be given as per their wish,
04:46 and in that also,
04:47 from our own rights,
04:49 the urban areas,
04:51 should be given a lot of attention,
04:53 the importance of science and technology,
04:55 the importance of education,
04:57 a lot of work can be done in that,
04:59 but see, if we are written in the names of the martyrs,
05:02 and if this entire government does not move forward,
05:05 if it does not succeed,
05:06 if it does not achieve its goals,
05:07 then all its wealth and wealth will fall on us,
05:09 we will also be equal share holders,
05:11 so again, sweetly,
05:13 you take the big share,
05:15 and we will be cut off a small finger,
05:19 and we will be included,
05:20 and then we will be told,
05:21 that you are ready to take the entire wealth,
05:23 like we took the wealth of PDM 1,
05:25 which also affected our vote bank,
05:27 and obviously,
05:28 in the election,
05:29 it was not so easy for us to sail,
05:31 we were standing on our feet,
05:33 so these things,
05:34 our sacrifices,
05:35 and I was not in the MQ at that time,
05:38 but I was in the MQ,
05:39 but,
05:40 one thing is that,
05:41 the city of Karachi,
05:42 it had its own ecosystem,
05:44 the neighborhood committees,
05:46 sitting in the corner of the street,
05:49 of the boys,
05:50 and such things,
05:51 then we saw the barriers,
05:53 which were later removed,
05:56 so,
05:57 as a community in the MQ,
06:00 all those people,
06:02 who have an interest in this,
06:04 who have a stake,
06:05 can we talk about this,
06:07 that if the policing is less,
06:10 the population is less,
06:12 the people are more,
06:13 and the resources are less,
06:15 so,
06:16 can this type of community servicing,
06:18 be re-implemented?
06:20 I think,
06:21 there is no other way,
06:23 that such a big city,
06:25 which is increasing in population,
06:29 both the city and the nature,
06:31 which has recovered a little,
06:34 last year,
06:35 in the digital numbering,
06:36 it is clear,
06:37 so,
06:38 it means,
06:39 if all these things are kept in front,
06:41 if policing is not that much,
06:43 and if it is,
06:44 then it is not that much capable,
06:46 then,
06:47 if the community,
06:48 in today's time,
06:49 which is such a modern or big city,
06:52 which is a modern and democratic society,
06:54 where there is no community policing,
06:56 there is no neighborhood watch and ward,
06:58 where,
06:59 there is no community vigilance,
07:01 or participation,
07:03 then,
07:04 if in a neighborhood of 2000-3000,
07:06 5 motorcycles,
07:07 are given to the youth,
07:09 they should be enrolled as volunteers,
07:11 and their registration should be in the DC office,
07:14 and from every neighborhood,
07:15 there should be a regularity of the area,
07:18 the nature of the crime,
07:20 if all these things are there,
07:21 then,
07:22 this is a work,
07:23 we have been calling for this for 20-25 years,
07:26 but,
07:27 there should be some solution,
07:29 this is the only solution,
07:31 and then,
07:32 the government should either be a Mustafi,
07:34 or,
07:35 we will decide after Eid,
07:37 that if the minister and the minister-in-charge,
07:39 are failing in this,
07:40 and are saying that the loss of precious lives,
07:42 is a common occurrence,
07:44 then what can be your decision?
07:46 we condemn their thinking,
07:49 their misguidance,
07:50 and their criminal negligence,
07:52 we will decide,
07:53 we will mobilize the public,
07:54 and we will decide,
07:56 to save our children,
07:58 and to save the honor of our sisters and daughters,
08:01 we will mobilize after Eid,
