00:00 Welcome back, you are watching Khususi Transmission.
00:08 A regional election is taking place across the country.
00:10 There are 21 constituencies, including the National Assembly and the Subahi Assembly.
00:14 We are sharing the results with you.
00:18 We are now back with Chakwal.
00:21 The PPP is 22.
00:22 The winning seat of PMLN, Sardar Ghulam Abbas has left it.
00:27 The main competition is between the Noon League and the Sunni Taat Council,
00:33 which is run by Nisar Ahmed, a candidate for PTI.
00:36 Ali, have you made any progress so far?
00:41 If we know the results, when will they be consolidated?
00:49 According to the people we spoke to, 18 polling stations have received the results.
01:00 The Noon League has received 6177 votes, while the Sunni Taat Council has received 4977 votes.
01:12 We have not been able to consolidate the results because of the internet connection issues.
01:23 We came to the RO office to find out the results and the winning candidates.
01:32 But the RO office has been shut down and the media is not allowed to broadcast.
01:38 When we were coming from Talagang to Chakwal, the main road was also closed.
01:47 The road to Chakwal is also closed.
01:52 The RO office is not accessible.
01:54 There is no internet service here.
01:56 You can contact people through mobile phones.
01:58 We are contacting people from different areas.
02:03 We have received the results of 18 polling stations.
02:08 The results should have been more because these are small areas.
02:12 The people who win the elections bring the results.
02:18 The results should have been more.
02:20 The results are less.
02:22 The media is completely shut down at the RO office.
02:27 We are not allowed to go there.
02:34 We will wait for the administration to give us the results.
02:40 Mr. Nazeer Bhatti, before we talk about the elections in Lahore, please tell us about the campaigning.
02:46 Mr. Tarik Khan has campaigned a little.
02:49 Mr. Marwat has also campaigned a little.
02:52 Has PM LN campaigned actively or is it based on the progress of Mariam Nawaz?
03:05 As far as the election campaign is concerned, the political situation is very bad.
03:14 The MPs and political parties are mostly involved in the elections.
03:22 The local leadership is not involved in the elections.
03:36 Neither is the Null League nor is the Sunnitat Council.
03:40 The Sunnitat Council was allowed to hold a meeting on the last day.
03:44 Mr. Marwat has said that he came here and gave a speech.
03:48 He was also given a notice by the DCU for a press conference.
03:53 So, there was no such campaign.
03:56 On the last day, the Pakistan Party and the Muslim League's joint candidate, Shoaib Siddiqui,
04:05 took out a rally and the rally was a little bit of a walk away.
04:11 In Lahore, the situation is still the same.
04:15 There is a competition between the Sunnites and the PTA.
04:18 But there is very little chance that it can be challenged.
04:24 They have campaigned on a local level.
04:30 The Sunnites are in a very good position to win.
04:36 But the Sunnites are in a very bad position to win.
04:44 The situation in the RO offices is not good for the media.
04:51 Thank you very much.
04:54 Our reporters have informed us about the situation.
04:58 We will share the results with you as soon as they are available.
05:01 We are waiting for the results to be collected and collected.
05:06 We will wait for the results to be collected and collected.
05:17 Mr. Khabar, we can see that there are many seats that the Sharif family has kept on their own.
05:23 There are four seats in which Hamza Shahbaz has one seat,
05:28 two seats are left by Mr. Shahbaz and one by Mrs. Mariam Nawaz.
05:33 In the last two and a half months, we have seen that there is a lot of debate and a lot of different thinking in the PMLN.
05:42 There is a lot of talk about Mr. Mian Javed Latif, Mr. Nawaz Sharif was made PM and Mr. Shahbaz Sharif was made PM.
05:50 We will get to know about the PMLN voters' opinion about the election results.
05:55 Has the confusion of the last two and a half months confused them or is it clear?
06:00 We can discuss this election from two or three perspectives.
06:06 One is that the Punjab has a two-third majority of Pakistan Muslim minority.
06:11 The result of which we are waiting for is that what perception will be built?
06:20 Is the Pakistan Muslim League now ruling in Punjab, especially Mrs. Mariam,
06:25 the Sasi Roti scheme, they have 20,000-22,000 motorbikes for the youth.
06:30 And you can see the actors, left, right, front, back, they are all showing themselves as active administrators.
06:36 And they are telling people that I have come to serve you.
06:41 On the other hand, the Sunni Council said that we have been defeated by Farm 47, so we will reassert our position.
06:51 Now the biggest problem here is that people have voted for a political party or not.
06:58 The biggest question mark that is raised on that is the election commission, which is very respectable for us.
07:07 The election commission said that before the 24th, 8th February election,
07:14 do not worry, we will keep all the results in front of you at 10 pm, at the max, till 2 pm.
07:18 After that, whatever happened, it is part of the history.
07:21 Now this was only for 21 years.
07:23 And now who is raising questions? We are not saying that anyone has voted for it or not.
07:29 Now the reporters on ground are saying that we are not getting the results.
07:35 But at the time, Farm 45 was very light, tell people that so many polling stations,
07:40 like Gujarat has come, we are seeing that the results of some other elections are coming very quickly.
07:45 Now here, I think that the role of the election commission, frankly speaking,
07:51 I don't understand why they are doing this.
07:54 That unnecessarily, you have done a simple exercise.
07:59 I agree that on the day of the general election, there was a lot of exercise, there were reports,
08:03 God forbid, there could have been a law and order issue in the country, you closed the internet,
08:08 you closed the cellular servers, even today, you have done something with such issues.
08:15 For God's sake, give the results.
08:17 Now if you don't give the results on time in Lahore, then what will be the result?
08:20 Now this debate should have been on this point, which is your fundamental question.
08:26 That what will be the result of this, what will be known from it,
08:30 people's opinion will be known, how people are perceiving Marjum Sahiba,
08:36 how people are perceiving the Sunni Hand Council's statement.
08:39 But we are on the other side, our reporters are saying that a water cannon has been erected there,
08:43 the media has been removed, they are not telling us, and this is on this.
08:47 And then obviously, when the result will not come on time, people will raise questions on it.
08:52 So I think we can appeal to the election commission.
08:55 I have heard that our chief election commissioner had gone to Brazil.
08:57 If you talk to the people of PMLN, because when there is a discussion,
09:01 they are very emotionally invested in this election.
09:04 Because according to them, the results of these 5-6 sessions, especially in Lahore,
09:08 which is the core of PMLN, depend on the political strategy.
09:14 Apart from this, there are some other sessions, like Surki, Narowal,
09:19 PMLN wants to recover the shock it has received in Punjab in the last election.
09:25 So this election is important for them, but obviously, if you talk to them,
09:30 they say that the governments go out of their way.
09:34 But this election, these are winning sessions.
09:37 All of this, winning is…
09:39 Look, if I were Maryam Nawaz Sharif, if I were the chief minister in her place,
09:45 I would have said free and fair to Sunitha Hath Council,
09:49 tell me where you want to hold the election, at what place.
09:53 I would have made all the arrangements there,
09:55 at Minar-e-Pakistan, Garhishaho, Samnabad, Dungi Ground,
10:02 whatever place you want, in Kusur, come and hold the session.
10:06 I would have given them a free and fair election run.
10:09 After that, I would have ensured, being the administrator of the province,
10:13 that there would be no problem in my presence.
10:19 Do you remember, when there was a problem in Daska,
10:22 I said that if after 10 pm…
10:23 You ran a very bad campaign for PM Modi.
10:25 If the results didn't come, then…
10:26 Because of her single-handedly campaign, the election…
10:29 People supported her.
10:30 So, in my opinion, she should have come as an administrator,
10:35 she should have met the Election Commissioners.
10:37 I said, whatever happens on 8th February,
10:40 the election tribunal will continue to work on it.
10:43 But now, because I will be the one who will be affected,
10:45 if the result of the election in Lahore is delayed,
10:48 then as the Chief Minister, I will be asked questions.
10:51 Like the administration, the DCOs, the police, everyone is present there.
10:56 So, I think it would reflect poorly on the Election Commission
11:01 and the Government of Punjab,
11:04 that if the results are coming from other places,
11:07 why are the results not coming from Lahore?
11:09 What is happening in Gujarat?
11:11 This is very interesting for me.
11:12 But in Gujarat…
11:13 Where there is a difference between the Musa-e-Ilahi,
11:15 the uncle versus the nephew.
11:17 Regardless of the on-ground situation,
11:22 my comment on this is that,
11:25 the way the election was conducted,
11:29 the question marks were there,
11:30 now Saleh and his other brother,
11:32 both brothers have got ministries in the federal level.
11:37 So, on-ground, they have resources.
11:40 And you know, for example,
11:42 a village councilor knows that there is a federal government and a Punjab government.
11:48 And they are here to say for the next 3 years, 4 years, 5 years,
11:51 however long it takes.
11:53 So, maybe people have…
11:55 The absence is there.
11:58 Mr. Parvez Lai is inside,
12:01 Mr. Munas is outside,
12:03 they have tried.
12:04 But on-ground…
12:06 Munas has his own ministries in Lahore.
12:08 But the complaints that are coming from him,
12:12 the campaign that was conducted by Munas Lai's mother and his aunt,
12:17 the complaints that are coming,
12:19 obviously, there should be an on-ground investigation on what happened and what didn't.
12:24 But I feel that,
12:26 because they have a government,
12:28 the Punjab government,
12:29 and they have a ministry in it,
12:30 that might have influence.
12:32 I think we should take a break here.
12:34 After the break, we will try to,
12:35 along with that,
12:38 take the views of the various political parties.
12:40 We will contact them,
12:41 about the election trend,
12:44 their concerns regarding polling,
12:46 and also the results that are coming out.
12:47 We will decipher them as well.
12:48 Stay with us after the break.
12:49 Welcome back, you are watching this special transmission,
12:55 Zimni Intikhab,
12:56 which is gathering the results of the national and provincial assemblies
12:59 on 21 systems across the country,
13:01 and we are sharing them with you.
13:04 But we also have to see the voting trend.
13:06 The political parties,
13:08 obviously,
13:09 have an inward approach as well,
13:13 where they are standing after every election.
13:16 So, regarding this election,
13:18 I think it is important to take the views of the political parties.
13:21 We have with us,
13:22 PMLN's Bilal Kiani.
13:23 Thank you very much, Mr. Kiani,
13:24 for joining us.
13:25 First things first,
13:26 how important is this Zimni Intikhab?
13:29 If I ask you about PMLN,
13:31 that a Zimni Intikhab is being held a few months after the general election,
13:36 especially Lahore,
13:37 which is an important place,
13:38 where you have 3-4 seats from there,
13:40 and some important seats from Central Punjab.
13:42 So, what are your thoughts on the importance of this election in the banks of PMLN?
13:48 Bismillah-e-Akbar-e-Imrani Sahiba,
13:50 thank you for having me on this transmission.
13:52 Yes,
13:53 as a political party,
13:55 and as a main political party in Pakistan,
13:58 every election is important for us.
14:01 But these seats that you have mentioned,
14:04 whether they are in Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, or Narowal,
14:09 all of them definitely have a special significance.
14:13 These are the seats from where we win in the elections on 8th February,
14:17 and these seats have been vacated
14:20 because some of our candidates left 2 seats,
14:23 or they left the seats of the Subais,
14:25 or the National Assembly.
14:27 So, these are the seats that we win.
14:29 So, it is definitely important for us
14:31 that we claim these seats again in the elections,
14:35 and win these seats again.
14:37 And you can see,
14:39 the results that are coming,
14:41 which we have also followed,
14:43 which are also being broadcast in the media,
14:45 in almost all of these seats,
14:47 the Muslim League is still ahead,
14:50 which is confirming the victory on 8th February.
14:54 So, in your election cell,
14:57 if I ask you how comfortably you claim,
15:00 that how many seats are being won by PM LN comfortably,
15:03 what will be the figure?
15:05 Yes, honestly, I am not really too,
15:09 because I am not involved in that exercise.
15:12 That is why, I have also,
15:14 the feedback that we have received from some candidates,
15:18 that is from my conversations with some colleagues,
15:21 otherwise, the media that we follow,
15:24 across all channels, if you see,
15:26 the majority of the circles,
15:28 where we were winning,
15:30 there are more heavy seats,
15:33 and some are less.
15:35 But more or less, we are ahead in all the places.
15:38 And we hope that in the same way,
15:41 the final result will also come in these seats.
15:43 In comparison to the general election,
15:45 this election was a small exercise,
15:47 but a significant one,
15:49 and the government had to shut down the internet.
15:51 Especially, if we talk about the big cities,
15:54 what is the reason?
15:56 There were only a few seats,
15:58 and if it was a security issue,
16:00 it was also easy to manage,
16:02 as compared to the general elections.
16:04 Shutting down the internet is a common practice.
16:06 Why did it happen?
16:08 Yes, honestly,
16:10 in the security issues,
16:12 shutting down the mobile service,
16:14 you know, in our country,
16:16 there has been a debate for two decades,
16:18 whether it is a Jalsa Jalus,
16:20 or a Muharram,
16:22 or a foreign delegation visit,
16:24 or a cricket match, or elections.
16:26 Now, if this becomes a norm,
16:28 then we all want that our infrastructure
16:30 and security arrangements
16:32 should be on the same level,
16:34 as in other countries,
16:36 so that there is no need for it.
16:38 But unfortunately,
16:40 security is still important,
16:42 and the interior ministry
16:44 or the state system decides on these things.
16:46 Secondly, unfortunately,
16:48 as you saw today,
16:50 in Zafarwal,
16:52 our worker,
16:54 Ahmed Iqbal,
16:56 who fought for the election,
16:58 was killed.
17:00 And there have been similar incidents today.
17:02 Some news from PTI,
17:04 I am talking about what has been reported in the media,
17:06 that there were explosions,
17:08 and there were attacks,
17:10 and especially,
17:12 this is a very sad incident.
17:14 I saw in the media,
17:16 that they have been arrested,
17:18 the Mullahs,
17:20 in the market.
17:22 It is a violent crime,
17:24 the law should take action.
17:26 But when the internet is shut down,
17:28 you can understand better,
17:30 because in the constituency elections,
17:32 you personally fight for elections,
17:34 not only do voters have a problem in coming,
17:36 when the communication is cut,
17:38 then in the entire election process,
17:40 all kinds of voters are discouraged.
17:42 Is this a matter of concern?
17:44 If your voter is confused,
17:46 then...
17:48 Yes, of course,
17:50 unfortunately,
17:52 I have presented a background,
17:54 how this is done with security arrangements,
17:56 which is unfortunate,
17:58 but you are right,
18:00 that for me as a candidate,
18:02 or for any candidate,
18:04 it is a problem,
18:06 because you have to contact
18:08 your polling stations,
18:10 your polling agents,
18:12 your team,
18:14 you have to convey things,
18:16 if there is an issue,
18:18 if there is a voter list issue,
18:20 then it is definitely a difficulty,
18:22 and an inconvenience.
18:24 But unfortunately,
18:26 at the end of the day,
18:28 this decision is made by the security,
18:30 and the election commission,
18:32 primarily, obviously,
18:34 is its ambit,
18:36 so as a result,
18:38 whether it is elections,
18:40 or processions,
18:42 or foreign delegation visits,
18:44 or cricket matches,
18:46 we do not need to switch off
18:48 our mobile phones,
18:50 and put up signs to block the roads,
18:52 but unfortunately,
18:54 we are not at that stage yet.
18:56 Okay, Mr. Kaini,
18:58 I am talking about Khabar Ghuman,
19:00 before the elections of February 2024,
19:02 the KTEC was in power,
19:04 and all the responsibilities were
19:06 on the PM, and all the administrative matters,
19:08 now, obviously, in Punjab,
19:10 you are sitting with a heavy majority,
19:12 2/3rd,
19:14 and in Lahore, you saw the way
19:16 the campaign was carried out,
19:18 and now we know that the results are not being received there,
19:20 so don't you think that,
19:22 it would reflect very poorly
19:24 on the part of PM alone,
19:26 that you should have,
19:28 I think, moved forward and done such arrangements,
19:30 along with the election commission,
19:32 that, O Allah, we are a democratic party,
19:34 and this democratic exercise that is going to take place,
19:36 we would like to give people
19:38 a chance to come out,
19:40 and vote for whichever political party they want to vote for,
19:42 and at the end of the day,
19:44 like now, there are questions and questions,
19:46 that, O Allah,
19:48 because this happened,
19:50 there were security issues,
19:52 the police did this,
19:54 so this is a bit unnecessary,
19:56 and PM should have been proactive
19:58 in this regard.
20:00 Yes, Mr. Ghuman,
20:02 I would like to make a request,
20:04 that all the news that I have followed today,
20:06 relatively speaking,
20:08 our political environment and elections,
20:10 if we look at it from that perspective,
20:12 I have not seen
20:14 many issues like that,
20:16 where you have seen,
20:18 the most sad incident is that,
20:20 where the workers of Pakistan's
20:22 Muslim League were killed.
20:24 But at the same time, you have seen,
20:26 that at one place, for example,
20:28 the Muslim League council said,
20:30 that on form 45,
20:32 the returning or the presiding officer
20:34 had already signed it.
20:36 So later we found out,
20:38 that he had to sign it,
20:40 and the council's polling agency was also involved.
20:42 So, it should not have happened.
20:44 The election commission has said,
20:46 that they have seen such one-offs,
20:48 but largely, no such issues have come up.
20:50 You are right,
20:52 everyone's collective effort is this,
20:54 that as smoothly
20:56 and openly as possible,
20:58 there should be a collective effort.
21:00 And today, if you see,
21:02 apart from a few instances,
21:04 no major issues have come up.
21:06 To the extent that they do,
21:08 specific issues have come up
21:10 from certain circles,
21:12 specific polling stations,
21:14 the media has also raised them,
21:16 I believe the election commission
21:18 has also noticed them.
21:20 But, at the end of the day,
21:22 I would like to say,
21:24 that the governments do make arrangements
21:26 and at the end of the day,
21:28 the presiding officers and the entire campaign,
21:30 is under the election commission's
21:32 control.
21:34 And today, I would like to say again,
21:36 that largely, relatively speaking,
21:38 in the context of our elections,
21:40 if you look at it from that perspective,
21:42 it has been largely peaceful,
21:44 and I don't think there have been any major complaints.
21:46 And are you satisfied with the speed
21:48 of the results?
21:50 Because, there are main cities,
21:52 elections are held in a few places,
21:54 are the results coming as fast as you were expecting?
21:56 Yes, Maria, honestly,
21:58 I don't want to claim anything,
22:00 but I have seen the results on TV,
22:02 I don't know if there is any media reporting
22:04 on certain places or not,
22:06 but to be very honest,
22:08 I will have to call some candidates
22:10 who are contesting our elections,
22:12 and talk to them,
22:14 so that I can get a better idea
22:16 of the situation.
22:18 Okay, last question,
22:20 because in the last election,
22:22 when we saw that in May 8,
22:24 there was a visible opinion,
22:26 a very clear opinion in the PMLN,
22:28 that a lot of your voters
22:30 could not even come out in that large number.
22:32 This time, have you managed
22:34 the angry voters to some extent?
22:36 Do you think the election campaign
22:38 should have been done in the way
22:40 the PMLN has achieved all its targets?
22:42 Yes, look,
22:44 the candidates who are contesting our elections,
22:46 this time, the context was that,
22:48 largely, in Punjab,
22:50 the seats were the ones
22:52 that we had won before.
22:54 So, definitely, the voters here,
22:56 no matter how scared they were in the last election,
22:58 they had expressed confidence in our party
23:00 and our candidates,
23:02 and our candidates were moving forward
23:04 with the same momentum.
23:06 They have definitely,
23:08 the candidates who got more tickets
23:10 in our by-election,
23:12 they have done their entire campaign.
23:14 In this campaign, you have seen that
23:16 because the elected members are present,
23:18 you don't see a lot of celebration.
23:20 But, definitely, the on-the-ground,
23:22 door-to-door activity, polling station-wise,
23:24 union council-wise, ward-wise,
23:26 our candidates have thoroughly
23:28 carried out.
23:30 Looking at the political situation
23:32 of their area and the local groups,
23:34 and looking at the demands
23:36 of the electorate,
23:38 they have definitely
23:40 put in an effort.
23:42 And the results that are being seen,
23:44 the results of the effort are being seen.
23:46 Thank you very much.
23:48 We have with us PM LN, Bilal Kiani.
23:50 Sam Raja is with us on the telephone line.
23:52 Throughout, I was observing,
23:54 wherever there were elections taking place,
23:56 they were present in the constituencies.
23:58 Salam Salman.
24:00 Yes, Salam.
24:02 Overall, especially on the day of the election,
24:04 we were talking to PM LN,
24:06 he said that
24:08 he is very comfortable
24:10 with the seats that he has won.
24:12 In your opinion, which seats
24:14 are still strong?
24:16 In your opinion, which seats
24:18 can you comfortably claim
24:20 that we have a strong hand here?
24:22 Look, I cannot say anything about this.
24:24 But one thing
24:26 which is absolutely clear,
24:28 that the internet was shut down again today.
24:30 There is no reasonable justification for this.
24:32 There is no security issue
24:34 that you shut down the internet
24:36 of the entire city for a local election.
24:38 There is only one reason
24:40 for shutting down the internet,
24:42 that is, the presiding officers
24:44 from the local election
24:46 are not able to send
24:48 the form 45 to the election commission
24:50 via EMS or the internet.
24:52 And the polling agents
24:54 are also not able to send
24:56 their candidate
24:58 and the observers to the election commission.
25:00 This is a very disturbing situation.
25:02 And this was re-captured
25:04 on 8th February.
25:06 After that,
25:08 I was with the people
25:10 of the NA119
25:12 office of the RO.
25:14 It was made in the Engineering University.
25:16 We were not allowed to go inside.
25:18 The candidates were not allowed to go inside.
25:20 Their election agents
25:22 were not allowed to go inside.
25:24 But when this is done,
25:26 it has only one purpose.
25:28 To take the form 45
25:30 from the presiding officers
25:32 in the dark and to do the same
25:34 as was done on 8th and 9th February.
25:36 We have a complete doubt
25:38 that this will be done.
25:40 Will the form 45 be received?
25:42 Will the form 45 be changed?
25:44 I don't understand.
25:46 If the election commission
25:48 really wants to conduct
25:50 a transparent election,
25:52 why was the internet
25:54 shut down?
25:56 And now the ban
25:58 has been put in the RO's office.
26:00 But the law says that the candidate
26:02 and his election agents have the right
26:04 to receive the form 45
26:06 in their presence.
26:08 And the form 47
26:10 should be given in their presence.
26:12 If you don't let this happen,
26:14 the entire election
26:16 loses its credibility.
26:18 Even if the polling is fine throughout the day,
26:20 but in the evening,
26:22 a big question mark is created.
26:24 And the election
26:26 loses its credibility.
26:28 You are talking about the polling day.
26:30 How is the overall turnout?
26:32 Are you satisfied that
26:34 the turnout is as high as you expected?
26:36 The turnout is less in the
26:38 local elections.
26:40 And the second thing is that
26:42 the reason for the 8th and 9th February
26:44 was to tell the voters
26:46 that there is no purpose
26:48 or result of their vote.
26:50 But despite this,
26:52 I think the voters have come out.
26:54 And the voters have tried their best
26:56 to assert their right.
26:58 And the voters have tried their best
27:00 to assert their right.
27:02 And the voters have tried their best
27:04 to assert their right.
27:06 If a result is given by force,
27:08 then this matter will come to the public court.
27:10 And it will go to the other courts.
27:12 But I think it is a big question
27:14 that the internet ban
27:16 and the candidates and election agents
27:18 should not be allowed
27:20 to be there during the consolidation
27:22 of form 45
27:24 and the formation of form 47.
27:26 These are the big questions
27:28 that we should pay attention to.
27:30 Mr. Rai, the campaign
27:32 that took place in Lahore
27:34 for the by-elections,
27:36 our reporters were also talking
27:38 about the leadership of the Sunni
27:40 Tahaat Council
27:42 not being present there.
27:44 We saw the situation
27:46 where the elections are taking place.
27:48 Is there a special reason for this?
27:50 Look, this happened again.
27:52 I myself went to a lot of
27:54 coroner meetings.
27:56 And in my presence,
27:58 the police were raided.
28:00 People were kidnapped,
28:02 beaten, the banners were torn.
28:04 The atmosphere of fear
28:06 was maintained.
28:08 So after this atmosphere of fear,
28:10 to say that no candidate
28:12 could campaign in the way
28:14 you think it should have been,
28:16 you have to keep that atmosphere
28:18 of fear in front.
28:20 But despite this, I think
28:22 our candidates have campaigned
28:24 in an organized manner.
28:26 And people know,
28:28 the biggest issue is
28:30 who is the candidate
28:32 and what is his election sign.
28:34 This has been reported to people
28:36 in a timely manner.
28:38 The question is, Mr. Marwat
28:40 gets up from KP, Peshawar,
28:42 and goes to Lahore.
28:44 And Mr. Amad Azhar,
28:46 you have heard that he has
28:48 been bailed from Peshawar High Court.
28:50 He is not seen on the ground.
28:52 We saw a few small demonstrations
28:54 in Lahore.
28:56 People are asking questions
28:58 about Mr. Amad Azhar's absence
29:00 on the ground.
29:02 What are his threats
29:04 in this regard,
29:06 that he will be arrested?
29:08 He understands better.
29:10 But even before 8th February,
29:12 we were not allowed
29:14 to do such a campaign.
29:16 The public's decision is there.
29:18 The real issue was that
29:20 the public should know
29:22 who the candidate is
29:24 and what is his election sign.
29:26 Mr. Amad Azhar's absence
29:28 on the ground
29:30 may be important,
29:32 but it is not as important
29:34 as you are pointing out.
29:36 We, the local people,
29:38 will remain present
29:40 and the candidates will remain
29:42 present during the campaign.
29:44 What is the update
29:46 on the results of Lahore?
29:48 Are you satisfied with the speed
29:50 and pace of the results?
29:52 We do not know.
29:54 If you are present
29:56 in the office of the candidate,
29:58 you will know
30:00 how fast the results are coming
30:02 and how fast they are not.
30:04 What is being done with the results?
30:06 If you take everyone out
30:08 and put them in a room,
30:10 then it is impossible
30:12 to say anything about it.
30:14 Are the results coming
30:16 from a relaxed manner?
30:18 Are they not being told
30:20 because the rank is being changed?
30:22 What is happening?
30:24 I had asked PM LN
30:26 about the significance
30:28 of the current election.
30:30 PM LN has won the election
30:32 with great difficulty.
30:34 He has won it again and again.
30:36 He has manipulated it.
30:38 What will be the impact
30:40 of the election on his statement?
30:42 How will the trends of the election
30:44 be justified?
30:46 What is the significance
30:48 of the election?
30:50 You have also stated
30:52 that the election was snatched from you.
30:54 I think the statements
30:56 are based on the reality.
30:58 If the same action is repeated
31:00 today, then the results
31:02 will be the same as on 8th and 9th February.
31:04 We have a position
31:06 and we have evidence
31:08 that on 8th February,
31:10 the Muslim League won 16 seats
31:12 in the entire country.
31:14 The seats that I am running
31:16 for the election,
31:18 are the same seats that were given
31:20 to the Muslim League on 8th February.
31:22 If the same action is repeated
31:24 and the seats are given again
31:26 to the Muslim League,
31:28 then there will be no effect
31:30 on the PTI statement.
31:32 The internet has been shut down
31:34 and people are not allowed
31:36 to enter the office.
31:38 There is another factor
31:40 that the government
31:42 has a vision
31:44 to bring
31:46 development
31:48 in the next 4 years.
31:50 Is there a different
31:52 voting trend
31:54 in the election?
31:56 Is it that the MPA
31:58 is close to the PMLN
32:00 and the government
32:02 will vote for him?
32:04 There can be a small difference
32:06 but I don't think
32:08 there will be a big difference.
32:10 The votes that are being
32:12 cast on 8th February
32:14 are just for the sake
32:16 of the people.
32:18 People are talking
32:20 about the streets
32:22 and the neighbourhoods
32:24 but they are not as important
32:26 as they are in normal circumstances.
32:28 People are angry
32:30 and they want to vote
32:32 for the reason
32:34 that they were denied.
32:36 Thank you very much.
32:38 Salman Akram Raja
32:40 and Rukiyani
32:42 were with us
32:44 and we were presenting
32:46 our views on the election.
32:48 The PMLN has an important
32:50 election and they are
32:52 accused of the 8th February election.
32:54 If they had won the elections
32:56 it would have been easier
32:58 for them to say
33:00 that they had won the elections
33:02 and they had to show the results
33:04 when the elections were held.
33:06 I have understood
33:08 that if they see the same
33:10 pattern in today's elections
33:12 then their opposition
33:14 will have
33:16 a reason
33:18 to run
33:20 this movement.
33:22 The argument
33:26 that I mentioned
33:28 is that it was very important
33:30 for the Pakistan Muslim League
33:32 and especially for Marjum Sahiba
33:34 to have a good exercise
33:36 in Lahore.
33:38 If the Sunni
33:40 and Sunni
33:42 hand council
33:44 had been wrong
33:46 then it would have been
33:48 visible.
33:50 If they had won
33:52 then they would have
33:54 been able to show
33:56 the results.
33:58 It was very important
34:00 that the campaign
34:02 was not just about
34:04 the elections.
34:06 Instead of asking
34:08 for the permission
34:10 to hold the elections
34:12 the government
34:14 would have allowed
34:16 the elections.
34:18 It was very important
34:20 for the Pakistan Muslim League
34:22 to have a good exercise
34:24 in Lahore.
34:26 It was a lost party
34:28 and they are already
34:30 on the ground.
34:32 They are on the streets
34:34 like our election.
34:36 The questions that are being raised
34:38 about the results
34:40 and the problems
34:42 are being raised.
34:44 Who is he supporting?
34:46 He is supporting
34:48 the PM.
34:50 He is out of the way
34:52 and I feel
34:54 that the government
34:56 should have tried
34:58 to make the elections
35:00 in a better way.
35:02 The government has
35:04 to give funds
35:06 for the development.
35:08 You should have won the elections
35:10 on a Sunday.
35:12 We have
35:14 with us Daniyal Aziz.
35:16 Let's ask him
35:18 if he can start.
35:20 Tell us,
35:22 which party
35:24 are you in?
35:26 We don't know
35:28 which political party
35:30 you are in.
35:32 There is a lot
35:34 going on behind the scenes.
35:36 You will know soon.
35:38 I want to talk about the elections.
35:40 We are coming to that.
35:42 What are your observations
35:44 from yesterday till today?
35:46 Please.
35:48 I did a press conference
35:50 yesterday.
35:52 There were 326 people
35:54 who were trained.
35:56 3 of them were
35:58 the presiding officers,
36:00 assistant presiding officers
36:02 and senior assistant presiding officers.
36:04 Out of the 155
36:06 presiding officers
36:08 who were notified,
36:10 only 6 were
36:12 in training.
36:14 The entire staff
36:16 was in a meeting
36:18 and the people
36:20 who were chosen
36:22 were in a meeting.
36:24 The police
36:26 were a great example.
36:28 The MPs
36:30 who came here
36:32 were in a polling booth
36:34 and were scared.
36:36 They cast their votes
36:38 and went to the next polling booth.
36:40 There were a lot of people
36:42 with them, including the squad.
36:44 They were there to protect them
36:46 but to scare everyone.
36:48 The reporting
36:50 is going on.
36:52 We have 75 people
36:54 who have come to form 45.
36:56 18,000 people
36:58 are being counted
37:00 and they are doing all this.
37:02 You can see
37:04 the situation here.
37:06 What does the government
37:08 do when it comes to its hands?
37:10 Mr. Daniyal,
37:12 you are doing old politics.
37:14 You have seen all these events.
37:16 When you have a comfortable government
37:18 and you have to make promises
37:20 about funds and development,
37:22 it is very easy.
37:24 You don't need a carrot and stick.
37:26 Even the voters know
37:28 what their interests are.
37:30 It is an easy way.
37:32 Why do you need
37:34 to scare people?
37:36 I don't have a Punjab government.
37:38 You don't have one
37:40 but I am talking about the government.
37:42 I am trying to tell you
37:44 that they are giving
37:46 the people
37:48 the funds
37:50 and they are using
37:52 the funds of the local government
37:54 and they have put
37:56 the banners on them.
37:58 Despite all this,
38:00 the election was losing.
38:02 And now,
38:04 the election,
38:06 the presiding officer
38:08 has put the banners.
38:10 What is the logic behind this?
38:12 Why did they select
38:14 the presiding officer?
38:16 How did the lists change overnight?
38:18 We have not received any notification
38:20 about the assistant presiding officer.
38:22 We have heard
38:24 that some people
38:26 have appointed
38:28 the assistant presiding officer.
38:30 Can you understand
38:32 what has happened here?
38:34 On February 8,
38:36 I was arrested,
38:38 my wife was arrested,
38:40 my son was arrested,
38:42 and the form 45
38:44 tells a terrible story.
38:46 Where I have 648 votes,
38:48 they gave me 48
38:50 and appointed the rest.
38:52 I am giving you an example.
38:54 We have put all these people in the position.
38:56 But they have made a good attitude.
38:58 Nowadays, there is a new minister
39:00 who says that you rig the election
39:02 and then say that the process is there
39:04 and you go and request.
39:06 So what will be the result of what happened here?
39:08 Okay, Mr. Dainaji,
39:10 all these seats,
39:12 the opposition could have won.
39:14 It would have been an impression
39:16 that we were saying.
39:18 But the government did not have
39:20 any clear effect.
39:22 Majority in Punjab,
39:24 Majority in the National Assembly,
39:26 they have a heavy majority.
39:28 Do you think
39:30 that the fight is going on
39:32 on our political scene?
39:34 You can see the solution
39:36 in the near future.
39:38 The government will continue.
39:40 It is not like that.
39:42 People's reaction has come out.
39:44 As Maria was saying,
39:46 the government's big people
39:48 are eager because people
39:50 have to get work done.
39:52 But despite this,
39:54 the government failures,
39:56 like the electricity bill,
39:58 people are holding their ears
40:00 that what will happen with the goods.
40:02 The 500 billion that they had stolen,
40:04 which they identified themselves,
40:06 they were able to collect.
40:08 For your and your viewers' information,
40:10 I want to tell you that
40:12 the 590 billion that was stolen,
40:14 not 9 losses, not technical losses,
40:16 it is clearly theft.
40:18 If it had been collected,
40:20 then in every bill,
40:22 the fee unit would have been 8-18 rupees.
40:24 And they could not do it at all.
40:26 And finally,
40:28 they arrested 22 people
40:30 in the Gujranwala Electric Supply Corporation
40:32 through FIA.
40:34 They went on a bike.
40:36 They were released after a day.
40:38 The fish is suffering outside the water.
40:40 They don't know what to do.
40:42 In the same way,
40:44 the tax net that was to be increased in FPR,
40:46 only 55 retailers
40:48 came and volunteered.
40:50 And the government's priorities
40:52 are to fight the non-bios.
40:54 Thank you very much, Mr. Daniyal,
40:56 for informing us about the process
40:58 of the election.
41:00 The special transmission
41:02 ends here.
41:04 Stay tuned for the latest news.
41:06 We will keep you informed
41:08 as soon as the government
41:10 results are released.
41:12 We take your leave now.
