00:00 Let's start with Mr. Dhanayal. What do you think about the election?

00:06 Where will you go in this election? Will you accept it or not?

00:11 Because you were also a part of the election.

00:13 First of all, I would like to say that Mr. Kashif, we should talk with facts.

00:18 There is no point in making hollow accusations.

00:20 This is the list of the presiding officers in PP54 where S.N. Iqbal was leaving his seat and making his son fight.

00:29 155 officers are included in this list.

00:32 This is the list of the election commission which was trained a few days ago.

00:39 There are 326 people in this list.

00:43 The presiding officers and assistant presiding officers are also included.

00:47 So, the 326 people who were trained are obviously included in this list.

00:51 These people were supposed to be the presiding officers.

00:53 Otherwise, why would they be trained?

00:55 So, the trained people in this list are only 6.

00:59 Thank God, there are 6.

01:01 You understand what I am saying.

01:03 I understand.

01:04 So, they were trained to fight with the people who were in the list.

01:08 And then on the day of the election, they went to break the polling and the presiding officers were silent.

01:13 They told us that they have put a copy of 100.

01:16 So, we said that we can't remove 100.

01:19 It is a matter of my job.

01:21 Thank God, you removed 100.

01:23 Please hear me out.

01:25 I agree with you.

01:26 Your viewers should know what happened.

01:28 It is very easy to say that the forum is there and you can investigate.

01:31 You can remove someone's head and send him to the hospital.

01:34 Very good.

01:35 What kind of a joke is this?

01:36 There is a lot of chaos in this country.

01:39 I have a little disagreement with you.

01:41 You said that the PTI people were arrested in the February 8th election.

01:47 You were arrested.

01:48 I was not the one who was arrested in May 9th.

01:50 My wife was arrested.

01:51 My son was arrested.

01:52 My son was arrested.

01:53 My son was a 21-year-old college student.

01:55 I know him very well.

01:56 You know that.

01:57 He was a young man.

01:58 Did they sell heroin?

01:59 What did we do?

02:00 Exactly.

02:01 It is common to arrest decent people.

02:03 I had deposited Rs 20,000 to fight a election according to the law.

02:08 Return my money.

02:09 Why did they arrest me?

02:11 You know that my followers do not accept it.

02:14 They say that they are not getting the FIR.

02:16 This is the situation.

02:17 So, why did they arrest me?

02:19 They kept me in custody for two days.

02:20 They kept me in custody until I could not demand the count.

02:26 Because they knew that I was carrying a bag full of booze.

02:29 This is the situation.

02:30 And this is still happening.

02:31 You can imagine that this is a by-election at many polling stations.

02:35 97% turnout.

02:36 Can this ever happen?

02:37 You think about it.

02:38 This is an obvious drama.

02:40 And the people who were beaten up there.

02:42 In a village of one person, I should not have been there.

02:45 It was very wrong.

02:46 In his village, he fought for his personal rights.

02:49 He was beaten up there and he died.

02:53 They tried to cover up the truth.

02:55 I salute the people of that village.

02:59 They said that they will not do this.

03:01 We will cover up the truth.

03:04 Mr. Iqbal also went there.

03:05 They were trying to cover up the truth.

03:07 This is the police brutality.

03:09 This is their way of doing things.

03:11 And the rest of the people were helpless.

03:13 There was a time when the Election Commission was strict.

03:17 It was not allowed for the ministers to visit the development schemes.

03:21 Because they have an escort.

03:24 They can influence people.

03:25 They can influence the poor.

03:27 They can press them.

03:28 They can use words.

03:30 They can press them and take their eyes out.

03:32 They can say, "We will see you."

03:33 "We will see you."

03:34 "Then your people will come."

03:35 These things happen there.

03:37 They say, "You don't want education and development? Okay, we will see you."

03:40 When a poor man sees, how can he burn the papers?

03:44 He is not earning for his children.

03:46 He is not getting his electricity bill.

03:48 This is the state they have created.

03:50 They have done it everywhere.

03:52 So, the 97% of people who have been trained, you are saying that 97% are not in it.

03:57 I am not saying that.

03:58 Please, for God's sake.

03:59 These are facts.

04:00 These are notifications in my hand.

04:01 You are saying that they are papers.

04:02 Yes, absolutely.

04:03 What is the logic behind this?

04:04 Tell me.

04:05 Why should someone do this?

04:06 After all, someone selected them to train them.

04:09 Because of proximity or whatever the reason is.

04:11 Because of randomness or whatever it is.

04:13 From different angles.

04:14 So, what is the reason that they did not select any of them?

04:17 So, you understand everything yourself.

04:19 Mr. Tyani, the allegations are only one side.

04:21 This is a direct, personal part of the election.

04:25 So, they are putting allegations.

04:27 This allegation was heard from Gujarat, from Lahore.

04:29 These allegations are coming from different places.

04:31 There is some credibility of the elections.

04:33 And ensuring that is the job of the government of the time.

04:36 You will remember the election of Dask.

04:38 That was a famous election.

04:40 The election commission destroyed the situation.

04:42 They ruined the fresh election of Dask.

04:44 Which is fair.

04:45 If there is a problem, then it is the job of the election commission to fix it.

04:48 Here, you are announcing the victory.

04:51 But, there is no weight in it.

04:54 Because the allegations are of a very serious nature.

04:56 Videos are coming out.

04:58 I am sure you must have seen such videos.

05:00 That there are stamps and the stamps are there.

05:02 Ballot papers, form 45 has already been issued.

05:05 All of them have been signed.

05:06 What is going on?

05:07 Why didn't you see this in detail?

05:08 Yes, in the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most merciful.

05:10 Thank you very much for inviting me.

05:12 Look, the thing is, as you said in the beginning,

05:17 Look, people have forums.

05:19 But, what I saw yesterday in the elections,

05:21 Largely, by Pakistani standards, it was an uneventful election.

05:25 Largely peaceful.

05:27 The most regrettable incident was the one which Danyal just mentioned.

05:31 Muhammad Yusuf, who is our worker, was actually killed.

05:34 So, if anyone should have a complaint about any unfortunate incident in this election,

05:40 We should have it.

05:41 Apart from that, you see, there was a lot of commotion yesterday.

05:43 That in a circle, they said, "First, get the form 45 signed."

05:46 Later, it was found that the PTI people had also done it.

05:48 And whoever did it, he did it wrong.

05:50 He should not have it done first.

05:51 But, he got it done across the board.

05:53 It is the election commission's attack.

05:54 No doubt, they should take him to task.

05:56 But, apart from this, if you see, yesterday,

05:58 During polling, after polling, there were no major complaints.

06:01 You are saying that the saving grace is that the election will be completed.

06:03 No, see, it was completed.

06:05 From the first moment,

06:06 Is the fair election not a saving grace?

06:07 No, second thing, Karshak sir,

06:08 From the first moment, when the results were announced,

06:10 Across all channels,

06:11 The PMLN was clearly visible from the first count.

06:15 And till the end, you saw that,

06:17 In a large majority, in a small minority,

06:20 But, the victory of the PMLN was everywhere.

06:21 Granted, these are those seats,

06:23 Where, on 8th, we were successful.

06:25 And, these are largely those seats, which our leadership has vacated.

06:28 Ahsan Iqbal sir has vacated.

06:29 Rana Tanveer has done it.

06:30 Shabaz Sharif sir has done it in Kasur.

06:32 There are not many seats like this.

06:34 Awais Taqadri sir has done it in DG Khan.

06:36 But, if you see,

06:37 The voters of that same circle have again,

06:39 Put a stamp that,

06:40 We have confidence in this Jamaat,

06:41 In the PMLN,

06:42 And we have confidence in this candidate.

06:44 So, see,

06:45 So, if you were so sure that you will win this election,

06:47 I mean, there is a larger argument for this.

06:50 What was the need to shut down the internet?

06:52 See, Karshak sir,

06:53 Why are there such news that there are slaps,

06:55 Or videos are coming out.

06:57 I am sure you must have seen it,

06:58 We are all watching it.

06:59 See, Karshak sir,

07:00 Let us have a fair election.

07:02 Your case would have been strong,

07:03 If you had said it on 8th February.

07:04 See, Karshak sir,

07:05 Fair elections have been done.

07:06 If you have proof,

07:07 Then bring it out.

07:08 See, it is not possible to make noise all the time.

07:10 You are right.

07:11 Listen to me.

07:12 See, I have absolutely,

07:13 Mr. Danyal,

07:14 He has the right,

07:15 He should go and file a petition,

07:16 In the election commission.

07:17 Nobody is stopping anyone.

07:18 See, listen to the second thing, Karshak sir.

07:20 In one National Assembly election,

07:22 There are around 300 to 400 polling stations.

07:24 Yesterday, there were elections in 21 circles in the country.

07:26 There are issues in different polling stations.

07:28 Of course, there are issues in every election.

07:30 But if you see,

07:31 The by-elections of yesterday,

07:32 Relatively speaking,

07:33 By our standards,

07:34 Over the past few election cycles,

07:35 Were one of the most uneventful elections that we have had.

07:38 In which, even the PTI people,

07:39 Yesterday, they made a lot of noise.

07:41 They can't do anything.

07:42 Yes, they can.
