00:00 Are the cases still on the way to a solution or are you still there?
00:05 As we saw today, it seems that there is some kind of backdoor between them.
00:12 We saw that there was a protest today.
00:15 We saw that Mukla has now stopped the protest in the lower courts.
00:19 But in the high courts, Mukla was presented only in the case of urgent cases.
00:25 The High Court's cabinet went to the different courts and requested the judges.
00:30 And all Mukla's were told to observe the protest and leave the case.
00:35 After which all Mukla's left the court and came out.
00:39 The general house was investigated and it has been decided that the protest will be held again tomorrow.
00:43 The joint action committee that is formed will be investigated today.
00:47 And the further progress will be decided by the investigation.
00:51 And the further progress will be decided by the investigation.
00:57 As you were saying that Shehzad Shoukar is also involved.
01:01 Yes, absolutely right. We hope for the best.
01:03 Tell us, Salman Akram Rai has filed a petition today.
01:07 There are some news reports in the newspapers about the election tribunals.
01:12 In the petition, it is said that 7 more judges have been nominated.
01:18 But the Election Commission is not deciding on them.
01:22 This petition is saying that.
01:24 And obviously, in the beginning, only two election tribunals were formed.
01:27 In Punjab, the number of electoral representatives is quite high.
01:31 And there are some news reports about the appointment of some ATC judges.
01:35 That perhaps they are unhappy with the Chief Justice.
01:38 The Mukla community there, especially the Lahore Bar Association.
01:43 What is this? What is the story behind this?
01:46 Salman Akram Rai has filed a petition today.
01:50 In the petition, it is said that the Chief Justice of Lahore has sent more judges.
01:55 As election tribunals, to nominate them.
01:58 Three of them will work on the principal seat of Lahore.
02:01 One Justice Asim Hafeez has been designated in Paharpur.
02:05 Justice Ahil Kamran Sheikh has been designated in Multan Bank.
02:08 And Justice Mirza Waqar Sooraj has been designated in Rawalpindi Bank.
02:13 They are being notified.
02:16 But in the election commission, the 4th of April ballot has been sent to the Chief Justice of Lahore.
02:22 He has not yet been notified.
02:24 Salman Akram Rai has filed a petition today.
02:28 He said that it is solely the Chief Justice of Lahore's court's decision.
02:32 If he has designated a judge, then the election commission is bound to nominate and notify him.
02:39 In this case, the petitioner has said that the election commission is not doing this on purpose.
02:44 It wants that there is a delay in the election tribunals.
02:48 And to test this delay, the Chief Justice of Lahore's court is not following the rules.
02:55 There are already two more judges.
02:58 Before the election commission, the Lahore court had requested for 9 judges.
03:03 But the Chief Justice of Lahore's court had given 2 judges to Justice Sultan Tadvir and Justice Safraj Yogar.
03:10 They had to notify them.
03:12 Now there are 6 more judges who have been notified.
03:15 But this has not happened yet.
03:17 Secondly, you mentioned about the new court and the designation of judges.
03:21 A case was filed the other day in which the Chief Justice of Lahore's court expressed its strong opposition.
03:25 Why are the judges not being designated in these courts?
03:29 The Chief Justice of Lahore's court said that he can also request the Prime Minister.
03:35 The government lawyer said that the Prime Minister is under tension and he has a right to question.
03:41 He cannot be opposed.
03:43 The case of Usman Buzdar was also requested.
03:47 So we can request Maryam Nawaz.
03:49 The government lawyer has been given a chance to present his position to the government.
03:55 Thank you very much, Mr. Abid Khan.
03:57 Today, in this court, the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association, Mr. Shehzad Shaukat was presented.
04:03 When he was presented in the court, he was very much offended.
04:09 The reason for this was that he said that today we are on a strike.
04:15 Next week, the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association was appointed by Mr. Shehzad Shaukat.
04:21 The Chief Justice of Lahore expressed his strong opposition to the strike of Abul Qa'la.
04:27 Do not use the word strike here.
04:29 The remarks of Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Issa will be used at the right time.
04:33 The Chief Justice is not running any case.
04:37 Everyone is making excuses.
04:39 The Chief Justice says that the cases have not been filed for 20 years.
04:41 When they are filed, they make excuses.
04:43 Do not talk about the strike in the court.
04:45 We will start imposing so many fines that you will remember.
04:51 We will prepare the case and we will make the decisions.
04:55 Qazi Faiz Issa's remarks.
04:57 Mr. Naggi, this is a strike from the side of Abul Qa'la.
05:03 Now, it comes to see and hear that suppose, all across Pakistan, this is happening.
05:09 Our union, especially the Waqala community, is running politics outside.
05:15 The issue of the bench and bar is different.
05:17 They put a different issue in front of us.
05:19 After that, the Punjabis say, Allah Allah, Tahir Sallah.
05:25 The poor asylum seekers are sitting, there are expenses, the courts are not being set.
05:33 Look, our governments have always had a strong opinion that they let the spark burn first.
05:43 And then they take water buckets and say, let's put out the fire.
05:47 A protest has started, a demand has come forward.
05:51 You go, the government officials are sitting, talk to them.
05:55 End this matter before it rises.
05:58 Dialogue is the biggest way.
06:00 Today, the whole of Pakistan is talking about dialogue.
06:03 All the agitations, the protests, the people on the streets, they are being told to talk.
06:08 So, you bring people on the streets first, let them come.
06:12 When they are preparing to go out on the streets, you don't talk to them.
06:16 When they come on the streets, whether they are farmers, or the poor, or the old, or people from any area of life.
06:22 You make that spark a fire, then bring water buckets to put out the fire.
06:26 Don't do that.
06:27 Go, talk to them, and in the future, if any such incidents come up, put out the spark before it becomes a fire.
06:34 This is the only way to run a state.
06:36 It is not that you sleep first, and then when it becomes a fire, you go and try to put it out.
06:42 Okay, Mr. Juhi, this is a very good development, very interesting.
06:46 That is, the first election commission said that nine judges are needed.
06:51 And make tribunals.
06:52 Make election tribunals.
06:53 The most influential is from Punjab.
06:55 There is a lot of pressure.
06:56 Okay, the old chief justice only nominated two judges.
07:01 Now, the new chief justice has nominated six more judges.
07:08 Now, the election commission is not making tribunals, obviously, that is the right of the election commission.
07:13 So, when you become a party, why will you make tribunals?
07:16 You have not met Mr. Raja yet.
07:19 I don't want to meet him.
07:21 Why? You are doing the function, so you should talk to him.
07:23 No, you do it.
07:25 Now, we don't have it.
07:28 So, what is the reason?
07:30 The reason is the same as before.
07:32 When you yourself created a mess, created a mess,
07:35 so now, if there are nine, how many have come at this time, you know,
07:41 there are a lot of officials, a lot of appeals or petitions have been entered.
07:48 If they are disposed off quickly,
07:51 suppose in 45, Khabar Kumar is winning and in 47, Ghulam Sahin,
07:56 then Ghulam Sahin will say that the case will be filed with the Qayamatna Qeen.
