00:00You know that a letter was written by six judges, first by the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court,
00:07after that the same letter reached the Supreme Court,
00:11and the Supreme Court first made a commission on it,
00:15after the commission, obviously, a notice was taken on it,
00:19because when the nomination of the commission was made,
00:22Mr. Tasadduk Jalani, the former Chief Justice, refused it.
00:25Now, this matter, today, some new developments have emerged in that regard.
00:31A letter was written by Justice Babur Sattar Sahib,
00:34Honourable Justice of Islamabad High Court,
00:37he has highlighted in the letter,
00:40he will put the grades in front of you,
00:44that Justice Babur Sattar has written a letter to Chief Justice Amar Farooq of Islamabad High Court,
00:50he has written that in the case of Audio Leaks,
00:53I was given the message to step back,
00:56I got the message from the top official of the security establishment,
01:00to step back,
01:02I was given the message to step back from the surveillance of the car,
01:08I did not pay any attention to such threats,
01:12he basically said that I was given the message directly from the security establishment,
01:20After that, there were two press conferences,
01:23two press conferences,
01:25first one, we saw a message, a recorded video,
01:28a message was given by Attorney General Mansoor Abaan Sahib,
01:32what is he saying,
01:33when this letter was reported by Babur Sattar Sahib on television channels,
01:40the response of the Attorney General regarding this letter is in front of you.
01:45Neither the government nor any other state institution,
01:48in any way,
01:49can or does not interfere in the work of the judiciary,
01:55I strongly deny this impression,
02:00that letter,
02:01now that it is on social media,
02:03so please pay attention to its content,
02:06and see what he has said that was a hindrance to justice,
02:12The message that has been communicated from anywhere,
02:15and I will elaborate on this,
02:18that according to my knowledge,
02:21no security establishment officer has made any kind of direct contact,
02:28nor can they do it,
02:30so that contact was through the Attorney General's office,
02:35and it was to the extent that such sensitive information should be encamered,
02:42and it was to the extent that such sensitive information should be encamered,
02:47it is important that this reporting is in its proper context.
02:55Viewers, similarly,
02:56later in a press conference,
02:58there was a meeting of the Cabinet,
03:00the Information Minister was there,
03:03the Law Minister was there,
03:04he also expressed his opinion regarding this letter,
03:08that there is no such thing,
03:10that all institutions are working within their limits,
03:16and they should work in this manner.
03:17The Attorney General,
03:18the representatives of the state,
03:20a message is given from them,
03:22that the in-camera briefing should be done,
03:24so by misconstruing it,
03:26by moving it away from the context,
03:28a letter is written on it,
03:30that I am being told to move back,
03:33so this is not based on reality at all,
03:35and I understand that if the in-camera briefing was requested,
03:39then it was done due to national security,
03:41you have access to the Chief Justice,
03:43so writing a letter to the Chief Justice of a single court,
03:46through which you have daily meetings,
03:48I understand that this is a matter of controversy,
03:51and no one has given this message,
03:54that you should move back,
03:55only the in-camera briefing was requested,
03:57and I understand that the tension should be reduced,
04:00and all institutions should work together.
04:03Viewers, the Supreme Court is obviously listening to this case,
04:07the next hearing is on 8th June,
04:09Hussain Chaudhry, our representative,
04:11covers Islamabad High Court,
04:13he is present,
04:15Hussain, when and when did this news start coming,
04:17and obviously we don't ask the source,
04:19we ask the reporter,
04:21and then we saw that the government,
04:23immediately,
04:25not that less than the level of the Attorney General,
04:27had to respond.
04:29Thank you very much Mr. Khabar,
04:31today in Islamabad High Court,

04:37during that time,
04:39we got to know from Islamabad High Court,
04:41that Justice Babar Sitar,
04:43has another letter,
04:45or the letter that was written,
04:47to the Chief Justice,
04:49a part of that,
04:51or a paragraph,
04:53and in that,
04:55he is listening to the audio leak case,
04:57in June, it will be a year,

05:09and in that, he said that,
05:11the audio leak case that I am listening to,
05:13in that,
05:15the secret institutions,
05:17the investigative institutions,
05:19and the other regulatory bodies,
05:21they had taken notices,
05:23and the surveillance,
05:25they were listening to the case,
05:27so in that regard,
05:29I was threatened,
05:31to step back,
05:33so he said,
05:35to step back,
05:37he also said in the letter,
05:39that I did not pay any attention to it,
05:41because I was listening to the case,
05:43and the case is still going on,
05:45so this letter,
05:47has come out today,
05:49and let me tell you,
05:51the letter he wrote to the Chief Justice,
05:53that letter was in reference to,
05:55the social media campaign,
05:57that was going on against him,
05:59and this audio leak case,
06:01was the background,
06:03because when this case was going on,
06:05that too we will discuss in the program,
06:07Chaudhary Ghulam Singh,
06:09you received a very immediate reaction,
06:11from your friends,
06:13the Tarar brothers,
06:15they are not brothers,
06:17but they are related to each other,
06:19so the Law Minister,
06:21and the Information Minister,
06:23they said that,
06:25when you feel like,
06:27they did not have any credible information,
06:57you are denying this,
06:59I am telling you,
07:01that I do not like many judges,
07:03but it is not my job,
07:05to start giving messages against them,
07:07God forbid,
07:09to start giving messages against them,
07:11so you should stop this,
07:13this is not a good way,
07:15if a judge writes a letter,
07:17then there is a very serious issue involved,
07:21you should,
07:23in a press conference,
07:25talk to them,
07:27you cannot let them go,
07:29they will have to go to the end of the month,
