00:00We will talk about the issue of Azad Umidwar not being able to form a parliamentary party.
00:03Attorney General Mansoor Awan, Azad Umidwar has to be included in the party that has won the least number of seats.
00:10The Attorney General said that if the political parties win, then the political party automatically becomes a parliamentary party.
00:17The Chief Justice said that if the Azad Umidwar party is formed, then Article 51 will not be implemented.
00:23The case of the Supreme Court has been adjourned till 11.30pm on 9th July.
00:30Raja Mohsin Ijaz is with us. We will get to know more from him.
00:34Raja Mohsin, please tell us what important points were discussed in the case today?
00:37Today, the arguments were completed by the Attorney General and Pakistan.
00:42The arguments were given by them in the last hearing as well.
00:45After the arguments were completed, the lawyer of the Sunni Atheist Council, Faisal Siddiqui Advocate, told the bench that he will end his rejoinder in 15 minutes.
00:59Today, the bench gave important remarks and the Attorney General was given the support of the court by Pakistan.
01:10The Attorney General said that in 2002, for the first time in the National Assembly, special seats were allocated under Article 51.
01:17The purpose of Article 51 is to give representation to women and minorities.
01:22And in the practice of governance and legislation, they have a lot of representation.
01:26If Azad Umidwar joins the political party, then he will be considered a part of the party.
01:31The political party can give as many special seats as it wants.
01:35The Attorney General gave important remarks on behalf of Justice Attar Minalla.
01:38He said that the Attorney General will have to look at the fundamental question.
01:42The election commission has removed a political party from the election.
01:45The election commission itself opposed this.
01:49As the guardian of fundamental rights, it is not our responsibility to correct this.
01:54The Attorney General said on this occasion that the question is whether Azad Umidwar can join the Sunni Atheist Council under Article 51 or not.
02:03The question is whether the Sunni Atheist Council is eligible for special seats or not.
02:09Justice Ayesha Malik said that Azad Umidwar has a large number of candidates.
02:15The Attorney General said that in any case, no seat can be left empty.
02:22Justice Muneeb Akhtar said that the parliamentary system is based on political parties.
02:29The question is where did such a large number of Azad Umidwar come from?
02:32Did the people themselves choose these people as Azad Umidwar?
02:35Did the election commission itself not declare these people free?
02:39Justice Muneeb Akhtar also raised the question that when this has happened, should the court not correct this mistake?
02:45Should they not adopt legal options to correct this mistake?
02:50After the evidence of the Attorney General is complete, the Sunni Atheist Council's decision-making advocate will be held on 9 July.
03:00After that, the hearing of this case will be completed.
03:04Thank you very much for updating us.
