00:00What exactly should the party leadership do that they are not doing?
00:03To get Mr. Khan out.
00:05Waseem Bhai, Waseem Bhai, Waseem Bhai.
00:07Firstly, I am not a member of that political committee.
00:11I have hardly attended two meetings of the core committee.
00:15You see, I don't even come to the media off late.
00:18The biggest reason for that is that political leadership is very rare with Khan.
00:23We don't get all that information.
00:26On the basis of which, I come to the media
00:29and defend a PTI issue with commitment, with passion, and pick it up.
00:41So, a lot of things were like that.
00:44And there is a difference of opinion at home.
00:46I also have a lot of difference of opinion.
00:48But when I said this, I said it because I was very frustrated.
00:53What is happening?
00:54There are no treasury benches, no ministers, no one to listen to us.
00:58What are we doing?
00:59We don't have anyone to listen to us.
01:01Then, the way they treat us,
01:04and on top of that,
01:06the MNAs of Punjab are being beaten at their homes.
01:09Their children are being threatened.
01:12At the National Assembly, I stood at the point of order.
01:15Mr. Speaker, tell me,
01:17why are the police standing at the main entry point of the Parliament?
01:22They said, this is a threat, a security threat.
01:28So, I said, it's a red zone.
01:29So, if a security threat comes from outside, it will come in.
01:32And then, you have the F.C. and the Rangers.
01:36So, the Islamabad police have to stand here.
01:38So, keep all these things in mind.
01:40Sir, are you more frustrated by your party leadership or by the current government?
01:47Look, the current government is completely incompetent.
01:52They have nothing to do with the interests of Pakistan.
01:55They are working on an agenda that is shattering the foundations of Pakistan.
02:00I told my team that we need to pull our socks.
02:06Through a proactive approach,
02:09we need to involve 81 members of our Form 47 National Assembly,
02:14the effectees.
02:17We need to involve all stakeholders.
02:19We need to have our legal fraternity well-equipped.
02:22We need to campaign with a proper mechanism
02:27so that the public is not influenced.
02:30Why isn't the Karpari Party campaigning, sir?
02:32The frustration level is very high.
02:33What is the answer to this, why isn't the Karpari Party campaigning?
02:37Look, I will get the answer to this from Mr. Khan.
02:41Because when I meet Mr. Khan,
02:44I am a man who interacts heart-to-heart.
02:48Because I didn't come to play MNA.
02:51I curse the MNA that the public voted for us.
02:55And I don't want to fulfill that vote.
02:57I can't do anything for my leader,
03:00who is innocent and innocent.
03:02The people around me ask me questions.
03:05Pakistani people are asking us questions.
03:0787% Pakistanis are standing with Imran Khan.
03:11They ask questions, what are you doing?
03:14When you ask this question with your current leadership,
03:17when you ask this question with your current leadership,
03:20Mr. Khan is in jail, right?
03:21When you ask this question with your current leadership,
03:23what answer did he give you?
03:25Look, Basim, let me tell you one thing.
03:28This leadership is my leadership.
03:30Khawaja Asif accused me, I answered him on the floor of the house.
03:34Leadership is mine.
03:35This is respectable for me.
03:37I am standing right behind them.
03:39But let me tell you one thing.
03:41This is my legal right.
03:44As a member of the National Assembly,
03:46and as a member of that party, which is the largest party,
03:49in which I had four portfolios.
03:51I am the ex-federal minister of that party.
03:54People love us.
03:55People expect us.
03:57Because I don't have access, Khan.
03:59So what is my job?
04:00My leader of the opposition,
04:02Secretary General,
04:03then like this, Chief Whip,
04:05then Barrister Gauhar,
04:07I talk to them.
04:09Everyone has their own limitations.
04:11And because what I have seen with my own eyes today,
04:15the way things have been twisted.
04:18For example, I said,
04:20maybe my last,
04:22after that some 25-30 MNAs said,
04:24we are coming to your house.
04:26And what was the news made?
04:28That yes, a forward block is being made.
04:30So one thing from your perspective,
04:32those who bring division in the party,
04:34those who make a group in the party,
04:36those who conspire against Khan,
04:38for personal gain, for office,
04:40for anyone's thinking,
04:42they have to make a deal of faith for me.
04:44The stage I have come from,
04:46Waseem, you can't imagine,
04:48only Allah knows.
04:50Allah has taken me out of hell.
04:52And the more I give thanks to Allah,
04:54the less it is.
04:56I just want to tell you
04:58that my commitment is with Pakistan
05:00and with Imran Khan.
05:02If I tell Imran Khan that
05:04he has the status of a parent for me,
05:06at this age, in this heat,
05:08today I couldn't stand there
05:10in the shadow of a wall,
05:12what would he go through
05:14in a 8x10 cell?
05:16And my leader will never say
05:18to raise your voice for me.
05:20He always talks about Pakistan's
05:22security, autonomy, rule of law,
05:24and constitution.
05:26He says, go and tell them
05:28that I am ready to climb the wall,
05:30but never compromise on rule of law,
05:32never compromise on constitution
05:34So when I was inside,
05:36my wife was asking
05:38what my children were going through,
05:40my children asked me,
05:42Baba, why are you worried?
05:44My friends ask me.
05:46So I tell them,
05:48how is my leader?
05:50How is he doing?
05:52And what am I doing here?
05:54And I feel that I am not doing
05:56what I should be doing.
05:58Sir, are you continuing your
06:00parliamentary journey or not?
06:02Look, I will meet Khan
06:04and I will
06:06very seriously
06:08I have taken my decision
06:10I will meet Khan
06:12and only after meeting him
06:14will I be able to answer him.
06:16You have taken the decision to quit
06:18the seat of National Assembly.
06:20No, I have taken this decision
06:22that what should I do?
06:24What should I do?
06:26I will ask my leader,
06:28I will take his guidelines,
06:30I will talk to him
06:32and only then I will decide.
06:34Because believe me,
06:36in history,
06:38I have not made myself
06:40Mir Jafar or Mir Sadiq.
06:42I have not made my name in history
06:44in such a way that
06:46who knew me?
06:48Who knew me?
06:50After Allah, with the blessings of Imran Khan,
06:52I am coming to the National Assembly for the third time.
06:54But Sharia, the problem is...
