00:00This is all about your agenda and manifesto, but there is a practical side to it.
00:05Politics is brutal.
00:06Where will the votes come from?
00:08What is the demographic?
00:09Whom are you targeting?
00:10What is the age group?
00:11Why will they vote for you?
00:12In a polarised environment?
00:13There is PGI, PMLN, anti-establishment vote.
00:15Where will your vote come from?
00:17It depends on the party.
00:19From 33% to 44% of the people who voted in the last election were not satisfied with the choice of their party.
00:25If you look at the age groups, especially in Punjab,
00:28PTI used to win by 15% to 24%,
00:30PTI wins by 24% to 35%,
00:32PTI wins by 35% to 50%,
00:33Muslim League wins by 50% in one group,
00:35which is declining,
00:37and this group is increasing.
00:38Half of your voters are less than 35 years of age.
00:41So that will be your demographic.
00:44Every party ignores women.
00:46We have tried a lot to talk about women.
00:49Mr. Mirza talked about it today,
00:51Mr. Binarza talked about it.
00:52We are trying to talk about it with young people as well.
00:54Our demographic will consist of weak social classes.
00:59There is no representation of young people.
01:01There is insufficient representation of women.
01:03Today, I can tell you the truth,
01:06there is no such group in Pakistan,
01:08be it middle class or even upper class,
01:10which is not under the burden of this tax.
01:13You are right.
01:14But what you are talking about voters,
01:15in two to three years,
01:16there is only one narrative.
01:17Either you are pro-establishment or anti-establishment.
01:19Unfortunately,
01:20elections should be held on issues,
01:22elections should be held on performance,
01:23but right now, voters are divided.
01:25Either you are with the establishment,
01:27or you are against the establishment,
01:28then you will become popular.
01:29Look, Mr. Khan has always been with the establishment.
01:33When the establishment removed him,
01:36he is now protesting against them.
01:37Mr. Nawaz has always been like this.
01:39But Mr. Mian was not on the same level as the establishment.
01:42But anyway, this is always the case.
01:45We are not talking to them.
01:47Our relationship with the establishment
01:48will be as defined in the constitution.
01:50As Mr. Shahid has said in a podcast,
01:53and in other private gatherings,
01:55we are ready to work with everyone,
01:57including the establishment,
01:58which is a reality in Pakistan.
01:59But we have not come to work for anyone.
02:01We have come to work for the people.
02:03And we will talk about the people,
02:05and we will talk about public interest.
02:06That is why it is important for you to come on 45.
02:09If you come on 47,
02:10then you cannot talk about the people.
02:12That is why it is important for you to come without RTS.
02:14Because when you come on RTS,
02:16then you call General Faiz,
02:17and ask him to complete the numbers in the assembly.
02:19So you have to come.
02:20If someone comes on his own,
02:22then he will be able to do the work of Pakistan.
02:24And I am not guaranteeing that we will ever come.
02:27But I am guaranteeing that if we come,
02:29then we will come from your vote.
02:30Right.
02:31And what you are saying,
02:32because in three, four, five years of politics,
02:34do you think your space is being made?
02:36And if it is made, then how will it be made?
02:38Look, we have tried a little on social media.
02:41We have made some preparations.
02:43Today, see that a new party is being formed in Pakistan.
02:46If not for the grace of Allah,
02:48we would not have been able to do what we have done.
02:50All the channels have covered it.
02:51We are talking about it on the media.
02:53So many people came.
02:54We did not even have a public event,
02:55but people came.
02:56Now we have to go and do retail politics.
02:59We have to go from Gilgit to Karachi,
03:01to the districts of every Punjab,
03:02Balochistan, KP district, Sindh district,
03:05to gather people,
03:06to make people sit,
03:07to make people farmers.
03:08Like I said,
03:09this will take at least a year in the party organization.
03:12I cannot guarantee you success,
03:14but I can guarantee you a sincere effort.
03:16But you have won the seat, right?
03:18You almost won it.
03:19Actually, I would have won it by 11.30,
03:21but it was Nawaz Sharif's vote.
03:22I was going to say that it was not PM LN's vote.
03:24Individually, even in your capacity,
03:26you have a wave of votes,
03:28but it is your vote.
03:29So how will you compensate for that vote?
03:32Shahid sahib also fought on the ticket of PM LN.
03:35Shahid sahib fought against PM LN in 1988,
03:38and still won.
03:40But see, we were still in PM LN.
03:43So we will fight on his ticket.
03:45And I am telling you that
03:46the vote I got was Nawaz Sharif's vote.
03:48But now we will talk about ourselves.
03:50It is possible that people vote.
03:52You tell me,
03:53these three parties,
03:55have they succeeded?
03:57Have they given anything to Pakistan?
03:59If Pakistan has become the poorest country in South Asia,
04:02and if it was the richest country 30 years ago,
04:05then we are making a mistake in governing.
04:07Somewhere in our system, there is order.
04:09We are talking about order.
04:11Everyone agrees that
04:13the team of Mifta and Shahid was competent.
04:16And they have no past.
04:18So we are taking these two things,
04:20that we are competent,
04:21and we have no past.
04:23And our loyalty is with Pakistan.
04:26Our loyalty is not with any individual.
04:29Our loyalty is with our own people.
04:30So what is the biggest problem of the country right now?
04:33The number one problem.
04:34The economy is there,
04:35but if you want to fix the economy,
04:37the biggest issue is the civil-military balance.
04:40Absolutely.
04:41We will not be able to move forward
04:42until we finish the political struggle.
04:43How will this happen?
04:44Because right now,
04:45no one is ready to talk to anyone.
04:46There is an excessive use of force.
04:48On the other hand,
04:49we are seeing that there is no support.
04:51If we want to move forward,
04:52Tell me,
04:53if we ever have a better relationship with India,
04:57how will we do it?
04:58We will sit at the table.
04:59In Palestine,
05:01the Mujahideen of Hamas,
05:03when they fight with them,
05:05the genocidal forces of Israel,
05:07and when they talk about ceasefire,
05:09they also talk to each other in Qatar.
05:11So what is the problem
05:14that the political forces of Pakistan
05:16cannot talk to each other?
05:18I mean,
05:19if you talk to your enemies,
05:21they are political opponents.
05:22So we have been reimagining Pakistan for a year or two.
05:26People were saying,
05:27you will make a political party,
05:28you will make it before the elections,
05:29you are his B team,
05:30this is a technocrat setup.
05:32We used to talk to each other,
05:33sit together and talk.
05:35And we have not only talked publicly,
05:37but also in private gatherings,
05:38we have requested the political leaders,
05:40that please break this group,
05:42talk to each other.
05:43These are issues of the country,
05:45not issues of ego.
