00:00Sir, let me clarify one more thing. Yesterday, Mr. Khan's statement was quoted.
00:05Mr. Kashif Abbasi said that our reporters are also confirming that Mr. Khan has said that I had told him to protest against GHQ.
00:11Yes, I had said it wholeheartedly. You said that we are denying it.
00:14So, your statement was on this.
00:16But today, Mr. Salman Akram Rajat said that Mr. Khan did not say this at all.
00:22But it was certain that after the attempt to arrest him in the judicial complex,
00:28the party had decided that if something like this happens,
00:32then we will stay where we should be, even if it is GHQ.
00:36So, at the party level, it was certain that if something like this happens to Mr. Khan
00:41and we feel that the Rangers are involved in it, then we will protest outside GHQ.
00:44Do you deny this or do you believe this?
00:47No, no. You know that I am a member of all the forums of the party.
00:53As far as I know, no such decision has been made.
00:58It was not even made at the party level. Mr. Khan did not say that it was not even made at the party level.
01:02It was not made at our CC, nor at our political committee.
01:07There was no discussion at any level.
01:10Yes, we had made a study that we will protest outside the legal front and the legal field.
01:18But no such decision was made.
01:21So, you are saying that nothing like this happened when Mr. Khan,
01:24I don't remember the exact date, it was on the 12th,
01:27when Mr. Khan was mishandled twice in the judicial complex.
01:30Let me tell you something interesting.
01:32The situation was such that the people who were supposed to make the decision themselves,
01:37they were not in anyone's control.
01:39They were in Peshawar and wherever I went,
01:42the people were running their own system.
01:47It was an emotional environment.
01:49Okay, Mr. Asif, let me tell you exactly what Mr. Salman said.
01:53Please tell us what Mr. Salman said this time.
01:56Yes, sir, I told you exactly.
01:58So, you are saying that nothing like this happened.
02:01Look, Mr. Salman Akhilzai is our senior lawyer.
02:06He is our senior lawyer. I respect him a lot.
02:09I don't even have the knowledge.
02:11Maybe he has the knowledge.
02:12But you know that I am in all the forums.
02:14No such forum has been decided.
02:16If there has been a local decision, I don't know.
02:19Yes, and obviously, this is not a secret.
02:21Mr. Salman has a lot of respect and he is very legal.
02:23But obviously, politically, you are much more biased than him.
02:25You are closer to the leadership, sir, you are saying.
02:27So, you are saying that in your knowledge, there is nothing like this.
02:29So, sir, later on, Mr. Murad Syed also had an audio that he said,
02:33that you have been told, you know where to go.
02:36Mr. Shariar Afridi said, I spoke to Mr. Asad Umar and we are going to GHQ.
02:40All these things also point to the fact that
02:42earlier, there was a discussion in the party about this.
02:45In fact, Mr. Salman, we ran half of it.
02:47He also said, Mr. Salman,
02:48that earlier, when Mr. Khan had a judicial complex,
02:50there were rangers in it and the ISI was also there.
02:52So, we then decided, the party,
02:53that now if something like this happens,
02:54if someone other than the police comes,
02:56then the response will also be where it should be,
02:57whether it is GHQ or not.
03:00Look, the first thing is that
03:02what happened with Mr. Khan should not have happened.
03:06The way the ranger was used against him in Abad,
03:09and the way he has been ridiculed,
03:13that Imran Khan is a country's prime minister,
03:16then a big star,
03:18he earned a name for this country,
03:21won the World Cup,
03:22built a hospital in Shaukat Khan,
03:24is a country's charismatic personality.
03:31And if you have a rivalry with him,
03:33then definitely,
03:35it is an insult to the people.
03:38You, publicly,
03:39and everyone else is watching,
03:41whoever has a legal right,
03:44if you have a position,
03:46then it is because of the law.
03:48The law has given it to you.
03:49If you misuse it,
03:51then you are doing something illegal.
03:53Imran Khan was arrested illegally.
03:56That is a valid allegation.
03:57And it should be questioned.
03:59It should be questioned.
04:00Why are they doing it illegally?
04:03But this country,
04:05first of all,
04:06I think there is no law in this country right now.
04:10This is a system of coercion and oppression.
04:13You think it is a valid allegation,
04:14but you are saying that
04:15there was no such decision
04:16to go outside GHQ.
04:17And sir,
04:18in the end,
04:19there is also one opinion,
04:20which Mr. Fawad Chaudhry has expressed,
04:22which I will tell you,
04:23because you are saying that
04:24we are going out on Friday.
04:26We are going out on Friday.
04:27And then we will increase the protest further.
04:28They think that
04:29they are in the street power.
04:31So the problem is not going to be solved like this.
04:32We will have to try some other way.
04:34I am telling you,
04:35you tell me,
04:36what is your opinion on this?
04:37Listen to what Mr. Fawad has to say.
04:38Now your street power is not with the PTI.
04:41Now these 20-25 people come,
04:44they get beaten up.
04:45Not at all.
04:464-5 people,
04:47the lawyers fail the next day.
04:4820 people,
04:49who get beaten up.
04:50No, no.
04:51Now look at this,
04:52why is it like this?
04:54It is like this because,
04:56see,
04:57a statement comes every day.
04:59One day it comes that
05:00we will talk to the army,
05:02and we will not talk to the political party.
05:06What is your opinion on this?
05:07Mr. Asad,
05:08then this will not happen,
05:09what they are saying,
05:10that less people come out,
05:11then half of them get arrested,
05:12then they get caught in the circle of bails,
05:13and get stuck.
05:15Look,
05:17first of all,
05:18we have not started a serious protest yet.
05:20What we are doing,
05:21we know that
05:22the situation is still bad.
05:26Yes, yes.
05:29Yes, Mr. Asad,
05:30can you hear me?
05:32Okay, I guess you cannot hear me.
