00:00Mr. Salman, taking advantage of your presence, let me ask you a few legal and legal questions first.

00:04Both of you are my lawyers. The third one is also a lawyer.

00:07This is what the Election Commission has said.

00:09Do you think that the grounds of the Election Commission are correct in this?

00:13If there is no party structure, then how can we confirm the affiliation of these 48 members?

00:19Look, if I use the words of the Election Commission in the right way,

00:26then there is definitely an ill-intention.

00:28At this time, when we are sitting here,

00:30Mr. Gauhar Khan is the chairman of PTI,

00:33Mr. Umar Ayub is the secretary-general.

00:35His letters are written daily.

00:37The Election Commission addresses him as the chairman of PTI.

00:41It addresses the other officials.

00:44If their intention is to set aside the last intraparty election tomorrow,

00:50and declare it invalid tomorrow,

00:52then they should have kept a little veil.

00:54They should not have expressed their intention today.

00:57Today, when this confirmation has been filed,

01:00this confirmation has been filed with the signature of the chairman and secretary-general of PTI.

01:05Therefore, the confirmation has been made by PTI,

01:08and the obedience to the Supreme Court's order has been done.

01:11Now, if tomorrow they say that they do not believe that Gauhar Khan and Umar Ayub,

01:16the chairman and secretary-general, were elected correctly,

01:18then there is a very consistent principle in our law,

01:21which we call de facto doctrine.

01:23The color of office doctrine.

01:25Today, they have the authority to do the work that they had to do.

01:30Therefore, they have done the work on behalf of the party.

01:34They are presented daily by the party.

01:37They enter the documents.

01:38The Election Commission accepts them.

01:40The case that is being filed regarding the intraparty election,

01:43which is still going on,

01:45they are given a notice daily as chairman of PTI.

01:48And what is written in that notice?

01:50Chairman PTI Barista Gauhar.

01:52Yes.

01:53Is this written by them?

01:54Yes, it is written.

01:55Now, they say that there is no organizational structure.

01:57That is why I said that this is a funny thing,

02:00and it goes against morality.

02:03Well, their bias is clear.

02:05This bias of the Election Commission of Pakistan has been visible for a long time.

02:09Do you see any legal hitch in this?

02:11Or do you think that this is a de facto doctrine?

02:13The Supreme Court will also say that the letters that you have been writing,

02:16and to whom you keep saying that Mr. Chairman,

02:18you should be present in such and such thing,

02:20or you should also be present in such and such thing.

02:22They have given confirmation.

02:24The Secretary General has also given confirmation with them.

02:26So it is done.

02:27Tomorrow they say that we do not believe you, Chairman,

02:30we do not believe you, Secretary General.

02:32So it will be seen.

02:33In my opinion, it will not make any difference.

02:35But when this matter comes before the Supreme Court,

02:38if it comes,

02:39they have filed a review,

02:40then this matter will be settled in my opinion at that time.

02:43Therefore, such childish things should not be done,

02:46from which the stature of a big institution is reduced.

02:49You are saying it is even smaller.

02:51Yes, it is even smaller.

02:53You have clarified it.

02:55Thank you very much.

02:57I say this again and again,

02:59agreeing with you.

03:01See, institutions are not the adversaries of any political party.

03:05And you should not even see that you are working against someone.

03:11Here it is seen that there is an adversarial relationship.

03:13No, here we have fought against the entire election commission.

03:16In every step we took,

03:18there was no political party in front of us.

03:21It was the election commission.

03:23Exactly.

03:24And the way many decisions were made,

03:26I mean, the thing on which there is only malice,

03:28like the election of the party,

03:30that decision was kept safe,

03:32a few days before the election,

03:34that decision was kept safe,

03:36that the party should not be re-elected,

03:38that it should not be eligible for the symbol.

03:40It is seen that they wanted this to happen.

03:42That they wanted to walk on this path,

03:44to take the symbol of the baton.

03:46Do you see any elections happening this year?

03:48What is Mr. Khan's expectation that there will be an election this year?

03:51What is going on?

03:52But there are two things.

03:53If you say, I will first tell you its background.

03:55Sure.

03:56Mr. Umar Ayyub has said this.

03:58What did Mr. Umar say?

03:59Go and listen.

04:00We also want to convey this message to the nation

04:02on behalf of Prime Minister Imran Khan,

04:04to prepare for a new general election.

04:06If there will be a new general election,

04:08then the country will progress.

04:10This PDM government,

04:11Shabar Sharif government,

04:12Mariam Nawaz government,

04:13they have lost everything.

04:15They have drowned.

04:17Do you see any election atmosphere?

04:19But there are two things.

04:20First, whenever a party is in opposition,

04:23to keep its workers in a good spirit,

04:26to give them hope,

04:28it always thinks that,

04:29and says that elections will be held very soon.

04:32So that the workers remain charged,

04:33and do not lose hope.

04:35We have been in opposition,

04:37we have seen that our leaders are coming to elections.

04:40Do not lose hope.

04:42Let me tell you one more thing,

04:43which is different this time.

04:44Every minister of a government of 4-6 months,

04:47in every press conference,

04:48says that the government will complete 5 years.

04:50These statements do not come so soon,

04:52not even from the government.

04:53Now, moving away from that,

04:55my own thought is that,

04:57moral legitimacy is a big thing.

05:01Public sanction is a big thing.

05:03The government that is suffering

05:05from this crisis so badly,

05:07like this government is suffering,

05:09that if you go to the embassies in Islamabad,

05:12they also smile.

05:14The friends of Muslim League Noon,

05:16come and sit with us on TV channels,

05:18or meet us somewhere else.

05:19They also smile when they go out.

05:21They do not smile, sir.

05:22Let me tell you,

05:23there were some other anchors in front of me, my friends.

05:25They themselves agree.

05:26They say, which vote have we got?

05:28So now people have agreed.

05:29I am not talking about one,

05:30I am talking about multiple people,

05:32who have said in front of me.

05:33So where there is this situation,

05:35and the children of the country know,

05:37that those who have been entrusted with the government,

05:39or those who have been imposed on the country,

05:42they do not have the moral legitimacy

05:44to sit on that chair there.

05:47If they do not win the elections,

05:49then that government cannot run for a long time.

05:51And the crisis in which we have gone,

05:53on one hand there is a security crisis,

05:55on the other hand there is a crisis of the economy,

05:57and all the matters…

05:59Political crisis is very big.

06:02Some people think that the final round has started,

06:06and we have gone into the final round.

06:08And something has got to give.

06:10Matters will not be able to go on like this.

06:12So what is the way out of that?

06:15Today all these people agree,

06:17institutions are written in the newspapers,

06:19TV channels are talked about,

06:21everyone is saying that the matters have become very serious.

06:24But then you will be told that the economy is very bad,

06:27the money for the elections…

06:28So where do we have to go from here?

06:30What is the way out of this deadlock?

06:33What is the way out of this deadlock?

06:35Put restrictions on them,

06:37put Article 6 on them,

06:39throw them out of politics,

06:41keep them in jail.

06:43This is a non-serious matter.

06:45But this is the only way they have.

06:47Tell me one thing, this is a fight for survival.

06:49But there are problems on that path too.

06:51I think that a series of failures are happening.

06:53Whatever happened on 8th,

06:55was not expected at all.

06:57Then the control over the judiciary

06:59was lost.

07:01Then the operation was announced,

07:03all the communities,

07:05especially Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,

07:07expressed their reservations.

07:09The matter of reserve seats was lost.

07:11Now this matter of restrictions,

07:13the voices are being raised from within

07:15the communities that are sitting in the government.
