00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, I am Mary Ameerman, today's top stories are about Halal and Haraam protests.
00:16We will tell you about this in the first part of the program.
00:18Since November-December, Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaaf has set its hopes high.
00:21What is going to happen in November-December?
00:23What kind of courage and determination have they been tested?
00:26We will talk about this in the second part of the program.
00:28In the end, we will talk about the internet ban, the contradictions of the Noon League,
00:31some say there is no ban, some say there is a firewall, some say there is a fiberwall.
00:35We will talk about this in the last part of the program.
00:38But let's start.
00:39There are protests in Islamabad.
00:41There were protests in the country in 2014.
00:43Prior to that, different pressure groups used to come to Islamabad with their own protests.
00:47But there is a difference.
00:48Some protests are Halal.
00:50Some protests are Haraam.
00:52We will not go into history too much.
00:54Obviously, he said, she said.
00:56It becomes a water boundary.
00:58This happened with PMLN.
01:00This is happening with PTI.
01:02Let's leave this aside.
01:04Let's take a look at the recent one-month scorecard.
01:07You will know the difference between Halal and Haraam protests.
01:11From 13th to 19th July, TLP came to Islamabad.
01:14They chose Islamabad to keep their position on Palestine.
01:19When they closed the protests in different places for 6 days,
01:24the people of Islamabad were very upset.
01:26We saw that TLP people stayed on the streets of Islamabad for 6 days.
01:31They were told to stay on the streets for 146 days.
01:34But no one was able to say anything.
01:37The people of Islamabad were upset.
01:39People had to travel long distances.
01:41They had to drive for 1.5-1.5 hours.
01:44But they stayed on the streets for 6 days.
01:47On the other hand, we see that the protests of Jamaat-e-Islami are not Halal.
01:52We saw that the police arrested them.
01:54They beat them up.
01:56They are stopping the leadership from moving forward.
01:58This is the difference between Halal and Haraam protests.
02:01This is an Islamabad city.
02:03There is only one government.
02:04In just one month, there is a clear difference.
02:08The government formed a committee after 6 days of TLP protests.
02:12Rana Sanaullah, the information minister, was present.
02:15They had a discussion.
02:17They came to a decision.
02:19After that, the TLP people left.
02:22We saw that the government formed a committee for Jamaat-e-Islami as well.
02:27We saw that the information minister was present.
02:31He said that he will propose to the people of Jamaat-e-Islami
02:34to take away all the protests.
02:37What did the government say?
02:38What did they offer?
02:40I think that the leadership of Jamaat-e-Islami is very respectable for us.
02:45I would like to request Hafiz Naeem that
02:48the government is ready to form a discussion team.
02:54They are ready to sit with you and discuss these issues.
03:01Jamaat-e-Islami has started a small protest.
03:06Let's see how many discussions they have.
03:08How long will they sit?
03:10Will they be allowed to sit?
03:12Is Islamabad allowed to be jammed?
03:14No, this is yet to be decided.
03:16The government has asked them to talk to us.
03:18There is another Jamaat, Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaf.
03:20They have been asking their followers to come to Islamabad for a Jalsa.
03:24The court did not give permission for the first time.
03:26Fair enough, they left.
03:28They are legally involved in the issue of permits for the second time as well.
03:31They have postponed their protest.
03:34Jamaat-e-Islami, on the other hand, is protesting.
03:37The government is trying to influence them as well.
03:41The TLP people left after 6 days.
03:44This is the story of the protests in Pakistan.
03:49I think when people take a political step,
03:52the government is more strict.
03:56Those who are determined to be strict in the future,
03:59we will see that their attitude is not so harsh.
04:04We have with us Bilal Azhar Qayyani and Sheikh Faqah Saqib.
04:07Before your permission, I would like to ask Sheikh Saqib
04:09about his protest which did not take place today.
04:12Sheikh Saqib, what is the status of your protest?
04:14Is the situation up to date?
04:16Jamaat-e-Islami, on the other hand, did not get permission.
04:19They have reached Islamabad.
04:22Hafiz Naeem is leading the protest.
04:25Why did your protest not take place today?
04:29Look, there is a big difference between our protest and theirs.
04:33They only called for a protest in Islamabad.
04:36We called for a protest in the whole of Pakistan.
04:39We called for a protest in every district of Pakistan,
04:42in every district of Pakistan.
04:45We did not call for a protest in the city or district of Islamabad.
04:49So, let me explain to you.
04:51Since the day before yesterday,
04:53our workers' homes have been raided in the whole of Punjab.
04:56Our councillors, our chairmen, union councillors,
04:59the police, the special branch, the CTD,
05:02have been forced to sign surety bonds of 25 lakhs or 50 lakhs.
05:06I have also spoken to the MPAs in our Faisalabad.
05:0915-16 people have been arrested in their every district.
05:13I have also spoken to the Gujranwala.
05:15Our MPAs' dens, their prison vans,
05:18our MNAs' dens have been blocked.
05:22In Lahore, in some places,
05:29there was a lot of violence.
05:31Because the Wahhabis did not let anyone in.
05:34They did not let anyone in.
05:36I will tell you in detail.
05:41I will tell you in detail.
05:43My brother was called and told by the police
05:47that we will close your eyes.
05:50We will close your eyes.
05:52So, in every district of Punjab,
05:55you see Zartaj Gul,
05:57when the villagers went to his city house
06:00and tried to protest there,
06:02he was taken into custody.
06:04Every MNA, MPA, every Obeedwar,
06:07every officeholder of the district,
06:10ticket holder,
06:12everything was jammed.
06:14But I feel very happy to tell you
06:17that in spite of this,
06:19in every district of Punjab,
06:21in every Tehseen,
06:23somewhere small, somewhere big,
06:25somewhere a rally,
06:27somewhere inside Char-Dewari,
06:29somewhere outside Char-Dewari,
06:31there has been a protest.
06:33We have put its footages on Facebook,
06:35on Twitter.
06:37Obviously, we do not run the channels.
06:39You see, whenever we announce a protest,
06:41in Punjab, the number of protests is 144.
06:43Every person has protested
06:45at the cost of their lives.
06:47Every MNA, MPA,
06:49in Sheikhupura today,
06:51there was a big protest.
06:53Our MPAs came out.
06:55There was their protest.
06:57The police tried to stop them.
06:59They tried to push the elders.
07:01You see, and then,
07:03in every district of KP,
07:05there has been an excellent crowd.
07:07In Sindh, comparatively,
07:09KP is not like Punjab,
07:11but there too,
07:13there has been an excellent crowd.
07:15So, when there is a comparison,
07:17we cannot take the risk of the
07:19Jamaat-e-Islami.
07:21We came out in every city
07:23and every district of Pakistan.
07:25Okay, but you still legally
07:27have permission.
07:29Last time, you did not get permission.
07:31Even now, you still have legal
07:33permission problems.
07:35Look, Maria, we are stuck in the
07:37issue of permission in Islamabad.
07:39What do you think, the people
07:41of Punjab do not have permission.
07:43They are being given leaflets.
07:45They have been beaten up since last night.
07:47Look, permission is our right.
07:49Peaceful protest is our right.
07:51If you do not give us our right,
07:53people will take that right.
07:55People have done it in Punjab today.
07:57I will share all the footage with you.
07:59If you can show it,
08:01then show where people have come
08:03from in Punjab.
08:05So, that is not our comparison.
08:07Our country was wide.
08:09You have to respect the courts.
08:11If you file a request in the courts,
08:13you have to respect them.
08:15But there, they said on Monday.
08:17So, on Monday, we will come out
08:19with full force.
08:21Your point is right.
08:23It is easy to be in the government
08:25or not.
08:27I have said this about three different protests.
08:29Two weeks ago, TLP was present.
08:31We have not seen it in Islamabad.
08:33In the name of God,
08:35thank you very much for inviting us.
08:37Look,
08:39I agree with you.
08:41The people of Punjab
08:43and the people of Islamabad
08:45had to face
08:47the difficulties
08:49for six days.
08:51This should not have happened.
08:53I am sure the government
08:55wanted to wrap up this matter
08:57before that.
08:59Eventually, this happened.
09:01I agree with you
09:03that this has become a tradition.
09:05The people of Punjab
09:07and the people of Islamabad
09:09had to face
09:11the difficulties
09:13for six days.
09:15This should not have happened.
09:17We have to break this tradition.
09:19You should assign a place.
09:21The people of Punjab
09:23and the people of Islamabad
09:25had to face
09:27the difficulties
09:29for six days.
09:31You should assign a place.
09:33The people of Punjab
09:35and the people of Islamabad
09:37had to face
09:39the difficulties
09:41for six days.
09:43You should assign a place.
09:45The people of Punjab
09:47and the people of Islamabad
09:49had to face
09:51the difficulties
09:53for six days.
09:55You should assign a place.
09:57The people of Punjab
09:59and the people of Islamabad
10:01had to face
10:03the difficulties
10:05for six days.
10:07You should assign a place.
10:09The people of Punjab
10:11and the people of Islamabad
10:13had to face
10:15the difficulties
10:17for six days.
10:19You should assign a place.
10:21The people of Punjab
10:23and the people of Islamabad
10:25had to face
10:27the difficulties
10:29for six days.
10:59On a serious note,
11:01On a serious note,
11:03the incident of 9th May
11:05was just one event
11:07in a series of events
11:09in the history of PTI.
11:11If you look at the Supreme Court
11:13hanging clothes,
11:15the attack on the PTV building,
11:17the attack on Zaman Park,
11:19the law enforcement agencies
11:21and the police
11:23have been frightened
11:25after the permission
11:27handcuffs.
11:29They were attacking
11:31the plane of the
11:41Books.
11:43These things
11:45happened around
11:47the same time
11:49in the past
11:51ten to twelve years.
11:53Remember
11:55If you remove Imran Khan as a political figure,
11:58someone else is doing it in the country,
12:00and he has been doing it for 10-12 years,
12:02then you will also say that this is too much.
12:04But it is happening.
12:05It happened in 2017, 2019, and now it has happened in 2024.
12:08You told them to wait for 6 days.
12:10Neither Imran Khan can be removed from this country,
12:12nor can Imran Khan be removed from people's hearts.
12:14As far as the TLP protest is concerned,
12:16What happened in 2017, 2019, and 2024?
12:18At that time, there were a lot of heartbreaking incidents
12:21when police forces went there
12:23to remove Imran Khan's legal setting,
12:25and they were attacked.
12:27So, I will never condone it or accept it.
12:30So, how long has 144 been in place?
12:32Is it final?
12:33Until these people want to do politics in Islamabad?
12:35I don't know about their particulars,
12:37but I know that their process is going on with the administration.
12:40But the problem is that how many times
12:42have they been given the permission to protest?
12:45And how many times have they violated it?
12:47You must remember that once Imran Khan
12:50was leading a march,
12:52he got permission for I-8.
12:54And he decided.
12:56And that day, Imran Khan said,
12:57No, I will go.
12:58And the next day, when the matter arose in the court,
13:00I remember that a judge said,
13:02Maybe they didn't get the message.
13:04Although he himself had said that
13:06last evening he told me on the container,
13:08The message has reached, we will go.
13:10So see, there is a repeated history of this party,
13:13violating whatever they agree,
13:15whether it's inside parliament,
13:16whether it's particular to protests.
13:18They have been making these agreements again and again.
13:20So that's why if they feel that
13:22there is any more hesitation from the administration,
13:25then there is also a reason for it.
13:27And they have made this justification
13:29with all their hard work.
13:31The administration is on their hands,
13:33they can hesitate.
13:34Mr. Sheikh, then this justification
13:36must be some kind of confidence building measure,
13:38that it won't work,
13:40the trees won't burn.
13:42No, first of all,
13:44let me tell you this.
13:46The administration
13:48says that
13:50we are forced to come here.
13:52They say in Punjabi,
13:54they give them two slaps.
13:56Then they say to us,
13:58we are helpless, we don't want to stop you.
14:00We are also like Imran Khan.
14:02We also want you to come out for us.
14:04You come out for Imran Khan.
14:06You come out against this expensiveness.
14:08The leaders of Mr. Kiani,
14:10who have snatched and looted
14:12and made a government here,
14:14the electric poles that they are installing every day,
14:16they say that we are helpless.
14:18We have been humiliated by the government.
14:20They say, we will also come out with you.
14:22In fact, I have seen in some uniforms
14:24that they have come out with us in some sessions.
14:26So people want to protest everywhere.
14:28This is our constitutional democratic right.
14:30Just from the 144th time,
14:32no one's mouth,
14:34not even the single largest party,
14:36not even the biggest party in Pakistan,
14:38can be shut.
14:40But Mr. Sheikh, they say that
14:42they don't follow the guarantees.
14:44This is my word against his word.
14:46They don't act.
14:48They have given an example.
14:50There are tens of thousands of such examples.
14:52At the time when they were
14:54campaigning against the governments,
14:56what were they saying and doing?
14:58You tell me, Maria,
15:00what choice does the opposition have?
15:02You tell me,
15:04how many choices does the opposition have
15:06to raise their voice for their right?
15:08After all, this choice is left
15:10that the 144th time,
15:12we have to protest against
15:14what is being done only for us.
15:16But let me make it very clear to them.
15:18Any time,
15:20we are talking about the agreement,
15:22the agreement of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
15:24and Imran Khan is with the people.
15:26The agreement is that we will
15:28get this country out of them.
15:30We will take the country to a better place.
15:32Okay, how will this happen?
15:34I will go to the break.
15:36I will come back after the break.
15:38From yesterday, we have seen
15:40Welcome back.
15:42Yesterday, we heard a statement
15:44of Umar Ayub,
15:46who came out and
15:48spoke to the media.
15:50And what he said in that
15:52was very interesting.
15:54Because he said that
15:56the PMILN,
15:58which wants to fight
16:00the army,
16:02that is, the commander-in-chief,
16:04because these are his own words,
16:06he wants to fight
16:08Tehreek-e-Insaf.
16:10This is very interesting
16:12because it is being
16:14carefully dissociated
16:16with the previous statements.
16:18And this impression is being given
16:20that the Noon League
16:22is doing all this.
16:24Let's hear
16:26the context in which Umar Ayub
16:28spoke.
16:30The government of Shahbaz Sharif
16:32and this PDM is facing
16:34the Pak army and Tehreek-e-Insaf.
16:36These people want to
16:38bring out their evil.
16:40God willing, we will never let this happen.
16:42And neither will the commander-in-chief
16:44or General Asim Munir let this happen.
16:46Okay, I think
16:48Umar Ayub, although he is
16:50in a very responsible position,
16:52this political statement cannot be made.
16:54It can only be a party policy,
16:56but it was strengthened
16:58when Aleema Khan
17:00said more or less that the government
17:02of PMILN and PDM wants to fight
17:04with the army.
17:06They have completely lost.
17:08They want the army and PTI
17:10to confront each other.
17:12They want to have a PTI fight
17:14with the army.
17:16Our army is the backbone of Pakistan
17:18and it should be respected.
17:20This is our very precious army.
17:22It is very precious for the security
17:24of this country.
17:26Mr. Sheikh, I have spoken to you
17:28many times about these programs.
17:30Tehreek-e-Insaf's categorical position
17:32is that we do not want to talk
17:34to the politicians because
17:36they do not have any authority.
17:38You will talk directly to Muqtada.
17:40Now to say that the politicians
17:42and PDM have so much authority
17:44that they want to fight
17:46with your army.
17:48What is this?
17:50Do they have authority or not?
17:52Do they have everything in their hands
17:54to make you fight?
17:56If you allow me,
17:58I will clarify a little.
18:00I think that
18:02to fight,
18:04you do not need authority.
18:06You need satanism.
18:08And satanism is usually done
18:10by those who do not have
18:12the desire for authority.
18:14They do not even have the authority
18:16to exercise authority.
18:18You have asked a good question.
18:20You have fully supported my point.
18:22We are saying that because
18:24they do not have authority.
18:26Punjabi people do not use
18:28their authority.
18:30They are doing satanism.
18:32Give an example of satanism.
18:34Where did they make you fight?
18:36There are so many
18:38internal communications
18:40that reach you
18:42from time to time.
18:44And many times,
18:46incidentally, they try to pitch
18:48such things that
18:50Pakistan Tariq-e-Ansar
18:52is against Pakistan.
18:54We have always been talking
18:56about Pakistan.
18:58The position of the party
19:00is also in front of you.
19:02But in terms of Pakistan,
19:04security forces,
19:06Pakistan Tariq-e-Ansar
19:08has always been clear.
19:10They want to create
19:12such an atmosphere.
19:14They show you such
19:16promos on TV.
19:18They try to remind you
19:20again and again
19:22that God forbid,
19:24a month ago,
19:26I have repeatedly said
19:28on different programs
19:30that they want to use it.
19:32Today, the same thing has come.
19:34Spreading these misunderstandings.
19:36Because the shop was not running.
19:38The work that was given
19:40is not being delivered.
19:42Now what is the fear?
19:44Why do they want to stop the protest?
19:46If people have joined
19:48this protest,
19:50then there will be devastation.
19:52You had a Twitter handle
19:54that the person was on one side
19:56and the institution was on the other.
19:58After that, you were called
20:00a digital terrorist.
20:02This is also a part of the record.
20:04Then there was no sign of your party.
20:06This is a long story.
20:08This is done by the PMLN.
20:10I think
20:12who is the beneficiary
20:14of this
20:16confrontation?
20:18Who is the beneficiary
20:20at this time?
20:22These are the beneficiaries.
20:24If in the institution
20:26and in the institution members
20:28there is a disagreement
20:30in any political party
20:32and it goes on for a long time.
20:34If a non-league beneficiary
20:36comes out of it, then the
20:38causes of satanism are the same.
20:40And if this neutrality happens,
20:42then there is no problem
20:44with the current commander-in-chief?
20:46Look, Mr. Khan has given
20:48his statements.
20:50As a party rep, I have no right
20:52to retrieve or withdraw
20:54Mr. Khan's statements.
20:56Okay, fine.
20:58You want to make them
21:00fight.
21:02The real problem is
21:04to gain authority.
21:06But they will not let this happen.
21:08Is this a surprise for you?
21:10Is this news?
21:12Or is it your joke that you really want to make them fight?
21:14No, no. I would say
21:16that on one hand,
21:18they say that we do not want to talk to them
21:20in political parties.
21:22They have nothing in their hands.
21:24We want to talk to those who did this
21:26and did that against us.
21:28This was said a few weeks ago.
21:30They said that you do not have authority.
21:32So, you are doing all this to gain authority.
21:34No, no. How did we make them fight?
21:36You yourself said that you do not want to talk to us
21:38because you think we have nothing.
21:40When we do not have anything,
21:42then you...
21:44I am saying
21:46that
21:48first of all,
21:50they were wrong before
21:52and now they are right.
21:54Both things cannot work together.
21:56Secondly, they say that we made them fight.
21:58So, we made them fight in the same way
22:00that we made them fight on 9th May.
22:02On 9th May, we put their political
22:04and media faces on the streets
22:06wearing PTI dupattas and putting PTI flags
22:08on the cars. We brought them out.
22:10And we brought their workers out.
22:12You are also doing this.
22:14This is not a very subtle U-turn.
22:16This is again a search for bastards.
22:18I will give you an example of this
22:20by Mr. Khan recently.
22:22In April 2022, he said that a certain person
22:24has overthrown my government.
22:26A few months later, he is sitting with the same person.
22:28He is negotiating with the same person.
22:30On the request of the same person,
22:32Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the ASMD of Punjab
22:34made a statement. I am not saying this.
22:36Mr. Khan himself admitted this on TV.
22:38Two days ago, on 9th May,
22:40Mr. Khan himself made a statement.
22:42If you look at the past few months
22:44and weeks,
22:46from the official accounts of PTI,
22:48against the army chief,
22:50against the army,
22:52what kind of despicable campaign
22:54has been going on in front of you?
22:56Forget the past few years,
22:58look at the past few weeks.
23:00In fact, I think you should leave it.
23:02Two or three days ago, when DGISPR
23:04held a press conference,
23:06in which they mentioned Azm-e-Istaqam,
23:08who are they trying to fool?
23:10If there is a new desperation
23:12in the search of witnesses today,
23:14that can happen.
23:16Otherwise, no one can be fooled.
23:18What has changed in the last four days?
23:20I want to answer you.
23:22Earlier, the word misunderstanding was used.
23:24The party thought that the situation
23:26has reached its limit.
23:28The security situation, the economic situation,
23:30all the misunderstanding
23:32or the confrontation that has happened so far,
23:34if things go beyond this
23:36because of the party,
23:38then as a whole,
23:40for the state,
23:42it will not be right.
23:44Anarchy, division, destruction,
23:46this is not right at all.
23:48As for the misunderstanding,
23:50he is my brother,
23:52I answered earlier,
23:54he doesn't want to actually understand,
23:56but he does understand,
23:58he is a smart man,
24:00he is a sensible man.
24:02I just want to tell you that
24:04the party that is getting special seats,
24:06the party that has been considered
24:08a parliamentary party,
24:10which has crores of voters,
24:12and the party that is going
24:14to become a single majority party
24:16in the National Assembly,
24:18they need basaqis.
24:20They need basaqis.
24:22They need basaqis.
24:24We are talking about a smear campaign.
24:26We are talking about a niche campaign.
24:28He is my brother.
24:30I did not expect this word from him.
24:32When you say something against
24:34this great man of the country,
24:36that his wife's crushes and
24:38this kind of nonsense,
24:40the people of your party do it.
24:42That is also an objectionable point.
24:44Again, four days ago,
24:46I heard Umar Ayub's press conference.
24:48On the same day,
24:50we all heard another press conference
24:52from Muktidara's representative.
24:54This language was not there that day,
24:56this mood was not there,
24:58this tone was not there.
25:00I think this country belongs to all of us.
25:02The tone has not changed at all.
25:04There is a stance in front of you,
25:06and that is that
25:08as far as we have reached,
25:10there is no further misunderstanding
25:12in favour of the state.
25:14What has happened in this
25:16that we have asked someone's permission?
25:18The blame is shifting
25:20towards the political parties and the PDM.
25:22Earlier, you thought that
25:24they are helpless,
25:26they are beneficiaries.
25:28When the incident of 9th May took place,
25:30whose government was it?
25:32It was their government.
25:34Similarly, who was the Prime Minister?
25:36It was Shahbaz Sharif.
25:38Now you tell me,
25:40take out the programs of that time.
25:42Didn't we say that
25:44the Noon League is involved
25:46in the 9th May incident?
25:48Our people's statements are there.
25:50Who was the beneficiary?
25:52The Noon League was the beneficiary.
25:54There is a difference between
25:56the Noon League and the Noon League.
26:00I am talking about the beneficiary.
26:02I am not talking about the instigator.
26:04It is in the interest of the beneficiary
26:06that the matters
26:08should never be straight.
26:10I want to say with clarity
26:12that there has been no change
26:14in tone or toner.
26:16There should be no further misunderstanding
26:18that they want to spread.
26:20Things are not being controlled by them.
26:22People are waiting for them with sticks.
26:24They are not being able to deliver.
26:26Instead of a positive performance,
26:28they have failed.
26:30People are cursing them.
26:32We want this matter
26:34not to go ahead.
26:36That is why Khan has also asked
26:38for a new election.
26:40The message given by Mr. Khan
26:42should be seen by the institutions themselves.
26:44Who are these people
26:46who have been made to sit
26:48and who have been forced by the government
26:50and who are not even capable
26:52of carrying out their own
26:54political engagements?
26:56Remember that the people
26:58who do not carry out their own
27:00political engagements
27:02are now dead weight.
27:04The election that you spoke about
27:06in November and December
27:08was started by Tariq-e-Insaf.
27:10This happened when Umar Ayub Khan
27:12again came out and said
27:14that everyone should prepare for the election.
27:16Asad Qaisar is giving the
27:18timeline of December.
27:22Let's listen to the announcement
27:24made by Mr. Khan.

36:24...
36:26...
36:28...
36:30...
36:32...
36:34...
36:36...
36:38...
36:40...
36:42...
36:44crisis, Microsoft had a bug and because of that update, everything happened.
36:49Only Pakistan or Bangladesh, we want to bring Bangladesh model,
36:53everything is happening there.
36:55Now the government, I think, clearly has only one way,
36:59to gaslight and pretend that this is not happening.
37:02Fariha Aziz Sahiba is with us, she is a digital rights activist.
37:05So if you complain about anything, Fariha, if you talk about anything,
37:08the government will say that this is not happening,
37:10this is happening to you, this is happening to the whole world.
37:12So gaslighting is our national policy in this regard.
37:20Let's try to get in touch with Fariha Aziz Sahiba again.
37:24Because the government said in this regard that
37:28this firewall, someone is saying that we have kept it,
37:33someone is saying that we have not kept it,
37:35someone is saying that we are trying,
37:36someone is saying that we are not trying,
37:37the information minister is saying that the internet is not slowing down.
37:39So in confusion, in a controlled chaos, in confusion,
37:43if we take Fariha Aziz Sahiba on the phone,
37:46because we have limited time, we are talking to her.
37:48Yes, Fariha, is there a firewall or not?
37:51The government is saying that the internet was not slowing down.
37:53Now you see, I myself have dropped it,
37:56I have updated the broadband, I don't know how much it lasts.
37:59So there are problems in the internet,
38:02and for many months, in fact, since the beginning of the year,
38:05there have been problems that the internet is slowing down,
38:08there is throttling.
38:09After that, what we saw with WhatsApp disruption,
38:12that is perhaps the first evidence of sorts
38:15that what level of capability or deployment has been done.
38:18Now the owners of the technical glitch will say
38:22that the technical glitch is a global disruption,
38:24which is not at all.
38:25And now, as you said, the references that have been given,
38:29that it is being admitted that yes, something is stuck,
38:32but what is being said that London and the US and here,
38:36and about this defamation law,
38:38they never give a reference that what is specifically.
38:42And such a firewall is not at all.
38:45If you are giving references to the UK and the US,
38:48then not at all, especially about institutions,
38:51neither are laws used in that way,
38:53nor is technology used in that way.
38:55If you add up, then China or the UAE,
39:00but if you look at those regimes,
39:02then either we are on paper,
39:04but whether there is democracy or not,
39:06first determine this.
39:08After that, when they say that it happens here, it happens there,
39:11but they do not give any reference.
39:13And here the rule of law is also missing.
39:16Those protections are also missing, which are in other places.
39:19So Fariha, are there any countries in the world
39:21where firewalls are installed
39:23and they are monitoring the data of their citizens,
39:25controlling it, censoring it, successfully doing it?
39:28In some countries, for example, China, Russia,
39:32is this the same kind of firewall?
39:34Yes, look, the example of China is given,
39:37and the word firewall also comes from there,
39:40in this context, the context of political control.
39:44But the firewall of China,
39:46which is called the Great Firewall or the Golden Shield,
39:49China is structured in a very different way.
39:53All its infrastructure is local.
39:57All your applications, etc.
40:00So the presence of companies there is done in two ways.
40:03One is obvious,
40:05to what extent access is being technologically controlled.
40:09But this does not mean that people do not use VPNs in China.
40:13With that, the regulation function comes,
40:15that if VPNs are monitored or registered,
40:18or to you people,
40:20it is obvious that it is not anonymity,
40:22or if you bought it through a card,
40:24then you have access to it.
40:26So that is the whole system.
40:29Now, if we are told that we are going towards the system of China,
40:32that is a different thing.
40:34Even in the UAE, we see that WhatsApp calls cannot be made,
40:38it is also restricted there,
40:40there is also company compliance there.
40:42But where do we have to go?
40:44And then it is obvious that we have a political environment,
40:47we have a particular context.
40:49And people's employment is also linked to the internet in this country,
40:52many industries.
40:53Thank you very much for being with us.
40:55The program is over.
40:56Do not forget to give your feedback.
40:57Take care. Goodbye.
