00:00The Supreme Court's decision today is a clear one by the way, and it has an almost indictment against the Election Commission of Pakistan.

00:08So, with that in mind, things have changed a little, Mr. Barista.

00:11Yesterday, I was listening to you, you were very confident that you have the numbers.

00:16Let's ask this question again today.

00:18In light of this decision, will you have the numbers that you are thinking of bringing for this constitutional amendment?

00:25Thank you very much.

00:27As confident as I was yesterday, I am still very confident and in the same spirit of confidence.

00:34Even today, I say that the numbers are complete.

00:36How will they be complete? Please break it down.

00:38Did Mr. Maulana give you a commitment?

00:40I can't confirm or deny anything right now, but I saw it on the media today.

00:44I met him yesterday.

00:45His journalist brother also reported.

00:49With the Prime Minister?

00:50Yes, of course.

00:51I met him yesterday, and there is nothing wrong with that.

00:55Of course, all things are being looked at to develop consensus among other political parties.

01:03And of course, when this Charter of Democracy was passed in 2006,

01:08in the same spirit, all things are being looked at in this regard in 2024.

01:12And I think there is a need for time.

01:14And I am on record as saying that the Parliamentary Committee should have a meaningful and purposeful role in the appointment of all judges.

01:25We are stopping ourselves from using it as a rubber stamp, and we have to change all this.

01:31But with a broader consensus, all these legal reforms should be looked at, and they are being looked at.

01:39And the options that are in front of us right now…

01:44Is Mr. Maulana on board?

01:45Look, I can't confirm or deny this.

01:50Okay, if there is no objection, then we will consider it as a confirmation.

01:54But apart from that, your vote is not complete.

01:57You also need the votes of three free people, right?

02:00Whether they are of the Justice Movement or not, that is also a matter of interpretation between the Election Commission and the Supreme Court.

02:05But you need those three votes, right?

02:06Look, as of now, I stand by the statement I gave yesterday.

02:11Right now, as of now, and tomorrow, and beyond that, I think their status is still in the air.

02:21They are independents.

02:22And the Election Commission can tell you this, but the order that has come in light of this short order has created even more confusion.

02:34No, no.

02:40No, they have made it very clear.

02:42They have said that he is from the PTI.

02:44Mr. Gauhar is the chairman of that party.

02:46He is the 41st out of 41 people who have filed an appeal.

02:48They have made it very clear that this is the way of justice.

02:51No one should think that he is free.

02:52Look, the role of one institution cannot be assumed by another institution.

02:56This is the job of the Election Commission of Pakistan.

02:59And they are the regulators for anything pertaining to election matters.

03:03The Supreme Court cannot decide on its own whether to distribute party certificates or hand out party certificates.

03:10Or tell a political party or a candidate that you are from this party or that party.

03:15There should be an interpretation.

03:17Absolutely.

03:18There is no doubt about this.

03:19There is no doubt about this.

03:20But there is one thing for sure.

03:21When the regulator has asked for this,

03:24because there was a misunderstanding,

03:26now in the constitution and the law,

03:31it is clearly written for 3 days.

03:33And how will these 3 days be 15 days?

03:35First, there will be a detailed order.

03:37So, I think there will be an explanation on many things.

03:40How will this decision be justified with the constitutional provision?

03:46That is why after the short order,

03:48the detailed order that has come,

03:50of 4 pages,

03:51which was given by the Honourable Judge,

03:53there is more confusion on this decision.

03:56At present, I stand by it.

03:59These 41 are actually independent.

04:01And you will remember,

04:03in the Election Act of 2017,

04:06in the month of August,

04:08we brought the amendments last month.

04:10And in those amendments, we further clarified

04:12that when a person submits his certificate,

04:17and when the certificate is accepted,

04:20then you cannot compel them.

04:22You cannot, through a court order,

04:25tell them that you are not in this Jamaat,

04:27you are in that Jamaat.

04:28Because, according to our imaginative interpretation,

04:33you belong to a particular Jamaat.

04:35So, if I say that the Supreme Court's

04:37detailed decision today,

04:38you are disregarding it?

04:39Look, I believe that this order

04:41creates even more confusion.

04:44So, what will you do legally after that?

04:46Because the Supreme Court has given clarity
