00:00You know that the latest issue in Pakistan is the 26th amendment, which is not going to happen.
00:09As you can see from the last week, there were a lot of activities in Islamabad.
00:16The politics was very hot.
00:18Viewers, I would like to tell you an incident.
00:21This is the incident of 2010, when the 18th amendment was implemented.
00:25In the 18th amendment, the Parliament was encouraged that the input of the Parliamentary Committee will be final.
00:37And if the Judicial Commission makes a recommendation, if the Parliamentary Committee has any objection to it,
00:44then the Parliamentary Committee's opinion will be accepted, not the Judicial Commission's.
00:49At that time, the love of Pakistan Muslim League Noon was very young.
00:54And at that time, the Chief Justice, Chaudhry, Iftihar Muhammad Chaudhry, was with him.
01:00And Asif Ali Zardari made him understand a lot that don't do this.
01:04But the Pakistan Muslim League Noon supported Iftihar Muhammad Chaudhry.
01:10And then, you know, the 19th amendment came.
01:13And the power that the Parliament had, which was a legitimate power, which was a legitimate oversight, was abolished.
01:24And then, you know, a Supreme Court decision was also issued.
01:28The order to abolish the constitutional amendment was then implemented on that order.
01:34Now, this constitutional amendment that is coming, there are a lot of points in it.
01:38There are about fifty-five different recommendations that have to be implemented.
01:45The recommendations have come, but you know, there was a problem in the middle.
01:49The focus in it is currently in the Supreme Court, in terms of amendments,
01:55in terms of posting transfers of high court judges,
01:59and in terms of making such a Federal Constitution Court,
02:06whose nature is such that it will be increased and the status of the current Supreme Court will be abolished.
02:13The amendments that have come before us so far, how much truth is there in it, we will talk about it.
02:19But first of all, there is only one issue, that there is no doubt that there is no second opinion in it.
02:25The government of the time has the power.
02:27If you have a majority in the Parliament, then the Parliament can implement any kind of constitutional amendment.
02:36But for that, it is also very important that in a democratic country,
02:40whatever you want to do, you do it publicly.
02:44You discuss it in the Parliament.
02:46Especially, it is obvious that at the moment,
02:50Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman Sahib, Jama'at Ulama-e-Islam of Pakistan,
02:54this whole matter was raised by him.
02:56Because when it comes to the number game,
03:00the character of Jama'at Ulama-e-Islam and Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman Sahib becomes very important.
03:05So Hafiz Hamdullah Sahib told a television channel today,
03:09that this is the first such incident that they are going to do something.
03:13But this is a document, they have kept it a secret till now.
03:16How is it possible that you are going to do such an important work,
03:19and you have kept this document a secret?
03:22When the government or the parties involved in the government want to make these amendments,
03:27first tell me, are these amendments made in the interest of the country and the people?
03:32If they say that they are made in the interest of the country and the people,
03:35then why are they kept hidden?
03:37Neither does the opposition know about these amendments,
03:39nor do the united Jama'ats of the government know.
03:42They do not even know what is in this document,
03:45which is the original document.
03:47It is being hidden.
03:49When it is being hidden from the opposition,
03:51from its united Jama'ats,
03:53and from the ministers of its cabinet,
03:55then what kind of amendments and documents are these?
04:00When you say that you are making amendments,
04:02are these amendments for the freedom of justice,
04:05or to control justice?
04:07Tell me this.
04:09When you make amendments to the government,
04:11tell us what is the real purpose of these amendments.
04:15We should know what is the real purpose of these amendments.
04:19The parliamentarians should know about it.
04:21The media should know about it.
04:23The civil society should know about it.
04:25Barrister Ali Zafar was also asked about it.
04:29He said that this is the first time
04:31in the history of the parliament
04:33that a committee is sitting and talking about amendments,
04:37but there is no document in front of it.
04:39This statement by Hafiz Abdullah is not of today.
04:43He said it the other day while talking to a private television channel.
04:47Listen.
04:49When the parliamentary meeting took place,
04:51I think it was the first meeting in my life
04:53in which there was a debate about amendments.
04:57But the draft of the amendments was not in front of anyone.
05:00There was no document,
05:02not even a piece of paper
05:04to write down the points
05:06on which issues we wanted to discuss.
05:08When the 18th amendment was passed,
05:10it took a whole year.
05:12There were 550 hours of deliberations.
05:16Only in the committee.
05:18There were TORs,
05:20the chairman of the committee.
05:22He used to go to the committee
05:25and discuss with his leadership.
05:27Then he would meet again.
05:29This is a major thing,
05:31the constitution amendment.
05:33Hassan Ayyub,
05:35since you are in Islamabad
05:37and you are not here today,
05:39these amendments
05:41are not something
05:43that you do secretly in the dark.
05:45Have you understood anything yet?
05:47Did you meet someone?
05:49Did you talk to someone?
05:51What was the reason
05:53behind keeping this matter
05:55so secret?
05:57Thank you very much.
05:59It is surprising
06:01to keep it so secret.
06:03This is why many questions
06:05have been raised.
06:07This is why,
06:09Munawwara Fazl Rehman
06:11has made it clear
06:13that there are a few points
06:15but until the draft was not in front of him,
06:17he had agreed principally
06:20and the government
06:22was going to bring it.
06:24They had called for a meeting
06:26and Bilawal Bhutto
06:28had also taken the same commitment.
06:30But when the draft was not shared
06:32at the last minute,
06:34this is the reason for the problem.
06:36Mohsin Naqvi
06:38went to Munawwara Fazl Rehman
06:40and he also prepared
06:42Munawwara Fazl Rehman
06:44for a lot of things.
06:46A few amendments
06:49were not shared
06:51in the form of a document
06:53from which you are asking for votes.
06:55Then he said,
06:57we need time.
06:59And now you know
07:01that the Prime Minister
07:03has also participated in the UNGA session.
07:05So this matter is now long.
07:07The government has told us
07:09but have you understood the reason
07:11why they hid everything?
07:13Was there a theft in the heart
07:15or a bad intention?
07:18These are the basic questions
07:20raised by the Law Minister
07:22and the Attendant General of Pakistan.
07:24Both of them
07:26were doing all this together.
07:28And you see
07:30that the Jamiat-e-Urma-e-Islam
07:32Kamran Murtaza
07:34Do you know
07:36how much Kamran Murtaza
07:38and Azhar Naseer Tariq
07:40are related?
07:42They are from the same group
07:44and have spent 81 years of their lives together.
07:47The problem is that
07:49Azhar Naseer Tariq
07:51has just met me.
07:53I am surprised
07:55that
07:57if Azhar Naseer Tariq
07:59cannot convince
08:01Kamran Murtaza
08:03or if Kamran Murtaza
08:05cannot get a copy of the draft
08:07from Azhar Naseer Tariq
08:09then for two or three decades
08:11what was their relationship?
