00:00Without the consensus of Maulana Fazl Rehman, it is impossible for us to pass this constitutional amendment.
00:08Okay. Ideally, but let's not be ridiculous.
00:11If the constitutional amendment is passed, only two-thirds of it should be passed.
00:13I am saying this correctly. If I say this, it is an open secret.
00:16The amendment was not passed that day because Maulana did not agree to some things.
00:21Is it true that Maulana gave you a commitment the night before?
00:26As far as the night before is concerned, without Maulana Fazl Rehman's consensus, it is impossible for us to pass this constitutional amendment.
00:39The meeting I had with Maulana Fazl Rehman the night before, Maulana Fazl Rehman's objection, or the objection of the Jama'at,
00:52or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,
01:02or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,
01:07or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,
01:12or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at, or the objections of the Jama'at,
01:17we believe that there should be clean and succinct judicial reforms, constitutional court, review of the 19th Arvin,
01:31and if there are any other issues, then they should be raised in their own context.
01:36There is no need to bring them together.
01:40You also know that if I want to make my own calls to the government, or if I want to give my opinion on the judicial process,
01:53then I will have to accept some of their points as well.
01:55Similarly, Maulana Fazl Rehman had to be engaged in the same way.
02:00Maulana Fazl Rehman's Jama'at came to the committee and brought the raw draft that the government had,
02:10and if Maulana Fazl Rehman's input, or if there was any additional input on my Jama'at,
02:17or if there was any input from the rest of the committee members,
02:22if there was a consensus of two-thirds by minimum, then it had to be passed,
02:28and it didn't happen at that time, but I don't think there is any need to be disappointed.
02:35We have been waiting since 2006 to bring this constitutional reform.
02:40If we wait a few more days, there is no better solution.
02:44But of course, there is a need to engage with Maulana Fazl Rehman.
02:49The Pakistan People's Party and Maulana Fazl Rehman's Jama'at,
02:53which has come out with the JUI,
02:55that the original draft of the Pakistan People's Party, which we have prepared with this reference,
03:03with reference to constitutional reform, with reference to constitutional court,
03:07for implementing the Charter of Democracy,
03:11we will put that in front of the JUI,
03:17and the JUI is also working on its own draft,
03:22so if we can make a consensus document between our two drafts,
03:27then perhaps it will be easier for us to cross that two-thirds majority.
03:33This may take a month or two?
03:36Yes, my attempt will be to make it as soon as possible.
03:41But because this is not a wish of today or tomorrow,
03:46my priority is that we achieve what we want to achieve.
03:50If we want to take Maulana Fazl Rehman with us,
03:58then perhaps it will not take a month or two.
04:01But this is Maulana Fazl Rehman's desire,
04:04and I think it is a legitimate desire from his perspective,
04:08that we not only bring the government together,
04:12but also have the input of the PTI.
04:14If we follow that process,
04:16then perhaps it will take a month or two.
04:19My point of view is that these reforms may not happen,
04:26but if we work with an open heart and with a good intention,
04:33then God willing, there will be a result of this effort.
