00:00The election has only four days left. Trump and Kamala Harris election campaign is on the rise.
00:06In early voting, more than 6 crore American citizens have casted their vote.
00:10Trump and Kamala Harris' swing status is constantly being blamed on each other.
00:17Let's talk about this.
00:18Dr. Ejaz Ahmed, the chairman of APPAC is with us.
00:21Dr. Sahab, thank you very much for giving us time.
00:23Only four days are left in the US elections.
00:26Why hasn't APPAC endorsed Sadarti Umidwar yet?
00:30The board of APPAC has decided that because of the humanitarian crisis
00:36which is happening all over the world,
00:38and the things that Muslims are having to face,
00:41they will not endorse any candidate.
00:45In Trump's time, Muslims were banned.
00:49He had put a ban.
00:50And he still says that if he comes, he will deport Muslims and Muslim countries.
00:58But we supported Biden last time.
01:02And we made a Pakistani provider in 18 states.
01:05We did a lot of work.
01:06But we are very disappointed that the Biden administration did not do what we were expecting from them.
01:12If they wanted to push it more,
01:14the Israel-Palestine conflict,
01:17in which 40,000-50,000 people in Gaza,
01:20girls and women, have died.
01:22And in Lebanon, there is killing everywhere.
01:27And Israel is killing children.
01:30And the Biden administration did not do what we were expecting from them.
01:34So we have decided that we will not endorse anyone from either party.
01:40Dr. Jha, you have met Kamala Harris and you have also funded her.
01:46Still, you are not endorsing her.
01:49Look, we meet everyone.
01:52We say our thing and listen to them.
01:57Our relationship with the Democratic Party is more.
02:01We have a relationship with both parties.
02:03We have supported the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
02:08We have recently met with Kamala Harris.
02:11But that does not mean that we will endorse her.
02:14We shared our reservations and our problems.
02:19And she assured us that she will do work on it.
02:22But we have not seen any concrete steps.
02:25We have not seen any step or assurance
02:28because of which we have decided that we will not endorse her either.
02:33So tell me, Dr. Jha, which party are you looking towards?
02:39Look, the swing states will decide.
02:42If you look at the states, it is clear that they will go to the Democrats.
02:47The Republican states will also go to the Republicans.
02:51The swing states have a very critical point.
02:54The suburban votes and the women's votes will make a difference.
02:59Now, in Pennsylvania, there are 600,000 Spanish people.
03:05And because of Trump's campaign slogan,
03:09that the border is garbage,
03:11it is being said that he may lose Pennsylvania.
03:15And on the other hand, Biden said that Trump's supporters are garbage.
03:20So because of that, Kamala may also be harmed.
03:24So this will be an election with a very thin margin.
03:28It is impossible to say anything about this at the moment.
03:31Okay, Dr. Jha.
03:33So you were talking about Kamala Harris's meeting.
03:36Dr. Jha, what did you talk to her about?
03:39One is the humanitarian crisis that Muslims are facing in the world right now.
03:46In that, in Gaza, Lebanon, and Kashmir.
03:50And Muslims are going through difficulties right now.
03:56And the Biden administration did not do anything about it that we were expecting.
04:02And after that, the relationship between Pakistan and the United States.
04:06And in the future, just like the Biden administration did some good work.
04:11When Pakistan was flooded, they helped Pakistan.
04:17Then we appointed a federal judge, Zahid Qureshi.
04:21So Biden helped us.
04:23So we have a continued relationship.
04:25So we talked about that.
04:27And in the future, we want to see more steps towards the benefit of Muslims.
04:32We talked about this with her.
04:34So you talked about meeting Kamala Harris.
04:37So four days are left in the US elections.
04:39Do you think you can meet any other candidate?
04:43At this time, I think there is no hope of meeting anyone.
04:50And AP PAC has also issued a final statement.
04:54That we are not going to endorse anybody.
04:57And we are not going to meet anyone now.
05:02So if we talk about Michigan,
05:04the majority of Muslims there have announced their support for Trump.
05:08How do you see this?
05:10Look, all the Muslims in Michigan did not do it.
05:14There is a very small community among them who have announced it.
05:18There are basically more than 200,000 Muslim voters in Michigan.
05:23I think about 10,000 to 15,000 people have announced this.
05:30But the majority of Muslims have said that we are not supporting either of them.
05:34And they are very upset against Kamala.
05:38They were expecting more.
05:40They openly supported Biden, just like AP PAC did.
05:44So this decision was not made.
05:47Some people have definitely said that they support Trump.
05:50But the majority is not supporting anyone.
05:54Okay.
05:55Dr. Ijaz Ahmed, the chairman of AP PAC, was with us.
05:58Thank you for your time.
05:59AP PAC has announced that it will not support any presidential candidate.
06:03Four days are left in the US election.
06:05Trump and Kamala Harris' election campaign is on the rise.
06:08Dr. Ijaz Ahmed, the chairman of AP PAC, has met with Kamala Harris.
06:13And has also funded her.
06:15But she has just been told that AP PAC will not support any presidential candidate.
