00:00But there is no such thing in the world that if you make a deal,

00:04your matters are settled, you meet them,

00:08if you apologize, you get an apology, you are allowed to go,

00:12cases against you are stopped,

00:14the rest of the people remain in jail for years,

00:16and you make a deal and go home on bail.

00:19And if you are more fortunate,

00:22which is usually the case that people are rich in fortune,

00:25you will join a king's party,

00:28and you will be able to fight elections.

00:30And not only that,

00:31you are also allowed to openly campaign.

00:34In the 9th of May incident,

00:3625 citizens were convicted by the military courts.

00:40On 13th December, the Supreme Court's Aini Bench

00:44allowed the military courts to announce the verdicts of the civilian cases.

00:49According to the ISPR,

00:51the verdict of the 9th of May

00:54was another step towards justice for the nation.

00:59The ISPR also said that

01:01the complete justice will take place

01:05when the masterminds of the 9th of May

01:08and the plotters will be punished according to the law.

01:12You can translate and explain where this is pointing.

01:17One thing is certain,

01:19the permission for what happened on 9th of May cannot be given in any country.

01:23This permission cannot be given to anyone

01:25in the name of protest.

01:27No matter where you go,

01:28break things,

01:29set fire,

01:30burn houses.

01:31Some people think that

01:33if you think they are lost,

01:35then you should forgive them.

01:36But if you look at America,

01:38other nations do not allow such incidents without punishment.

01:42And the reason for this is so that examples are established

01:46and in the future,

01:47anyone who does such a thing should be scared and stay away from it.

01:50But there is no such thing in the world

01:52that if you make a deal,

01:54your matters are settled,

01:56you meet them,

01:58if you ask for forgiveness, you will be forgiven,

02:01you will be allowed to go,

02:02cases against you will be stopped,

02:04the rest of the people will be in jail for years

02:06and you make a deal and go home on bail.

02:09And if you are more fortunate,

02:12usually such people are rich in fortune,

02:15you will join a king's party

02:18and you will be able to fight elections.

02:20And not only that,

02:21you will also be allowed to openly campaign.

02:24This is the Pakistan colony.

02:27This has also happened here.

02:29One more thing that should not happen,

02:34but it has happened in our country,

02:36we see it in movies,

02:38that like fraud,

02:39a person is present in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sargodha and Mianwali at the same time.

02:45And such FIRs are against many people.

02:48Cases should be made,

02:49punishments should be made,

02:51but it should not be the case

02:53that people are being punished because of their political affiliations.

02:57There are cases on many politicians

03:02that either Shah Mehmood Qureshi was present in Karachi,

03:06but there are cases in different parts of Punjab

03:08that he will be found breaking things or entering somewhere.

03:13Many people have such cases in different cities.

03:17This should not happen.

03:19On 21 December, the European Union

03:21issued a warning on the punishment

03:24that was issued by the military court.

03:27According to the statement of the European External Action Service,

03:33these decisions are considered contrary to the responsibilities

03:40that Pakistan has accepted under the international laws of civil and political rights.

03:48According to Article 14 of the ICCPR,

03:52every person has the right to a fair and public case,

03:57which is free, non-partisan and qualified,

04:00and he has the right to appropriate and effective legal representation.

04:04In the statement issued by the European Union,

04:06it is alarming to say that Pakistan has signed the GSP plus agreement

04:12to continue the GSP plus agreement.

04:18GSP plus is extremely important for our exports.

04:25It is one of the most important and critical elements

04:29that are associated with our exports.

04:31I hope that we will keep in mind

04:36that the way the GSP plus press release was issued,

04:41we will all keep an eye on this.

04:45As I said in the beginning,

04:47the era of negotiations between the government and the judicial committees has begun today.

04:53This is a good thing.

04:54I have always been an advocate that

04:57negotiations should be between political parties.

05:01If someone can bring this country on the law,

05:05then these political parties can only bring it together.

05:08Otherwise, this country will not go there.

05:10But Tehreek-e-Insaab's insistence was that

05:12if you want to talk, you have to do it only with the establishment.

05:14After repeated refusals from there,

05:16now it seems that the negotiations have started in political parties.

05:19It seems so.

05:21I was also surprised.

05:23It seems that there are few options,

05:25but Tehreek-e-Insaab is desperate for negotiations.

05:29Because no one has anything to give in negotiations.

05:33What can Tehreek-e-Insaab give to the government?

05:35And for the government, there is only one thing in mind at the moment.

05:39Time.

05:40The system should work.

05:41And it has been decided that it will work as it is.

05:45Has this thought come to the PTI that now we will have to deal?

05:49We have to get Imran Khan out.

05:51We have to wait for some time.

05:53It seems difficult because Imran Khan's statements contradict it.

05:58Because such a deal could have been made a year ago.

06:01After all, what will come out of these negotiations?

06:03What can anyone give?

06:05Even today, the date of January 2 has been decided.

06:08That is, no one should be in a hurry for the result.

06:11What is the future of these negotiations?

06:14Sir, we have more time.
