00:00Sheikh Waqas Akram is with us. He is the Secretary-in-Chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
00:04First of all, we will talk to him. Thank you very much for joining us, Sheikh.
00:07First of all, let's talk about the discussions.
00:09First of all, can you tell us about the Bani Gala?
00:11As far as Imran Khan is concerned, Faisal Chaudhary is saying that the Bani Gala was offered.
00:16Now, did such an offer come through the leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf?
00:21Did someone offer it directly to Imran Khan?
00:24Was there any breaking news that Khan replied to? What was it?
00:30Look, while talking to the journalists, Faisal Chaudhary talked about it later,
00:35but before that, Imran Khan was talking to the journalists.
00:38Obviously, a journalist from your channel will also be present there.
00:41They usually are.
00:43He responded to a journalist's question that,
00:47I have received these offers, which I have rejected.
00:52In which he said that the three-year offer was related to Tuatak,
00:56which we never accepted.
00:58At that time, we refused it.
00:59And now, it has been decided that you should go to the Bani Gala.
01:03But Khan has refused it.
01:05No one got a chance to ask him the question that you are asking,
01:09that who brought this offer, when and how.
01:11Inshallah, if we meet again, we will definitely ask this and share it with you.
01:14So, when is the next meeting, Sheikh?
01:16Because after the next meeting, your written Charter of Demand will come.
01:19Yes, because we have clearly stated that,
01:23the last meeting was recorded in a small room,
01:27in which we were not able to give details.
01:31And at that time, many of our people were not present.
01:34So, we will meet you again.
01:36As it is, it is our right.
01:37We are not asking anything out of the box.
01:39You have stopped the meetings by going out of the way.
01:41So, you can access it.
01:44Okay, we will do it. Allah Khair, Salam.
01:46We have said that these things are two-pointed.
01:49There is no need to write about it.
01:51Because, as a party, we think that we have to talk about these two points.
01:55So, why do you keep saying to write about it?
01:57But anyway, this is not my opinion.
01:59This is the opinion of the Exhibition Committee and the people from the government.
02:04They have agreed among themselves.
02:06So, when we meet Khan Sahib,
02:08we will talk about it in detail.
02:10When we talk about it in detail,
02:12it will be appropriate.
02:14We will talk about it.
02:16There will be no addition or deletion.
02:18But, we will get guidance from Khan Sahib.
02:20Okay, okay.
02:21That is, Khan Sahib will be shown
02:23exactly what the written demands are,
02:25and approval will be taken from him.
02:26After that, the matter will be taken forward.
02:28Why not?
02:29Look, the people on his side,
02:31obviously, they will be talking to their leaders.
02:33They will be talking to their leaders on a minute-by-minute basis.
02:35We do not have that access or luxury.
02:37So, we have asked them to do that.
02:39They said, okay.
02:40Okay.
02:41Okay, tell me, Sheikh Sahib,
02:43if the written demands are met,
02:45and all the matters are resolved,
02:47a deadline has been given by the PTI for 31 January.
02:49This has been delayed so far.
02:51Now, do you think that the matter will be resolved
02:53by the date of 31 January?
02:57Look, I think, if there is no such thing,
02:59then we have not asked for such things
03:01that could not be done.
03:03But, let's say,
03:05there is a delay due to unforeseen issues.
03:07But,
03:09the people of our government,
03:11if they see seriousness
03:13in their talks,
03:15in their actions,
03:17then it can be put in front of Mr. Khan.
03:19It is their decision.
03:21There is no responsibility of the committee
03:23or the party to do that.
03:25If such a thing happens,
03:27then it can be put in front of Mr. Khan.
03:29Okay, you said that you see seriousness
03:31on the governmental side.
03:33You have heard different statements
03:35of different leaders.
03:37No, I did not say that I see seriousness.
03:39I said that I see it when I see it.
03:41You have not seen it yet, Mr. Sheikh?
03:43No, when there is seriousness in the talks,
03:45there is a preliminary meeting.
03:47In the second meeting,
03:49there was this and that.
03:51We asked them to give a written statement.
03:53If the talks go on,
03:55then we will know how serious it is.
03:57But, with these things,
03:59we do not know how serious it is.
04:01Do you want to prove to the government
04:03that they are serious?
04:05Substantial steps.
04:07Practically,
04:09we will be able to see things
04:11going in our direction.
04:13What else do we have to do?
04:15One of the substantial steps
04:17is not that Mr. Imran Khan should be released.
04:19No,
04:21these are very poor people.
04:23They are very poor people.
04:25They talk like this.
04:27Mr. Imran Khan has given his own statement.
04:29He has made it very clear.
04:31He has made it very clear.
04:33He has made it very clear.
04:35He has made it very clear.
04:37He has made it very clear.
04:39He has made it very clear.
04:41He has made it very clear.
04:43He has made it very clear.
04:45He has made it very clear.
04:47He has made it very clear.
04:49He has made it very clear.
04:51He has made it very clear.
04:53He has made it very clear.
04:55He has made it very clear.
04:57He has made it very clear.
