00:00 So, Hamid Mir sir, first of all, what is your assessment to the President of Pakistan

00:04 that why is it necessary to tweet this from his personal account?

00:07 Because I have seen that when there are unsigned bills, he keeps tweeting from his official account.

00:13 Look, to get an answer to this, first of all, you tell your viewers

00:17 what is the date of this Gazette notification?

00:20 It is 18th August, 2023.

00:23 We can show this on the full screen.

00:24 So, today's date is 20th August.

00:27 If this Gazette notification was issued on 18th August,

00:31 then the President must have got to know about it yesterday.

00:35 My information is that he was asking the day before yesterday

00:40 that the bills that I had sent back, they left.

00:44 So, the day before yesterday, he was being told that they left.

00:47 But when he got to know about the Gazette notification yesterday,

00:50 he was a little worried.

00:52 And then when he talked to some of his staff again,

00:56 he got to know that they had done some mischief with me

01:01 and they sent it back late.

01:06 Okay?

01:07 It was not sent back within the specified time frame,

01:09 but it was sent back late, both the bills.

01:11 And then today, when Shahabud Kuraishi was arrested yesterday,

01:15 and today, Asad Umar was also arrested,

01:17 and the media also said that he was arrested under the Official Secret Act.

01:25 So, he realized this and he confronted some of his staff again on Sunday.

01:32 And after that, he did this with his personal account.

01:36 I think, I personally talked to some legal experts,

01:40 I don't see any confusion in this.

01:43 This is a straightforward matter that President Arif Alvi had received these two bills.

01:48 There were many other bills as well.

01:49 He thought that these bills,

01:51 there are some things that are still questionable,

01:53 that should be removed, but because he thought that the assembly period was ending,

01:58 and because he was a politician before,

02:01 he did politics on his own,

02:03 that send it back, the assembly period will end,

02:06 the bill will be lapsed and nothing will happen.

02:08 But maybe his staff did not follow his instructions,

02:14 which is an illegal act.

02:16 And when the President felt that now he has been used,

02:22 and he did not follow his instructions,

02:23 he told the world through a tweet.

02:26 I think this is a gazette notification,

02:30 but if you keep the law of Pakistan in front of you,

02:35 and if you do a very honest investigation,

02:38 then these two laws are questionable,

02:40 and any final decision about them will be taken by the court.

02:43 The matter is that the politicians repeatedly send their issues to the court.

02:48 We have seen for the last one and a half years,

02:50 what is the political issue that the politicians have solved themselves.

02:53 I do not remember, whether it is the Punjab Assembly,

02:55 or the Fakir Assembly, or the assembly,

02:58 whatever these matters are.

02:59 Another technical debate is that,

03:02 the bills before this,

03:03 the President wrote down his exact reasons and objections,

03:07 and sent back the bills.

03:08 On this, verbally, he gave empty instructions.

03:11 Now these bills are of such a serious nature,

03:13 maybe he did not find it appropriate to write them.

03:15 This is also the reason.

03:17 He verbally said, "Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it."

03:20 "And this should not be recorded."

03:21 So, is there any importance of verbally saying,

03:24 is there any legal standing,

03:25 that you send it back,

03:26 and if it is sent or not sent,

03:28 will the court accept it as a witness?

03:30 We can talk about all these things.

03:33 And on this, the interpretation of Article 75,

03:37 on that, very serious and very legal questions can arise.

03:43 That, if the President of the country,

03:45 signs it without sending it,

03:47 then the assent,

03:50 the procedural acceptance of those bills,

03:55 can we construe that it has been done?

03:59 But, at the same time, Article 75 is quiet,

04:02 on whether this acceptance has been done or not.

04:06 I see in all these matters,

04:09 that the way we are running the state of Pakistan,

04:15 the situation that has been going on for the past year and a half,

04:18 the constitutional crisis, political crisis,

04:22 economic crisis that has been created,

04:25 in all this, we have lost a lot.

04:28 And now, the country,

04:31 I am sad to use this word,

04:33 but we are moving towards implosion.

04:37 There is no such institution of the state,

04:39 whose sanctity is still intact.

04:41 If you look at the judiciary, the constitution,

04:43 the parliament, the political parties,

04:46 everywhere you will see such a state of panic,

04:50 that no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

04:54 And all of us stakeholders, in all this situation,

04:58 we are not able to come together,

05:02 we are not able to end this crisis,

05:04 this crisis is getting deeper every day.

05:06 And the victims are the people of this country.

05:10 This political uncertainty,

05:12 you can see where your economy is standing today.

05:15 A foolish person can expect,

05:19 that in this political uncertainty,

05:20 that in a country where there is no sanctity of the constitution,

05:24 in a country where there is no sanctity of the constitution,

05:27 that the government system,

05:28 which has to be elected after 90 days,

05:31 will there be elections or not?

05:34 Or judges are fighting among themselves,

05:38 or there is a visible grouping,

05:40 will someone invest in that country?

05:42 You will see what reaction your stock market will give tomorrow.

05:46 So the role we have to end this political uncertainty,

05:49 we are completely immersed in this power politics,

05:55 that those parties,

05:56 now these bills,

05:57 like Mir sahab said,

05:59 the democratic credentials of our political parties,

06:04 there is a big question on them.

06:06 But they don't care about the consequences of the bills we have passed.
