00:00 The most important decision has been rejected today.
00:05 And again, it has been reminded that the constitution is not someone's property.
00:09 Elections have to be held in 90 days.
00:11 And if you cannot do it, then you have to come to the court with reasons.
00:14 Do you see this as a failure?
00:16 No, this is correct.
00:17 If you cannot do it, then you will have to give a response.
00:21 The constitution puts the responsibility of free, transparent and fair elections on the Election Commission.
00:31 If the Election Commission does not have the time to do it, then this response has to be provided.
00:38 So, after today, you feel that the response that the Election Commission has given to the people of Halka,
00:43 after this, they have to go to the court and present this and the court has to accept this response?
00:49 Otherwise, you cannot go beyond 90 days.
00:51 If they do not accept, then they do not have a choice.
00:54 The court does not have a choice.
00:55 Because if there are administrative issues, you need so much time,
00:59 and there is no doubt that your provincial Halka will not change much.
01:04 It will come nationally, but it will come a lot in the province.
01:07 But the tables have not changed, right?
01:09 Your two-thirds majority has not passed any legislation,
01:11 your National Assembly seats are also the same.
01:13 At the lower level, your district level is changing.
01:17 But that does not necessarily reflect in, in fact, it is not reflecting.
01:21 The seats of the National Assembly have not changed.
01:23 There is no need for legislation.
01:25 The seats of the National Assembly are changing?
01:27 Yes, they are not changing, but their Halka will change.
01:30 Yes, absolutely.
01:31 So, this is a very serious exercise.
01:34 You do it, then you notify, then there is a process, then the objections are removed.
01:44 The Election Commission has also issued an announcement today,
01:47 saying that they will try to eliminate the process of Halka bans as soon as possible,
01:51 and launch a schedule. Are you satisfied with this announcement?
01:54 Yes, I am satisfied, it does not matter to them.
01:56 The point is whether the Election Commission is satisfied or not,
01:58 they have to hold the elections.
02:00 I am not going to get this government to do it.
02:02 Absolutely, but today the court has reminded that,
02:04 Sir, this is your regular responsibility for 90 days,
02:07 you have been stressed again and again.
02:08 No, no, no, there is another responsibility,
02:10 which is given by the Election Commission,
02:13 for free, transparent and fair elections.
02:15 That is also a responsibility.
02:17 If you cannot ban Halka in a period,
02:20 and they had said earlier that it will be 4.5 months.
02:23 You are right, but today I am at the point where the court said,
02:26 that it is your responsibility to give date,
02:28 not to increase the date.
02:30 So, you are not allowed to ban Bhoran.
02:34 Are you watching Bhoran being banned?
02:35 I think, if Bhoran is not banned,
02:37 there are some requirements of reasonableness.
02:39 If a law firm is saying that I want 4.5 months to do Halka,
02:45 you have approved the census,
02:47 I want 4.5 months.
02:49 So, 4.5 months is more than 90 days.
02:53 Then you cannot force them to do it.
02:57 So, can the Election Commission be a culprit of the court?
02:59 No, this is not the case of the court.
03:01 The court also has to see,
03:04 whether it is possible or not.
03:06 It is not possible to do something impossible.
03:09 So, you are saying that the Election Commission is very well within its rights right now.
03:13 Yes, if they can give a reason that we need so many days,
03:16 we cannot do it in 90 days.
03:18 It is a reason for banning Halka.
03:20 Yes, it is.
03:21 So, they are well within their rights right now.
03:22 Yes, I think so.
03:23 And what is your position regarding giving date?
03:26 Date should be given.
03:28 No, no, the President has the right to say,
03:30 or the Election Commission has the right to say.
03:31 You know that there is a big debate on this.
03:33 Today, we met with the Prime Minister.
03:35 I will tell you what he said about it.
03:37 But what is your point?
03:38 The President cannot give date in isolation.
03:40 The problem is, does the President know how many days are required for Halka Mandi?
03:45 According to that, he will give date.
03:47 He will give date in 90 days.
03:49 He will give date in 90 days.
03:51 It is not possible in that.
03:53 That is why, this is a dilemma in all matters.
03:55 But, what is your position?
03:58 Does Article 48, Sheikh 5 apply?
04:00 Does it say that the President has the right to give date?
04:03 Or, after the amendments, after the amendment of the Election Act,
04:06 the Election Commission has the right to give date?
04:09 Even if it is not there.
04:11 Are you not clear on this?
04:12 No, I am clear.
04:13 So, tell me.
04:14 This has to be given by the Election Commission.
04:15 Election Commission has to give date.
04:17 So, all is going well as planned.
04:18 Yes, absolutely.
04:19 But, the interesting thing is that there are more than half cases
04:23 which have to be decided by the Chief Justice of Pakistan before retiring.
04:27 On 17th, your next Chief Justice will come.
04:29 No, no, I don't think so.
04:30 It is a very heavy responsibility in front of him.
04:32 He has assumed it himself.
04:34 These cases are going on.
04:37 In fact, it will not be right to decide his case at this time.
04:41 So, all these cases will be left to the Supreme Court.
04:43 Leave these cases to the next Chief Justice.
04:44 It is better to leave them to the next benches.
04:46 All these cases?
04:47 Yes, it will be born there.
04:48 Including those who listen to NAB Tarameen.
04:51 Yes, yes.
04:52 They are very clear on that that the decision has to be given soon.
04:54 They can do it. It is their wish.
04:56 But, it is better to leave all these cases to the next Chief Justice.
04:58 It is better because the benches that he has been making,
05:01 the decisions that have been made, there is so much doubt and doubt
05:03 that it will not be appropriate that you are making such big decisions in the last few days.
05:07 So, sir, we saw the speedy legislation that the Parliament has implemented.
05:12 On that also, the Chief Justice said that you have done it so quickly.
05:16 But, the priorities that you have not kept,
05:18 the Supreme Court Judgment and Review Act,
05:20 you have not worked on both of them.
05:22 By the way, this legislation was bulldozed.
05:24 Do you agree?
05:25 Legislation is always bulldozed.
05:27 It is always bulldozed.
05:28 No, no.
05:29 If legislation can be done, it is according to the law.
05:32 The decisions that are made in the light of day, what do you think about them?
05:36 So, the Supreme Court should be in its domain.
05:39 The Parliament is in its domain.
05:41 If it passes, whether it is in the light of day or night,
05:44 the ordinances are also passed.
05:46 Bypass the standing committees and do it without debate.
05:49 Bypass, bypass, absolutely.
05:51 I agree that you should do it.
05:53 You should do it through the process.
05:55 Why did you call this assembly the worst ever?
05:57 Everyone has their own rights.
05:59 I have said that what has happened in this assembly is not good.
06:03 What has been happening for the past five years, you can see the history.
06:07 Ok, tell me one thing.
06:08 You are the former Prime Minister.
06:09 Today, we met the current Prime Minister.
06:11 Is there any depression, despondency, restlessness in the country?
06:15 I cannot see the Prime Minister's house.
06:17 What?
06:18 I cannot see the Prime Minister's house.
06:19 Even you could not see it when you used to sit there.
06:21 No, because I was an elected person, I could not see it.
06:23 So, the elected person cannot see it?
06:25 No, the caretaker set up is non-political.
06:28 But is there?
06:29 What?
06:30 Is there despondency, depression, restlessness?
06:32 No, look, there is absolute restlessness.
06:34 Because you...
06:35 If you know, I also know that there is absolute restlessness.
