00:00 Mr. Chakkar, check it out last minute.
00:02 I don't see any suggestion. He has just stated a fact.
00:06 That this date is made.
00:08 90 days.
00:09 If you want to give, give.
00:10 These are the issues.
00:11 And I am throwing a ball in your court.
00:14 You decide further.
00:16 See, Constitution is a hierarchy of laws.
00:19 First there is Constitution, then there is law, which is made of simple legislation.
00:23 Then there is rule, then there is regulation.
00:25 When there is a conflict, when there is a conflict of laws, then the Constitution prevails.
00:29 Now if you make an amendment and increase the age to become a member of National Assembly,
00:33 make it 30, you can do it.
00:35 Because 25 is written in your Constitution.
00:37 So you cannot overshadow the Constitution with simple legislation.
00:40 But I have recently learned one thing.
00:42 Like start making noise.
00:44 Parliament, you make it approved, whatever you do, it will be approved.
00:47 See, these are political statements.
00:49 The law says, your Constitution says, the President has no right.
00:52 The President has an obligation.
00:54 It's his duty.
00:55 The word 'shall' has been used.
00:56 If 'may' had been used, there would have been discretion.
00:58 Now they have made it a discretion.
01:00 That I also have power.
01:02 But you decide for yourself.
01:04 That's why I think the President, I am using strong words,
01:07 his oath says, it's written in the schedule, he has to uphold the Constitution.
01:12 And he has not upheld the Constitution, he has violated the Constitution.
01:15 When you met Chairman Tariq-e-Jinsaf Imran Khan today, what message did he send for the President of Pakistan?
01:21 See, he asked a question, has the election date been announced?
01:24 So I said, no, he was surprised, why?
01:28 I said, Alvi Sahib has not announced it yet.
01:30 So I said, you want to say something about it?
01:32 He said, you should clearly go and say that Alvi Sahib should announce the date,
01:38 within the 90 days time frame, which is his Constitutional obligation.
01:41 And you met him today?
01:43 Yes, I don't want to.
01:44 He is not getting the newspapers?
01:45 I don't want to, he was not aware.
01:47 I don't know, what facilities are there in the media?
01:49 I don't know what facilities are there inside.
01:51 He heard five newspapers on a one-inch TV.
01:53 No, no, nothing like that.
01:55 So he said that…
01:56 See, it is a TV, whether it is on or not, that is the decision.
01:58 He said that…
01:59 There are five newspapers, they are old-fashioned, they are good, they are in the discretion.
02:01 I told him, maybe those newspapers are published there, not in the jail.
02:05 No, I told him that…
02:07 But you must know that the date of the election has not been announced.
02:09 No, I said, I will say these words exactly, you are saying that, he said, categorically you should go and say that
02:14 I demand that the President should announce the date of the election.
02:17 By the way, you said today that your Chairman has demanded that you announce the date of the election.
02:21 He has not announced any date despite your demand.
02:23 When I read the first news, I had not read the letter, so I said that my big words matter.
02:27 I was very happy to see that I tweeted, I said…
02:29 And the first news is also that the President has announced the date.
02:31 Yes, when I read the letter, I said that something is happening, that the President has made a root canal of the Ayin.
02:36 You will get to hear a lot of memes today, Waseem.
02:43 Today is the day when there will be a lot of memes about the President of Pakistan.
02:46 I am telling you a very good thing.
02:48 Some people are also saying that this is a letter without teeth.
02:50 Toothless.
02:52 Dentist has become toothless.
02:54 Someone has also tweeted this, I think.
02:56 And I think he also said, Iqrar, that dentists are homeopathic, I did not know this.
03:03 But what is your view, Waseem?
03:05 Was there a lot of pressure?
03:07 He could not have done it?
03:09 And today, I will add a sentence to this, that I have heard Babar Sattar that I will give a decision on which Amal Dharam will also be able to do it.
03:17 I think the President must have also thought that I should do something on which Amal Dharam will be able to do it.
03:21 What is the point of sitting and giving dates, then I have to say that I am the President, not the PM.
03:26 Yes, but the President said that my opinion is that the election should be held on 6th.
03:33 I know that the Election Commission has your opinion, which is not my opinion.
03:38 I also know that the Subah-e-Assamis also have the same opinion, which is your opinion, which is not my opinion.
03:42 And coincidentally, the Law Ministry also has the same opinion, which is the opinion of the Election Commission.
03:46 So my opinion is that we all should ask the Supreme Court, what is your opinion?
03:50 All this opinion is going on, all the letters.
03:53 But having said that, I still believe that I frankly do not blame President Pakistan.
03:58 I think that in the current situation, practically speaking, this could have been a better strategy, that wherever we have all the reasons.
04:04 And if you do not write a letter, then what will be the pressure from the government?
04:07 Sir, then Imran Khan and your party should have also answered that you are sitting in this office.
04:13 Listen to me, Haseeb, do we have to write this letter and answer more or do we have to answer more without writing the letter?
04:19 I think that at least he will have this thing to answer that I wrote it and I meant that Abu Zar Salman Niazi understood it like this.
04:27 And Kashif Abbasi interpreted it like this, Waseem Badami said it.
04:31 Although it meant this.
04:32 Okay, listen to me, you become President of Pakistan, Arif Alvi.
04:36 You don't want to become a dentist?
04:37 Try to prove to me somehow that Imran Khan has come to you and asked you why you did not give the date.
04:46 And President, why did you not give the date?
04:48 The chairman is asking.
04:49 What will you say, what date did I give in this?
04:51 How will you justify this letter?
04:53 Brother, in this I will first say that Qibla, you see that when I gave the date of the announcement of the provincial assembly elections,
05:02 then I used such harsh words that I hear by announce, etc.
05:07 So, sir, do not be surprised by the use of empty words, please.
05:11 Secondly, I will say that I have kept a realistic approach, I have tried a little that you are not angry, the rest are not angry,
05:17 then maybe there will be a way to talk, then maybe there will be a way to election.
05:20 If I had become Sultan Rai on this paper, then something else would have happened with that paper, there would have been no benefit.
05:27 Still, I have written something that maybe I will be relevant and the way forward will be talked.
05:32 Maybe election will be on 6th November, not 6th December.
05:35 What was said by Wasim, President had written in his letter,
05:38 I hereby announce the date of 9th April, 2023, Sunday for holding of general elections for provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khabar Pakhunga.
