Transcript
00:00 Okay, so you have a different opinion, but didn't your leadership deserve that when she is coming after so long,
00:05 after so much of hard work, you are at least welcoming her?
00:08 There is a symbolic significance, the presence of a person like you, you are there, you will welcome her?
00:12 I am not one of the welcoming people. I am a hard working colleague.
00:16 This is the proof.
00:18 And I met Mr. Mian ten days ago and I was not convinced of welcoming her.
00:24 I told her that those people who are standing on the stage today, tell them what they have done to end the injustice they have done to Mr. Mian.
00:35 It has been injustice, it is definitely injustice.
00:40 The decision of 28th July 2017 is not justified.
00:45 The Supreme Court should apologize to this country that we did this.
00:49 This will clear their name.
00:51 So you are saying that what did these people do?
00:54 They could have talked.
00:57 The government of the country will talk about this injustice, it should be corrected.
01:03 I keep saying all day that there is no such weight.
01:07 I have no complaint.
01:09 You are saying that the 16th government should have talked about this.
01:12 The government of the day should have talked about this.
01:14 Yes, absolutely. The government of Mr. Mian was supposed to talk about this.
01:22 They should have found a way out.
01:24 They should have cleared the injustice.
01:26 It was their responsibility as a government to end the injustice.
01:31 Okay, so the Faizabad commission has been formed on the orders of Mr. Faizabad.
01:36 The people of Faizabad are going to go.
01:38 Have you been called tomorrow?
01:40 Yes, I will go tomorrow.
01:41 I got a call, I said I will be there.
01:44 I had said before that I will be there when they call me.
01:46 Who called you?
01:47 There was a person from the commission.
01:49 The letter has not come, the letter will come.
01:51 But I will be there without the letter.
01:54 And what do you know about this?
01:56 I am fond of commissions, inquiries, investigations.
01:59 I have read it here.
02:01 I have done 38 inquiries and investigations in the government of Mr. Imran Khan.
02:05 We have seen that one day you are landing in Karachi, you are suffering there,
02:08 you are suffering there, you are suffering there.
02:11 The cases that have been done in the lab, the inquiries, investigations,
02:14 there are 38.
02:16 So you were the central figure in all that,
02:19 or was the Prime Minister of Pakistan at that time?
02:22 I accept the responsibility of whatever the government did.
02:26 And whatever it did, was it worthy of pride or worthy of regret?
02:29 It was worthy of pride.
02:31 We took our stand, after that a decision was made.
02:35 It was wrong, it was right, everyone was involved in it.
02:38 I am ashamed that Mr. Zaid Hamid and the famous boy,
02:43 on the first day he said that this is my respect, you give it.
02:46 I said no, we will not give.
02:48 Later a decision was made, he gave his resignation.
02:51 Where was the decision made?
02:53 Everyone, together a decision was made.
02:55 Everyone was involved.
02:56 Was your consent involved in that decision?
02:58 No, my minister was involved in it, Mr. Ahsan Iqbal was involved,
03:01 so it was my consent.
03:03 I was not there at that time, but whatever decision was made, was my decision.
03:07 Was the Sahrur-Sura-Talb-ul-Maliki the best decision or could it have been better?
03:12 No, this was Mr. Ahsan Iqbal's decision.
03:14 The rest of the people who were negotiating,
03:17 sitting with them, saying that this is the solution.
03:19 He had many other moves which I don't want to go into,
03:21 but at that time, the decision he made,
03:24 I accept it as responsibility and I consider it right.
03:27 And you knew the specific details also,
03:29 that a contract is going to be signed,
03:31 but will it be officially signed by the DGC General Faiz Ameer?
03:35 No, I didn't know about it.
03:37 In fact, in the evening meeting, I had asked the commissioner to sign the IGE.
03:42 But at night, it was decided that Mr. Ahsan Iqbal will do it,
03:46 and Mr. Faiz Ameer will do it.
03:49 So, they did it.
03:50 These are the people who are involved,
03:52 you delegate them to an authority,
03:54 and then you stand behind them.
03:56 They made the right decision.
03:57 So, you own that decision of Mr. Faiz Ameer.
03:59 Yes, Mr. Faiz Ameer's decision was his.
04:01 To sign it.
04:02 Yes, it was his decision,
04:04 Mr. Ahsan Iqbal also did it,
04:06 and Mr. Secretary also did it.
04:08 So, I own those decisions.
04:10 All of them were from the government,
04:12 and the DGC also works for the government.
04:14 And, in these things, what do you think,
04:18 was there someone behind that protest,
04:20 or was it an organic protest,
04:22 or was it an engineer?
04:23 This is the commission's job,
04:24 this is why the commission was made.
04:26 You will tell us tomorrow.
04:27 What can I say? I don't speculate.
04:29 I don't have any knowledge.
04:30 If the Prime Minister of Pakistan doesn't tell us,
04:32 then will the Prime Minister of Pakistan tell us?
04:33 The Prime Minister of Pakistan was in jail.
04:35 He wasn't there at that time.
04:36 He is still in jail.
04:38 The Prime Minister was not in jail at that time.
04:42 You were at the helm of the affairs.
04:44 I knew he was going, I knew about him.
04:46 You could see it coming.
04:47 Yes, yes, of course, it always happens.
04:49 That protest was to ruin the Noon League.
04:52 What was to ruin the Noon League?
04:54 The country was being defamed.
04:56 That it is a government,
04:59 and a few people have made it a war zone.
05:03 And the government seemed helpless.
05:05 Mr. Miftah Ismail was out of the country at that time,
05:10 he had gone to negotiate loans.
05:14 People there used to ask,
05:16 "Your country is in such a state,
05:18 that the roads that go to the airport,
05:20 the government is shut down.
05:22 This is defamation.
05:24 This is defamation.
05:26 I will tell you the facts in front of the commission.
05:30 You are going to tell them everything tomorrow.
05:32 No, no, they will frame the questions.
05:34 The commission frames the questions.
05:36 They don't have permission like Mr. Muzammil.
05:39 They can ask whatever they want.
05:41 Towards the end,
05:44 Mr. Shahid Khan Khan,
05:46 we don't do injustice
05:47 that we talk about everything for our political advantages,
05:51 and we don't even consider the economy as a priority.
05:53 And we make big claims.
05:54 Mr. Khan used to say,
05:55 "Oh, you are a Pakistani,
05:56 the petrol is expensive,
05:57 you can think that the Prime Minister is a thief."
05:58 That's it.
05:59 Although he came and made the deal expensive.
06:00 Shahbaz Shahid used to say,
06:01 "I will come and make the petrol so cheap."
06:03 Although he made the deal expensive.
06:04 Now Khadija Asim says that in two years,
06:07 the economy will not only be back on track,
06:10 but will run away.
06:11 Is it a practical thing?
06:12 Will it be like this?
06:13 This is an optimistic thought.
06:15 It is realistic.
06:17 As far as petrol is concerned,
06:18 you should not make claims about petrol.
06:20 Because you are not able to do it.
06:21 You are not able to do it.
06:22 So don't make claims.
06:23 If you make claims, you should answer.
06:24 No, you should not do that.
06:25 But if a person says that we will come,
06:26 we will work hard,
06:27 the economy will run,
06:28 this is an optimistic thought.
06:29 It is a good thing.
06:30 And it is realistic too.
06:31 There is a clash between realism and optimism.
06:34 And there is a clash here too.
06:35 It always happens.
06:36 Our job is to be optimistic.
06:38 Even if the politicians of this country become pessimistic,
06:41 they keep on getting reality checks.
06:45 But you have to be optimistic.
06:47 Optimism is your basic requirement.
06:48 If we say, do this, do that.
06:50 If you say, optimism,
06:52 and your political opponent says,
06:53 then it is a lie.
06:54 Your political opponent says,
06:55 I will end the inflation in Pakistan.
06:57 You say, it is not optimism.
06:58 You say, he is lying.
06:59 He will not do it.
07:00 If you end inflation in such a way
07:02 that you start giving subsidies on petrol,
07:04 inflation does not end.
07:06 If you have this formula,
07:07 then it is a failure.
07:09 Last question.
07:10 Yesterday, Mr. Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said,
07:12 for example,
07:13 Mr. Shahid, I want you to take part in this election campaign.
07:16 No, I am not a part of the election.
07:18 He has an old relationship,
07:20 a friendship.
07:22 Whenever he orders, I am present.
07:24 But I cannot take part in the election.
07:26 My basic political environment,
07:29 the situation,
07:30 the politics that is happening,
07:32 I am not in favour of it.
07:34 Is this the same thing as Mr. Chaudhary Nisar?
07:37 I am not saying it in that sense.
07:38 You have made a lot of sacrifices.
07:39 No, no.
07:40 He says, I cannot stand behind the children.
07:42 No, look, I don't know Mr. Chaudhary Nisar.
07:45 But I have no animosity with anyone.
07:47 There is no animosity.
07:48 There is no disagreement.
07:49 You don't understand this politics.
07:50 But I don't understand this politics today,
07:52 what will be the result of this.
07:54 Politics should be with a purpose.
07:56 I have fought 9 elections.
07:58 I thought those elections were with a purpose.
08:01 That something will be achieved from here,
08:02 you have a way.
08:03 Here it is visible that you are going in such a direction
08:07 that the country will be ruined.
08:09 The election will be the cause of further conspiracy.
08:11 If you have done it before.
08:12 There will be no consensus.
08:13 And if you don't have an election,
08:14 there will be more conspiracy.
08:15 And there should be consensus,
08:17 but it doesn't seem to be.
08:18 Why not?
08:19 You should try.
08:20 Who should initiate?
08:21 Whoever does it.
08:22 I think it would be better if Mr. Mian Wasim does it.
08:25 He is the oldest politician.
08:26 He said he wants to sit with all the politicians.
08:28 Yes, Basham Uli Manan Khan.
08:29 Basham Uli Manan Khan.
