00:00 So Mr. Khattak, you have made your party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarian.

00:03 Will you have elections in this party?

00:05 Will you be ready to break the rules?

00:07 Because you are saying that in 2012, Bani Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was ready to break the rules.

00:11 Yes, our party has just been registered.

00:16 And we are giving the name of our core committee to them.

00:20 The way of doing this is that you give the name first,

00:25 and after a year or some time, you have to have the elections.

00:28 So the core committee that we will make,

00:31 and the eligible people who will vote in it,

00:33 Inshallah, it will be in front of everyone.

00:35 There will be elections in front of everyone, even if I will be standing.

00:38 If votes go against me, what difference does it make to me?

00:40 This is a very difficult task.

00:42 If my people don't like me, then why do I need to lead?

00:46 But Mr. Khattak, all democratic parties in Pakistan say that they are supporters of democracy.

00:51 We have seen the election of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

00:54 All the leaders say that they are "MLN" and "Unopposed".

00:57 Pakistan People's Party also wins "Unopposed".

01:00 Are you making a promise today that you will not win "Unopposed" in your party?

01:05 Absolutely, I promise.

01:09 There is only one party in Pakistan that has elections democratically, and that is Jamaat-e-Islami.

01:14 It is the only party that has elections in the whole country, and it is a transparent election.

01:19 And the leaders are usually from the bottom to the top.

01:23 There is no family domination.

01:27 So, God willing, we will have elections in this party.

01:30 If people like me, I will stay. If they don't like me, I will leave.

01:33 This is my promise.

01:34 I have never done any fraudulent work in my life, and I will never do it.

01:37 Mr. Khattak, those elections are far away, but the national elections are coming up.

01:41 They will be held in the beginning of February 8, 2024.

01:45 You have made a statement about those elections.

01:48 Let's hear that.

01:50 When the lockdown is over, there should not be an election in four months.

01:55 Because a new area is being created, and we should get time to campaign and work hard.

02:00 We have made a red line on this.

02:02 The rest is up to the court.

02:04 If the court does not agree, then there will be an election in February 8.

02:07 I need time because a new party is being formed.

02:09 Mr. Khattak, you have a new party.

02:13 What is the fault of the Election Commission of Pakistan that it delays the elections because of your new party?

02:20 I am not saying that it is their fault.

02:26 It is my own opinion that I have got time.

02:30 If someone does it, then do it. Otherwise, we are ready for the election.

02:32 But the main thing I have said is that when new restrictions are created, new areas are created for people.

02:39 It is their right to get time and convince people.

02:44 Because if a person's whole area is changed, then what will he do in the campaign?

02:50 People cannot get it in two months.

02:53 This is an illegal decision.

02:56 I am against it.

02:58 If you want a clean election in this country, then everyone should get equal opportunities.

03:03 You should not make a circle of your own choice and let others know that you have your own village.

03:09 I have my own circle. I have 11 union councils.

03:12 Leave three of them to me.

03:14 And break my eight union councils and take them in one circle and another circle.

03:19 Put new union councils on my side.

03:22 It will take me two to three months to reach them.

03:25 But I am not afraid of these things.

03:29 I have served in Naushara. I have no issue.

03:32 People have issues.

03:33 This is the decision of the High Court.

03:35 I am not saying this.

03:36 This is the decision of the High Court that elections should not be held for four months so that they can campaign again.

03:41 You have raised another objection, which is the objection of winter.

03:45 We saw that when Benazir Bhutto was martyred, elections were held.

03:48 They were held in winter and in February.

03:50 Mr. Khattak, can they be managed?

03:52 I myself fought that election.

03:56 It was very cold. It was bad.

03:58 It was very cold in our area.

04:00 Voting will be less there.

04:02 The proportion of voting will be less.

04:04 Because in our mountainous areas, when it is hot, they go to the mountains.

04:10 Sheep, goats, whatever business.

04:12 When it is cold, they go to the cities.

04:16 They all come to Punjab, KP, Peshawar.

04:19 So, taking them back, the proportion of voting will be very less in those areas, which is not fair.

04:25 Right.

04:26 Mr. Khattak, elections are now taking place.

04:28 And the Chief Election Commissioner has said very clearly that there will be no hesitation in these elections.

04:33 No question of any kind should be raised.

04:35 Elections will take place on February 8.

04:38 Now, the next stage is that do you have any seat adjustment with the other parties for the election?

04:43 Do you have any intention of coalition?

04:45 Are you talking to anyone?

04:46 Considering that in KP, at this time, both PMLN and People's Party are active.

04:51 You said one thing, how can you say with guarantee that this will happen in Pakistan?

04:58 No one in Pakistan knows what will happen tomorrow.

05:01 Here, today we talk, tomorrow it will be tomorrow.

05:03 No one can give this guarantee that I want an election.

05:07 And my talks are going on with the parties.

05:09 I will not unite, but in different districts, I will do seat to seat adjustment.

05:14 My talks are going on with two or three parties.

05:16 And where they have good candidates, we will support them.

05:19 Where we have good candidates, I will ask for their support.

05:22 I need my new party.

05:24 If I get three or four more months, then maybe I will not need anyone's trust.

05:29 But till now, which party is Mr. Parvez Khattak's and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's, parliamentarians' tilt?

05:36 Anyway, I am not going to tell anyone that from which party I am.

05:41 Different. I am talking to the weak or strong parties.

05:48 Where they have strong seats, they will not do seat adjustment with us.

05:52 Where the other parties are weak, we will do it.
