00:00 Chief Justice, you seem to be in a lot of pain.

00:03 Please be a little scared.

00:05 You told the YouTubers, "This is not journalism."

00:07 You told them about journalism, how it is done, how it is recorded.

00:12 They said, "You just sit in the sky for hits."

00:15 You sell your conscience, sir.

00:17 Look, there is truth in these things to some extent.

00:21 But should Chief Justice give such remarks?

00:25 It is a matter of the harassment of journalists.

00:27 And you are giving a line.

00:30 This is the line that you are trying to put on the media.

00:34 And you are giving them justification that they are wrong,

00:37 they do selective reporting, they do everything for the dollar.

00:41 There is a PR office in the Supreme Court.

00:43 A 19th grade officer sits there.

00:45 There are people in his office.

00:47 What is his job?

00:48 When there is some wrong news, he calls that reporter and tells him that this news is not right.

00:52 And he continues to make allegations.

00:55 He makes people prepare and publish.

00:58 This is not the way that Chief Justice Qazi Faiza is doing.

01:01 That he takes the media person's hand.

01:06 And when he does these things, we saw before that too.

01:09 When he criticized the media, people in JIT started getting arrests,

01:14 notices started coming.

01:16 Now the remarks that he has given,

01:18 and you will see that there will be a regulation in this regard,

01:22 and some other institutions will become active.

01:24 So I think Chief Justice Qazi Faiza should have an idea

01:27 that how chilling his remarks are for journalism.

01:32 If we say that there are problems everywhere,

01:37 but if Chief Justice points out the media at this micro level,

01:41 then how will we get the recognition?

01:45 When Chief Justice will talk about this, who will talk below?

01:48 This is the most important matter of Mateeullah Jaan case.

01:50 He said that this is an open and shut case.

01:52 The video is available and he has warned the government.

01:55 What decision will he give that will not be liked?

01:57 I think that is a matter of the past.

01:59 But the remarks that he has given, that he is earning dollars,

02:02 these were very inappropriate remarks.

02:05 I think that media freedom is under threat.

02:09 Already the allegations that they should be stopped,

02:13 curtailed, and more restrictions should be imposed on them,

02:17 when such remarks will come, they will get empowerment and this will happen.

02:21 If we say that it is selective, then what?

02:23 There are many things in the Supreme Court,

02:25 there are many cases that are not found.

02:27 There are many complaints of one community, mistrust,

02:30 one complaint, one community gets a lot of relief.

02:33 So we will also say that the judges' judgement is also selective.

02:36 And in many cases, there is silence.

02:39 There is judicial restrain, there is judicial activism.

02:42 So I think that everywhere, there is a need for improvement.

02:45 I want to say that the environment is unfortunately

02:48 facing a confrontation, judiciary vs executive, establishment.

02:52 In this whole environment, the six judges of Islamabad High Court,

02:57 the whole High Court has stood up.

03:00 I have been trying to understand since last week,

03:03 you are a senior reporter, you understand all the news inside and outside.

03:06 There are also off the record news inside which are known.

03:09 Why was Suo Moto being raised?

03:12 Why was it being avoided? I am not able to understand this.

03:14 See, this was the case, weakness was shown in this case

03:18 and the message was not good.

03:20 In fact, there was disappointment all over the country.

03:22 Why?

03:23 The 126 judges of Pakistan were disappointed.

03:26 One thing is very clear that in six months,

03:29 you tell me one case in which the executive and the present Supreme Court

03:34 in any case, there was a confrontation or they had difficulties

03:39 and there was disappointment.

03:41 The executive is very happy.

03:44 The present Supreme Court Bar, Pakistan Bar Council,

03:47 Supreme Court and the executive are on the same page.

03:50 We have been seeing this page for six months.

03:52 So, it was that if such a thing would have come,

03:55 but it is a good thing that the hearing will be held tomorrow.

03:58 What are you expecting tomorrow?

04:01 I think that the judges will strongly show their reservations and concerns.

04:08 The message will be very clear and an institutional response will come.

04:15 At least, not all judges, but some judges will show a serious reaction.

04:22 Tomorrow?

04:23 Tomorrow.

04:24 Will there be an order?

04:25 Or will there be an inquiry?

04:26 See, this is the thing that has come today.

04:29 These remarks should also come.

04:31 At least, in the future, how the judges will...

04:35 The Supreme Judicial Council has to make a code of conduct.

04:38 There should be a mechanism for clarification.

04:41 What are you seeing here?

04:43 The real issue is to protect the judges in the current situation.

04:48 When there is pressure on them in high profile cases,

04:51 to take some action for that, to give a message.

04:54 I don't know what the strategy will be tomorrow,

04:56 how this matter will be seen,

04:58 but it seems that the U-turn has not been taken in this way.

05:02 It will be tried till the logical end to take it.

05:06 And the space that we have given for 6 months,

05:09 or taken from us, that space will be taken back.

05:12 Will there be an inquiry?

05:14 There will be an order for inquiry, there can be a declaration.

05:17 Now, we will see, I don't know what will happen.

05:20 But at least, that side which confuses, will be brought on the defensive.

05:25 Okay, so tomorrow you will see interesting situations.

05:28 Secondly, the suspicious letter that has come to the High Court of Islamabad,

05:32 Chief Justice Amir Farooq has also taken notice of it.

05:35 It seems that things are going in the wrong direction.

05:38 Anthrax, biological, it is your weapon, it will be checked.

05:42 What is going on here?

05:44 There are some taunts and excuses for this too.

05:46 These things have been coincident, but all these things will happen.

05:50 Earlier, a judge said that a cracker was thrown in his house,

05:54 and he was transferred.

05:56 These are such things.

05:57 In the past, Waqar Seth Sahib also said such things.

06:00 So, I think that tomorrow there will be concerns on this too,

06:04 that security of the judges should be ensured.

06:06 And the way we are seeing, I think,

06:09 this is becoming a narrative for 3-4 days,

06:12 these 6 judges feel that they are on trial, they are accused,

06:15 and those people will be disappointed tomorrow.

06:18 Thank you very much, Hassanat.

06:19 Tomorrow is the most important day, Suomoto notice has been taken.

06:23 The 7th bench is going to sit,

06:26 regarding the letter of 6 judges of Islamabad High Court,

06:28 it is the most important hearing.

06:30 All eyes will be on the Supreme Court,

06:32 whether the institution and judges will be kept safe,

06:35 whether there will be clear-cut orders.

06:37 Will the rest of the process be organized?

06:40 Will clarity be given?

06:41 Will such a mechanism, code of conduct be organized,

06:44 that the judges, sitting here, have clarity,

06:46 that what they have to do, how they have to do,

06:49 if they are brought under pressure or approached,

06:51 to do something about it. Not that you have to do it yourself. I'll be back after a short break.
