ARY NEWS

Transcript

00:00Sir, let me clarify one more thing. Yesterday, Mr. Khan's statement was quoted.

00:05Mr. Kashif Abbasi said that our reporters are also confirming that Mr. Khan has said that I had told him to protest against GHQ.

00:11Yes, I had said it wholeheartedly. You said that we are denying it.

00:14So, your statement was on this.

00:16But today, Mr. Salman Akram Rajat said that Mr. Khan did not say this at all.

00:22But it was certain that after the attempt to arrest him in the judicial complex,

00:28the party had decided that if something like this happens,

00:32then we will stay where we should be, even if it is GHQ.

00:36So, at the party level, it was certain that if something like this happens to Mr. Khan

00:41and we feel that the Rangers are involved in it, then we will protest outside GHQ.

00:44Do you deny this or do you believe this?

00:47No, no. You know that I am a member of all the forums of the party.

00:53As far as I know, no such decision has been made.

00:58It was not even made at the party level. Mr. Khan did not say that it was not even made at the party level.

01:02It was not made at our CC, nor at our political committee.

01:07There was no discussion at any level.

01:10Yes, we had made a study that we will protest outside the legal front and the legal field.

01:18But no such decision was made.

01:21So, you are saying that nothing like this happened when Mr. Khan,

01:24I don't remember the exact date, it was on the 12th,

01:27when Mr. Khan was mishandled twice in the judicial complex.

01:30Let me tell you something interesting.

01:32The situation was such that the people who were supposed to make the decision themselves,

01:37they were not in anyone's control.

01:39They were in Peshawar and wherever I went,

01:42the people were running their own system.

01:47It was an emotional environment.

01:49Okay, Mr. Asif, let me tell you exactly what Mr. Salman said.

01:53Please tell us what Mr. Salman said this time.

01:56Yes, sir, I told you exactly.

01:58So, you are saying that nothing like this happened.

02:01Look, Mr. Salman Akhilzai is our senior lawyer.

02:06He is our senior lawyer. I respect him a lot.

02:09I don't even have the knowledge.

02:11Maybe he has the knowledge.

02:12But you know that I am in all the forums.

02:14No such forum has been decided.

02:16If there has been a local decision, I don't know.

02:19Yes, and obviously, this is not a secret.

02:21Mr. Salman has a lot of respect and he is very legal.

02:23But obviously, politically, you are much more biased than him.

02:25You are closer to the leadership, sir, you are saying.

02:27So, you are saying that in your knowledge, there is nothing like this.

02:29So, sir, later on, Mr. Murad Syed also had an audio that he said,

02:33that you have been told, you know where to go.

02:36Mr. Shariar Afridi said, I spoke to Mr. Asad Umar and we are going to GHQ.

02:40All these things also point to the fact that

02:42earlier, there was a discussion in the party about this.

02:45In fact, Mr. Salman, we ran half of it.

02:47He also said, Mr. Salman,

02:48that earlier, when Mr. Khan had a judicial complex,

02:50there were rangers in it and the ISI was also there.

02:52So, we then decided, the party,

02:53that now if something like this happens,

02:54if someone other than the police comes,

02:56then the response will also be where it should be,

02:57whether it is GHQ or not.

03:00Look, the first thing is that

03:02what happened with Mr. Khan should not have happened.

03:06The way the ranger was used against him in Abad,

03:09and the way he has been ridiculed,

03:13that Imran Khan is a country's prime minister,

03:16then a big star,

03:18he earned a name for this country,

03:21won the World Cup,

03:22built a hospital in Shaukat Khan,

03:24is a country's charismatic personality.

03:31And if you have a rivalry with him,

03:33then definitely,

03:35it is an insult to the people.

03:38You, publicly,

03:39and everyone else is watching,

03:41whoever has a legal right,

03:44if you have a position,

03:46then it is because of the law.

03:48The law has given it to you.

03:49If you misuse it,

03:51then you are doing something illegal.

03:53Imran Khan was arrested illegally.

03:56That is a valid allegation.

03:57And it should be questioned.

03:59It should be questioned.

04:00Why are they doing it illegally?

04:03But this country,

04:05first of all,

04:06I think there is no law in this country right now.

04:10This is a system of coercion and oppression.

04:13You think it is a valid allegation,

04:14but you are saying that

04:15there was no such decision

04:16to go outside GHQ.

04:17And sir,

04:18in the end,

04:19there is also one opinion,

04:20which Mr. Fawad Chaudhry has expressed,

04:22which I will tell you,

04:23because you are saying that

04:24we are going out on Friday.

04:26We are going out on Friday.

04:27And then we will increase the protest further.

04:28They think that

04:29they are in the street power.

04:31So the problem is not going to be solved like this.

04:32We will have to try some other way.

04:34I am telling you,

04:35you tell me,

04:36what is your opinion on this?

04:37Listen to what Mr. Fawad has to say.

04:38Now your street power is not with the PTI.

04:41Now these 20-25 people come,

04:44they get beaten up.

04:45Not at all.

04:464-5 people,

04:47the lawyers fail the next day.

04:4820 people,

04:49who get beaten up.

04:50No, no.

04:51Now look at this,

04:52why is it like this?

04:54It is like this because,

04:56see,

04:57a statement comes every day.

04:59One day it comes that

05:00we will talk to the army,

05:02and we will not talk to the political party.

05:06What is your opinion on this?

05:07Mr. Asad,

05:08then this will not happen,

05:09what they are saying,

05:10that less people come out,

05:11then half of them get arrested,

05:12then they get caught in the circle of bails,

05:13and get stuck.

05:15Look,

05:17first of all,

05:18we have not started a serious protest yet.

05:20What we are doing,

05:21we know that

05:22the situation is still bad.

05:26Yes, yes.

05:29Yes, Mr. Asad,

05:30can you hear me?

05:32Okay, I guess you cannot hear me.
