00:00A new law has been introduced in the parliament.

00:04The National Assembly has passed it.

00:06The purpose of this law is very clear.

00:12The majority judgment of the Supreme Court has to be null and void.

00:17Or it has to be proven ineffective.

00:21Today, when this law was introduced,

00:23Mr. Balal Azhar Qaini, the MLA of JLM,

00:27and his opponent, Mr. Mubaina, who is also from Farm 47,

00:31are explaining the three basic points of the law.

00:35The National Assembly has passed the amendments to the Elections Act.

00:40There are three sections of the bill.

00:42If you do not submit your party certificate as a candidate in front of the returning officer,

00:47then you will be considered a free candidate.

00:49If any party does not submit its list of reserve seats at the appointed time,

00:53then that party will not be eligible for the quota of reserve seats after the elections.

00:57When a free candidate contests the elections and wins,

01:01and then decides to join a party,

01:05then that decision is irrevocable.

01:07It cannot be reversed.

01:09Viewers, if you look at the draft of the law that has been passed by the National Assembly,

01:14there are three or four sections that have been included.

01:16The current government says that we have only approved the laws of the past.

01:20The important point that has been included in it is that

01:24this law will be in effect from 2017.

01:30The law has been passed today, but it will be in effect retrospectively from 2017.

01:36After that, another point has been included,

01:40that if there is an order from the Supreme Court or a High Court,

01:44then there will be no obstacle in the practice of this law.

01:50This has been targeted by the Supreme Court.

01:54We are not saying this.

01:56Barrister Gohar in the Parliament says this.

02:00Viewers, we have invited Kamal Dilshah to our program.

02:04He is the former Secretary of the Election Commission.

02:06He has a lot of knowledge about the existing laws in Pakistan regarding elections.

02:12We read a lot of his comments in the newspapers.

02:17Thank you very much, Kamal Dilshah.

02:19Please explain in general terms.

02:22A Supreme Court decision has been issued, the biggest court in Pakistan.

02:26The decision is also unambiguous.

02:28It is a majority decision, according to Article 8.5.

02:32In it, as Mr. Barrister Gohar is saying,

02:3411 judges, including the Chief Justice of Pakistan,

02:38agreed that the Election Commission had misinterpreted our decision.

02:44The candidates of Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaf were present.

02:47When the election took place, Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaf should have been present as a parliamentary party.

02:53Due to the wrong decision of the Election Commission,

02:57this was a big mistake.

03:00A grave sin was committed.

03:02All the judgments were made to rectify that sin.

03:07Now, the Parliament has come forward.

03:09The Parliament has passed the law today.

03:11You will go to the Senate on behalf of the National Assembly.

03:13Obviously, there will be an investigation.

03:17So, you tell me, what next?

03:20What do you expect from the people of Pakistan or the media of Pakistan?

03:25On one hand, the Supreme Court's judgment.

03:27On the other hand, the new law of the National Assembly has been passed.

03:31What will you say about this?

03:33You have run the Election Commission for many years.

03:36You have seen the election laws very closely.

03:38Yes, Mr. Qamar.

03:40The most important thing in this is that the majority of the Supreme Court of Pakistan

03:46did not pass a formal ruling.

03:50In fact, they decided that the Election Commission of Pakistan

03:54should take some action on specific seats.

03:58But along with this, a very important thing has happened, which the media has ignored.

04:03The biggest thing in this is that the Election Commission of Pakistan

04:06has presented a new point in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

04:10According to Section 208 of the Election Act,

04:14Tehreek-e-Insaf did not hold the elections.

04:19So, according to our record, they are not a member of the party.

04:23They do not have a Secretary General or a Chairman.

04:26So, what are the reasons for this?

04:29In this case, who will sign the application?

04:34Neither the Secretary General nor the Chairman can do it.

04:38Because according to the law, he is neither the Chairman nor the Secretary General.

04:42So, this is a loss that the Election Commission has accumulated in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

04:47So, they will work on it.

04:49But the Election Act that has been approved today,

04:52now the Parliament will be in charge.

04:56And the Supreme Court of Pakistan will not take any action in accordance with that situation.

05:02Just like during the time of Umar Atta Bandiyar,

05:05he had announced the election schedule of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,

05:08but he refused to take part in the Parliament.

05:12Umar Atta Bandiyar was the Chief Justice.

05:15So, looking at these circumstances, we can see that

05:18the women's specific consultations have become political.

05:22It has been out of the law.

05:24Now there is a direct problem.

05:26So, this matter will continue to run between the Election Commission and the Supreme Court.

05:31And there will be no end to it.

05:33But the Parliament has passed a bill.

05:36In my opinion, the Supreme Court of Pakistan can sign a petition.

05:41But looking at the current Chief Justice,

05:44we can see that he will refrain from taking part in this matter.

05:49He has already decided that the Parliament is very weak.

05:52We will accept the decision of the Parliament.

05:55So, the decision given by the Election Act 104 by the Election Commission of Pakistan will remain.

06:02And the Election Commission has acknowledged its authority

06:05that we have to look at the Supreme Court and the High Courts,

06:08but we also have to look at our Election Act.

06:11And today they have got a lot of strength that the Election Act has been approved.

06:16So, in your opinion, this matter is now being presented to the Supreme Court of Pakistan again.

06:23Obviously, you are absolutely right.

06:25When a new law has been made,

06:27and it has also been pointed out that no decision of the Supreme Court will have an effect on it,

06:32no decision of the High Court will have an effect,

06:35then a decision is already in the field.

06:38So, when the decision has to be taken back at some point,

06:41will it go to the government?

06:44I would like to add that after the approval of the Election Act,

06:47the decision of the Supreme Court has no effect.

06:50The Parliament and the Supreme Court have not come forward.

06:55So, they will have to accept the decision of the Parliament,

06:58but they will refrain from taking part in this matter.

07:00Absolutely right.

07:01Mr. Qamar Dilshad, how will the 77 seats be resolved now?

07:10Because the real fight is on that.

07:12Now it has been said that this cannot happen, this cannot happen.

07:16Now, the decision of the Peshawar High Court, the election commission,

07:20you know that the decision of the Supreme Court has already been declared invalid.

07:24What will happen next?

07:26What will be the solution to this problem?

07:28Mr. Qamar Dilshad, you are also right.

07:31We are also seeing that this will continue and time will pass.

07:34And these seats will not be given to any party.

07:37And this system will continue to run like this.

07:39They will not get any party.

07:42I have seen that Sunni Daal is not taking much interest in this.

07:45And the PTI is also playing a political game.

07:47And the PTI is not even able to see that the foreign funding case

07:51that has been forced by the election commission has been decided.

07:55And the foreign funding case that has been forced,

07:58then where will the party stand?

08:00The party will automatically stand.

08:02So, all these matters are very serious.

08:04Slowly, slowly you will see the run.

08:06It is very good, it is very important.

08:08Let it be done today.

08:09Yes, we will do it.

08:10Mr. Qamar Dilshad, thank you very much.

08:12We feel very ashamed.

08:13Thank you very much.
