Transcript

00:00On one hand we are talking about the amendment of the constitution and on the other hand we are talking about the amendment of article 148

00:04which is about the local bodies.

00:05MQM wanted to merge with this amendment.

00:08We have met PMLN.

00:10It is a high-powered delegation.

00:12Mr. Ahsan Iqbal was leading it.

00:13Mr. Rana Sanaullah, loyal minister of foreign affairs.

00:17Mr. Azam Nazeer Tarar was also there.

00:19We have met. What did we talk about?

00:20Dr. Farooq Sattar was also there.

00:21Let's talk to him.

00:22Dr. Sahab, thank you very much for joining me in the program.

00:24Dr. Sahab, tell us one thing.

00:26Was there a final decision made in the meeting with PMLN or not?

00:31Look, the iron is hot right now.

00:36You might think that's why we are hurting right now.

00:39But we have been trying to heat this iron even before the elections.

00:44And we had put all our political hen eggs in their basket.

00:51We told PMLN that we want to work with them in the future.

00:54The experience of PDM-1 did not deliver.

00:58It did not perform.

00:59PDM-1 did a lot.

01:00But we could see a political roadmap.

01:05And the good thing was that there was a lot of sensitization in PMLN.

01:14And it is the first big party in Pakistan.

01:16Almost all the big leaders of the party are talking about a local government.

01:26Are you talking about the PMLN?

01:28When the local bodies were going to be elected in Islamabad,

01:32the local body elections were being delayed.

01:36This is the same party that does not let the local body elections or grassroots to reach the people.

01:42All the parties are like this.

01:44Now everyone has understood this.

01:47And the new generation, the relatively young parliamentarians who have become MNAs,

01:53who have gone to the provincial assembly,

01:55they have pushed their top leaders.

01:58But you have a relatively young senior leader.

02:01No, he is effective in policy.

02:03He has written songs on the local government.

02:08The local government has also written a thesis on research.

02:10And when our local government lawyer proposed constitutional amendments for local autonomy,

02:19I think that earlier the big parties used to say that a strong centre is a strong Pakistan.

02:26Then the compassionate parties used to say that a strong province is a strong Pakistan.

02:31And the big parties had to agree.

02:33But the strong province has become so strong that it has destroyed the existence of the local government.

02:41This is an important point.

02:45Because the 18th amendment means the devolution of democracy.

02:49The devolution of democracy should go to the local body government under the 18th amendment.

02:53But this has not happened yet.

02:55Doctor, have any promises or commitments been made in today's meeting?

02:59Will there be a continuation in this amendment?

03:03Don't look at today's meeting in isolation.

03:06Yesterday we had a whole delegation, including Aminul Haq, Kamran Tissuri, Governor Singh.

03:14They were sitting with their senior PM's wife in the Prime Minister's house.

03:22And we had a very open discussion on at least two or three issues.

03:27And the same thing has been repeated today.

03:29First of all, this amendment has not been passed to make the democracy strong and stable.

03:37Participatory and inclusive democracy will come only when this amendment is passed in the constitution.

03:45Doctor, has there been a discussion?

03:46The Prime Minister has also agreed to this.

03:51That this session will be held for this amendment.

03:55When the actual draft will be in front of everyone.

03:59And then there will be a debate and counting.

04:03Then everything will be clear that there is no strength, there is no truth, etc.

04:07We wanted to make it a club.

04:10In this judicial reform bill.

04:13But they say that there is a different view of different parties.

04:18So that the bill does not get diluted.

04:21So we have agreed to this.

04:23Then they say that this is such a bill.

04:26And there is weight in their argument too.

04:28That if it is separate and separate.

04:30We said, okay, so you are 26th.

04:32The government should own it.

04:3327th.

04:34So in other words, I'm sorry I'm cutting you short, Doctor.

04:38They have agreed to this in different words.

04:42They have agreed to this in different words.

04:44They have agreed to this categorically.

04:46They have given a commitment.

04:48And they have said that before this session is over.

04:52The introduction of this bill should take place.

04:56We have already put this bill as a private member.

04:59But our desire is because.

05:01I have signed a memorandum of understanding with PMLN.

05:04I will come to the MOU.

05:06Let me say this for clarity.

05:08This time, Article 140A will not be a part of the 26th amendment.

05:13The 27th amendment will come.

05:15And that is this.

05:16But yes, the 26th amendment is in danger at this time.

05:19Whether the numbers will be completed or not.

05:21The 27th amendment is not like that.

05:23Let me tell you one thing.

05:24Yes.

05:25Once a number is put on any constitutional amendment.

05:28Whether it is 25th or 24th.

05:30Some of them have not been passed.

05:32But their numbers are put in the same way.

05:34Okay.

05:35Whether this bill is passed or not.

05:37This local body bill will definitely be passed.

05:39Is that what you are saying?

05:40There are more chances of this bill being passed.

05:42This will expose everyone.

05:44The reason for the failure of the democracy in Pakistan.

05:47Number one is that.

05:49Our democracy is not participatory.

05:51Our democracy does not have the ownership of the common people.

05:54Doctor, it is important.

05:56And I am surprised that.

05:58When there was a special committee of Khurshid Shah.

06:01Asim Nazir Tarim circulated this bill to all our members.

06:06Okay.

06:07Think about it.

06:09And we appeal to all the parties.

06:11That this bill should be passed.

06:13Are you discussing with the other parties?

06:15I am coming to that.

06:17And the nationalist communities of Baluchistan have supported this bill.

06:21The nationalist communities have started supporting this bill for the first time.

06:25So I think this is happiness in Pakistan.

06:27If Allah wills.

06:29I guarantee that the car of democracy will never come off the track.

06:33I am telling you.

06:35If the people get the ownership.

06:37All the young people of Pakistan will be united.

06:41Look, there are 1,400 representatives of the people in the Senate.

06:45In the National Assembly.

06:46And in all four provincial assemblies.

06:48And they have to run such a big bureaucracy.

06:50They have to run such a big system and network.

06:52No, it is not the job of the MP, MNA to make the streets and all these things.

06:56There is no doubt about it.

06:57Local government is at this point in time very important.
