00:00What happened on the night of the election, on February 8th, February 9th, everyone saw it.

00:05How it changed in form 45, form 47 and how the results have been changed.

00:10After that, the process that we have, the post electoral process,

00:14which determines the irregularities, which is a constitutional requirement,

00:18which has to be fulfilled in 6 months.

00:2015 tribunals have been made by the Election Commission of Pakistan. 15.

00:245 for KP, 4 for Sindh, 3 for Balochistan, 1 for 3 seats of Islamabad,

00:31because there is a provincial assembly.

00:33And in Punjab, where there were elections on 350 seats, there were 2 tribunals.

00:41Now you can imagine, if you will make the whole process difficult like this,

00:46and then expect that people will not react, and how should the reaction be?

00:52If the president of Belarus is coming, you should not take care of him.

00:56If the SCO summit is taking place, you should not take care of him.

01:00When that is not happening, then what initiative does the government take?

01:04That is the key question.

01:05Okay, what should happen now?

01:06Let's move a little further.

01:09You have also explained the current situation.

01:11Mr. Mifta has also explained it. I think everyone knows.

01:13Actually, the position that Maria is in right now, the solution that Mifta gave,

01:20is that there should be an interim period and then a free, fair and transparent election.

01:25But the problem is that if you know the people of the present government,

01:29and are aware of their thinking,

01:31they want to make PTI a mess for all times to come.

01:36For them, if PTI remains, they will never have power in a free, fair election.

01:41But Mr. Zubair, let me add one thing to this.

01:43They think that if King Khan gets space and government,

01:47then they will destroy him.

01:49So, it is the same thing that either you die or you kill.

01:52Absolutely, but one thing is the government's mistake, which I think is a mistake.

01:59When the election was held in February 2024, PTI had the highest number of seats.

02:05If PMLN had not formed the government, they would have let PTI to form the government.

02:11This is the same Imran Khan, who in 2022, when the vote of no confidence was held,

02:17one year before that, 12 out of 13 by-elections were lost in all the provinces.

02:2212 by-elections out of 30.

02:24So, it was not that he was always popular.

02:26There were some reasons for his popularity.

02:29And the contributing factor in those reasons was PMLN or PVP coming to power

02:34and targeting PTI in that way, giving them all the support of the oppressed,

02:40and then sitting in the lap of the establishment.

02:43And making PTI or Imran Khan the champion of the anti-establishment campaign,

02:49which has always been in Pakistan.

02:51The mandate that Mr. Nawaz Sharif had, the basis on which he was governing.

02:57But Mr. Zubair, if we had given you the government,

03:03then the PMLN and the rest of the people would have gone to jail.

03:08Because Mr. Khan was angry, they would have taken revenge, they would have gone to jail.

03:12Maria, let me just clarify one thing.

03:14Maria, let me just clarify one thing.

03:16This kind of assumption, if it happens,

03:18that in 2022, when the vote of no confidence was held,

03:21some PMLN leaders, like I remember Khurram Dastgir in an interview,

03:25a lot of people used to say that this was also done because Tainati was to happen in November.

03:30And if Tainati would have happened in November,

03:32then the constitution would have been destroyed.

03:34Now there is something left of the constitution,

03:36that is not an appointment, that was not Tainati.

03:38So on this basis, you cannot do your politics,

03:41that if he comes, then what will he do?

03:43Let's talk about politics, let's take it a little further.

03:46Mr. Mirta, where is politics at the moment?

03:48Do you think that the politics being done by the PMLN,

03:52this is their best practice politics,

03:55they have no other option.

03:57If Mr. Khan stays in jail,

03:59only then will they be able to govern in peace.

04:01If he comes out, then they will give him a tough time.

04:03Then you know, the opposition, I feel that natural habit,

04:06Mr. Khan's habit is in opposition.

04:08They do strong opposition.

04:12Look, Maria, from a political point of view,

04:15when the PTI calls for a protest and the PMLN,

04:20if they call the government PMLN,

04:22if they put a container, then it is a political defeat.

04:27If the Muslim League, earlier it used to be that

04:30if Ibrahim Khan used to do a protest of 50,000,

04:32then the strategy of the Muslim League was that

04:34we will do a protest of 60,000 somewhere in Punjab.

04:37If you do it in Lahore, then we will do it in Gujranwala.

04:39If you do it in Faisalabad, then we will do it in Islamabad, Rawalpindi.

04:43Now this is not the case.

04:44Now it is that you are just playing defense,

04:46that he calls for a protest, you put a container.

04:49What is the politics of the Muslim League?

04:51There is no politics of the Muslim League.

04:53If you ask Zoraon, he says,

04:55whatever is said to us, we do it.

04:57At least what they say, Allah knows the truth.

05:02But the Muslim League is not doing any politics.

05:04Right now, if you are arresting people in Punjab,

05:08how you are making people quiet,

05:10how you have changed some political loyalty,

05:13this is not politics.

05:16If you think that the Muslim League was defeated on 24th February,

05:22then you see what will happen next time.

05:24There is no doubt that the economy has improved a little

05:27and the inflation has decreased,

05:29so they are able to show their faces.

05:31But the fact of the matter is that

05:33the anger of the people can only come down to the ballot box,

05:36and you can see that in the next ballot box.

05:38The Muslim League is not doing any politics.

05:40That is why the People's Party goes to Qatar every day,

05:42gives some statements against them,

05:44and then comes back.

05:46At least they do some small politics.

05:48But this is not a part of Pakistan's politics,

05:51that you arrest people and go to their homes,

05:54and harass their daughters-in-law,

05:57or put so many containers.

05:59This is not our politics.

06:01And this is not even a long-term strategy.

06:03This is not even a long-term strategy.

06:05Mr. Zubair, the situation is that there are two scenarios.

06:08Either Tehreek-e-Insan, in a large number,

06:10will be successful in bringing people to the streets for protest.

06:13This is one possibility. We will see about that.

06:15The second possibility is that the government will not allow them to come.

06:18And they will not be able to come out in large numbers.

06:21Let's unpack both of them.

06:23First, if Tehreek-e-Insan is not allowed in large numbers,

06:26do you think that their voters will be mobilized after that?

06:29Will their protest workers be mobilized after that?

06:33Is this the final chance of Tehreek-e-Insan to give the government a tough time?

06:38PM LN has made a very simple decision.

06:44Most of the people are with PTI.

06:48And if we don't use this strategy,

06:51of holding and pushing,

06:53of scaring and threatening,

06:55of putting containers,

06:57then if lakhs of people come out,

06:59then the situation will be the same.

07:01So the option is only,

07:03which is a very risky option,

07:06that you make an image in front of the whole world,

07:09in which there is holding and pushing.

07:11And Maria, let me tell you this with my personal information,

07:14that the way they are holding and pushing,

07:16and taking them inside,

07:17and the way they are beating them,

07:19I am saying this on the basis of my personal information,

07:22I have never heard,

07:24and the people who are involved in this,

07:26and all the government people,

07:28they approve it on this basis,

07:32that if they terrorize them.

07:34This is very difficult,

07:36that what words did they use?

07:38When Maryam Nawaz had a rally on 13th December 2020,

07:41she said either R or Path.

07:43This was also there,

07:45that either this way or that way.

07:47I was also in Lahore.
