00:00Sheikh sahib, are you done with the conversation?

00:05No, I am not done with the conversation.

00:07The conversation has just begun.

00:09The committee was formed after the massacre of 26,

00:14which happened because of the article 245 of the Prime Minister.

00:18And we provided an opportunity for all stakeholders and concerned quarters

00:22that whoever has anything to say,

00:24whether it is the government or the establishment,

00:30or with the establishment, whoever has anything to say,

00:32they can start the conversation.

00:34So, you saw the first meeting.

00:37You saw the second meeting.

00:39We thought that there was no need to return anything.

00:45But other friends think that we need a return.

00:49So we said that we cannot proceed without meeting Mr. Khan.

00:53But unfortunately, as we speak,

00:58because the Speaker's office still facilitates

01:01whatever is the case with the government

01:04with regards to this discussion committee.

01:06So, as we speak, we do not have any intimation from the Speaker's office

01:10regarding the meeting.

01:12Other than that, things are fine.

01:14I think what is meant by fine is that

01:17Mr. Malik, the thing is that the assessment can be done

01:21with regards to the things before the meeting.

01:24When the discussion will begin properly,

01:28there will be a discussion, there will be an exchange,

01:31there will be points, there will be a discussion.

01:34We can see only after that.

01:36So, as of now, I think that

01:40where the discussion has started,

01:43things are where they were.

01:45I don't think there is any such change in that.

01:47No, I am asking you because

01:49days matter because if there were open-ended negotiations,

01:52then it wouldn't matter for a week or two.

01:55January 31st is the deadline.

01:57And what Ms. Aleema has said,

02:00it has become clear that the deadline,

02:02according to what Mr. Khan has said, is in place.

02:05Now, the third week is still going on,

02:07so you people have not been able to formally present your demands.

02:11The meetings that were supposed to take place,

02:13of the party, of the negotiating committee,

02:15that is not happening.

02:16So, is the government non-serious?

02:18After all, what is the complicated issue in this?

02:20They could have met today, they could have met the day before.

02:23So, do you have any intention?

02:25This is what I think.

02:26This is what I think.

02:27Like you are saying that

02:28there is a need to assess the attitude of the government.

02:31The reason for that is that

02:32our Chief Minister is sitting in the meeting of the negotiations.

02:37The entire attendance is there,

02:39all the members of the Joint Committee of the Shirkah.

02:42And no one has time,

02:45nor is it necessary that

02:46only pictures are taken,

02:47or a person goes to a meeting to drink tea.

02:49You know that the worker of our party is also very charged,

02:53and he is also looking at everything very carefully.

02:56So, the party cannot afford this.

02:58So, I think that the seriousness of the party is present in its place.

03:01And why not be serious?

03:03I mean, even after the massacre of 26,

03:05if Imran Khan has made a committee

03:07and given this opportunity,

03:08then that means he is serious.

03:10Now, you can see how much he wants to take advantage of this opportunity.

03:13Look, sir,

03:14what a great job it was.

03:15We said, yes, if you arrange a meeting,

03:17then we have no issue with the return,

03:20but it is not possible without a meeting.

03:22And this is also our right.

03:24Last time, it was a very small meeting,

03:25a recorded meeting,

03:26in a small room.

03:27This time, if you make it extensive,

03:29then it does not make any difference.

03:31And they also agreed on that.

03:33If you can open the jail at 7 in the morning

03:35to delay a Jalsa,

03:36then the day we requested,

03:37the next day,

03:38let us arrange a meeting.

03:40The matter would be over.

03:41We would have called him the next day.

03:43So, we are seeing what he is doing.

03:46And this…

03:48Second, because you have also used the word massacre twice.

03:51Today, Alima Bibi has also said that

03:53Imran Khan has said that

03:55people are still unaware.

03:56Why is no voice being raised on this matter?

03:58And I am told that

03:59he said it quite harshly.

04:01And he was quite unhappy about it.

04:03Then we saw that everyone remembered.

04:05Salman Akram Raja Sahib also came out

04:07and spoke first that

04:08the real issue is that,

04:09the rest are secondary issues.

04:11Suddenly, now that issue has been raised.

04:13So, this is the criticism of leadership,

04:15of Khan Sahib.

04:17As far as you are talking,

04:20as far as my relationship is concerned,

04:22I get the opportunity to interact

04:24with my brothers 4-5 times a day.

04:28But if you see,

04:29for the past 10-12 days,

04:31there may be a time when,

04:33as a party,

04:34I have not raised this issue.

04:36And obviously, that matters.

04:37I have the responsibility.

04:39And I regularly,

04:41in interactions,

04:43say on behalf of the party,

04:45that we need justice for the martyrs.

04:47We need justice for the prisoners.

04:49And for the prisoners of 9th May.

04:51So, you were not scolded.

04:53Those who were scolded,

04:54they know.

04:55You also know.

04:56I am not saying that you were scolded.

04:57You were pardoned.

04:59Sir, when I am saying,

05:00the whole party is saying.
