00:00First of all, please tell us quickly that this is a matter of negotiation

00:05and the issue of printing at your home or Madrasa has also come under discussion.

00:09So, first of all, please tell us quickly, what was the result of this?

00:12Did you really get arrested there?

00:14Was there any attempt?

00:15Did you manage to escape from this roof to that roof, from that house to that house?

00:20Or did you feel that they had created an environment to harass you?

00:25Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Wasim.

00:27Sir, first of all, you also know my temperament.

00:29We are not in a hurry to harass.

00:31So, it was not for harassment.

00:33Let me tell you that I had come to a decision for my dental surgery

00:38and then I decided that I will hold a press conference.

00:41My SIC office is next to Jamar-e-Zawiyah.

00:46And you know that it is the largest institution in Pakistan.

00:50During my press conference, all of a sudden, the police reach there.

00:55Yes.

00:56And all of our media brothers there, they cut it live.

01:01There, the SP, DSP, SHO, the police come there.

01:09The internal sources, of course, we belong to the same city.

01:13They were saying that arresting is the aim.

01:16And when they were asked, they didn't reply to anything.

01:20There was a large number of our party workers there.

01:25There were about 1,000-1,500 students of Jamia.

01:29And they stayed there for two and a half hours.

01:32First, they came inside the premises.

01:34Then they were told to leave the premises.

01:37All of their videos are available.

01:40I came out myself.

01:42I asked them why they had come.

01:45No one had an answer.

01:47And the police stayed there for two and a half hours.

01:50Then I managed to escape.

01:52Waseem bhai, it is an internal city.

01:55It is adjacent to Gantagar.

01:57Jamar-e-Zawiyah is in Jang Bazaar.

01:59And you know that in the old style of construction,

02:02which is before the establishment of Pakistan,

02:04the roofs of the houses are joined with the houses.

02:07So, I managed to escape that way from there.

02:10So, when they came to arrest you,

02:12when you asked them what the matter was,

02:14they did not arrest you.

02:16Sir, how could they?

02:18You saw the video.

02:20How many people were there with me?

02:22So, it was not possible for them.

02:24So, the matter of arrest happened first.

02:27And the announcement of suspension of negotiations

02:30was made later by Gauhar.

02:32I am asking this because I remember this.

02:34Irfan Siddiqui was with us a few minutes ago.

02:36He said that when PTI,

02:38when Gauhar announced the suspension of negotiations,

02:42the situation of Hamid Radha Sahib's Madrasah changed.

02:45Now PTI is saying that we are cancelling the negotiations because of this.

02:48This is also a reason.

02:50However, the announcement of suspension of negotiations was made earlier.

02:53The police went to Hamid Radha Sahib's house later.

02:55Is this the order of the incident?

02:57No, absolutely not, Mr. Waseem-ud-Dameen.

02:59It is not like that.

03:01When I went for the press conference,

03:03before that, the head of our negotiating committee,

03:06Mr. Umar Ayub,

03:08we formed a group.

03:10I told him that after the press conference,

03:12God willing, I will reach Islamabad by night.

03:15And on behalf of Gauhar,

03:17there was no call off at all.

03:20Actually, when I left Faisalabad at around 4 am,

03:25I was in travelling.

03:27Naturally, I did not have my mobile phone

03:30so that my location could not be traced.

03:33I was on a journey.

03:35When I reached Islamabad,

03:37I found out that the lawyers who met Mr. Khan in the court,

03:41they told Mr. Khan about this incident.

03:44And on that, Mr. Khan finally announced the call off.

03:48And told Mr. Gauhar to call off.

03:51So, when Mr. Gauhar came out and told the reasons,

03:54there was no mention of the press conference at your house.

03:56Did you hear the whole conversation?

03:58He may have forgotten.

04:00That is why, immediately,

04:02the people who came out later,

04:04clarified it and Mr. Khan tweeted it as well.

04:08Okay.

04:09The main reason Mr. Gauhar told,

04:11he may have forgotten.
