Transcript

00:00Q. Senator, you have said that Pakistan is under attack from the past few days.

00:08If you look at KP or Balochistan, there are different fronts, but they are being targeted.

00:14Do you think that it was necessary to send a message of unity from here at this time?

00:22Q. Senator, you have said that Pakistan is under attack from the past few days.

00:28If you look at KP or Balochistan, there are different fronts, but they are being targeted.

00:34Do you think that it was necessary to send a message of unity from here at this time?

00:40Q. Senator, you have said that Pakistan is under attack from the past few days.

00:44I just want to give you an example.

00:46More than 48 hours ago, Pakistan faced 45 terrorist attacks.

00:56More than 48 hours ago, Pakistan faced 45 terrorist attacks.

01:07There is no doubt that the message of unity should be conveyed.

01:12I was also with Nadeem Malik on the day of the hijacking of the train and the attack.

01:19The same thing was being said there that the whole of the nation approach should be taken.

01:24And in the whole of the nation approach, you cannot achieve the whole of the nation approach

01:29by excluding the biggest political party in the country.

01:32And I would like to make one thing clear, because you have mentioned it twice in your introduction.

01:38Yesterday, when we were asked for a list, you agreed to it.

01:44And apart from that, when we had to communicate about the decision of participation,

01:49what I can see is that there has been an attempt to create confusion

01:57or to make the PTI a dead allegation.

02:01There is nothing like that in this.

02:03First, there was a meeting of the parliamentary party.

02:05It was during the day.

02:06Even in the meeting of the parliamentary party, the decision was that participation would be required.

02:12And on that occasion, a list was sent.

02:15But sending a list did not mean that participation would be required.

02:18After that, the meeting of the political committee took place in the evening after Iftaar

02:21and continued till 2.30 in the morning.

02:23But in the beginning itself, the decision was made.

02:26The same thing that took place in the meeting of the parliamentary party,

02:29that too took place in the evening in the meeting of the political committee.

02:33And there, 27 people participated.

02:37Out of that, 4 people said that non-conditional participation should be taken.

02:42But the majority of the 23 people…

02:46They left after seeing the social media.

02:48The overwhelming majority said that conditional participation will be taken.

02:51And to what extent was it conditional? Only one.

02:53And we do not think that there was any illegitimate or irresponsible demand in it.

02:59Only this.

03:00That we should have access to our Bani chairman, Mr. Imran Khan.

03:03We should be able to take guidance from him.

03:05And his notice had also gone to the government.

03:09The state had a good notice.

03:12But when our condition…

03:15So when Amir Dogar sent this list…

03:19When Amir Dogar sent this list, you were not in agreement.

03:23But you said that since there is a deliberation on this, we will send the names in advance.

03:26No, no. There was agreement even then.

03:28The list was sent because if there had been a decision later that we will participate,

03:32then the speaker's office would not have been open at 2 in the night to collect the list.

03:36And in the morning, there was a complete siege there.

03:40So we had to send the list that if there is participation, then these people will participate.

03:45So you wrote the letter at night, right?

03:50No, so the letter…

03:55But my question is that if the speaker's office was not open at 2 or 12 at night,

04:00then you had written the letter at that time.

04:06Okay.

04:15Hmm.

04:16I am not saying that the entire opposition, including Akhtar Jaan Mengal and his party,

04:21and Mehmood Khan Achakzai and his party, and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas and his party,

04:26and the entire opposition did not participate.

04:29And they had their own reasons.

04:31This was our reason.

04:32But the declaration that came after that, at least I consider one thing to be positive,

04:37that there is a need for national agreement in this, whatever action is to be taken.

04:40Yes, so Maulana Fazlur Rehman was present there.

04:43Yes.

04:50Mr. Rana, what do you think are the reasons?

04:52Yesterday, we thought that when we did our show, that now PTI has to participate in this,

04:57because they had given the name and the impression was that it was going.

05:00Later, it was felt that when a little trolling started on social media,

05:03then they said that something was wrong.

05:08But first of all, this…

05:09There was a disagreement in the party.

05:11It is a regrettable thing that we have to discuss PTI and their internal matters again and again.

05:19And the focus where it should be, is not there.

05:22Because they plan it like that.

05:25Because he said that you excluded a central party of Pakistan.

05:30No, we invited them.

05:32Their opposition leaders belong to PTI.

05:36And a list was asked from them, that you tell me who all have to participate.

05:39So, they were invited.

05:41An open invitation.

05:43See, their entire policy in the last one and a half years,

05:46whether it is to fight elections in Oxford,

05:49it had only one purpose, that international pressure should fall on Mr. Khan.

05:53In America, they addressed the senators,

05:56which they did, ruined the country.

05:58The purpose was the same, that external pressure should fall.

06:02This is also a moment in the history of Pakistan,

06:07that you have to be on the right side.

06:09You have to decide, as a community,

06:13what is important for you.

06:15Is national interest important for PTI?

06:17It should be more important than political interest.

06:19Yes, political interest.

06:20Now, this is such a thing, we were not allowed to meet.

06:22Okay, if you were not allowed to meet,

06:24then you could have come there and talked about it.

06:26But not participating,

06:28it is a very negative step that PTI took.

06:31And I understand that this is not the time to create division.

06:36This is not the time to create divisions.

06:38This is not the time for your conversation to be divided.

06:42But unfortunately, who can make them understand?

06:44Their attitude has always been the same.

06:47And maybe they are also divided.

06:49A majority in their party,

06:51I think, who had decided that we should include non-constitutional,

06:56they could not prevail because of this fear,

06:59that what will be Mr. Khan's reaction.

07:01Because their agenda is different.

07:03When your agenda is different,

07:05then it is obvious that you are exposed.

07:07And I think, today PTI was exposed in the worst way.

07:10And their voters too,

07:12they too must have regretted that at such a moment,

07:14where your internal rifts do not matter.

07:19These small things do not matter.

07:21But what mattered for the country,

07:23that their presence was there.

07:25I think that even today we should give the same message

07:28that APK's chief executive was present,

07:30so their presence was there.

07:32It is a good thing.

07:34This input is very important.

07:36It is a good thing that there is a conversation,

07:38there is a discussion,

07:40and things are resolved on this forum.

07:42So I think that today PTI is standing on the wrong side of history.
