00:00Mr. Sharmila, starting from you, on one hand, we will not break the unity, and we will maintain

00:09the unity.

00:10At this time, Pakistan needs unity for stability.

00:13These statements are seen.

00:15On the other hand, these statements are also heard that there was no doubt about Sadr sahib.

00:21He signs.

00:22Where are the mirrors in Pakistan?

00:24So Sadr sahib is a very seasoned politician, very seasoned person himself.

00:30When he must have signed, Mr. Sharmila, he must not have done this, right?

00:34Thank you, Aniga.

00:38Look, any project, any kind of project, any kind of plan, cannot be approved by Sadr sahib's sign, right?

00:51Because he is not the executive head of the government.

00:54He is the constitutional head.

00:56He is the symbol of loyalty.

00:57Yes, he can get briefings.

00:59He can take a briefing on different issues, on different matters.

01:03He can also give his opinion.

01:05But it is not possible, legally and legally, that he agrees to any plan or not.

01:13It's not possible.

01:14It's not possible.

01:15Because the entire government, the executive, runs under the cabinet of the Prime Minister.

01:22Even this plan has to be approved by the ACNIC.

01:25Sadr sahib does not have to approve it.

01:28Now, to drag Sadr sahib into everything, to bring him into everything, this is actually politics.

01:34The thing is, it is a very ordinary question of mine, which we have been asking for many months.

01:42Sindh raised an objection to this plan.

01:45And Sindh's demand is that you call a meeting of the Council of Common Interest.

01:50And there should be deliberations within it.

01:53You decide within it whether the plan should be implemented or not.

01:57We will fight our case there.

01:59Today is the 14th month.

02:01There should be a CCI meeting every 90 days on a regular basis.

02:06What is the compulsion, what is the violation, what is the obstruction that the Prime Minister has not been able to call a CCI meeting?

02:13When such a big issue has been raised, the entire Sindh has raised an objection.

02:18Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari sahib is talking about it.

02:22When the parliamentary year started, Sadr Zardari sahib said very clearly that

02:29as a constitutional head of the government, I cannot support this plan.

02:36So that's an important point.

02:37And these unilateral decisions are weakening Wafaaq.

02:40I don't want to hear anything after this.

02:42Give me a clarification, why did we have to talk about this at the beginning of the parliamentary year?

02:48This has been going on for a year now.

02:52Why wasn't it said from that time itself that this press release was wrong?

02:57Or it is being misconstrued in a different way.

03:01This is basically not permission.

03:03Why is this happening now?

03:05Because now you have heard what Azma Bukhari said.

03:07She is insisting that the budget is also going to come.

03:13Again, everything is based on false statements.

03:16The point is that why was it clarified now?

03:19Or why was it discussed?

03:21Because now the parliamentary year of the National Assembly has started.

03:25And Sadr Zardari sahib, at the beginning of every parliamentary year,

03:29gives a direction to the government.

03:32Which he thinks the government should work on,

03:35which things should not be done,

03:37which things should be considered,

03:39which things should be paid attention to.

03:41So that's why this came up now.

03:43Before that, this was not an issue at all.

03:46Because Sadr Zardari sahib has never approved it.

03:49He is not in power.

03:51He takes briefings on a lot of things in his routine as Sadr-e-Mumlaqat.

03:56He also takes briefings on security situations.

03:58He also went to Balochistan.

04:00But this does not mean that if he took a security briefing,

04:03he made a decision.

04:05He said, go and do this work.

04:07Or hold this or leave that.

04:09So this logic will be taken towards Afnan sahib.

04:11No, no.

04:12Look, the point is this.

04:14And Sadr Zardari sahib's job is not at all

04:16to publish a press release on every news item or every news item.

04:22This is also not his job.

04:24When something has been said very clearly,

04:26we are fighting that this matter should not be taken to ACNIC

04:30and ACNIC should not approve it.

04:32We are fighting on this.

04:34Without approving it, when you have launched it in Punjab,

04:37then this is a strange thing.

04:39I will come back to you on that.

04:41And when the whole Sindh is on it,

04:45then what is the problem that the Prime Minister is not calling for a CCI meeting?
