00:00I was just asking Mr. Kamran Murtaza,
00:02because we just met at Mr. Achadzai's farmhouse.
00:05It ended a while ago.
00:06Mr. Kamran says that
00:07there is a possibility of an all-parties conference,
00:09but some things have yet to be decided between us and the PTI.
00:12After that, we'll see if we want to be a part of it or not.
00:15And when I asked about Mr. Wazir Adam's arrival,
00:17he said that someone had stepped on Mr. Maulana's foot
00:20and his foot was injured.
00:21So, he had come to pay his respects.
00:23That's all.
00:24In your opinion…
00:25Even I had a similar joke.
00:28So, in your opinion,
00:30will the PTI and Mr. Maulana be able to get along so well
00:33that they can walk together on the streets?
00:35I think Manila is very far away.
00:37Do you think it's close, Mr. Fawad?
00:39No.
00:40Look, it was six months ago.
00:42And 75% of it was the fault of the PTI.
00:45When they started talking,
00:49and this constitutional amendment…
00:52When I spoke to Mr. Maulana,
00:54he said that in the constitutional amendment,
00:57the formula for the constitutional benches
00:59was brought by the PTI itself.
01:01Mr. Salman Akram Raja drafted it.
01:03So, when there were things at the end,
01:05they should have sat down and told us
01:07that this is acceptable and this is not acceptable.
01:10Then the PTI said that
01:12we will not talk directly to the Noon League
01:15and the People's Party.
01:17And bypassing Mr. Achak Zahi and Mr. Maulana,
01:20you sat down with them.
01:22So, look, this was the thing for six months.
01:25You know, in your program,
01:27I have been saying for months
01:29that it is necessary for the opposition alliance
01:31to be formed and there is no other way.
01:33But anyway, I met Mr. Mukhtar Khan
01:36and I gave him a lot of strength and said,
01:38Sir, look, there is a fight with the establishment.
01:41Then there is a fight with your government parties.
01:43And now we understand that
01:45we have to fight with all the opposition parties.
01:47So, this is difficult.
01:49But he said that I have already said
01:51that there should be an alliance and things should move forward.
01:54But unfortunately, because there is a lot of capacity issue,
01:57because of that, it was delayed.
01:59And I agree with you that
02:01it will take time for this alliance
02:03to move towards street movement.
02:06A lot of things are yet to be decided.
02:09Yes, okay.
02:10And Mr. Fawad, please explain this to us.
02:12We were all very surprised.
02:13Then you removed some of our surprise.
02:15But please analyze this a little.
02:17On the one hand, we can see that
02:19there are a lot of tweets and statements.
02:21In this situation, there is no one else.
02:23In fact, the minister of the province
02:25comes on television and tells in detail
02:27that after 26th November,
02:2988% was decided, then 99% was decided.
02:31Now there is another meeting.
02:33Then almost everything will be decided.
02:35Then if someone moves back, then that responsibility.
02:37So, it seems that everything has been decided since Fawad.
02:39Now only the announcement is left.
02:41Mr. Khan told you that there is nothing like this.
02:43So, Mr. Ali, what was to be communicated?
02:45What was this?
02:48See, Ali Ameen is also trying.
02:51Minister Saif is also trying.
02:53Because they have relations.
02:55There are relations on both sides.
02:57And they are also heard.
03:00But the issue is that
03:02what I talked to Mr. Khan,
03:04he said the same thing.
03:06See, our issue is
03:08going to Benigala from here
03:10or going to Naxian Gali
03:12or going to such a place is not.
03:14If this thing had to be accepted,
03:16then it would have been offered in Benigala itself.
03:18What happened with Nawaz Sharif,
03:20what happened with the BBS party,
03:22then it would have been done.
03:24But look at Imran Khan, he will not come to this.
03:26There is only one issue on which
03:28there will be a discussion.
03:30And that is when the election will take place.
03:32And the thing that can be asked from Imran Khan
03:34in the election is
03:36how much time are you ready to give?
03:38Now, of course,
03:40the people of the Noon League or the government
03:42or the establishment say give two years.
03:44PTI will not say to do it in six months.
03:46In the meantime,
03:48a time limit can be set
03:50and should be.
03:52Apart from this, there is no point
03:54in any more negotiations.
03:56The problem of PTI is also that
03:58the people who sit in negotiations
04:00or do it,
04:02they also need their capacity
04:04that you can make formulas,
04:06you can make things,
04:08that is also a little problem.
04:10Isn't there that capacity in Mr. Gandapur?
04:12I mean,
04:14Gandapur is a very strong worker.
04:16Very good,
04:18we will go with Imran Khan,
04:20he will do it.
04:22But if you say that he can do it himself,
04:24he cannot do it.
04:26What is your opinion on the issue of salary?
04:28You think it has increased today.
04:30The speaker said that whoever has an objection,
04:32write it down and give it,
04:34we will not increase it.
04:36What is your opinion on this?
04:38No, this is absolutely the right decision.
04:40Except that such a parliament has done
04:42which is not a representative.
04:44If a representative did parliament,
04:46then this is a very good decision.
04:48And the reason for this is that ultimately
04:50you have to give incentive to the middle class
04:52to do politics.
04:54If you have to out the middle class
04:56and traditionally it used to happen
04:58that if you go a little,
05:00then in the first elections
05:02only the taxpayer could vote.
05:04If you are not a taxpayer
05:06and are not affiliated with the government,
05:08then you gave the right to vote
05:10to the common man.
05:12You see, you have to bring the common man
05:14to the parliament.
05:16Like most of the PTI people
05:18have spent a lot of money.
05:20Most of them are middle class people.
05:22When MQM was in Karachi,
05:24most middle class people
05:26come from there.
05:28So in these parties,
05:30you have to encourage the middle class
05:32to make politics their career.
05:34So it is necessary to have a good salary
05:36for the common man.
05:38If you look at the salary of judges
05:40which is the highest in South Asia,
05:42I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
