00:00Ladies and gentlemen, what is happening and what is going to happen?
00:02Maulana will agree. If he agrees, what will happen next?
00:04What is the inside story?
00:05Mr. Rameez Mir is with us.
00:07Mr. Mir, thank you very much for joining us on the show.
00:09Mr. Rameez Mir, obviously, you have a great and long career in journalism.
00:13What all did you not see in Islamabad?
00:15In the Parliament, apart from this, outside the Parliament, what all did you not see in Jammu?
00:18What happened yesterday, on Sunday,
00:21the amendments were made so quickly.
00:23The Noon League and People's Party together made the 18th amendment.
00:25There were big deliberations.
00:26It went on for 9-10 months.
00:28Whatever was happening, did you understand what had happened?
00:31It felt like there was no homework.
00:33It had not been like this since yesterday or the day before.
00:35It had been like this for many days that there was no homework.
00:38In this regard, some people from the cabinet warned Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif
00:46that we should not do anything in a hurry.
00:48Let me take the name of Mr. Rana Sinawala.
00:51He said that our number is not complete
00:54and we should not try for the constitutional amendment.
01:00But some other federal ministers started making big claims that our numbers game is complete
01:09and we will get the constitutional amendment completed.
01:12They even said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman is with us and he has assured us of his support.
01:19I have been hearing for the last 10-15 days that there are two points of view in the cabinet.
01:27One point of view is that our number will not be completed.
01:30The second point of view is that our number is complete.
01:33When people in the cabinet said that our number is not complete,
01:37they said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman is with us and he has big concerns and we have not yet shown our support to him.
01:50So, he will not vote for us.
01:52But some other ministers thought that we are done.
01:56They did not go and talk to Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
02:00They talked to someone else.
02:02And those who said that our number is not complete, they talked to Maulana Fazlur Rehman's party members
02:08and they realized that Maulana Fazlur Rehman's entire party, including Maulana Fazlur Rehman,
02:13is against this constitutional amendment package.
02:16Now, the key to this treasure was that Maulana Fazlur Rehman was called from somewhere
02:28and he was told that he will not only support this government, but he will also join the cabinet.
02:38So, the pressure that was put on him, some of the government's henchmen thought that our job is done.
02:47Maulana Fazlur Rehman is a telephone pole.
02:49So, Maulana Fazlur Rehman decided that if he thinks that he is a telephone pole,
02:56then you can see who gets beaten up.
02:59And I will give credit to Rana Sadaulah Sahib, he kept trying to convince Maulana Fazlur Rehman till the end
03:06that don't do it, don't do it, your numbers will not be completed.
03:09No one listened to him.
03:11He is an expert in political matters.
03:13I wish the Prime Minister would have listened to him.
03:15But if the Prime Minister kept listening to someone else, the result is in front of you.
03:19Neither was the homework complete, nor anything.
03:21See, this story started many days ago.
03:25First of all, Asif Ali Zardari Sahib went.
03:28And when Asif Ali Zardari Sahib went and spoke, Maulana Sahib explained to him in a way
03:35that you are my friend, you came to me, thank you very much.
03:39But for now, don't expect too much from me.
03:42But after that, Shabaz Sharif Sahib also reached.
03:46After that, other people also started contacting Maulana Sahib.
03:50And after the President and the Prime Minister, Maulana Sahib was also called from outside.
03:55So I think Maulana Sahib was put under unnecessary pressure and was offended.
04:01And then the Constitutional Amendment was also not in front of you.
04:05And in Maulana Sahib's mind, it was also that a few days ago in the Mubarak Sani case,
04:09we brought out the nation from such a big controversy.
04:14And now we are going to get stuck in another controversy.
04:17So that no one gets involved with us.
04:20So Maulana Sahib also saved himself.
04:22And I think he temporarily embarrassed the government.
04:28But actually he saved the government from a very big embarrassment.
04:32Because if there had been voting, then there would have been nothing left for the government.
04:38But why are the attempts still not ending?
04:41Bilawal Bhutto Zardari meets Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
04:43Is there still some hope?
04:45Or has this matter ended?
04:47Which was suspended till late at night on Sunday.
04:50Should this matter be considered over?
04:52Or what is happening that Bilawal is not meeting Maulana?
04:55No, the matter has not ended at all.
04:58And efforts are being made to not only onboard Maulana Sahib,
05:05but we are also talking to the investigators.
05:07You tell us, what are the cases on which you think we can make an amendment with consensus?
05:16Maulana Sahib's concern on this has been conveyed to the government in two or three cases.
05:23He said that we are not against the establishment of a constitutional court.
05:28We are also not against the addition of seats to the Balochistan Assembly.
05:32But if you want to make a constitutional court on Sunday,
05:38and then you want to increase the age of the judges of the constitutional court
05:42and make Qazi Faiz Issa Sahib the judge,
05:44this is not acceptable to us.
05:46You do this, wait for 15, 20, 1.5 months,
05:50let Qazi Faiz Issa Sahib retire,
05:52as he himself has said that he is not interested.
05:55Let him retire and then do as you say.
05:59Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman Sahib has shown so much flexibility.
06:02And the Judiciary also says that if you want to improve the method of appointment of judges,
06:07if you want to increase the seats of the Balochistan Assembly,
06:09then come and talk to us.
06:12But they claim that our four MNAs are missing,
06:16they are kept in the Punjab House,
06:17they should be released.
06:18And similarly, Akhtar Mangal Sahib is saying that you want two votes in my Senate,
06:23then you leave 2,000 missing persons,
06:25then take my vote as well.
06:26So in this way, the government can do it.
06:28But the government did not listen to Akhtar Mangal Sahib,
06:31did not listen to Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman Sahib,
06:33and did not listen to Rana Sanaullah.
06:35Sir, but these reforms are very dangerous in the constitution,
06:40which will have a lot of consequences.
06:42Do you think that a lot of major changes will have to be made in this,
06:45without which this work cannot move forward?
06:47Because if this happens,
06:48then the Supreme Court of the country,
06:49then the judicial system of the country,
06:51will have the same effect on everyone,
06:53on which Pakistan will face a lot of problems in the future,
06:56and these parties will realize later.
07:00No, these parties have already done a lot of such things.
07:03You see, they did a 19th amendment to the constitution.
07:07So through that 19th amendment,
07:09they formally accepted the dictation by this parliament.
07:11And in that dictation,
07:13the Supreme Court at that time,
07:16had complete support for Muslim law.
07:19And the People's Party was in government at that time.
07:21This is a matter of 2010.
07:23And through the constitutional amendment,
07:27the violations that arose in the method of appointment of judges,
07:30which could not be removed till now,
07:32now the government of Muslim League Noon wants to remove them.
07:35You see, this is the destruction of history.
07:38When the People's Party was in government,
07:40Muslim League Noon,
07:42along with the judiciary,
07:43forcibly made an amendment,
07:45because the Chief Justice at that time,
07:47was considered very close to Muslim League Noon.
07:50And now Muslim League Noon is in government,
07:52and they want to change the method of appointment of judges,
07:56to make it a constitutional court.
07:58So this is the history of these communities.
08:01But Amirbhai Sahib, the problem is that
08:03in the 18th amendment,
08:05they did a good job together,
08:07and then under pressure,
08:08with the dictation,
08:09in the 19th amendment,
08:10Noon League formally put pressure on the People's Party,
08:12and at that time,
08:13they did the wrong thing.
08:14Today, while accepting the wrong thing,
08:16they are saying,
08:17that they are rectifying it.
08:18But while rectifying it,
08:19they are doing so much wrong,
08:20will they realize it in the future,
08:22when the country must have suffered a lot of loss,
08:24that they did wrong?
08:26No, see, Shahzaib Sahib,
08:288-9 days ago,
08:30when I saw a contest for the first time,
08:33because these drafts,
08:34there are 3-4 types of drafts,
08:36the reason for that is,
08:37why are there 3-4 types of drafts?
08:39First, a draft was made,
08:40it was kept secret,
08:41it was shown to some people,
08:42it was not shown to others.
08:44Then, Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib,
08:46he refused to accept many things.
08:49So, to please him,
08:51or to please him,
08:52another draft was made.
08:54Now, the new draft that was made,
08:56instead of that,
08:57it was seen that,
08:58Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib,
09:00should accept this.
09:01So, he put some more dangerous things in that draft,
09:05to which you are pointing.
09:08Because, till that time,
09:09he had the impression,
09:11that we made Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib phone,
09:13and also made him say.
09:14So, now,
09:15Maulana Sahib is in our pocket.
09:17So, now, Maulana Sahib has said 2-3 things,
09:19that judges should not increase their retirement age,
09:23and there were a few more things.
09:26So, we put 5-6 more things in it.
09:28So, he put 5-6 more things.
09:30Now, when that new draft came,
09:32and he discussed it with Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib,
09:35so, Kamran Murtaza Sahib,
09:37he told Maulana Sahib,
09:38that this is a more dangerous draft than the first draft.
09:40Then, a third draft was made.
09:42So, that third draft,
09:44was leaked yesterday.
09:47But, before that,
09:48the two drafts,
09:49among them,
09:50the first draft was with the People's Party.
09:52So, now, the first draft with the People's Party,
09:55he compared it with the third draft,
09:57which came yesterday.
09:58So, the People's Party was also worried.
10:00So, it is not only that Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib,
10:03he refused to vote for this constitutional package of the government.
10:08The People's Party also had reservations on this.
10:11The BNP Mangal also had reservations on this.
10:13I am telling you a very interesting thing.
10:16Yesterday, the three senators of the Muslim League Noon,
10:20around 6-6.15 pm,
10:22they told their party members,
10:24that these are three different drafts,
10:26tell us which is the real draft.
10:28So, they were strictly told,
10:30that this is not your job,
10:31you just have to vote.
10:33So, all three of them,
10:34left the Parliament House and came to the Lodges,
10:37and they switched off their phones.
10:39And they threatened,
10:40that they will resign,
10:41if you misbehave with us in this way.
10:44You want to get our vote in a conspiratorial way,
10:48fine,
10:49you disqualify us,
10:50you can resign from us.
10:52So, it is not only that Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib,
10:55he refused to vote.
10:57The People's Party also had reservations on this,
10:59and their party also,
11:00the Muslim League Noon also had some reservations.
11:03And then, when they came to know,
11:05some parliamentarians of the Muslim League Noon,
11:08Nawaz Sharif Sahib,
11:09went back to Lahore.
11:10So, he told some of his ministers,
11:14that we will also not come in the morning.
11:17So, Shahzaib Sahib,
11:18this is not such an easy matter,
11:20it is not such a simple matter,
11:21there are a lot of complications in this.
11:22And in this,
11:23I think,
11:25some people were in a rush to get the credit,
11:28for this constitutional amendment.
11:30They tried to convince Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib,
11:34they tried to put pressure on him.
11:36They told the People's Party to do something else,
11:38they made the draft something else.
11:40And the biggest thing is that,
11:43they underestimated,
11:48not only Maulana Fazlur Rehman,
11:50but also underestimated the People's Party.
11:52And the two senators of Akhtar Mangal Sahib,
11:55they were also underestimated.
11:57Bhai Sahib, then tell me in the end,
11:59if the government is still trying this,
12:02then on one hand,
12:03there are rumours of an open movement,
12:05and on the other hand,
12:06every government wants to protect itself,
12:10and to make sure there is no danger from anywhere.
12:12Are they trying to put themselves in danger,
12:14by doing all this?
12:16Look,
12:18I am hearing these things in Islamabad,
12:22and the government that Faisal Wada Sahib,
12:25has called it,
12:26an incompetent and useless government,
12:28don't ignore that.
12:30It has a background.
12:32It has a background,
12:34that why they have said this.
12:36Because,
12:38Faisal Wada Sahib also thinks that,
12:40two days ago,
12:42the government was asked that,
12:44are you ready?
12:46Have you completed your numbers?
12:48So, it was said that,
12:50except for Anas Naula,
12:51everyone else has completed their numbers.
12:53So, in spite of this,
12:55it was not done,
12:58with proper thinking.
13:00And now, we are hearing a lot of things,
13:03that the credibility of this government has ended.
13:05Now, this government has only one way.
13:07Now, the People's Party,
13:09has put Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Sahib in front,
13:11that now you go and talk to Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman.
13:14So, now it is a matter of their credit,
13:16and their credibility,
13:18and their respect.
13:19And, whatever they want,
13:21they may not be able to do.
13:23But, they will definitely bring a draft,
13:25for face-saving,
13:27so that not only the People's Party is not satisfied,
13:29and Maulana Sahib is not satisfied,
13:31it is possible that they will try to convince the PTI as well.
13:33I don't know if the PTI is satisfied or not.
13:35But, Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman Sahib,
13:37and the People's Party,
13:39will be tried to convince,
13:41in which the government will also be face-saving.
13:43But, if this does not happen,
13:45then,
13:47what I am hearing,
13:49from within the government circles,
13:51some members of the cabinet,
13:53they seem worried.
13:55They want to say,
13:57that our future,
13:59our future is not looking bright.
14:01I don't know what is going to happen to us.
