00:00Ladies and gentlemen, today we have the verdict of the case for which there was a delay for a long time.
00:07In the case of £190 million, Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were sentenced.
00:13Imran Khan was sentenced for 14 years and Bushra Bibi was sentenced for 7 years.
00:17Along with that, Imran Khan was fined 10 lakhs and Bushra Bibi was fined 5 lakhs.
00:24There was a delay for a long time for the verdict.
00:27Last Monday passed by, but the verdict did not come.
00:31Today, when the verdict came, there were different reactions.
00:35And in those different reactions, what was the reaction of the government regarding this case?
00:39First of all, let's listen to that.
00:41Tariq-e-Insaaf had the right to give evidence in his defense.
00:45He should have gone as a witness of clarification.
00:48His not going is also a presumption that he had nothing to say.
00:52Now he has the right to file an appeal.
00:54There are timelines.
00:56The policy of first in, first out should be the same in these cases.
01:00You have failed to prove your innocence.
01:03It was an open and shut case from day one.
01:05After today, someone will think a hundred times while doing such mega corruption in Pakistan.
01:09This was not the trust of EDI, it was not the trust of CHIPA.
01:12The black money was taken for bribery.
01:14It was made to hide it to widen it.
01:16The appeal said that he has the right, but the case will have to be fought legally.
01:19It is the decision of the state, whether it is 9th May, 26th November,
01:22whether it is rebellion or corruption, there is no excuse for this.
01:25It is the decision of a case of 190 million pounds.
01:28Not only has theft been proven on himself,
01:30but it is the first prime minister of history who was caught red-handed while taking bribe.
01:38Now the interesting thing is that in the decision of this case,
01:40Tassab Atalat, who was present in Adiala jail,
01:42he has also given Al-Qadir Trust in the hands of the Ummah.
01:46He has clearly said in this decision, in the written ruling,
01:49that Wukla-e-Safai, who could not deny the testimonies of the indictment,
01:53the case of the indictment was based on forged testimonies,
01:56which were proven to be correct.
01:58He has also said very clearly that the evidence, the testimonies,
02:02which were presented in the defense of the accused,
02:05the forged testimonies were also false at this time.
02:08That is, the whole case, which was from the prosecution,
02:11was strong, but it cannot be defended by the defense.
02:14And in this regard, in the case of £190 million,
02:17Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were sentenced.
02:20The reaction of the government that you have just seen,
02:23this is in front of you, but along with that,
02:25Maryam Nawaz Sharif Sahiba has also given a very interesting statement about Al-Qadir Trust,
02:28which I will tell you later.
02:29But before that, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has made it clear
02:33that in this case, we will now move towards more courts for legal settlement.
02:40We could see it written on the wall,
02:42neither Khan Sahib is disappointed, nor are we disappointed.
02:45Within a few days, we will file an appeal in the High Court.
02:48With confidence, God willing, Khan Sahib will be satisfied.
02:52We condemn today's decision.
02:55Today, there is a black box on top for the entire case.
02:59We will take full legal action against it.
03:04Today, we condemn this.
03:07We condemn it.
03:08We will challenge it in the Superior Court.
03:11The thieves are roaming outside.
03:13This is Al-Qadir University,
03:14in which neither the government suffered a lot,
03:17nor did Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi benefit from a single penny.
03:20Today, Imran Khan will be targeted politically.
03:25We will go everywhere against this decision.
03:27We will also present charges against him all over the world.
03:31You have heard Faisal Chaudhary's statement about going all over the world.
03:36This is very important.
03:37Before this, Aleema Khan has already announced that
03:42Pakistan will definitely go towards international institutions,
03:45which are institutions of human rights.
03:48Politically, the PTI government was accused of putting up a wall,
03:55but the government says that this is a political act,
03:59about which the PTI was being warned by the government.
04:06Whether this is a political act or a political victimization,
04:10at this time, everything converges.
04:13In the end, the negotiations that are being held in Pakistan
04:17to improve political instability,
04:21will they be affected or not?
04:24Khawaja Asif has this statement.
04:27There is no issue with the executive order.
04:29There is a demand in the negotiations that the prisoner should be released under the executive order.
04:34But this will not happen.
04:35The courts have given a punishment.
04:36The courts can give them relief.
04:38Someone should tell them that I have forbidden them from negotiating.
04:41I am the biggest supporter of political negotiations.
04:44I repeatedly say that this negotiation should be spread.
04:47Once all the prisoners are released.
04:52Now this situation is in front of us.
04:54And it is certainly a tense situation.
04:56On one hand, negotiations.
04:57On the other hand, decisions.
04:58On the third hand, the demand to solve all the matters of Imran Khan Sahib from the executive order.
05:04At what point or what twist will this camel sit?
05:07This question is certainly a tongue twister.
05:10What is the Pakistan Movement for Justice looking for the answer to this question?
05:14Sheikh Waqas Akram is present with us.
05:16He is the Secretary-General of Pakistan Movement for Justice.
05:18Thank you very much Sheikh Sahib for joining us.
05:19It is a pleasure having you.
