00:00Let's come to today's topic. Is the PTI's decision correct under the prevalent circumstances
00:08that there should not be a parliamentary committee or an investigating committee,
00:12and commission or no, either commission or nothing? What do you think?
00:17Look, Mr. Malik, I look at all the talks from two angles.
00:22The first angle is that the political crisis that has started in our country for the past one decade,
00:27and especially the crisis that has deepened in the last 3-4 years,
00:32the entire value of that has been paid by the people of Pakistan.
00:36Look, my brother, no matter how much you sit and praise the AFC,
00:40praise the hybrid system, the data is saying something else.
00:44Today, if there are 2.8 crore children in Pakistan who are out of school,
00:49then it is because of this political crisis that a hybrid was invented,
00:53that today in this country we don't know who will govern, who will be responsible, and who will answer.
00:59If there was any improvement in those numbers, then we would have listened to them.
01:03Two weeks ago, the World Bank reported that in the last financial year,
01:101.5 crore Pakistanis have gone below the poverty line.
01:1340% Pakistanis were already forced to live below the poverty line.
01:17So from 7.5 crore to 8 crore, now the figure has gone to 10 crore.
01:21Today, if 50% Pakistanis are living below the poverty line,
01:26then it means that they are not able to eat two meals a day.
01:30They are not able to send their children to school.
01:33You have given a shock to their lives in this political crisis of the last 8-10 years.
01:38And how did that political crisis begin?
01:41That political crisis began because we did not want to listen to people's decisions.
01:45We decided in closed rooms and put pressure on people,
01:49whether it was Mian Nawaz Sharif's decision or Imran Khan's decision.
01:53It is the power of the people of Pakistan to bring them to power and take them out of power.
01:58You hold a victim card in people's hands.
02:02You create distortions in politics.
02:05My brother was praising Ayub Khan.
02:08Of course, he must have reasons to praise him.
02:11And maybe there are some more.
02:13But tell me, was it right to call the sister of the founder of Pakistan a traitor?
02:18Was it right to call thousands of workers of Tehreek-e-Pakistan as abdo?
02:22Was it right to call those who contributed to the creation of Pakistan?
02:25This debate will go on for a while.
02:27But it is important to answer these questions, isn't it?
02:30I am asking this question of 76 years.
02:32I am asking this question of 76 years.
02:35I am asking this question of 76 years.
02:37Is PTI committed another political mistake?
02:40I am asking this question of 76 years.
02:43I am asking this question of 76 years.
03:14So did they do the right thing or the wrong thing?
03:25Today you broke one thing, Mr. Khokhar.
03:27He is a democratic from the top and he is wearing boots from the bottom.
03:30So I am listening to you very seriously.
03:32Sir, it is a civilian boot.
03:34Thank you very much.
03:36So the point is, if we want to fix this country,
03:40believe me Mr. Malik,
03:42we will have to end the journey of 76 years first.
03:45And what is that journey of 76 years,
03:47that we sit in closed rooms and decide...
03:49So you think they should have sat down?
03:51Look, I think they should have sat on a larger agenda.
03:54They should have sat there and made a larger agenda.
03:56And look, the demands that were there,
03:59the committees that sat down earlier,
04:01they probably had two big demands.
04:03One was the demand of the Judicial Commission.
04:05And the second demand was...
04:06The Abulanga Parliamentary Committee.
04:08Should PTI have accepted that or not?
04:38Should they have accepted the offer?
04:40Or did they say, no, we don't want to talk.
04:43R-Way or the highway? That is the question.
