00:00I would like to continue with the last sentence of your speech.
00:05Unity is very important right now.
00:09Because we should have only one goal.
00:12The whole party should have one goal.
00:15And that is how we are going to get our Supreme Leader out.
00:23How we are going to fight a legal war, a political war,
00:28how we are going to open the doors of negotiations.
00:31How we are going to achieve our target, our objective.
00:36So I think the most important thing for that is unity.
00:40And you are right.
00:42I cannot deny that there are different groups.
00:50But I don't think these groups are of Bushra Bibi or Leema Bibi.
00:57These are internal groups of different types.
01:02Some groups have their own option, their own strategy.
01:09So this group-building happens in every political party.
01:13This is not something that is only in PTI.
01:17The only issue is that the different groups of PTI have different opinions.
01:22They want to move forward with their opinions according to their groups.
01:26Because PTI's scrutiny is increasing in the media,
01:31the media is looking at every step of it.
01:34That's why it comes out after a lot of jumping.
01:37But in reality, this is in every party.
01:40And I think this is a political party because it is a democratic party.
01:43So such groups are formed in it.
01:46It is not possible for everyone to have the same strategy,
01:54to have the same opinion on every point.
01:58There can be different opinions.
02:00For example, I have a very different opinion on a lot of issues.
02:04I don't have a group, but I do express my opinion.
02:09Similarly, there are other people who express their opinions.
02:14If 10 people express one opinion, then it is called a group.
02:18So I think this is a little exaggeration.
02:21There are definitely complications in between.
02:23I'm sorry, I'm cutting you short.
02:25It is true that PTI is becoming an adornment of news at this time.
02:29But maybe PTI is giving it an opportunity.
02:33Like the PMLN's Iqtiyar Wali said something against his party, Khayyadat.
02:38So that was also as much on the news as PTI's statement.
02:42So such statements are coming continuously against each other.
02:46On the weekend before Eid, an inquiry was started on Taimur Jhagra,
02:52who was a finance minister at one time.
02:54The chances of him becoming CM or KP were very strong.
02:58If he had won, he would have become a parliamentarian.
03:03So this opportunity for the media to comment on PTI,
03:07is something that PTI's leaders themselves are repeatedly giving away.
03:11There are a lot of truths in what you are saying.
03:18We have also seen this.
03:20But I don't think, I will give you my personal opinion.
03:25I don't think that the party really cares about all these issues or fights.
03:34Because ultimately, when a policy comes from the center,
03:44that is, directly from Imran Khan, then there is no debate on it.
03:50So the issue that is happening today, which you have also commented on many times,
03:57is that the people who are able to reach Imran Khan,
04:02have been put under a lot of pressure.
04:05It is very difficult to meet people, especially our political habits of different people.
04:11So if they don't get direct access there, then there is a little confusion.
04:18One of the reasons for this confusion is that there is no meeting there.
04:28Jail authorities are not letting us meet.
04:31We are trying to meet them legally.
04:34But right now, the situation is that it is very difficult.
04:37You can see that the cases where they used to meet, are also being adjourned.
04:43They are not being presented.
04:46So Senator, with this gap, the protest that was supposed to take place after Eid,
04:53in which a committee has been made,
04:56in which Sahibzada Hamid Raza has been made the head,
04:59that you will decide the next step.
05:01How will she decide the next step when she is not able to meet Imran Khan appropriately or regularly?
05:07And how can it be believed that the committee or the leaders who decide,
05:12the workers will also believe that the right decision has been taken on behalf of Imran Khan or not?
05:17Because last time, in November, we saw a big gap between the workers and the leaders.
05:23This is also a fact that the gap is increasing.
05:33But I think if a task has been given,
05:37that you have to do this,
05:41then whoever has been given the task, they should take action on it,
05:45and act, and take the party forward.
05:49If there is confusion there, then there will be confusion among the workers too,
05:52then they will be worried,
05:54and this strategy will not be strategically correct.
05:59So I think if you have to make such a decision,
06:02this decision should be made immediately.
06:04Because Mr. Khan knew that the meetings will be stopped,
06:09and that is why he has given different tasks to different people,
06:13that even if you are not present,
06:16you should implement what I have just said,
06:19and act on it.
06:21So whoever has been given the task,
06:23as far as I know, they are doing their job,
06:27and if someone is not doing it,
06:29then I think the workers will not forgive him.
