"Mujhe yeh log dobara aate nazar nahi arahay..," Lala Asad Pathan lashes out at PML-N government
Transcript
00:00 If we look at this whole issue, I wanted to ask a question.
00:06 Why did they think that this is a big issue and it should be solved?
00:14 Misinformation and disinformation.
00:16 If someone accuses you of disinformation,
00:20 you suffer, you go through the Pemra, you suffer, how will you be able to do anything?
00:28 If you tell me that the truth has been able to stop somewhere,
00:34 it comes out in this way or that way.
00:38 If you stop it directly, then the result is that it is many times false and deceitful,
00:45 fraud and cheating and by including that, such a malguba is published outside.
00:52 Then it comes from there, it travels from here to there.
00:55 So you get stuck in such a circle that there is only one way to give the truth to the unbridled, unbiased.
01:07 Our contact with Lala Asad Pathan has been resolved.
01:09 Okay, Lala Asad, tell me that the law has been passed by the National Assembly.
01:14 Obviously, they have the majority in the Senate, so they will get it done from there too.
01:18 So what is your approach now?
01:20 Have you sent any message, are you going to make any call?
01:25 Why are you doing good with us while going?
01:29 May Allah make you elect the people again, come again, let's do it again after two or three months.
01:34 Because you are giving the same message to people that we are just coming,
01:37 elections are taking place in the next two or three months because there is no obstruction in front of us.
01:41 Therefore, you are giving the same message to all the bureaucrats who are working with them,
01:46 that we are coming back.
01:49 So what is the hurry?
01:51 Lala Asad, forgive me, I also want to add something.
01:56 You are a brave journalist, you are showing a very good attitude.
02:04 Whenever you have been on any channel, on any newspaper, on any media,
02:10 whenever there is a problem, you have faced it, you and your colleagues have shared it,
02:17 Abdul, Rana Azim and all of them, I don't remember their names, but we respect all of them.
02:23 Today, they have passed a bill to close the borders of Saafat and Azhar,
02:30 in the darkness of the night, who is responsible for stopping this?
02:37 Mr. Chaudhary, stopping this is the job of the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists,
02:42 stopping this is the job of the Pakistan Jyot journalists,
02:44 stopping this is your and my job,
02:46 because we work in these institutions, these institutions are bound to convey the truth to the public.
02:51 If we make such black laws and stop us from speaking the truth,
02:56 our roads will be blocked, our borders will be closed,
02:59 we will knock on the doors of all the institutions in Pakistan.
03:03 We are taking Bukla on board, we will go to the courts.
03:08 Stop giving false and false news.
03:12 Secondly, I would like to answer Mr. Khawar's question,
03:18 Mr. Khawar, this is their thoughtlessness,
03:20 they are making such decisions in the dark,
03:22 and they think that they will come back to power,
03:25 I don't see them coming back to power.
03:27 The people who have always been the throat of the media,
03:30 have implemented such black laws,
03:33 they have been humiliated and disgraced in this society.
03:36 And God willing, this will also happen if they try to suppress the media in this way.
03:40 What is the purpose of suppressing the media?
03:42 That is, the truth should not reach the public,
03:44 the real issues of Pakistan should not reach the public,
03:47 the corruption and other affairs that they have committed should not reach the public,
03:53 and the media should remain silent, the media should become PTV2,
03:56 and become a government institution and only do their propaganda and propaganda,
04:00 this cannot happen.
04:02 The media is free in Pakistan,
04:04 we have not taken freedom from them in any way,
04:08 we have taken it by fighting,
04:10 from Minaj Banda to today, the journalist of Pakistan has been on the streets,
04:13 he has been beaten, he has been to jail,
04:15 he has been under strict control, and even today,
04:17 many of our colleagues are under strict control.
04:19 We are not afraid of jails and these beatings,
04:21 we will not allow our freedom to be violated in any way.
04:23 Mr. Asad, we hope that PFUJ will take action on this issue very soon,
04:27 and will adopt any method,
04:29 because they have just passed the National Assembly,
04:31 after that it will go to the Senate,
04:33 and I think there will be some intervention in between.
04:36 Lala Asad, thank you very much for giving time.
04:39 One more law that has been passed yesterday,
04:42 see, the good or bad of any law is only known when it is put in front of the House,
04:48 it is discussed, and then feedback is taken on it.
04:52 Meaning, 342 people are present in the House,
04:58 and they have not been taught, nor has anyone read,
05:02 "Ok, taken as read, taken as read, taken as read, pass, pass, pass, pass."
05:08 Such cases are going on.
05:10 How many laws have they passed in the 80s and 90s?
05:12 100, 100 different laws,
05:14 about 100 different laws,
05:16 regarding Pemra, regarding the airport.
05:19 I say, has any government stopped with such restrictions?
05:23 One, can you stop the truth?
05:26 Two, has water come to the rivers?
05:29 Stop it, make it stop.
05:31 It cannot stop.
05:33 They are in a very wrong understanding.
05:35 You say, we went and came,
05:38 Lala Asad is saying that they cannot come,
05:42 and I say, if they go, people will hate Shukran.
05:47 I don't think their intentions and actions are to go.
05:52 Like, what is this?
05:54 Tomorrow, 12 people will be sitting,
05:56 and they will say, "The National Assembly is extended for a year."
05:59 And then, they will go and celebrate their victory.
06:03 And then they will leave.
06:05 What has happened to you?
06:07 But there is a possibility, because,
06:09 regarding K.P. and Punjab's elections,
06:11 the constitution is very clear,
06:13 the Supreme Court's orders are very clear,
06:15 and the people are not going to go.
06:17 The government employees who want to,
06:19 are being promoted by the corrupt officials.
06:21 Those who want to, are retired,
06:23 those who used to collect commissions from here and there,
06:26 in the National Assembly,
06:28 are being put in big offices.
06:30 If they are doing one thing right,
06:33 then I say,
06:35 and you are also drinking your own water.
06:37 You are not talking about Mr. Tariq,
06:39 that you want to talk about something.
