00:00 Pakistan People's Party's leader, Qamar Zaman Qara, is here to talk about this.
00:05 Qamar sir, thank you very much for giving time to the ARY.
00:08 The election commission has issued an announcement
00:11 and it has been said that elections will be held in the last week of January.
00:16 How do you see this?
00:18 Look, I cannot give an official version of the Jamaat on this,
00:24 because I have not had much consultation with the Jamaat.
00:28 But the Pakistan People's Party has a position of holding elections in the 90 days.
00:36 It is a right position and we are standing with it.
00:41 We also had a feeling that the situation in the 90 days is getting difficult.
00:50 The chairman had demanded that the date of the elections be given.
00:56 The election commission has shortened the process of the elections.
01:01 And the date given will improve the general uncertainty.
01:10 But this is my personal opinion.
01:13 The party's position will be given after the leadership's consultation.
01:17 But Qara sir, the People's Party has always demanded a level playing field.
01:23 Now, the election commission has given a date for the elections.
01:28 Do you think that the People's Party has fulfilled the demand for a level playing field?
01:32 It has nothing to do with this.
01:35 This is an issue of art and art is an issue of art.
01:38 Both cannot be joined together.
01:41 For that, the government...
01:43 Qara sir, I would like to apologize for the interruption.
01:45 A while ago, Syed Ghani was present in a speech.
01:48 He was saying that when we say that we should get a level playing field,
01:53 it does not mean that we should appoint a minister or an officer of our choice.
01:57 It means that the elections should be made sure as soon as possible, free and fair.
02:02 Syed Ghani sir must know why he said this.
02:06 He must have some basis for what he said.
02:09 I am sure he has it.
02:10 I think the Central Electoral Committee has released Mr. Jatari from his custody.
02:17 He has taken the time to talk to concerned parties,
02:21 to the people, to the institutions, to address the concerns of the People's Party.
02:30 Until we get a final reply, we will not comment on the answer to this question.
02:38 Qara sir, one more thing.
02:43 The last week of January has been given for the elections.
02:47 Do you think the climate and atmosphere will be favourable for the elections?
02:51 Because in KPK, there are many areas where it snows.
02:55 Look, in some areas, it snows in winters.
03:00 In some areas, it is 50 degrees in summers.
03:04 This is not within the ideal climate.
03:09 This will give some advantage or disadvantage to some areas.
03:14 We have to meet the national requirements.
03:19 But I can give a final version of this after consulting with my party.
03:24 Okay, Qara sir, please do this.
03:28 Thank you.
03:29 Okay, Qamar Zaman Qara sir was with us.
03:32 He was taking care of the situation.
