00:00 The present government will not delay the elections.
00:08 I think the biggest news for me in the last month is that I am happy and my family is happy that a very clear message is being conveyed to the election commission.
00:21 And your cats too.
00:22 My cats too, my wife too. We are all happy. I think that in the preamble of the Pakistan constitution, it is written that this country will run its elected representatives.
00:35 And after that clear message, I can tell you clearly that there are resources, security, and administrative assistance. We will make sure that the election commission will have the date of the elections and that no party has any complaint that they are being treated in any way.
01:01 As the Minister of Information, I assure you that we will give equal opportunities to all the media channels.
01:11 So, the level playing field will be available to everyone.
01:13 What do you mean by media? Will you give equal opportunities to all the media channels?
01:16 I am saying that all the media houses will get equal opportunities. No one will be treated in any way. It will not happen that a particular channel is more lenient towards us, so they get more benefits.
01:34 And those who adopt a relatively strict attitude, they will be treated in a way.
01:38 People's Party has many complaints about the level playing field. They hold a new press conference every day. You know that today also, the leader of Karachi held a press conference.
01:46 ANP is also talking about this. MQM is also a little skeptical that we should get that level playing field.
01:55 The basic responsibility of equal opportunities is of the election commission. Because they have control from behind.
02:05 You saw that they have destroyed the entire cabinet of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
02:09 If they get any kind of concerns or reservations, they call it a 'barmala'.
02:17 No, sir. As Khurshid Shah said, he said, basically, I also talked about this in my program yesterday.
02:21 I said that neither Fawad Singh Fawad nor Aad Cheema have fought for the Muslim League.
02:26 They basically say that this is the continuation of the federal government of the Muslim League.
02:31 This is Khurshid Shah, a very responsible politician, the leader of the Pakistan People's Party.
02:37 This has been said on his behalf. So, you tell us, what is your reaction to this allegation?
02:44 And second question, tell us how you like the lighting of the ARY?
02:48 Let's answer the last question first.
02:51 Because some people have a lot of objections.
02:52 A lot of objections.
02:53 That you go to the ARY again and again.
02:54 No, no, first ask about the lighting. Tell us about the lighting.
02:56 I will say this only. When I saw the lighting of the ARY, it was a great thing.
02:59 So, the praise for your lighting is not very wrong.
03:05 Look, I mentioned Fawad Hassan Fawad.
03:09 A little while ago, he was present with me in the press conference.
03:13 And he also answered this question.
03:15 That if he wanted to become the minister of the Noon League, Fawad Hassan Fawad,
03:21 then why would he take the ministry for 3-4 months, why not for 16-17 months?
03:25 If in 16-17 months, the Noon League was the government,
03:30 the prime minister was his.
03:32 Then, you must be aware that the reimagining of Pakistan exercise was going on in the last few days.
03:43 It is still going on.
03:44 It is still going on.
03:45 Mustafa Nawaz Sokhar is very active.
03:46 Fawad Hassan Fawad was present in that too.
03:48 And you all know that the people who had reservations from him, there were Noon League leaders too.
03:57 So, this is a strange thing.
03:59 Let's keep going.
04:01 It is like this, I was in the People's Party government for 5 years, DG Radio Pakistan.
04:06 So, today I am representing the People's Party.
04:08 Yes, Mr. Chaudhary Ghulamshahan, over to you, sir.
04:10 Sorry, you are in Islamabad, so we take a little advantage.
04:14 Is the forum open for you?
04:16 No, Mr. Murtaza Solangi is our old colleague.
04:20 His views are our own.
04:23 But, the first thing is that, especially the prime minister, Anwar ul Haqqaqar,
04:30 Sarfaraz Bugti, Mr. Solangi, the defence minister, General Retired Anwar Haider,
04:37 and many other ministers, no one is saying that they are party men or they are...
04:45 But, the problem is that there are 8-10 people like this.
04:52 I will not mention their names, whether they are former government officials,
04:57 or they have been in government offices because of a party.
05:02 Because of them, the influence of a minister of the prime minister's cabinet has not been established.
05:10 Number one.
05:11 Number two, a small question.
05:13 Only one party is targeted, and the one who is exposed.
05:17 As per his habit, Mr. Solangi has not played any partisan role yet.
05:26 And if he remains on this, he will add more to his card.
05:30 Number two.
05:31 Number three.
05:33 What is your obligation to include the tainted people who have been subjected to corruption,
05:41 and are now being subjected to prosecution?
05:46 Is there any special obligation?
05:49 Yes, I will talk to Mr. Fawad.
05:51 The thing is that...
05:53 No, I have already said.
05:54 Okay.
05:55 There are many accusations.
05:57 And the people who are going through a judicial process,
06:04 there are also accusations against them.
06:06 But we will not declare them guilty until the court of law does not declare them guilty.
06:16 The people who have been accused, many of them have been released after years of imprisonment.
06:29 So if someone is accused, and the accusation is not proven,
06:35 then we should apologize to those people.
06:39 Absolutely right.
06:40 Innocent until proven guilty.
06:41 This is what our law says.
06:42 But I want to say something, Mr. Chaudhary is our senior.
06:47 I assure you that since I took office on 17 August,
06:52 I have not spoken against any political party or its leadership.
06:58 And God willing, I will not speak against them until the last day.
