00:00Senator, on one hand, there is a meeting of the National Security Committee, and on the other hand, there is a meeting of the National Security Committee.
00:04Pakistan does not know about the Justice Movement.
00:06I am a witness to the fact that this decision was made in the PTI, or the Movement for the Protection of the Mirror of Pakistan,
00:13that we will go, we will give our opinion, we will ask questions, and we will get answers to the questions, and we will proceed with the discussion accordingly.
00:20Then, I don't know what happened, and the matter changed, it was a complete change, and this decision was made in the morning that we are not going.
00:27Late at night, before dawn, this decision was made that we will not go.
00:32Now, Maulana Sahib is also saying that it was very difficult for us to change the decision at that time.
00:37Senator, when were you told, when was the JUI told that we will not go to the National Security Committee meeting?
00:44Look, we were sitting late at night, Maulana Sahib had called all the MNAs and Senators who were available in Islamabad,
00:53and after consulting them, this decision was made.
00:56By that time, the PTI had informed us that 14-15 people had to go.
01:01So, at that time, it was decided that we will go and participate.
01:08We will keep all our reservations, but we will go, we will participate.
01:12The other political parties of the opposition are also going, so we will also participate.
01:17And when it was 11 o'clock in the morning, Maulana Sahib said that we will meet at my house in the morning and then we will leave from here.
01:26So, we came around 10.30-11.45, and at that time we found out that the PTI had said that we did not want to go.
01:35Now, we were left with no choice.
01:37They were saying that we had to go at night, and now they are saying that we do not want to go.
01:42Sir, I am sorry, I am cutting you short.
01:46How long did you decide that you will meet late at night?
01:51At what time did you decide that you will meet late at night?
01:54We were sitting around 1.30-1.30, and there was no by-cut at 1.30-1.30.
02:00We woke up at 1.30-1.30 after deciding and praying that Allah will improve this decision.
02:10After that, when we came in the morning, the matter was reversed.
02:15We had to go anyway because we had already decided.
02:18We then went according to our decision, and they did not take that decision further.
02:23We complained to them at Mustafa Nawaz Koker's house for iftar and dinner.
02:29We said that this is not the way.
02:31What answer did the senator receive from there?
02:34There was no specific answer.
02:39There was no answer that appealed to us.
02:43So, for example, hypothetically speaking, if the PTI and their allies had decided not to go,
02:52would your Jama'at have also decided not to go?
02:57No, it is not necessary.
02:59But there is a factor in which a person thinks that they are not going either.
03:06It will not happen later that they start the operation and blame us for participating.
03:13We had to think about all that and then do it.
03:17My personal opinion at that time was that we should not go and we will protest, but we will go there and protest.
03:24No matter what the effect of this is, it was my personal opinion.
03:28But at that time, this opinion could have been changed.
03:30If you say that all the parties are not going, the opposition and we are going in the middle,
03:35then don't blame us for this later.
03:37Okay.
03:38Mr. Sen, now the problem is that on the one hand you were told,
03:41at 1 or 1.30 a.m. you wake up praying,
03:43to go to the meeting of the National Security Committee,
03:46you make preparations, prepare questions,
03:49obviously there is a complete discussion.
03:50On the other hand, in the morning you find out that you do not want to go.
03:53In PTI and JUI, there was an impression that closeness is coming.
03:57There is still a lot of communication gap.
04:00There is a lot of gap in the thought process.
04:03So where are the chances of becoming united in this?
04:07Despite the fact that we have progressed a lot,
04:10but we have kept this complaint even that day,
04:12on Mustafa Nawaz Koker's story.
04:15We said, what is this method?
04:18Please explain this method to us.
04:20How does this happen?
04:22On the 26th Amendment, we take you with us,
04:25we keep you engaged, we trust you in everything.
04:28Later you say that we do not know anything,
04:31we did not come anywhere in the middle.
04:33A committee is formed that we have to make decisions together.
04:37After that, the committee is dismissed without any announcement.
04:42And you say at night that you have to go,
04:45in the morning you say that you do not want to go.
04:47Our decisions, then we do whatever is good or bad.
04:51If the decision is made after consultation,
04:54then we agree to it.
04:56Then our decision does not change,
04:58that God forbid, something big happens.
05:00This is not how we make decisions.
