00:00Mr. Sharmila, starting from you, on one hand, we will not break the unity, and we will maintain
00:09the unity.
00:10At this time, Pakistan needs unity for stability.
00:13These statements are seen.
00:15On the other hand, these statements are also heard that there was no doubt about Sadr sahib.
00:21He signs.
00:22Where are the mirrors in Pakistan?
00:24So Sadr sahib is a very seasoned politician, very seasoned person himself.
00:30When he must have signed, Mr. Sharmila, he must not have done this, right?
00:34Thank you, Aniga.
00:38Look, any project, any kind of project, any kind of plan, cannot be approved by Sadr sahib's sign, right?
00:51Because he is not the executive head of the government.
00:54He is the constitutional head.
00:56He is the symbol of loyalty.
00:57Yes, he can get briefings.
00:59He can take a briefing on different issues, on different matters.
01:03He can also give his opinion.
01:05But it is not possible, legally and legally, that he agrees to any plan or not.
01:13It's not possible.
01:14It's not possible.
01:15Because the entire government, the executive, runs under the cabinet of the Prime Minister.
01:22Even this plan has to be approved by the ACNIC.
01:25Sadr sahib does not have to approve it.
01:28Now, to drag Sadr sahib into everything, to bring him into everything, this is actually politics.
01:34The thing is, it is a very ordinary question of mine, which we have been asking for many months.
01:42Sindh raised an objection to this plan.
01:45And Sindh's demand is that you call a meeting of the Council of Common Interest.
01:50And there should be deliberations within it.
01:53You decide within it whether the plan should be implemented or not.
01:57We will fight our case there.
01:59Today is the 14th month.
02:01There should be a CCI meeting every 90 days on a regular basis.
02:06What is the compulsion, what is the violation, what is the obstruction that the Prime Minister has not been able to call a CCI meeting?
02:13When such a big issue has been raised, the entire Sindh has raised an objection.
02:18Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari sahib is talking about it.
02:22When the parliamentary year started, Sadr Zardari sahib said very clearly that
02:29as a constitutional head of the government, I cannot support this plan.
02:36So that's an important point.
02:37And these unilateral decisions are weakening Wafaaq.
02:40I don't want to hear anything after this.
02:42Give me a clarification, why did we have to talk about this at the beginning of the parliamentary year?
02:48This has been going on for a year now.
02:52Why wasn't it said from that time itself that this press release was wrong?
02:57Or it is being misconstrued in a different way.
03:01This is basically not permission.
03:03Why is this happening now?
03:05Because now you have heard what Azma Bukhari said.
03:07She is insisting that the budget is also going to come.
03:13Again, everything is based on false statements.
03:16The point is that why was it clarified now?
03:19Or why was it discussed?
03:21Because now the parliamentary year of the National Assembly has started.
03:25And Sadr Zardari sahib, at the beginning of every parliamentary year,
03:29gives a direction to the government.
03:32Which he thinks the government should work on,
03:35which things should not be done,
03:37which things should be considered,
03:39which things should be paid attention to.
03:41So that's why this came up now.
03:43Before that, this was not an issue at all.
03:46Because Sadr Zardari sahib has never approved it.
03:49He is not in power.
03:51He takes briefings on a lot of things in his routine as Sadr-e-Mumlaqat.
03:56He also takes briefings on security situations.
03:58He also went to Balochistan.
04:00But this does not mean that if he took a security briefing,
04:03he made a decision.
04:05He said, go and do this work.
04:07Or hold this or leave that.
04:09So this logic will be taken towards Afnan sahib.
04:11No, no.
04:12Look, the point is this.
04:14And Sadr Zardari sahib's job is not at all
04:16to publish a press release on every news item or every news item.
04:22This is also not his job.
04:24When something has been said very clearly,
04:26we are fighting that this matter should not be taken to ACNIC
04:30and ACNIC should not approve it.
04:32We are fighting on this.
04:34Without approving it, when you have launched it in Punjab,
04:37then this is a strange thing.
04:39I will come back to you on that.
04:41And when the whole Sindh is on it,
04:45then what is the problem that the Prime Minister is not calling for a CCI meeting?
