00:00I was watching your column today, that Pakistan needs a new political party.
00:04So how long will your party be established?
00:09And are you waiting for a special time, for a special occasion to announce it?
00:17No, Maria, thank you.
00:19We are not waiting for a special occasion.
00:22We did not want to form a party before the elections.
00:26Because it takes time for a new party to be accepted.
00:30It takes time to convey our message.
00:33And we also felt that the elections would be very one-sided.
00:38Now that the elections have been held, and there is some time left in the next elections,
00:44we feel that we should bring a party,
00:47which will focus on the issues of Pakistan, which you have also talked about,
00:51whether they are economic issues or other issues.
00:55We are not focusing on these issues.
00:58There is a political problem in Pakistan.
01:00There is polarization.
01:02There are political palace intrigues.
01:05There is power politics.
01:07So we are not focusing on the real issues of Pakistan.
01:11And we feel that we need a political party, maybe more than one,
01:15which will come and talk about these issues in Pakistan.
01:19And we will find a solution to these issues.
01:22And then it is up to the people whether they vote for it or not.
01:24There is a place, but that is my question again.
01:26Do you have a timeline?
01:27Do you have to announce it in six months, three months, or mid-term?
01:31Have you decided on a name?
01:33Would you like to say something about the people who are joining?
01:39We had a meeting in Islamabad,
01:42in which there were some existing political leaders,
01:46such as Sardar Mehtab Abbasi, Javed Abbasi,
01:50Sikandar Ghosam, Zaheem Qadri,
01:56Humayun Kurd, Khwaja Muhammad Hoti,
02:02These people had a meeting in Balochistan and KP.
02:06Next week, Inshallah, we will have a meeting in Karachi, Sindh and Balochistan.
02:10Then maybe we will have a meeting in Quetta.
02:12And after that, our attempt is that,
02:14today we had a lot of meetings,
02:16there is also some discussion on the party's constitution.
02:18Because this party is not run by one leader,
02:21so it takes some time for discussion.
02:24Therefore, we think that, Inshallah,
02:26we will try to launch it by the first week of June.
02:30Have you decided on a name?
02:34We have talked about two or three names.
02:37I had promised that I would do a poll on Twitter,
02:40so I will do it.
02:41But now, Inshallah, these three names should be clear,
02:43if we have a meeting next week.
02:47So, Inshallah, we will do it.
02:49After that, Maria, you also know that,
02:52our name can be suggested.
02:54Finally, the election commission has to say yes.
02:57So, we are waiting for the permission of the election commission.
03:02Okay, tell me, the party has come,
03:04the leaders are also saying that they will meet.
03:06Where will the voters come from, Mr. Miftas?
03:08Because it is very interesting,
03:09as you said, it was a one-sided election in Pakistan.
03:11So, where is the voter whom your party will attract?
03:14The voter of PTI is still standing solidly with its leadership.
03:18The voter of PMLN is angry, he did not come out.
03:20The voter of People's Party also gets angry,
03:23he does not come out.
03:24So, is your voter somewhere in between them?
03:26Where is your voter?
03:32Look, at the moment,
03:332.6 crore children are not in school.
03:36Are their parents satisfied that their children are not educated?
03:41At the moment, 9 crore people are living under poverty,
03:44whose children sleep hungry at night.
03:46Are those 9 crore people satisfied with the economic policy of Pakistan?
03:50Are the children who do Matric, Inter and BA,
03:53who work from morning to evening,
03:55but cannot pay the electricity and gas bill,
03:58are they satisfied with their situation?
04:00If a boat going from Libya to Greece sinks,
04:04then half of the people are Pakistani.
04:06This means that the Pakistani citizens are restless.
04:08Our youth is restless today.
04:10So, if the political parties have satisfied their voters,
04:13then, Bismillah, keep voting for them.
04:15But if you feel that there is peace somewhere,
04:17that the parties are dictatorial,
04:19that they are inherited parties,
04:21that they do not understand the leaders,
04:23that they are not taking difficult decisions,
04:25that they are not taking big decisions,
04:27that a country is moving in the wrong direction,
04:29that apart from Afghanistan,
04:30all the countries in this region have gone ahead of us,
04:32Bangladesh has gone ahead of us,
04:34India has gone ahead of us,
04:35Sri Lanka has gone ahead of us,
04:37then, if you do not feel that the leaders of this country,
04:41the political leaders of this country,
04:43all the powerful leaders of this country,
04:45have made a mistake,
04:47if you feel that they have not made a mistake,
04:49then, okay, vote for them.
04:51Sir, but my question is a little...
04:52If you feel that in 10 years, in KP...
04:54My question was a little scientific,
04:56because it is all data-driven.
04:57Which age group,
04:58which socio-political background
05:00are you targeting?
05:02There is a targeted voter of PMLN,
05:04there is a targeted voter of PTA,
05:06where will that voter be?
05:07Will it be a disappointed voter from Nawaz Sharif or PMLN?
05:10Or will it be a silent voter from People's Party?
05:13Because we have just seen the voter of Tehreek-e-Isaf,
05:15that he is standing there.
05:20My sister, I would like to take a message
05:22to the Pakistanis,
05:24our Shahid Abbasi,
05:25me, Mustafa Nawaz,
05:26Mehtab sahib,
05:27our other friends,
05:29we have a lot of non-political leaders with us,
05:32professionals,
05:33Umair Allahwala sahib from Karachi,
05:35he is a businessman,
05:36Moiz Jafri sahib,
05:37he is a lawyer from Karachi,
05:38he has come with us,
05:39and our elder sisters have come,
05:40Beena Raza sahiba,
05:41she is from Lahore,
05:43she is the daughter of Raza Qadim sahib,
05:45she is joining us.
05:46So there are so many people
05:47who have no political affiliation.
05:48But they are joining us
05:49because they are worried
05:50about what is happening in Pakistan.
05:51Where are we going?
05:52Are we going to Afghanistan?
05:54Or is it best
05:55that we at least go to Bangladesh?
05:57So when the Pakistanis are worried,
05:58we will give a message
06:00that in this country,
06:01every Pakistani,
06:02whether he is the son of Mufti Ismail
06:04or the son or daughter
06:05of some other poor man,
06:07everyone should get a chance
06:08to move forward.
06:10Even if our lives are left,
06:12but our children should get a good education,
06:14our children should get food,
06:16our sisters should get health.
06:19In the country where 40% of women
06:21have iron deficiency,
06:24there is a lot of work.
06:25There we have to accept
06:27that the political leaders have failed,
06:29that 49% of people are below the poverty line.
06:33What are we talking about?
06:34Take any party.
06:36The PTI has been in power for 10 years.
06:38Has education improved in KP?
06:40The Muslim League has been in power
06:42for a long time in Punjab.
06:43Is education and health much better in Punjab?
06:46The People's Party has been in power
06:48for 20 years in Sindh.
06:49What can I say about them?
06:50Don't talk about
06:52which age group
06:54Mufti Ismail or Shahid Abbasi are going to.
