3:35 am
opposition? this impetus of trying to oust iran contra me in the foreign conspiracy. and what opposition and be say is that that's a joke and not be carried on. there's only one decision that there is a constitutional, no confidence in the parliament against, against the prime minister, according to the democratic norms and rules and gone. the only only thing that iran has to face today is that no one, no confidence would tend to be ousted by both my democracy in boxes, despite the opposition benches insisting the government is holding its fort. it's saying that this is an issue with the opposition, told the court that it dot did not debated, did not get a chance to debate the vote on the floor of the house. and here are our government empties, giving them a chance to rave their opinions and discuss it. why emron, hon needs to go and narrative that we didn't allow that to happen. they didn't want to meet. they want to like, what does it mean? theater is the following. the supreme court current case,
3:36 am

3:38 am
london. and in washington, d. c. foreigners is bonnie wrighter and former member of the national assembly of pakistan. a warm welcome to you all. thanks so much for joining us today on inside story. sorry, let me start with you today. just how volatile is the political situation in pakistan right now. thank you for having me right now. these are, you know, political activities going on in caucus at present. you know, the boat of new confidence, our prime minister is facing by a prime minister of pakistan on a, you know, just it, president of pakistan. he does all the national assembly, but back to, you know, decision as another one, but it's been called pakistan yesterday. and today they are facing fidgets and you're looking for what, how it's going to work out what i,
3:39 am
on the fact section ground. we can see that the opposition is having a, you know, decide the number of who i need to know about farmers or how long has the time been turning against them. ron con. well, most of us who consider those democrats would see right from the beginning. we consider mister han not to be elected prime minister som, you've always been referred to as a selective prime minister by phone because he was brought in by the aid of the military establish lunch. but however, the opposition parties have for the sake of democracy,
3:40 am
played ball the remainder of the game. and where we are today is literally just democracy work. the former prime minister didn't have the he tried to violate the constitution. it went to the supreme court and of the supreme court declared that mister han actions were unconstitutional and demanded that a vote of no confidence be carried out in parliament. and that is what we are watching right now. i should how much tension is there right now? between enron con, and the military. see, there are no clear answers to your question, but if i could just add one more piece of information, what we've seen this morning and you know, it's, it's this whole game of no conference motion. it is a prime minister and the way around government is trying to stop it,
3:41 am
delay postpone the action or postpone the inevitable, you know, in, in it against, against its government. is you know, right now they're filibustering the filibustering in the parliament and try to delay on the surface of it. we see that there is a tension between military and america on which is the reason he know that they seem to have agreed to play the role of neutral and politics where they didn't do with they hadn't done in 2018 elections. but, you know, when i look at it, there is a very uncomfortable feeling. i mean, don't ask me for evidence, but there is an uncomfortable feeling that the elements within the military within which continue to support on. and the reason i say that no evidence, because you can't produce such evidence, but when we compare the way on, you know, which are, you know, apparently the army chief no longer a supports him,
3:42 am
a support supports his actions. but in case of previous governments lost faith with the military or who had had, you know, we had a dense relationship with the military, we were treated much worse. i mean, there would be so much propaganda against them. compare it with what con, assessing at the moment. there's hardly any propaganda. it's against him, a few stories here and there of possible corruption involvement in the garage and his wife's for the 1st lady, his involvement in corruptions, but nothing really as substantial as what nevaeh sharif faced all or other people's party government in face. which makes me imagine or think that perhaps there is still some support within the military. definitely. he was
3:43 am
a popular candidate with the military, ideologically, they couldn't have been more aligned with any political leader than they are with him round. hm. sarah, i wanna take a step back and look at the economic situation right now and focus on on thursday. the pakistani rupee fell to an all time low against the u. s. dollar, but on friday markets open on a positive note because there was this hope that the political crisis might be ending soon. how much worse could the economic situation get in pakistan if this political crisis is not resolved soon? actually because see, dad, that's all because of the current political disturbances actually when the last girl, me, when the pockets on the spacing you know, or to them, why not at that time on? sure. but right now it has just emerge and opposition has to be
3:44 am
a strict stance. we have this one boy lation. there is, you know, prices are models. you know, we can see that a local net for prices on lease and everything that we can feed back to daily. you know, these are very expensive, but we're coming back to that form. but it is going to be like the scene because when they come to the passage of time needs or fever, economic plans, i don't mean because it's only a little disturbance i meet again and we'll get to that. why? so we are looking forward for this move functioning good means and we are looking forward for the election at because we need to look at them at no
3:45 am
cost. or we can see that the boxes on the space, you know, at the store, i will go disturbances for the free private box or even to didn't leave for us. i'm not even 5 years in which we can see the use of is that delani and i was sure even 2032017. and now we just completed you know, the same pattern is being, you know, is demanded a d d the last night that the dots, your parties just now, you know, in a book together and just, you know, and make a smooth path for your upcoming elections. so it seems like that we're looking at the, to print a atmosphere the political atmosphere, and then the early elections are going to be in brightest star adding. so that is going to be the me a solution or the crisis plan to do. or i'm sorry, in a row,
3:46 am
now i'm sorry, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but you bring up the topic of, of potentially early elections. and i do want to ask foreigners about that as far as what's the earliest that elections could happen going forward? well, i speak to reason why it's been wrong, fun has done the last piece. dramatic. if he wants the election, he wants to be seen as the mob out of office. and then he expects that his followers will turn up and both turn into office again. but what i am reading at the moment is if he continues down this boss, all ignoring the supreme court, you know, ruling and behaving in this undergraduate autocratic way. i think we may end up with some kind of
3:47 am
a graphic government that me remains for much longer because let's be honest, what she has done to the economy of like fund i was recently a bike spawn. i have never seen the cost of living and the cost of people who are not sitting in the capital of the 70 people who are living in could actually an interior of the sector. it has, if it's quite rendered, it is terrifying what he has done to bike fund foreign policy. the u. s. has been a biggest it gave. now he's a jews the us of the conspiracy. terry of trying to remove him from office, which nobody has seen. he has created a political template matching economic crisis like
3:48 am
a voice we have never seen. so you asked me about elections if he continues down this up. he doesn't accept the ruling of the supreme court today allows the opposition. you know, a doctor, sorry. i just said so incorrect and many people don't realize this sparked some is not a presidential system in a parliamentary democracy. the minute the opposition as the numbers they can topple any government. it happened in the u. k. it happened anyway. that's what a little to no consequences, but to not government comes into the term of 5 years. this is something where i feel people don't understand the bike funding system of government. so to actions, i'm skeptical at leslie agency. i sure you heard her foreign as her talk about um this conspiracy, but im or on con is talking about he's been blaming the us for
3:49 am
a conspiracy to to get him and unseeded. of course, the u. s. denies this. does the public and pakistan believe this? okay, again let me go back to a couple of things which you questions you'd ask see the other speakers firstly i economy had started to recover until barcas on was recently starting this year hit by inspection and very bad inflation or that january was 11 percent today it is 15 point one percent and that inflation really hits people. the other thing is that even if elections are to be held, he is promised 90 days. but due to technical struck for reasons the gone be held in 90 days. because one of the election commercial pakistan announces
3:50 am
elections, it needs a minimum of 4 to 5 months to allow for the limitation of constituencies. there are new districts that are being made by him wrong on government. and if you go by the 2017 election election act, which was consolidating all the rules that existed so far, elections, then it seems very clear that nothing before 5 to 6 months. yes, i mean the other option, of course is that somehow a national government is installed, but the question is, who will install the government? the parliament re, procedures do not allow for it. so the no confidence motion has to go. let me not really has to wreck the country to ensure that you know, for the, for the military and military set for me there of being no judgements. supreme court judgments against emergencies bought by the military,
3:51 am
highlighting that anyone who's of was the, the constitution isn't greater. so that's another ball game. totally. another thing now, to know question about what happens with, you know, with this conspiracy. you know, various, the, the super on that, that is, that this conspiracy is actually, it actually is popular among on the street. and one of the reasons that he is constantly of referring to the conspiracy. american conspiracy is d as 2 reasons. one increases popularity amongst people, and secondly, it increases popularity amongst the 1st and 2nd tier military officers. oh, i mean going osha, i'm sorry, gosh, i'm sorry to interrupt you. we're, we're just starting to, we're just starting to run out of time. i'm sorry. let me ask you, what do you expect that enron cons next move might be. we can see that by the number of positions declaring that to happen once every 6 seeds are all
3:52 am
nationally, stanley, and out in daphne, he's going to declare the next election, a national assembly into a few minutes by mr. glass, a selection he can't stay here. otherwise, he will have to leave the seat and he has to appointed at a at is a place to run the country. and so at the moment it is a very difficult to say and what is going to happen? it is all dependent. and if you're just looking at a good scenario, what's going to happen? a foreigners do you think that we might see a concerted effort from here on out to try and improve pakistan's relationship with the u. s. is that something that's in the cards going forward? well, you know, edison spike fund was founded off,
3:53 am
found like 2 kids found and was to the come on other to our found mr. jenna. the 1st thing he did was send someone to washington d. c. because he understood, even though we were situated all the way in south asia, that the u. s. relationship was what we need it. unlike indian, its relationship with russia and wanting to be non non aligned box on all was wanted to be aligned with the us by that i mean pike funds military and was like santa compliments. that is not the feeling in the street. but i do believe that the permanent establishment and bike son does understand that they have to rescue ah, the. ringback relationship, not just that the us with a lot of european countries who have really become quite tired of this drama and
3:54 am
they realize they don't want an unstable like sun. so let's see going forward. i hope mister han to day accept the boot angles willingly. if he doesn't, i'm afraid it might be some of the measures which may be an democratic. i sure member on con has said that he refuses to recognise an opposition government, and he has also urged his supporters to command protest. do you think that his supporters are going to be coming out on to the streets and staging protests in the days ahead? i don't think that he is going to get hundreds and thousands of people out in the streets, not one consolidated buddhist. but definitely what i can see is much more, you know, chaos within the society. i mean, already, society is very divided. his, his supporters are extremely aggressive. i mean, recently we saw his m b a is a member of provincial assembly in sin,
3:55 am
hanging effigies off opposition, party leaders. i mean, how horrible was the site and now horrible is this idea. i mean, and they are so aggressive, they're ready to are, you know, do to punish physically punish opposition. leaders in london itself, where, where you have rule of law in the last one week, they're repeat, stuart acts, physical attacks on one of our series. no, no one of ashley's and in one of the taxes his guards were seriously injured and this is by video supporters. so just imagine what they are capable of doing in boxes on i don't think he has ever trained his party to politics. so you know, progress of that kind. i mean the, the progress that he held earlier in 2017 while with the army. but this time they're going, there's going to be more aggression. that is my, my,
3:56 am
my main worry. and i think that is what the bought off a lot of the world good looks at back us up and really has begun to be like a basket. gates are sure we have less than a minute left. i just want to ask you very quickly, how much concern is there impacts on right now about how, how large this constitutional crisis could good? well, i see that we are standing at a point out at, you know, one of the dilemma where somebody force, which is the armies for hand a secret can, can force something out. i think this is a serious crisis and it can, you know, it will eventually we're, we're at a point when there is a resolution because the supreme court to its intervention, something has to be done. well, we have run out of time. so we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much for all of our guests. ira i said i should say decker and pharmacy is behind it. and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time
