Muzaffar Shah sahab doesn't agree with Muhaddithe Kabir (somewhere in 41 mins long video... minhaji stooge tasleem sabri is present)
I don't know but it seems he is referring to the "change of words" - where jalali sahib said "we will not use the word khata" - and muzaffar sahib is saying that substituting a different set of words does not qualify as ruju.
This seems to be a response to hazrat's previous reply when he said that when the sayyidah (raDyiAllahu 'anha) did not know of the hukm in the first place, it cannot be called a "khata" - unless the demand was kept up - which isn't the case.
As for the second audio, in which hazrat says that "khata ijtihaadi" is not synonymous with any gustakhi - and hence no tawbah as such is necessary [correct me if I have misunderstood hazrat's response] - muzaffar sahib has not responded to that.

In this lecture muzaffar sahib stresses on the inappropriateness of the use of the word "khata" in our times, as it has gained a negative connotation - from this admittedly valid contention* - the leap towards gustaakhi and takfeer is really astonishing.
On the flip side, he is defending irfan shah sahib's use of the word ma'soom - as just a linguistic variant of mahfooz** - failing to consider that it is just as inappropriate, if not more.
Thirdly, he is quoting the elders' use of the word "tahira" as a an accommodating proof for using the word ma'soom - whereas that word has an explicit nass in the Qur'an.

Lastly, the other mufti sab focusing on thew words "chane nahi bech rahe hai"*** seems to have misunderstood him, afaik, he wasn't using sarcastic language towards muhaddith-e-kabeer, in fact, he spoke with perfect adab.
And Allah knows best

* many years ago a mawlana sahib had told me that he doesn't agree to using the word "khata" for sayyiduna mu'awiyyah (raDyiAllahu 'anhu) even with the adjective of "ijtihaadi", in the awaam, because people are likely to latch on to the first word and leave off the second.
** the jawaaz for which, says he, is found in the book - notice the irony, he is faulting jalaali sahib for using "book-language" without considering the present connotations, and yet he is OK with irfan sahib doing jut that.
