I disagree per my post

One can look at two apparently separate events as being a single continuous
event with an interruption.  For example if a multiday race is stopped for
the night (I think that's the way Grand prix races work), then at night you
can talk about pujoiba litru as a simultaneously past and future event.

You can also use such a tense in a looping concept of time where the future
indeed is the past, or in a time travel scenario, or...  Use your
imagination %^)
