[00:00:37] a visit at the invitation of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
[00:00:40] Field Marshal Asim Munir is also with the Prime Minister. Prime Minister
[00:00:44] Shahbaz Sharif will meet with the Saudi Crown Prince. The regional

[00:00:50] discussed. The spokesperson for the Foreign Office said that the visit is important
[00:00:54] for regional peace, diplomatic relations, and the promotion of a joint strategy.
[00:00:58] Pakistan
[00:01:26] and the system
[00:01:36] on court order, the young businessman Mir Raza of Karachi will undergo a second post-mortem.
[00:01:40] Geo News has obtained important pictures related to Mir Raza Ali's case.
[00:01:43] There is a bullet mark on Mir Raza's shirt
[00:01:47] and threads are coming out of the shirt. The post-mortem
[00:01:50] report stated that the bullet entered the chest and exited the back. In the picture, there are
[00:01:54] also injury-like marks on the feet. There are also clear signs of
[00:01:58] violence on the ribs on the right side. Changes in the medical board formed for the exhumation
[00:02:02] of Mir Raza's grave. The order for a new medical
[00:02:05] board has been issued. Professor Dr. Zakiuddin
[00:02:09] is included
[00:02:09] in the board.
[00:02:15] Mir Raza Ali's parents rejected any changes in the medical board
[00:02:19] formed under the supervision of Police Sergeant Dr. Sumaiya Syed for the exhumation
[00:02:24] clearly show and re-post-mortem. Speaking in Geo News' program "Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Ke Saath",
[00:02:27] they further said that they will not allow any other team
[00:02:31] to exhume the grave and conduct a post-mortem. If the team is changed,
[00:02:35] it will seem that Mir Raza's killers are being protected.
[00:02:39] Mir Raza Ali's parents further said that
[00:02:42] cannot be immediately confirmed when they received the initial pictures of their son's body, it became clear
[00:02:44] Marshal Asim Munir is also present that it was not suicide.
[00:02:55] it has turned black, and there are such marks
[00:02:57] The possibility of an alliance between PPP and PTI. And there is no danger
[00:03:01] to the government. Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry speaking on Geo News'
[00:03:04] program Shahzaib Khanzada said that after two and a half
[00:03:08] years, the government's countdown begins. In this way,
[00:03:11] five years will be completed, and the alliance will continue in the same way. The
[00:03:15] PPP feels this and will feel it more. It is also in the interest of
[00:03:19] Pakistan and the system that the current alliance continues in the same way.
[00:03:23] Talal Chaudhry denied the claims of PTI sons that their Pakistani identity
[00:03:26] cards have expired and said that their sons
[00:03:30] can also come to Pakistan by taking a digital ID. If they
[00:03:35] it is written in it come, we will arrange a meeting. PTI's temperament is not political. Until
[00:03:38] their political people do not make political decisions, no movement will yield
[00:03:41] any results. After all options are exhausted, now only the
[00:03:45] sympathy card remains.

[00:04:37] Assemblies should have a two-thirds majority
[00:04:40] there is also a need for provinces, so we have said Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman said in favor of new provinces. Barrister Gohar Khan said that it is difficult for Shahbaz Sharif

[00:19:48] for rescue teams to reach here immediately
[00:19:51] and initially to prevent the fire from spreading, and after
[00:19:55] that, more fire brigades should also be called. We have also spoken to the spokesperson

[00:20:03] one vehicle has been dispatched from their side as well, and as soon as one vehicle gives
[00:20:07] further information about the fire, more vehicles will also be dispatched.
[00:20:11] Thank you Kashif for the

[00:20:23] caught fire, and the fire

[00:21:07] Moving forward, on court order, the young businessman of Karachi, Mir Raza, will undergo a second
[00:21:10] post-mortem today. Geo News has obtained important
[00:21:14] pictures related to Mir Raza Ali's case. We will talk more
[00:21:18] with Geo News correspondent Raheel Salman, who is with us.
[00:21:21] Raheel, please tell us, the victim's parents have already said
[00:21:25] that they will not accept the new board. What is the reason behind
[00:21:29] the talks about forming a new board? is coming forward?
[00:21:33] Look, in this regard, the authorities have issued an order. Office
[00:21:36] order, on the basis of which it is known that the order of the medical board that was
[00:21:40] formed earlier for the exhumation of the grave has now been changed. This
[00:21:44] board was earlier an eight-member board, which has now been made a five-member board. In this, only the Police
[00:21:48] Surgeon of Karachi, Dr. Sumaiya.
[00:22:26] The number of members of the committee has also been reduced to five, and the number has also decreased.
[00:22:29] The board that was formed earlier was an eight-member
[00:22:33] board, and now this morning, that is,
[00:22:37] Friday morning, the exhumation was to take place, and arrangements were also being made by the police
[00:22:40] in the graveyard, where the barriers are put up. Apart from that,
[00:22:44] Geo News has also obtained some important pictures, in which there are some
[00:22:48] pictures of him, and in these pictures, it is clearly visible
[00:22:52] that when he was shot in the chest, the
[00:22:55] threads of the shirt he was wearing are coming out. Whereas
[00:22:59] in the post-mortem report, it is written that he was shot in the chest
[00:23:02] and the bullet exited his back. So if a person is wearing a shirt,
[00:23:06] and is shot in the chest, the threads go inwards.
[00:23:10] But the pictures we have obtained
[00:23:14] that the threads of the chest part of his shirt are coming out.
[00:23:17] Whereas apart from that, on his foot. On his right
[00:23:21] leg, on the sole of his foot, there are some marks that look like torture
[00:23:24] wounds. Similarly, on his body, on the ribs on the right side, there are also
[00:23:28] some similar marks. These
[00:23:32] as torture. This will only be clear in the complete medical report
[00:23:35] that will come after the exhumation of the grave.
[00:23:39] But those marks indicate that there is clotted blood,
[00:23:45] as if he was tortured. But in any case, the forensic
[00:23:48] reports will be able to confirm this.
[00:25:50] has been made public, we are relying on them,
[00:25:53] apart from them, not a single person should be changed. If even one person
[00:25:57] is changed, then we will not approve
[00:26:00] it, not any other team.
[00:27:19] So everyone has thought it through at this time, and this is not a child's play that every other
[00:27:23] day you keep reconsidering it. It is also in the interest of Pakistan
[00:27:28] that this coalition continues. PTI's temperament
[00:27:32] is not political. Until the political people of their party
[00:27:36] make decisions politically, no movement will yield any result.
[00:27:40] Their demands are neither unpolitical nor illegitimate.
[00:27:44] After dissolving assemblies, after the long march, after November
[00:27:48] 26, after May 9, after all options, now only the sympathy card
[00:27:51] is left. The health issue is genuine, the issue of not being allowed to meet family is genuine, the issue of not
[00:27:55] being allowed to talk to sons is genuine, so how is it a card? Why do his sons go to America,
[00:27:59] give interviews, lobby? Why don't they come to Pakistan?
[00:28:32] they can download a digital ID. They will come to Pakistan.
[00:28:35] In Pakistan, it is all acceptable, valid. Why don't they come?
[00:28:39] They have two demands, and they are legitimate demands, that cases should be heard in court,
[00:28:43] justice should be given, meetings should be opened. You will not agree. This path
[00:28:46] is only one, that is the negotiation table. They should talk
[00:28:50] there. No threat, no coercion, long
[00:28:54] march, dissolve the assembly, resign, whatever
[00:28:57] experiment they want to do, they can do. The state cannot be dictated
[00:29:01] anymore.
[00:29:33] there is a procedure and during this constitutional procedure,
[00:29:38] that if the assembly of a
[00:29:41] province passes a resolution with a two-thirds
[00:29:44] majority that the province should be divided in some way,
[00:29:47] then it is possible. The Sindh provincial
[00:29:51] assembly, not once but many times, I don't remember the number,
[00:29:54] but
[00:29:56] people opposed the formation of any
[00:30:00] new province in Sindh, so
[00:30:42] that these are such sensitive issues that they require
[00:30:46] a larger consensus. First of all, this, and if we
[00:30:50] have to do something, then one thing is that if you are changing the boundaries of a province, then you need
[00:30:54] a two-thirds majority of that province, whether it's KP.
