[00:00:00] Baitullah, which is the house of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) for Madina Munawwarah, who is that Muslim who
[00:00:04] wouldn't die for it?
[00:00:07] So, I believe that today, from this
[00:00:10] forum, I will say that Pakistan fully
[00:00:14] expresses solidarity with Saudi Arabia
[00:00:18] in every way, stands with its Saudi
[00:00:21] brothers and sisters,
[00:00:25] and after signing it, to fight terrorists and will not tolerate any kind of aggression
[00:00:28] talks with good intentions in any form. Our agreements also demand this,
[00:00:32] and our bonds of brotherhood also
[00:00:36] demand this. Especially,
[00:00:39] the sanctity of Madina Munawwarah and Makkah
[00:00:43] Mukarramah, its protection is the responsibility of Muslims
[00:00:47] all over the world. So, I believe that in
[00:00:49] this regard, this is a red line. We all
[00:00:53] pray to Allah Almighty that this matter be resolved peacefully,
[00:00:57] otherwise, Pakistan, in every respect,
[00:01:00] expresses complete solidarity with its Saudi brothers
[00:01:03] and sisters and stands with them completely
[00:01:07] and will cooperate in every
[00:01:10] way.
[00:01:12] In this regard, you are aware of the recent
[00:01:15] incidents of terrorism
[00:01:19] in
[00:01:22] The President of Pakistan KP province and Balochistan, which has been happening
[00:01:26] for the past two and a half years.
[00:01:30] And the way ordinary
[00:01:33] citizens are being martyred
[00:01:36] by terrorists, being targeted, police officers and soldiers,
[00:01:40] army officers and soldiers,
[00:01:43] innocent people, children, mothers, sons,
[00:01:47] and daughters. I believe that nothing
[00:01:51] can be more heart-wrenching than this. These
[00:01:55] are extremely painful
[00:01:57] are very clear and important and sorrowful incidents, and
[00:02:00] day and night, the Pakistan
[00:02:03] Armed Forces are pursuing them
[00:02:07] and sending them to hell.
[00:02:10] However, we have repeatedly
[00:02:12] reminded
[00:02:15] Afghanistan that we are neighbors, and we will remain neighbors
[00:02:18] until the Day of Judgment. It is up to us
[00:02:23] to the brink of destruction again whether
[00:02:24] for the President's signature we want to live like good neighbors
[00:02:27] or one
[00:02:44] of Article 148,
[00:02:51] will not interfere
[00:03:30] Even before this division, number one,
[00:03:33] although it was never an agenda or item of the NFC,
[00:03:37] we did it because KP was the frontline
[00:03:40] state of Pakistan that was fighting these terrorists,
[00:03:44] and there, during our time,
[00:03:48] politicians were martyred, ordinary citizens were martyred,
[00:03:52] in the eight tribal areas shopkeepers, doctors, engineers, so
[00:03:55] we told them that 1% will be
[00:03:59] given and distribution will happen
[00:04:03] after that. Today
[00:04:07] it is all before you. it is 2010, and today it is 2026.
[00:04:10] So, believe me, approximately 800
[00:04:14] billion rupees have been given
[00:04:18] to them in this regard or are being given,
[00:04:22] and the result of this, and this was only for this purpose,
[00:04:25] that you will augment
[00:04:28] and after some time, the official your CTD, you will do training in police stations,
[00:04:31] you will recruit new people, you will take weapons, you will do
[00:04:34] everything. But what was the result of this?
[00:04:38] That there, neither CTD became
[00:04:41] strong, nor was the police strengthened, nor were weapons provided,
[00:04:44] nor was there any intelligence. And
[00:04:47] where did the money go? I am not going into that detail. What was the result?
[00:04:51] That every day, sometimes in Tank,
[00:04:54] sometimes in Dera Ismail Khan, sometimes in other places, attacks are happening,
[00:04:58] and the KP government, instead of addressing them,
[00:05:00] is silent.
[00:05:03] And when we say that this is the help of terrorism,
[00:05:07] instead of standing with the federation, instead of uniting with the federation,
[00:05:11] they don't utter
[00:05:15] a single word. I am not going into the details. I am not
[00:05:18] here for any kind of political point-scoring.
[00:05:21] I can talk about that, but for some other time,
[00:05:25] why is it that other people are being targeted, and their rallies
[00:05:29] are coming out? So I am not going into that. I am just saying
[00:05:33] that it is our duty
[00:05:35] with the federation, the police of this province,
[00:05:39] and all of us, instead of becoming
[00:05:42] a complete wall, they are
[00:05:45] not only silent, but the
[00:05:48] situation is worsening every
[00:05:52] day, and now they have planned
[00:05:55] an impure plan to invade Islamabad. Look,
[00:05:59] as I have already said, when your economy's
[00:06:02] indicators are slowly improving,
[00:06:06] and with day and night efforts, by God, this is teamwork.
[00:06:09] I don't want to talk about self-aggrandizement.
[00:06:13] And there are still many challenges, but through teamwork,
[00:06:16] Alhamdulillah, work is ongoing. Your
[00:06:20] remittances have increased, your
[00:06:23] fiscal discipline has come. Your
[00:06:27] State Bank's reserves are the highest in history.
[00:06:31] You have handled the worst oil crisis
[00:06:34] with full cooperation and teamwork.
[00:06:38] You have jointly made the fuel subsidy,
[00:06:41] Alhamdulillah, a very successful initiative,
[00:06:45] which cannot be praised enough.
[00:06:48] More than one crore people have benefited
[00:06:51] from it. One crore means multiplied
[00:06:54] by six, because one household of five
[00:06:57] or six individuals, so that makes six crore or five crore. So
[00:07:01] five crore people are directly or indirectly benefiting from it,
[00:07:05] and this matter is gradually progressing.
[00:07:08] Your other diplomatic successes
[00:07:12] are in their place. So from this group, this long
[00:07:16] march, those who want to come to Islamabad
[00:07:19] and relive those miserable
[00:07:22] memories when clothes used to be hung at D-Chowk
[00:07:25] and what kind of spectacle, digging graves. God forbid,
[00:07:29] do they want to re-broadcast Pakistan's destruction?
[00:07:32] Do they want to bring Pakistan
[00:07:36] and commit this enmity against Pakistan, which gave you everything, made
[00:07:40] you Chief Minister, gave you governments?
[00:07:43] You ruled there for 13 years. Is this how you are returning
[00:07:47] to Pakistan? I believe that no act of enmity
[00:07:50] against the country can be greater than this. So today,
[00:07:54] will you remain silent spectators and just sit there so that
[00:07:57] your laborers cannot reach their factories, engineers
[00:08:01] cannot go to their factories, owners cannot go to their shops,
[00:08:05] an officer cannot go to their office, children cannot go to school,
[00:08:08] the country will again move towards destruction. Those who
[00:08:12] have good thoughts about Pakistan and are expressing them,
[00:08:16] will they just sit inside? Will Pakistan's investors
[00:08:19] sit back and wait for things to get better before
[00:08:23] investing? Do you want to play this game again and again
[00:08:27] and make Pakistan completely helpless and destroy it?
[00:08:30] This will not happen. The law will take its course, and it
[00:08:34] will do so in every way, God willing. I will not let this happen,
[00:08:37] and you also understand
[00:08:38] it well.
[00:08:42] In this regard, we decided, the Pakistan
[00:08:46] People's Party and PML-N, and I give credit
[00:08:50] to Mr. Asif Zardari, Mr. Bilawal
[00:08:53] Bhutto, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, and my team, that we decided
[00:08:57] that we would send a delegation jointly to them
[00:09:01] and explain to them that we should resolve this matter
[00:09:04] through dialogue so that Pakistan can again be saved
[00:09:08] from its horrific , I would say, devastating
[00:09:12] effects, and the hard work done in two and a half
[00:09:16] years, whose results are slowly coming to light,
[00:09:19] can be saved from destruction. Meetings were held for two
[00:09:23] days, in which Mr. Mohsin Naqvi, Mr. Rana Sanaullah,
[00:09:27] and Ameer Maqam were from our side, and from the Pakistan
[00:09:31] People's Party, their Syed Hamid Qamar was there,
[00:09:35] and Ms. Sherry Rehman was there. So
[00:09:37] I think the talks were held with great sincerity,
[00:09:41] and I was surprised, rather
[00:09:44] pleasantly surprised, that this matter, Alhamdulillah, would be resolved.
[00:09:48] I was told last night, Mr. Naqvi
[00:09:51] and my other colleagues told me, that the matter was resolved.
[00:09:55] The final draft was finalized. They said,
[00:09:59] "We will show it to our Chief Minister."
[00:10:02] So everything was fine, but then everything stopped, and the matter
[00:10:06] ended because their intentions were bad. They did not want
[00:10:10] peace in the country. They did not want the journey
[00:10:14] of progress to continue. They did not want our diplomatic
[00:10:17] successes to move forward. They did not want an economic
[00:10:21] revolution here. They said "no," and the matter ended.
[00:10:25] Our concerns proved true again.
[00:10:28] So after that, they were informally told
[00:10:32] to stop their long march, to call
[00:10:35] off their sit-ins. We can still talk
[00:10:39] to them, but they did not give any
[00:10:42] positive response. Yesterday, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman,
[00:10:45] I thank him, he kindly came, and he
[00:10:49] participated in these
[00:10:53] and sincerity. He said that he had come.
[00:10:56] The Prime Minister had also returned after performing Umrah.
[00:11:00] I had called him myself and congratulated him on his Umrah
[00:11:04] and told him that he had contributed to this
[00:11:08] matter as soon as he arrived. So we are ready for it. So
[00:11:11] he came, and then my colleagues were with me last night.
[00:11:15] Did the KP government or the Chief Minister not have
[00:11:19] the courage to at least condemn the terrorists
[00:11:22] whose children are being martyred, whose daughters
[00:11:25] have become orphans, whose sons have become orphans, who have watered
[00:11:29] Pakistan with their blood? Could they not express their sympathy
[00:11:33] for them, say a few words? They didn't say a single
[00:11:36] word, and the discourse that is currently taking
[00:11:39] place is indescribable. Such words,
[00:11:43] such obscenities that cannot be uttered. So I believe that
[00:11:46] in these circumstances, water has passed over the head.
[00:11:50] We need to do something about this. Today, in this month,
[00:11:54] I have presented this entire picture to you.
[00:11:58] I believe that
[00:12:01] this is never. This is your decision. History
[00:12:04] will remember us by these decisions.
[00:12:13] Shahbaz Sharif. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that
[00:12:17] for two years, civilians have been targeted in terrorism.
[00:12:21] In his address to the cabinet meeting, he said that terrorists in KP and Balochistan are targeting
[00:12:58] civilians and security forces. The water has gone above the head.
[00:13:02] It's time for a decision. This was stated by the Prime Minister
[00:13:05] during the federal cabinet meeting. The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:13:09] have suffered greatly from terrorism. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:13:13] government has become a silent spectator instead of fighting
[00:13:16] terrorism. The provincial government has paid no attention to
[00:13:20] increasing the capacity of the CTD. Due to the provincial government's
[00:13:24] neglect, terrorism
[00:13:55] They are being pursued and sent to hell, and the KP
[00:13:58] government is silent instead of challenging these terrorists.
[00:14:02] The KP government is not uttering a single word instead of
[00:14:06] collaborating with the federation to eliminate terrorists.
[00:14:09] Fighting terrorists is our collective duty. The plan to
[00:14:12] invade Islamabad is an impure plan. The federal government
[00:14:16] has given 800 billion rupees to the KP government for anti-terrorism
[00:14:20] efforts over 10 years. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government
[00:14:23] should have focused on strengthening CTD and security, and now
[00:14:27] the water is above the head. It's time for a decision. This
[00:14:31] was the Prime Minister's statement. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif
[00:14:34] has said that for two years, civilians have been targeted in terrorism.
[00:14:38] In his address to the cabinet meeting, he said that terrorists in KP
[00:14:42] and Balochistan are targeting civilians and security forces.
[00:14:45] Day and night, the Pakistan Armed Forces are pursuing
[00:14:49] and sending these terrorists to hell, and the KP government
[00:14:52] is silent instead of challenging
[00:15:37] It is now time for decision, and he said that for two
[00:15:41] years, civilians have been targeted in terrorism, and
[00:15:45] terrorists in KP and Balochistan are targeting civilians and
[00:15:49] security forces. Day and night, the Pakistan Armed Forces are pursuing
[00:15:53] and sending these terrorists to hell, and the KP government
[00:15:56] is silent instead of challenging these terrorists. The KP government
[00:16:00] is not uttering a single word instead of collaborating with the
[00:16:03] federation to eliminate terrorists. Fighting terrorists is our collective
[00:16:07] duty. The plan to invade Islamabad is an impure plan, the Prime
[00:16:11] Minister said. The federal government has given 800 billion rupees
[00:16:15] to the KP government for anti-terrorism efforts over 10 years. The Khyber
[00:16:18] Pakhtunkhwa government should have focused on strengthening CTD and
[00:16:22] security. The water is above the head. This was stated by Prime Minister
[00:16:26] Shahbaz Sharif. It's now or never. Prime Minister Shahbaz
[00:16:30] Sharif has said that for two years, civilians have been targeted
[00:16:34] in terrorism. In his address to the cabinet meeting, the Prime
[00:17:38] Minister said that I am giving you a very big breaking news.
[00:17:42] The federal cabinet meeting has ended, and the negotiation
[00:17:45] offer made by the government has failed. At this time,
[00:17:49] Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State for
[00:17:52] Interior Talal Chaudhry have reached the Presidency.
[00:17:56] The federal cabinet has given approval, and the advice
[00:18:02] has been taken. After this, a notification
[00:18:05] will be officially issued. I
[00:18:08] had a conversation with a very reliable source, and they said
[00:18:12] that the attempt made had failed, and at this time,
[00:18:16] Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State for Interior
[00:18:19] Talal Chaudhry are present at the Presidency with President
[00:18:23] Asif Ali Zardari. The advice, which was an approval
[00:18:26] from the federal cabinet, has been taken to the President
[00:18:30] in the form of advice, and after some time, it will be signed,
[00:18:34] and the government will officially implement Article 232
[00:18:37] and 234 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. After
[00:18:41] this, on Tuesday, it will be approved by both
[00:18:45] houses, and the wait that
[00:18:48] was being made for Maulana Sahib's call is over.
[00:18:52] The federal cabinet meeting has ended. Interior Minister Mohsin
[00:18:56] Naqvi, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry are currently
[00:18:59] present at the Presidency. After the federal cabinet's approval,
[00:19:03] the Prime Minister has sent the advice to the President,
[00:19:06] which the Interior Minister himself carried, and Minister of State
[00:19:10] Talal Chaudhry is also present with him. So that procedure
[00:19:13] is almost complete, and after some time, after the signature,
[00:19:17] its notification will be issued, and the government intends to implement
[00:19:20] Article 232 and 234. Governor's rule will be imposed,
[00:19:24] and along with that, emergency will be imposed
[00:19:29] and four districts. I am giving you a breaking news that
[00:19:33] all procedures regarding the federal cabinet have been completed.
[00:19:37] The federal cabinet has given approval. The wait that was being made
[00:19:41] for Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman's call, no significant response has come from there.
[00:19:45] Ishaq Dar Sahib has informed the federal cabinet and the Prime Minister.
[00:19:49] Therefore, the federal government has sent the advice for implementation
[00:19:53] to the President. And at this time, Interior Minister
[00:19:56] Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State for
[00:20:00] Interior are currently present at the Presidency,
[00:20:05] notification will be issued from the Presidency.
[00:20:28] the negotiations have failed despite the efforts of the Prime Minister,
[00:20:32] the President of Pakistan, and all the
[00:20:36] political leaders here.
[00:20:39] Their efforts in this regard have not been effective,
[00:20:43] and the same thing happened during the negotiations that the provincial
[00:20:46] government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa did not give any positive response.
[00:20:50] And after that, it was compelled to impose emergency under
[00:20:53] Article 232 and Article 234. The federal government
[00:20:56] is going ahead with it, and according to our information,
[00:21:00] the cabinet meeting is still ongoing,
[00:21:03] and it has been approved in principle,
[00:21:07] and as Ayaz mentioned, this summary
[00:21:11] will go to the Presidency,
[00:21:15] Governor's rule will be imposed there through a notification.
[00:21:18] گورنر روج ا
[00:21:50] was presented. The Prime Minister informed about the entire situation.
[00:21:53] After that, it was approved. After the approval,
[00:21:56] it was said once again that why not
[00:22:00] talk to them, to the government of Khyber
[00:22:03] Pakhtunkhwa. Regarding talking to them,
[00:22:06] Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman was telephoned by Ishaq Dar Sahib.
[00:22:10] He was waited for, but we just received news
[00:22:14] a short while ago that the attempt failed, and the federal
[00:22:18] cabinet approved this
[00:22:28] have been taken, and now it is implemented. After some time, its
[00:22:32] notification will be issued, and officially,
[00:22:35] Governor's rule and emergency will be imposed
[00:22:39] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Yes.
[00:22:42] We would like to know from you that just as Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman
[00:22:45] was called by Ishaq Dar and a final offer was made,
[00:22:49] what was it that the provincial government of PTI insisted
[00:22:53] on, due to which the final
[00:22:57] offer of negotiations was not accepted?
[00:23:01] Look, the provincial government does not have a clear target.
[00:23:04] They have their own way of thinking,
[00:23:08] their own approach. The three demands they made
[00:23:11] earlier in Parliament and openly in their rallies
[00:23:15] and processions, they keep saying in their protests that on one
[00:23:19] hand, it is a matter of national security, and on the other hand,
[00:23:23] their demand is a meeting with the founder, and matters
[00:23:26] related to the founder. The federal government has clearly
[00:23:30] assured through the negotiating committee and otherwise
[00:23:33] through back-door contacts that if you call
[00:23:36] off this long march, then the government
[00:23:41] in any judicial matters after that.
[00:23:45] The statement issued by the federal cabinet
[00:23:49] is
[00:24:20] In view of the seriousness of the situation, the President
[00:24:23] of the country, exercising his constitutional authority,
[00:24:26] will impose emergency in KP province under Articles 232
[00:24:30] and 234 of the Constitution of Pakistan. In this regard, the advice has been sent from the Prime Minister's
[00:24:34] House to the Presidency. A meeting of the Federal Cabinet
[00:24:38] was held under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
[00:24:41] The cabinet was briefed on the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:24:45] and the deteriorating situation of terrorism. In view
[00:24:49] of the deteriorating law and order situation in KP and the deliberate
[00:24:53] detachment of the provincial government from the war against
[00:24:56] terrorism, the cabinet reviewed the situation in detail.
[00:25:00] The federal cabinet has approved the imposition of emergency
[00:25:03] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under Articles 232 and 234,
[00:25:07] and this advice has been sent to the President
[00:25:11] of the country. We are updating you that a meeting of
[00:25:14] the Federal Cabinet was held under the chairmanship of Prime
[00:25:17] Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif.
[00:25:50] and I am giving you the news that a meeting of the Federal
[00:25:54] Cabinet was held under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif,
[00:25:57] in which a briefing was given on the law and order situation
[00:26:01] in KP and the deteriorating
[00:26:06] In view of the deliberate detachment of the provincial
[00:26:10] government from the war, the cabinet reviewed the situation
[00:26:13] in detail and advised the Prime Minister to recommend to the President
[00:26:17] to exercise his constitutional authority and impose emergency
[00:26:21] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province under Articles 232 and
[00:26:24] 234 of the Constitution of Pakistan. We will talk about this with
[00:26:28] legal expert Hafiz Ehsan Sahib, who is present with us. Hafiz
[00:26:31] Ehsan Sahib, thank you very much for giving time to Yunus. It has
[00:26:35] been decided to impose emergency and Governor's rule in KP
[00:26:39] under Articles 232 and 234
[00:26:41] of the Constitution of Pakistan. What
[00:26:46] The meeting was held, but fundamentally, if you look at
[00:26:49] the constitutional mechanism, it says that if an emergency
[00:26:53] is imposed in this country, whether it is Article 232,
[00:26:57] 234, or 235, it is the prerogative
[00:27:00] of the President of Pakistan,
[00:27:02] and he has to be satisfied that such circumstances exist
[00:27:06] on the basis of which a proclamation of emergency under Article
[00:27:10] 232 or 234 should be issued.
[00:27:12] The things done by the federal government today
[00:27:16] are in the form of an assessment report, and they are in no way
[00:27:19] binding on the President of Pakistan under Article 48(1).
[00:27:25] has to make a decision under 48(2), because the constitutional
[00:27:28] function has been given to the President of Pakistan independently
[00:27:32] under Article 232, and the President is not bound
[00:27:36] by the advice of any cabinet. But fundamentally, is there
[00:27:40] such a situation, or are there such things being done in the context
[00:27:44] of KP, that the President of Pakistan's level of satisfaction
[00:27:47] is such that on its basis, Article 232 or 234
[00:27:51] should be invoked? So my opinion on this constitutional
[00:27:54] matter is that Articles 148 and 149
[00:27:59] in this matter. If any
[00:28:02] law is made or direction is given by the federal
[00:28:06] government, then the provincial government is bound to ensure
[00:28:10] compliance with those directions and all federal laws.
[00:28:14] And along with that, it is the responsibility of the
[00:28:17] provincial government under Article 148(2) that it should
[00:28:21] exercise its executive authority in such a way that the authority
[00:28:24] of the federal government is neither impeded
[00:28:28] nor prejudiced, and the federal executive authority is not compromised.
[00:28:32] And if such a thing is done, then Article
[00:28:36] 149 is very clear in this matter that the federal
[00:28:40] government can give advice in this context, and
[00:28:43] this is the basis
[00:28:46] that for the past two years, the KP government
[00:28:50] has been ignoring the federal government's directions, especially
[00:28:53] those related to law and order, national security, and the decisions
[00:28:56] of the Apex Committee, which relate to external aggression
[00:29:00] or internal disturbance,
[00:29:35] But if after consultation, the federal government decides
[00:29:39] something, then the provincial government or state or any
[00:29:43] other area has to comply. So now, if we look at
[00:29:47] the context of Article 232, there are all those things that
[00:29:51] indicate an external threat. Even today, you saw that
[00:29:54] about 12 foreigners were crossing into Pakistan's territory
[00:29:58] in Kurram, and they were killed, and one of our subedars was martyred.
[00:30:01] After that,
[00:30:10] And after that, the countries of the world have advised
[00:30:14] Afghanistan not to allow its territory to be used against
[00:30:17] Pakistan. So the external threat is also before you.
[00:30:21] And regarding internal disturbance, the figures presented to the cabinet
[00:30:24] today show that terrorism has increased by approximately
[00:30:28] 107%. Drone attacks have increased
[00:30:33] by 185%. Approximately more than two thousand
[00:30:36] people have been martyred. More than seven thousand
[00:30:40] terrorist activities have occurred, and then beyond
[00:30:43] capacity. Both things have happened there. The provincial government
[00:30:47] is neither taking ownership nor cooperating,
[00:30:51] nor is it following the directions given in the National
[00:30:54] Action Plan, the 20 directions that PTI also signed,
[00:30:58] signed.
