[00:00:20] In these circumstances, the water is now above our heads.
[00:00:24] And what?
[00:00:27] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa want Do you repeatedly want to play this game and absolutely make Pakistan

[00:00:59] President Zardari signed the summary for emergency
[00:01:02] and Governor's Rule under Articles 232 and 234.
[00:01:05] According to the statement issued by the President's House, the provincial government
[00:01:09] failed to demonstrate the required commitment
[00:01:13] and measures for effective prevention of terrorism and lawlessness.
[00:01:16] The Governor indicated the suspension of the constitutional
[00:01:20] system in the province and the inability of the provincial government to function.
[00:01:24] The provincial government cannot be run in accordance
[00:01:27] with the constitution in the current situation. Terrorism.
[00:02:00] Did the Chief Minister not have the decency to
[00:02:03] not condemn the terrorists whose children
[00:02:07] are being martyred, whose daughters have become orphans,
[00:02:11] Section 144 imposed whose sons have become orphans? They nourished Pakistan with their blood.
[00:02:14] They could have expressed sympathy for them, said a few words
[00:02:18] for them. They didn't say a word. And the
[00:02:21] discussion that is taking place right now
[00:02:24] is indescribable. There were two days of meetings, and talks were held with great sincerity,
[00:02:28] and I
[00:02:44] first of all, And urged PTI to immediately
[00:03:30] thought the matter was over. The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa does not want economic
[00:03:33] the team improvement in the country. The KP government
[00:03:35] hatched a wicked plan to attack Islamabad. They want to lead
[00:03:38] Pakistan towards destruction again.
[00:03:42] We cannot remain silent spectators to anti-nationalism. The law
[00:03:46] will take its course
[00:03:47] in any case.
[00:03:57] The federal cabinet sent an advisory to the President's House
[00:04:01] for the imposition of emergency and Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

[00:04:11] law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the provincial government's deliberate
[00:04:15] disengagement from the war against terrorism. The cabinet advised the Prime Minister
[00:04:19] to recommend to the President that the President should use his constitutional
[00:04:22] powers to impose emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under
[00:04:26] Articles 232 and 234 of Pakistan.

[00:04:48] carried out 170 drone attacks. Police and CTD are facing a severe shortage
[00:04:52] of modern weapons and operational equipment. The interaction
[00:04:56] and contacts between terrorist elements in Afghanistan and local facilitators
[00:05:12] are. They want a peaceful and prosperous future
[00:05:16] instead of chaos and insecurity. They desire peace,

[00:08:24] the Khawarij in the infiltration attempt. In the exchange of fire,
[00:08:28] Deputy Subedar Hidayat Uman embraced martyrdom. Clearance operation is underway.
[00:08:31] ISPR says that the Afghan Taliban regime is facilitating
[00:08:35] and patronizing cross-border terrorism instead of stopping it
[00:08:39] and has failed to fulfill its international counter-terrorism responsibilities.
[00:09:49] The deceased include citizens of America, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Jordan,

[00:19:46] of every moment's news because now you can watch Geo News
[00:19:50] bulletins, breaking news and all your favorite programs
[00:19:53] on Facebook.
[00:19:56] We will bring you the most important news so far. In view
[00:19:59] of increasing incidents of terrorism, serious law and order situation,
[00:20:03] and non-cooperation of the KP government, emergency has been imposed
[00:20:37] The provincial government cannot be run according to the constitution in the current
[00:20:41] situation. We will talk more about this. Waqar Satti
[00:20:44] is with us. Waqar, please tell us, you have been reporting on this matter
[00:20:48] since this morning. What is
[00:20:50] included
[00:20:53] in the statement issued by the President's House? Look,
[00:20:57] all those allegations that had been made for quite some time. Federal Interior
[00:21:01] Minister Mohsin Naqvi presented these allegations, these facts,
[00:21:05] and these evidences before the negotiating committee and gave a briefing
[00:21:08] for more than an hour and a half, and convinced the opposition members
[00:21:12] that the provincial government is not cooperating with the federation
[00:21:15] at all. Incidents of terrorism are happening daily, and lawlessness
[00:21:20] is at its peak. And this cannot be ignored in this way,
[00:21:24] which the opposition had assured that they would talk to the Chief Minister
[00:21:27] about this, and we will try to make the Chief Minister attend tomorrow's
[00:21:31] meeting, but neither the Chief Minister came nor any representative
[00:21:35] of his came. After that, there was a break
[00:21:38] in the negotiations. Later, Maulana
[00:21:42] but despite that, the reconciliation or negotiation process could not move
[00:21:45] forward, and after that, today, the Federal Cabinet, rather, last night,
[00:21:48] a high-level meeting was held at the President's House, which was presided
[00:21:52] over by the President. The Prime Minister, Federal
[00:21:55] Ministers, and other government officials attended it. All these things
[00:21:59] were discussed in it, and in it, the Governor wrote a letter
[00:22:03] in which he explained all these things
[00:22:06] to the President, and there
[00:22:10] it was decided that now there is no other option than emergency.
[00:22:14] Despite this, Maulana Fazlur Rehman wanted to move the negotiation process
[00:22:17] forward. He met again.
[00:22:24] He remained in contact. This morning, contact was made again. At 9:30 AM in the morning,
[00:22:28] in the Federal Cabinet meeting,
[00:22:32] Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar again called Maulana Fazlur Rehman
[00:22:36] and inquired about the situation,
[00:22:40] but the talks could not move forward. After that, here
[00:22:43] also, this thing was confirmed, and a recommendation
[00:22:47] was made that the law and order situation, let me tell
[00:22:50] you, Minister, that in today's Federal Cabinet meeting,
[00:22:54] the state and national security institutions presented a very detailed
[00:22:58] report on law and order and terrorism, and especially
[00:23:01] the performance of the KP government in the last two years
[00:23:05] has been reported, and that is why,
[00:23:08] stay with us, Waqar. Stay with us. We will
[00:23:11] come back to you. Senior journalist and analyst Saleem Safi Sahib
[00:23:15] has joined us. Safi Sahib, thank you very much. First
[00:23:19] of all, please give
[00:23:27] us the news about FATA. No, this
[00:23:30] is the case that
[00:23:34] the word FATA is no longer
[00:23:38] there. It has been abolished. Yes, exactly. The
[00:23:41] tribal districts, and not just the tribal
[00:23:44] districts, but also four other settled
[00:23:48] districts. This arrangement is not being made
[00:23:52] just for the tribal districts, but for the affected districts
[00:23:56] that are more affected by terrorism. An
[00:23:59] separate arrangement is being made
[00:24:02] at the bureaucratic level,
[00:24:04] and they will have their own separate secretariat,
[00:24:07] and an Additional Chief Secretary will
[00:24:11] look after it, and funds will also
[00:24:15] be given directly to it, but
[00:24:18] for running the province,
[00:24:23] of ministers who will assist
[00:24:26] the Governor will be given
[00:24:30] the designation of advisor, according to my information.
[00:24:33] And the 11 names that have been proposed,
[00:24:37] and it is expected
[00:24:39] that they will also assume
[00:24:43] their charge in a day or two. So, among them
[00:24:46] is Tariq Mahmood Pasha, the second
[00:24:50] is Dr. Amir Abdullah, the third is Lieutenant General
[00:24:54] Retired Nigar Johar Sahiba,
[00:24:56] and the fourth
[00:25:00] is Samar Bilour Sahiba, and the fifth
[00:25:03] is Dr. Sarfaraz Ali Sahib,
[00:25:06] and the sixth is Amir
[00:25:10] Javed Sahib, and the seventh is Dr.
[00:25:13] Muhammad Irshad Sahib, and then
[00:25:17] the eighth is Mr. Kifayatullah Sahib,
[00:25:20] and the ninth is Tayyab Qureshi Sahib,
[00:25:24] and the tenth is Usman Saifullah Khan,
[00:25:27] and the eleventh is Asif Rafiq Sahib.
[00:25:31] So, these people will work as the Governor's
[00:25:35] Advisory Council, according to my information. Okay, so you are saying
[00:25:38] that these 11 people will be advisors to the Governor, and
[00:25:41] one of these advisors will handle the settled
[00:25:45] areas, the districts. Is that right? And also,
[00:25:49] will he be given the post of Additional Chief Secretary?
[00:25:53] I think the intricacies will be looked into now,
[00:25:57] and the Additional Chief Secretary will come from the bureaucracy,
[00:26:00] and his appointment would have
[00:26:32] given because law and order
[00:26:35] and terrorism there have been made the basis
[00:26:39] for dismissing an elected government
[00:26:42] and a government with a two-thirds majority.
[00:26:45] So now for them, this
[00:26:49] challenge was already there to improve
[00:26:52] the situation of Abdur Rehman, but now
[00:26:55] expectations have increased a lot, and if
[00:26:59] even after this, the federal government and
[00:27:02] the Governor and his team do not succeed
[00:27:06] in improving the law and order in the province,
[00:27:09] then it will certainly be a great misfortune,
[00:27:13] and PTI will benefit a lot from
[00:27:16] this. Even politically, if you look at it, this
[00:27:20] step would have benefited PTI instead of harming
[00:27:23] it. And a sense
[00:27:26] of victimhood has started to appear, and it will further
[00:27:30] capitalize on its victimhood. But the biggest
[00:27:33] challenge is law and order, and in this,
[00:27:37] the issue of Talibanization is not just an internal
[00:27:41] issue of Pakistan, but it is also
[00:27:45] linked to Afghanistan, and it is linked
[00:27:48] to Pakistan's relations with Afghanistan. So, whether there is any improvement
[00:27:51] in this or not, this is a very big challenge
[00:27:55] that, I think, the federal government and
[00:27:59] the Governor and others have accepted. Okay, thank you very much.
