[00:00:09] with our police, [00:00:11] with our army, [00:00:22] In these circumstances, water is now over our heads, [00:00:26] and [00:00:28] and as things happen, then slowly do you want to play this game again and again and make Pakistan [00:00:32] completely helpless and completely destroy it? This will not happen. [00:00:35] The law will take its [00:00:38] things, and in this, course. [00:00:44] Emergency and Governor's rule have been imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa today. President Asif [00:00:48] Zardari has issued a decree. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that if not now, then never. [00:00:52] Water has gone over our heads. [00:00:55] I assure you that I will stand shoulder It's time for a decision. It is the duty of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:00:57] to fight terrorists along with the federation. The federation. [00:01:43] It is the duty of the state [00:02:00] Despite this, things were still at a standstill. So, [00:02:04] in this background, today, after detailed consultation, [00:02:07] the President [00:02:10] has, on the advice of the Prime Minister, [00:02:14] used the powers given in Article 232 [00:02:18] and Article 234 of the Constitution [00:02:21] to impose emergency [00:02:26] not the citizen in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [00:02:30] After this, the provincial government became inactive. The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was given the authority to manage the province. [00:02:33] An 11-member advisory council was formed to assist the Governor. [00:02:37] A secretariat was established for 12 districts severely affected by terrorism. [00:02:40] Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar's [00:02:44] press briefing stated that an order has also been issued to deploy forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:02:48] to assist the Governor under Article 245. The Law [00:02:52] Minister said that such measures are not taken with pleasure. The power to impose emergency was used for national interest and security. [00:02:55] According to Azam Nazeer Tarar. [00:02:59] مطابق۔ [00:04:00] There was no political discussion, and our [00:04:03] goal was to somehow bring them on board and at least bring [00:04:07] clarity to this [00:04:09] war. [00:04:15] and sisters, The Federal Interior Minister has said that for more than a month, [00:04:19] continuous efforts were made to bring the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on board. [00:04:22] He was personally in contact with them [00:04:28] gave their lives for the peace of Pakistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. we will keep it, and then in the background. Sohail Afridi used to meet us secretly. He was afraid of taking pictures. He himself used to say, "You are doing a very good job." Many meetings were held with Sohail [00:04:31] Afridi. Four months ago, Sohail Afridi had agreed [00:04:35] that police capacity would be increased in six districts. [00:04:39] In the first round of negotiations, he himself agreed that emergency should be imposed in 12 districts. [00:04:42] There is no doubt about the links between PTI and terrorists. [00:04:46] Mohsin Oqmi said that the problem was not with the sit-in, we would have [00:04:49] dealt with that. Our problem is terrorism. According to the Interior Minister, before the long [00:04:53] march, progress had been made on most of PTI's demands. Backdoor work on meetings, [00:04:56] was already underway. [00:05:00] Masoomi said that if PTI had agreed in the negotiations or [00:05:03] even last night, the decisions made today would not have happened. We made [00:05:07] the decision out of compulsion. [00:05:08] کیا۔ [00:05:48] They are made stakeholders in their authority, a power-sharing formula, if I [00:05:52] may say, between terrorists and the PTI [00:05:56] government, a power-sharing formula was slowly developing, [00:05:59] which started from the southern districts and was gaining more [00:06:03] ingress throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Those whose responsibility [00:06:06] it was [00:06:09] did not just facilitate, they made terrorists partners [00:06:13] in their administration. [00:06:16] Federal Information [00:06:19] Minister accused PTI, saying there is a nexus between PTI and [00:06:23] terrorists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Those in the province responsible for security and law and order [00:06:27] were partners with terrorists. They were pushing the entire province into terrorism. [00:06:31] The Federal Information Minister declared the members of the advisory council shining [00:06:35] stars and said that Muhammad Yahya Akhundzada will be the Additional Chief [00:06:38] Secretary of the Advisory Council. Other members include Kifayatullah Khan, Tariq Mahmood Pasha, Aamir. [00:07:16] In the federal cabinet meeting, two special security reports of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police and sensitive agencies [00:07:20] were presented. According to reports, from 2024 [00:07:23] to 2026, terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa increased by 195%. [00:07:26] In 2026, terrorists carried out 170 drone attacks. [00:07:29] Police and CTD face a severe shortage of modern weapons and operational equipment. [00:07:33] The increase is due to the nexus between terrorist elements in Afghanistan [00:07:36] and local facilitators, the government's flawed policy, and a soft corner [00:07:40] for terrorists. [00:09:12] If there is any, sir, we will run the security plan for three [00:09:16] days, we think we will run it, and [00:09:19] in that, sir, it happens that so that Peshawar does not face pressure, then we [00:09:23] included Fardan, Malakand, [00:09:26] Hazara, where motorways are like this, we [00:09:30] also included them in this, and similarly, we did it in Bohar and that side too, [00:09:33] so it was good, [00:09:37] our obvious [00:09:40] can [00:10:12] and chairperson of the rules and regulations committee and honored to be [00:10:16] here and you are now okay, [00:10:19] yes now an advisor to you [00:10:22] for. [00:10:57] I also remember the part of civil service [00:10:59] resigned. [00:11:02] like [00:11:07] which portfolio which which portfolio [00:11:11] you have uh [00:11:23] my name associated. [00:11:55] Advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan, [00:11:57] advocate general of this province and departments and [00:14:25] There are many challenges that you will have to face, [00:14:28] and definitely, the portfolios [00:14:31] you have been given, you will go, your [00:14:35] ministers, your secretaries will brief [00:14:38] you on it. We will give you a few days to get briefed in your ministries, [00:14:42] what things are good that we can keep, we can bring changes [00:14:46] in them, what we can do. So with [00:14:50] some passage of time, we will take regular briefings [00:14:53] on it. But one thing is that we have to fast-track these things. [00:14:56] There is zero tolerance for corruption, and we have to follow up [00:15:00] on things. This is not about forming committees and then giving them [00:15:04] a month or two and then forgetting about them. Whatever the timing [00:15:07] is, things should happen according to that timing. [00:15:11] If the state, the federation, [00:15:14] the people have trusted you, it is because [00:15:17] you deliver and show the difference between the past and today. [00:15:21] If you cannot show the difference, [00:15:24] then there will be no difference between you, us, and the past. So, [00:15:27] therefore, because these people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially those who [00:15:31] have been victims of terrorism, and the very first point [00:15:34] we have is definitely our law and order, [00:15:38] our extremism and terrorism. And on that, [00:15:41] there are no two opinions on how our support [00:15:49] or with other intelligence agencies will be. There is no compromise on that, because first [00:15:53] there is peace, and after that come other things, development, [00:15:56] things. On that, we will definitely, when you spend [00:16:00] a few days in your ministries, [00:16:06] we will also have meetings on it. You can also give suggestions, what good suggestions [00:16:10] are there, we can continue them, there are good [00:16:15] we should not discriminate against any province, saying that [00:16:19] if this thing is in Punjab, or this thing is in Sindh, or this thing [00:16:22] is in Balochistan, I cannot copy it. We can definitely copy good things, [00:16:26] we can improve them. Our good things, maybe they will copy [00:16:30] them, but it will not be that if Punjab is doing this work, I am not doing it. If [00:16:34] Sindh is doing this work, or Balochistan is doing this work, I am not doing this work. We [00:16:38] also have to follow that, and we also have to do things that maybe they will follow us. We have to look at this [00:16:42] target, what kind of things we should do, because [00:16:45] always about us, whenever we go to any corner of Pakistan, [00:16:49] wherever we go in the world, when we say we are from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the first [00:16:53] question we are asked is about extremism and terrorism. So, let that not [00:16:56] be the case. We have to build a soft image. We have [00:17:00] many natural resources that Allah has given us. [00:17:03] We are the province that produces the most gas and oil. [00:17:06] We are the second or third largest gas-producing province. [00:17:10] We have abundant water. [00:17:13] We have cheap electricity. We have mines and mills. [00:17:16] We have tourism. We have [00:17:20] tourism. We have tobacco. Under one [00:17:23] umbrella, we have a lot of things. Which perhaps no other province has so many things. [00:17:26] So, this is an opportunity for us that if [00:17:30] the first thing is peace. If peace comes, then you will have tourists [00:17:34] coming. You will have investors coming. [00:18:43] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. My dear brave, [00:18:47] patriotic, and proud people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Assalamu [00:18:50] Alaikum. Today, I am addressing you not as the Governor [00:18:54] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but as a colleague who [00:18:57] understands the sorrows of this province, its [00:19:01] difficulties, and the hopes of its [00:19:04] people. [00:19:06] Today, in the country, and especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, [00:19:10] in view of an unusual situation, some necessary [00:19:14] measures have been taken under the constitution. [00:19:16] In today's discussion, [00:19:19] I do not want to engage in political debate or [00:19:23] blame games. My message is only [00:19:26] one: to bring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa back [00:19:29] to peace, stability, and development. [00:19:33] My brothers and [00:19:36] sisters, the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:19:39] have paid a very heavy price for terrorism. [00:19:43] We have seen our brave police officers, soldiers, [00:19:46] Levis personnel, government [00:19:49] employees, scholars, teachers, [00:19:53] traders, and ordinary citizens make sacrifices. [00:19:57] Mothers have lost their sons, [00:20:00] children have lost their parents, families have lost their loved [00:20:04] ones. Now the time has come that after these [00:20:08] sacrifices, the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should be given [00:20:12] the right to peace. Our war is against [00:20:15] terrorism. Our war is against [00:20:18] that ideology, that network, and that environment [00:20:21] that fosters terrorism, [00:20:24] because of which it thrives. It gets facilitation, and [00:20:28] the rule of law weakens. [00:20:31] And I want to say this with full clarity. [00:20:35] چاہتا ہوں۔ [00:20:54] They will be rid of terrorists and will be given an environment where their children can go to school without fear, [00:20:58] do business, travel, [00:21:00] and dream of their future. [00:21:04] My first priority will be peace [00:21:07] and the protection of the people. At this time, our [00:21:10] biggest priority is effective and coordinated action against terrorism. [00:21:14] For this purpose, the capacity of police and CTD [00:21:18] should be increased. Full [00:21:21] attention will be given to providing [00:21:25] necessary resources, training, technology, intelligence support, [00:21:29] and modern anti-terrorism capabilities to the [00:21:32] police. We want that a [00:21:35] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police officer should not be [00:21:39] alone in front of a terrorist. The state should [00:21:42] stand behind him. We will not leave our police martyrs and [00:21:46] their families alone either. [00:21:49] The second important priority is to improve [00:21:52] the writ of the [00:21:55] state in the insurgency-affected districts. [00:21:59] My brothers and sisters in those areas, [00:22:03] you have endured the most difficulties. Terrorism, [00:22:06] displacement, lack of basic facilities, and prolonged [00:22:10] deprivation have made your lives difficult [00:22:14] and challenging. Now our focus [00:22:17] will be on ensuring that these [00:22:21] are not just part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on the map, but also [00:22:24] have equal share in development, education, health, [00:22:28] employment, roads, electricity, water, and administrative facilities. [00:22:33] that where deprivation is greater, there [00:22:36] attention should be greater. My third priority [00:22:39] will be to provide services to the people. The real [00:22:43] test of the government [00:22:45] is not [00:22:48] statements, but the facilities provided to the people. [00:22:51] Our focus will be on the effective provision of government hospitals, [00:22:55] schools, roads, municipal facilities, [00:22:58] health, education, employment, justice, [00:23:01] and basic [00:23:04] services. An ordinary citizen should not have [00:23:08] to go to offices to get his legitimate work [00:23:11] done. The state is for the citizen, [00:23:16] for the state. We will work towards making the administration [00:23:20] accountable and empowered. [00:23:23] The last but most important priority will be the elimination [00:23:26] of the entire ecosystem of terrorism. [00:23:29] We cannot solve the problem by only targeting [00:23:33] terrorists. The facilitation, [00:23:36] financial assistance, recruitment, [00:23:40] extremism, extremist networks, [00:23:43] illegal weapons, drugs, illegal movement, [00:23:47] and other supportive [00:23:51] systems behind terrorism must also be eliminated according to the law. [00:23:54] Effective implementation of the National Action Plan and all relevant measures [00:23:57] against terrorism will be our [00:24:01] priority. [00:24:04] Whoever commits terrorism, the law will take action [00:24:07] against them. Whoever facilitates, [00:24:11] the law will reach them too. This [00:24:14] action will not be against [00:24:17] any nation, language, region, or political affiliation. [00:24:21] It will be only and solely against lawless elements. [00:24:24] My youth, [00:24:27] you are the future of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [00:24:31] You do not want a future of terrorism, [00:24:34] violence, and deprivation. You want a society [00:24:37] with education, employment, sports fields, [00:24:40] technology, business opportunities, where you can [00:24:44] fulfill your dreams. We will not let your dreams [00:24:48] perish in the shadow of terrorism. [00:24:51] It is the responsibility of the state to give [00:24:54] the youth not guns, [00:24:57] but pens, books, skills, [00:25:00] employment, and hope. My elders, mothers, [00:25:05] I especially want to say to those mothers who lost their sons [00:25:08] in the war against terrorism, your [00:25:12] sacrifices will not be in vain. Your sons [00:25:18] لئے جان دی۔ [00:25:21] It is our responsibility to transform their sacrifice into peace, [00:25:24] stability, and a better future. [00:25:28] We assure these families that the state has not [00:25:32] forgotten them. I want to assure the people [00:25:36] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that the purpose of this extraordinary [00:25:39] administrative measure is not to target any political party, any individual, or any [00:25:43] group. The purpose is only [00:25:47] one: to make state institutions effective. [00:25:50] To restore the rule of law, to eliminate terrorism, [00:25:53] and to provide peace and facilities [00:25:56] to the people. Whoever [00:25:59] remains within the bounds of the law, they will be given [00:26:03] full protection. [00:26:06] The fundamental rights of every citizen will be respected, and state [00:26:10] measures will proceed according to the constitution and law. [00:26:13] My dear countrymen, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is our home. [00:26:17] This is the land that gave brave soldiers to Pakistan, [00:26:21] police martyrs, great scholars, [00:26:24] teachers, doctors, engineers, traders, [00:26:27] players, and hardworking people. We will not [00:26:31] let this land remain a land of fear. [00:26:34] We will make it a land of peace. [00:26:38] We will make it a land of development. We will make it a land [00:26:42] of opportunities. And above all, we will make [00:26:46] it a safe, stable, and prosperous [00:26:49] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to the aspirations of its people. [00:26:53] I seek cooperation from all of you, and [00:26:57] to shoulder with all of you to restore peace [00:27:01] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I will spare no [00:27:04] effort to rebuild it. My request [00:27:07] to you is to report any suspicious activity, [00:27:10] terrorism, or facilitation [00:27:13] in your surroundings to the relevant [00:27:16] authorities. Support your police. Remember [00:27:20] your martyrs. And give hope [00:27:24] to your children. And above all, believe in the future [00:27:27] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The challenges are great. But [00:27:31] our resolve is even greater. Inshallah, [00:27:34] peace will return to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Inshallah, [00:27:38] the writ of the state will be strengthened. Inshallah, [00:27:41] the future of our youth will be safe and bright. [00:27:44] And Inshallah, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will once again [00:27:48] move towards peace, development, and [00:27:51] prosperity. Long live Pakistan! Long live Khyber [00:27:55] Pakhtunkhwa! [00:27:58] Just for your information, I would also like to add that [00:28:02] what we have spoken today and what I have told [00:28:06] you, an Apex Committee meeting is also going to be held tomorrow, [00:28:09] so on that also, I think [00:28:12] my staff has your numbers, so when the committee meeting [00:28:16] takes place tomorrow, you will be informed about it in due course of time, [00:28:20] regarding the time and exact schedule, so we will [00:28:24] also attend that tomorrow and after [00:28:27] that, whatever is next, Inshallah, and tomorrow is definitely Monday too, so you will be [00:28:31] resuming. [00:29:33] from dictatorship to democracy, [00:29:35] from sit-ins, [00:29:39] protests, and detained judges [00:29:43] to an independent judiciary. [00:29:45] From deep waters [00:29:48] to snow-capped mountains, [00:29:52] the highest plateau in the world, this journalistic [00:29:55] journey has covered every corner. [00:29:59] खाک'.
