[00:00:13] point agenda
[00:01:06] Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar said that the emergency power was used
[00:01:10] for national interest and security. Such steps are not taken
[00:01:13] happily. Interior Minister Mohsin said that for a month they were trying to bring
[00:01:17] the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on board. They were in contact with PTI leaders until 12 AM.
[00:01:21] If they had agreed last night, the decisions made today
[00:01:24] would not have happened.
[00:01:53] let others get beaten up, you take care of them.
[00:01:55] I want to ask you, sir, wear it,
[00:01:59] put it on, what does it mean? Is it a party
[00:03:38] the regrettable thing is
[00:03:42] have also put a stain on us politicians
[00:03:52] authorized by the Federation
[00:04:23] for this matter
[00:05:14] Pakistan and I am Shahzad Iqbal. After several days of
[00:05:17] speculations, claims, and ifs and buts, the federal government today finally
[00:05:20] announced the imposition of Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:05:24] and an emergency in 12 districts of the province, including the former PATA.
[00:05:28] This is the sixth time in the last 55 years that Governor's Rule
[00:05:31] has been imposed in a province. Meanwhile, Asif Ali Zardari,
[00:05:34] the president of the Pakistan Peoples Party, has earned the distinction that he
[00:05:38] has done so in the country, except for Sindh. We can
[00:07:19] still talk to you, but they didn't give any positive response.
[00:07:23] Today, the KP government or the Chief Minister
[00:07:26] didn't even bother to condemn the terrorists,
[00:07:30] whose children are being martyred, whose daughters have
[00:07:33] become orphans, whose sons have become orphans,
[00:07:37] who have nurtured Pakistan with their blood. They didn't express any sympathy
[00:07:41] for them, they didn't say a word for them, not a single word
[00:07:44] and the conversation that is being
[00:07:47] held at this time is inexpressible,
[00:07:51] such expletives that cannot be uttered.
[00:07:54] So I think that in these circumstances,
[00:07:58] water is now flowing over the head. We need to talk about this. In the month of Aza,
[00:08:02] I have presented this entire
[00:08:06] picture to you. I believe that
[00:08:09] this is never. Besides this, Federal Law Minister
[00:08:12] Azam Nazir Tarar, in a press conference, while talking about the legal aspects of Governor's Rule
[00:08:16] and emergency, said that after Governor's Rule in the province, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:08:20] government, provincial ministers, ministerial aides, and the Advocate General
[00:08:24] have been deactivated. A 11-member advisory council has been established to run
[00:08:27] the provincial system. An order has also been issued for the deployment of the army
[00:08:31] to assist the provincial government under Article 245.
[00:08:34] When matters of Article 232 arise, we say it's an emergency,
[00:08:38] and when matters of 234 arise, we say it's Governor's Rule.
[00:08:42] But the situation was such that both these provisions
[00:08:45] were exercised. In the proclamation,
[00:08:48] the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, provincial ministers,
[00:08:51] advisors, aides, special advocate general, and
[00:08:54] many other constitutional office bearers were immediately
[00:08:58] deactivated. The Governor has been
[00:09:04] to exercise the powers of the provincial government
[00:09:08] that have been delegated to him, which the Constitution permits.
[00:09:11] And for this, through a subsequent order,
[00:09:15] an 11-member advisory council
[00:09:19] has been proposed. Under the second order,
[00:09:23] for the 12 districts which are almost in a state of war,
[00:09:27] under the Governor and the Chief Secretary, the Federal Government
[00:09:30] has established a secretariat that will directly
[00:09:34] oversee these 12 districts.
[00:09:37] In this, an ADC,
[00:09:40] a council, has been established
[00:09:44] that will handle all matters.
[00:09:46] An officer of Additional Chief Secretary level
[00:09:50] will serve as the Administrator. Meanwhile, Federal Interior Minister Mohsin
[00:09:54] Naqvi claimed in a press conference that backdoor negotiations with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:09:57] were ongoing until last night. If they had agreed last night,
[00:10:01] this situation would not have arisen. Last night, negotiations
[00:10:05] were sabotaged once again, after which the government was forced
[00:10:08] to make this difficult decision. After terrorism in the province, whether
[00:10:25] it is treatment, everything was happening before the long march date was announced.
[00:10:28] Last night, until 12 AM, I was in contact
[00:10:32] with PTI leaders. I told them about the para four
[00:10:35] of the draft, that they should tell us the changes.
[00:10:39] There was no reply from them all day. If they had said yes last night,
[00:10:43] this would not have happened. You must ask them
[00:10:47] who those people were who were their masterminds
[00:10:50] who were sabotaging everything.
[00:10:52] 195%
[00:12:55] However, in the past, during democratic eras, Governor's Rule has been imposed in all four provinces.
[00:12:58] The important thing is that Governor's Rule has often been imposed by Presidents
[00:13:02] or Prime Ministers belonging to the People's Party. If we look at the history of Pakistan from 1973
[00:13:05] to today, the first Governor's Rule was imposed in Balochistan
[00:13:09] on February 13, 1973, by Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
[00:13:13] when he dismissed the government of National Awami Party's Chief Minister Sardar
[00:13:17] Ataullah Mengal and imposed Governor's Rule.
[00:13:20] It was during Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's premiership that
[00:13:24] Governor's Rule was again
[00:14:25] imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We will discuss this entire situation.
[00:14:29] First, we will know the position of the government, and we are
[00:14:32] joined by State Minister for Interior, Dilawar
[00:14:35] Chaudhry. Thank you very much for joining, Mr. Dilawar. Today's briefing
[00:14:39] to you or the reports given in the cabinet stated that
[00:14:43] in two and a half years, terrorism incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa increased
[00:14:46] by 195%, due to which Articles 232 and
[00:14:50] 234 have been applied today. Their enforcement has been done. Please tell us,
[00:14:54] when you made this decision, what was your target in mind?
[00:14:57] If there is terrorism, how soon will you control it? Emergency has been imposed
[00:15:01] in 12 districts. When will the emergency end there? What target have you set
[00:15:05] for yourselves? In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Look, the target is
[00:15:08] only one, that terrorism must end,
[00:15:12] and for that, we will certainly try
[00:15:15] to do it as soon as possible. Today, the Interior Minister,
[00:15:19] when asked under similar pressure, said fully.
[00:15:23] It is not
[00:15:37] and we have not come here with
[00:15:41] the intention that we have to leave any
[00:15:44] political footprints or any
[00:15:47] just one
[00:15:50] that terrorism which has grown
[00:15:53] so much due to the inefficiency, incompetence and clownishness
[00:15:57] of the provincial government and
[00:16:01] they were using it for their political motives
[00:16:05] and they thought that this
[00:20:08] happened here on November 25. That is,
[00:20:10] such things were used, assemblies were dissolved.
[00:20:14] You take a step. If you take a step,
[00:20:17] you won't be asked whether Governor's Rule will last six months,
[00:20:21] a year and a half, or two years. What is the intention behind it? Look,
[00:20:24] I am telling you, my intention is evident from my track
[00:20:28] record that if it had to be imposed, many such political
[00:20:32] protests or events came up when it was.
[00:20:36] The thing
[00:20:50] is, there is no disagreement that the numbers you mentioned are absolutely correct.
[00:20:54] We are also seeing that law enforcement agencies and civilians are being martyred in it. PTI says
[00:20:57] that your aim is not to end terrorism, but to end us. You say that
[00:21:01] it is not a political issue, but please tell me that even today, the data given was for two and a half years,
[00:21:05] but why is it that when the emergency was imposed,
[00:21:09] the narrative started to be built only when two days were left in the long march? That is, on September
[00:21:12] 27, the long march was happening. From the 25th, the narrative was built that they are facilitators of terrorists.
[00:21:16] In fact, I remember that even on the 24th, Mohsin Naqvi sahib, in the press conference he held,
[00:21:20] did not mention terrorism, but he did say that they would settle it once
[00:21:24] and for all. So PTI says no, they are ending us. How long has
[00:21:28] the same KP been formed? It's been a year, more than a year. Yes, okay.
[00:21:31] Multiple meetings of the Interior
[00:21:35] Minister are on only one point, on one
[00:21:38] agenda, that national elections should come, we have to
[00:21:41] do everything together. Everything has been offered. Everything.
[00:21:45] And on this, you constantly believe
[00:21:48] that.
[00:22:20] is the Chief Minister, then why wasn't the decision made earlier? That is, four months ago, three months ago,
[00:22:24] two months ago, if you make the decision of emergency only at the time of the long march, then this question
[00:22:27] will arise, right? That okay, what you are talking about security is there, but are you using it as a justification
[00:22:31] and the real issue is political? Look, I am telling you,
[00:22:35] you exhaust all options first.
[00:22:38] Right? First, they tried to resolve matters directly with the CM
[00:22:42] and the KP government. They didn't resolve.
[00:22:46] The backdoor talks with their leadership were.
[00:22:55] Believe me, Shehzad
[00:22:57] Sahib,
[00:23:03] as a political worker, I am sad because
[00:23:06] it failed. There are two
[00:23:10] that politicians
[00:23:13] at our level could not resolve such a matter of national interest
[00:23:17] at the table. And what is the second regret? Whatever
[00:23:50] they were asking for, whatever they wanted, more than that
[00:23:54] was being given in writing, and at the highest level,
[00:23:58] when the Prime Minister of Pakistan was briefed by the Interior
[00:24:01] Minister on Sunday, and he said that they had agreed
[00:24:05] that they would cooperate on the issue of terrorism.
[00:24:09] The Prime Minister said that whatever
[00:24:12] political space, concession, opportunity
[00:24:16] there is, and in which we also suffer political
[00:24:20] loss, take it, but take this one. And believe my words, everything
[00:24:24] that was the demand of any political party, but
[00:24:28] that these people
[00:24:32] that we sit together and resolve matters. This was very unfortunate that politicians sat together after a long time,
[00:24:36] but no result came out. But Fazlur Rehman sahib said something today in a press conference.
[00:24:39] I will let you hear it now, and then please answer it. Yes.
[00:24:43] On a conference call, Suhail Afridi Sahib, Governor Sahib,
[00:24:47] Shahram Khan, Asad Qaiser Sahib, I talked to them
[00:24:51] and I asked them to tell me in principle
[00:24:54] whether they are ready to end the long march or not.
[00:24:58] They said that if our demands are accepted,
[00:25:01] they are ready to end it. The Prime Minister Sahib goes to sleep early
[00:25:05] and wakes up early in the morning. And I went to him at six o'clock
[00:25:08] and I told him that if he is ready in principle
[00:25:13] that he will end the long march, then you also agree
[00:25:17] with me now that his meeting will also
[00:25:21] happen and Imran Khan will also be brought for treatment. Then after that, leave
[00:25:24] the sequence to us, we will implement both of them.
[00:25:27] On this, he said that okay, he also
[00:25:31] said that today there is a cabinet meeting, and before
[00:25:35] that we will reach some conclusion. This proposal also
[00:25:38] came that if needed, we will hold the cabinet meeting
[00:25:41] in the evening instead of the morning. At 10:30, Ishaq Dar sahib's
[00:25:45] call came and he said that the sense of the cabinet is forming
[00:25:49] that.
[00:26:32] PTI people said we have come with responsibility and full
[00:26:36] authority. Then he said, no, brother, you do it again.
[00:26:39] First day's negotiations on Saturday. The next day,
[00:26:43] he went to Peshawar the same evening. He went to Peshawar
[00:26:46] and met the Chief Minister, met his entire team. He said that
[00:26:50] they are on board. After that, when he came on Sunday,
[00:26:54] they were on board and after that, talks on political matters escalated,
[00:26:57] and finally a draft was prepared. The point is
[00:27:01] that Maulana sahib has not seen their conduct yet,
[00:27:05] his position is that from noon to evening, how much time passes. It seems
[00:27:09] that you had already made up your mind and to complete the argument, you involved Maulana sahib.
[00:27:12] The request is that they keep changing the goalposts. We
[00:27:16] assured them of this more than once, but
[00:27:20] ifs and buts were added. A deliberate
[00:27:23] atmosphere was created so that there would be no consensus.
[00:27:27] What did we want? That you call a terrorist a terrorist?
[00:27:30] You openly support us.
[00:27:57] that someone was married a week ago, someone was an only son, someone was
[00:28:01] the only brother of four sisters, and to carry these young coffins
[00:28:04] everyday is not easy. And this, and this
[00:28:07] talk, and this talk for the last two
[00:28:11] and a half years, this government has been continuously trying. Talal sahib, now
[00:28:17] or especially of security, you people have taken upon yourselves. Now,
[00:28:20] if peace comes, people will benefit, the province will benefit, which is very good.
[00:28:24] It's excellent. But if you people
[00:28:27] cannot control the security situation and law and order, and the
[00:28:31] obviously mandated government
[00:29:32] there is no shortage. If there is a shortage,
[00:29:35] then the government, the political forces, should stand behind it.
[00:29:39] And look, they were in power there, but they were not giving resources
[00:29:43] to the security forces, nor were they giving political leadership.
[00:29:46] And they were deliberately doing so. People did not
[00:29:50] come out. Information came that Suhail Afridi has been arrested, Junaid Akbar has been
[00:29:53] arrested. Where are these people?
[00:29:56] Now you will have to ask the Federation.
[00:29:59] Look, some people. And
[00:30:33] there was no tweet that you read
[00:30:36] this morning. This tweet
[00:30:39] about negotiations. If Maulana says,
[00:30:42] if you show,
[00:30:45] look, if I were sitting there,
[00:30:49] I would request Maulana sahib that this tweet is
[00:30:52] not about negotiations. This tweet is about
[00:30:55] unconditional cooperation on terrorism, and the point is,
