[00:00:23] In these circumstances, water is now over our heads,
[00:00:27] and do you want to play this
[00:00:30] game again and again and completely incapacitate and destroy
[00:00:34] Pakistan? This will not happen. The law will take its course.
[00:00:37] In
[00:00:46] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a state of emergency and Governor's Rule have been imposed. President
[00:00:50] Asif Ali Zardari issued the decree. Prime Minister Shehbaz
[00:00:53] Sharif said, "If not now, then never. The water has gone over our heads.
[00:00:57] Now it's time for a decision." It is
[00:01:00] the duty of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to fight against the Federation. The Pakistan Armed Forces
[00:01:04] are picking out terrorists and sending them to hell.
[00:01:07] But the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is silent instead of challenging
[00:01:11] the terrorists. The Prime Minister said
[00:01:14] But it is a matter that sincere talks were held with the PTI. The KP government made
[00:01:16] a nefarious plan to attack Islamabad. They want to take Pakistan
[00:01:21] office holders to the brink of destruction again. We cannot remain silent spectators to anti-nationalism.
[00:01:25] The law will take its course in all circumstances. According
[00:01:29] to the presidential decree of emergency, the current situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:01:33] has gone out of the provincial government's control. After the President's signature,
[00:01:36] the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government became inactive.
[00:01:49] The federal government, the President of the state, staying within
[00:01:53] the ambit of the constitution, another
[00:01:57] attempt was made yesterday. Despite that.
[00:02:30] After that, the provincial government was made inactive. The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was given
[00:02:34] the authority to take charge of the province. An 11-member advisory council
[00:02:37] was formed to assist the Governor. A secretariat was established
[00:02:41] for 12 districts severely affected by terrorism.
[00:02:44] Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar's press briefing. He said
[00:02:48] that under Article 245, an order has also been issued to deploy
[00:02:52] the armed forces in KP to assist the Governor. The Law Minister said that such
[00:02:56] are suffering casualties in it. PTI says measures are not taken happily. The power to declare emergency
[00:02:59] was used for the national interest and security.
[00:03:03] According to Azam Nazeer Tarar, the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa told
[00:03:06] the federal government very alarming things. The most alarming thing
[00:03:10] is that incidents of terrorism have increased by almost 200 percent.
[00:03:13] The
[00:03:20] entire leadership has made every possible effort to prevent this situation.
[00:03:23] You must ask them who were the people
[00:03:27] who were their masterminds, who were sabotaging
[00:03:31] everything. We just wanted to board them on the basis of terrorism,
[00:03:35] that if they come with us on this, it would be very good, and believe me, if
[00:03:38] that agreement had happened that day, this situation would not have existed today. Even after that,
[00:03:42] if they had agreed last night, this would not have happened.
[00:03:46] You can stage a sit-in as much as you want. We have no issue
[00:03:49] with the sit-in. Our entire issue
[00:03:52] is terrorism. Multiple meetings were held with Suhail Afridi sahib,
[00:03:56] and in them, our only topic was terrorism.
[00:04:00] There was no political discussion, and our goal was
[00:04:03] to somehow bring them on board and to bring clarity
[00:04:07] to this war at least. Federal
[00:04:10] Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that they kept trying continuously
[00:04:13] for more than a month to bring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on board.
[00:04:17] He was personally in contact with them
[00:04:21] in the background. Suhail Afridi used to meet us secretly.
[00:04:24] He was hesitant to take pictures. He himself used to say that you
[00:04:28] are doing a very good job.
[00:05:08] reasons for it, one reason
[00:06:42] He said the time has come to make the province a cradle of peace. It is the state's responsibility to
[00:06:46] ensure peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The capacity
[00:06:49] of the police and CTD will be enhanced against terrorism.
[00:06:53] We will bring transparency in education, health, justice, and other sectors
[00:06:56] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. There is zero tolerance
[00:06:59] for corruption.
[00:07:06] In the federal cabinet meeting, reports from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police
[00:07:10] and sensitive security were presented.
[00:08:12] the imposition of Governor's Rule and emergency in 12 districts of the province, including the former FATA,
[00:08:16] has been announced, which is the sixth time in the last 55 years
[00:08:19] that Governor's Rule has been imposed in a province.
[00:08:23] Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party President Asif Ali Zardari has achieved
[00:08:27] the distinction of making a hat-trick of imposing Governor's Rule in all three provinces
[00:08:31] of the country except Sindh, because before this,
[00:08:34] President Zardari himself had approved the imposition of Governor's Rule in Punjab
[00:08:38] in 2009 and in Balochistan in 2013. This morning, the federal
[00:09:12] which will work under Governor KP Faisal Karim Kundi, includes
[00:09:16] all technocrats except female member Samar Haroon Bilour.
[00:09:19] Besides this, after the decisions made today, Sohail
[00:09:23] Afridi and his cabinet have been declared inactive, while Sohail
[00:09:26] Afridi and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's provincial president Junaid Akbar Khan, along with other
[00:09:30] leaders, have also been taken into custody. Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has strongly
[00:09:34] condemned these decisions. The important thing is that this morning
[00:09:37] the federal cabinet approved Governor's Rule in KP,
[00:09:41] after which Prime Minister Shehbaz
[00:10:12] Didn't the KP government or the Chief Minister have the decency
[00:10:16] to at least not condemn the terrorists whose children are being martyred,
[00:10:19] whose daughters have been orphaned,
[00:10:23] and sons have been orphaned? Pakistan was watered with their blood.
[00:10:27] They didn't express any sympathy for them, didn't say
[00:10:31] two words for them. They didn't say a single word, and the
[00:10:34] conversation that is being held at this time
[00:10:37] is unspeakable. Such words, such
[00:10:41] obscenities that cannot come to anyone's tongue, so I think
[00:10:44] in these circumstances, water is now passing over our heads.
[00:10:48] We need to address this today, this whole picture
[00:10:52] that I have presented before you.
[00:11:06] After Governor's Rule in the province, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, provincial ministers,
[00:11:09] provincial ministers, advisors, and Advocate General have been made inactive.
[00:11:13] An 11-member advisory council has been established to run the provincial system.
[00:11:16] Under Article 245, an order has also been issued
[00:11:20] for the deployment of the army to assist the provincial government. When matters
[00:11:24] of Article 232 arise, we call it an emergency,
[00:11:27] and when matters of Article 234 arise, we call
[00:11:31] it Governor's Rule, but the circumstances were such that both
[00:11:35] these provisions were exercised in the proclamation. The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:11:38] provincial ministers, advisors, special
[00:11:41] assistants, Advocate General, and many other constitutional
[00:11:46] have been immediately made inactive. The Governor
[00:11:50] has been authorized by the Federation to exercise the powers
[00:11:54] of the provincial government that have been delegated to him,
[00:11:58] which the constitution allows, and for this, an 11-member
[00:12:02] advisory council has been proposed
[00:12:05] through a subsequent order. Under the second order,
[00:12:09] a secretariat has been established for the 12 districts
[00:12:13] that are almost in a state of war, between the Governor Sahib and the Chief Secretary Sahib
[00:12:17] in this way by the federal government,
[00:12:20] which is
[00:12:24] also.
[00:13:25] I told them to tell us the changes, but I didn't get any reply
[00:13:29] all day. Even last night, if they had said yes, this wouldn't have happened.
[00:13:32] You must ask them who were the people
[00:13:36] who were their masterminds, who were sabotaging everything.
[00:13:40] If terrorism is increasing by 145 percent in
[00:13:43] almost a year and a half,
[00:13:47] then it's not a small thing.
[00:13:51] And the martyrdoms have also increased by almost
[00:13:53] 113% in 31 months. 518
[00:13:57] policemen have been martyred in the last year
[00:14:00] and a half, from January 2024. There are 12 districts
[00:14:04] where the situation is very bad. In some
[00:14:07] districts, people cannot even go out in the evening, those who live there.
[00:14:11] Now, during the negotiations, they agreed with us
[00:14:14] that yes, emergency should be imposed here. We are with you because the situation there
[00:14:18] is such that these 12 districts can be normalized.
[00:14:21] It's on record. I said, how much money in
[00:15:25] his statement, condemned the imposition of emergency and said that there is still
[00:15:28] time to revoke this decision in a few days. The
[00:15:32] Federation should let go of its ego, understand the ground realities, and save the country
[00:15:36] from further political and economic damage and the democratic process from being pushed back. The important thing is
[00:15:39] that while in the past, during dictatorships, emergency and Governor's Rule were imposed in provinces,
[00:15:43] in democratic eras too, Governor's Rule has been imposed multiple times in all four provinces.
[00:15:47] And the important thing is that often
[00:15:51] Governor's Rule has been imposed by presidents or prime ministers belonging to the People's Party.
[00:15:54] If we look at the history of Pakistan from 1973 until today,
[00:15:58] the first Governor's Rule was imposed in Balochistan
[00:16:01] on February 13, 1973, by Prime Minister Zulfiqar
[00:16:05] Ali Bhutto, when he dismissed the government of National Awami Party's Chief Minister
[00:16:09] Sardar Ataullah Mengal and imposed Governor's Rule. During Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's prime ministership,
[00:16:13] the second Governor's Rule in Balochistan was imposed
[00:16:17] in December 1975. In February 1975, after the martyrdom
[00:16:20] of former Frontier Minister Hayat Mohammad Sherpao
[00:16:23] and the ban on the National Awami Party, Governor's Rule was imposed.
[00:16:27] Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto imposed Governor's Rule
[00:16:30] in the former Frontier in February 1994, while in October
[00:16:34] 1998, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
[00:22:50] I sit with your people all day, I know with what intention you are asking questions.
[00:22:53] After that, November 25
[00:22:57] also happened meaning such
[00:23:01] resignations happened, assemblies broke up. We
[00:23:03] are not asked if you take an action
[00:23:07] whether Governor's Rule will last for six months, a year and a half, or two years. What is the intention behind it? You will tell,
[00:23:10] what is your intention? Look, I am telling you that my intention
[00:23:14] is evident from my track record, that if it had to be imposed,
[00:23:17] there were many such political protests or events that
[00:23:20] at that time it was not political. Okay.
[00:23:24] Here all
[00:23:27] the conditions of 232
[00:23:29] and 234 unfortunately
[00:23:33] meet. Okay?
[00:23:36] There is no disagreement on the point of terrorism, that the numbers
[00:23:40] you mentioned are absolutely correct. We are also seeing that law enforcement agencies
[00:23:46] that your objective is not to eliminate terrorism, but to eliminate us. You say it's not a political
[00:23:50] issue, but tell me one thing, today's data was also two and a half years old,
[00:23:53] but what is the reason that when the emergency was imposed,
[00:23:57] the narrative started forming at the same time when only two days were left for the long march,
[00:24:00] meaning the first long march was happening on September 27th, the narrative was formed from the 25th
[00:24:04] that they are facilitators of terrorists. In fact, I remember that on the 24th,
[00:24:07] Mohsin Naqvi sahib held a press conference in which he did not mention terrorism
[00:24:11] but said that they would settle it once and for all. So PTI says you are not eliminating terrorism,
[00:24:15] you are eliminating us. How long has CM KP been? Has it been a year?
[00:24:18] More than a year? Yes?
[00:25:50] Believe me, Shahzad sahib, as a political worker,
[00:25:53] why am I sad that this failed? The two biggest
[00:25:58] is that politicians write everything, all the political demands.
[00:26:32] They themselves are saying that you had allowed meetings with lawyers
[00:26:36] and family. Yes, what they were asking for,
[00:26:40] what they wanted, more than that was being
[00:26:43] given in writing, and at the highest level, when
[00:26:47] the Interior Minister went and briefed the Prime Minister of Pakistan
[00:26:50] on Sunday, and he said that they have agreed
[00:26:54] to cooperate on the issue of terrorism,
[00:26:57] the Prime Minister said whatever political space,
[00:27:00] concession, and room there is,
[00:27:04] and in which we also suffer political damage,
[00:27:08] give it, but take this one, and believe my words, every
[00:27:12] single thing that was a demand of any political party was also given.
[00:27:17] of regret that these people have also put a stain on us politicians
[00:27:21] that we sit together and resolve matters. This was very unfortunate that politicians sat after a long time,
[00:27:24] but no result came out. But
[00:27:27] Fazal said one thing today in a press conference. I will listen to it now,
[00:27:30] and then please answer it.
[00:27:34] On a conference call, Suhail Afridi sahib, Dur sahib,
[00:27:37] Shahram Khan, Asad Qaiser sahib, I spoke with them,
[00:27:40] and I asked them to tell me in principle
[00:27:43] whether they are ready to end the long march or not.
[00:27:47] They said that if our demands are accepted,
[00:27:50] then we are ready to end the long march. Since the Prime Minister
[00:27:54] goes to bed early and wakes up early in the morning,
[00:27:57] I went to him at 6 AM and told him
[00:28:01] that if they are ready in principle for this, that they will end
[00:28:05] the long march, then you also agree with me
[00:28:08] that they will meet and Imran Khan will also be brought
[00:28:12] for treatment. Then, leave the arrangements
[00:28:15] to us. We will implement it from both sides. On this,
[00:28:19] he said, "Okay." He also said that there is a cabinet meeting
[00:28:22] today, and before that, we will reach some conclusion.
[00:28:26] This suggestion also came that if necessary,
[00:28:29] we will hold the cabinet meeting in the morning instead of
[00:29:02] extensive consultations for about an hour
[00:29:05] and fifteen minutes. After that, Maulana sahib was contacted again, and what Maulana
[00:29:09] sahib is saying, I have been witnessing this for two days myself,
[00:29:13] and the very first thing is that negotiations took place on the first day.
[00:29:17] The Interior Minister said that he told them that either the Chief Minister himself should come or his representative
[00:29:20] should come. All the PTI people said that they came
[00:29:24] with responsibility and full authority. Then he said, "No, brother,
[00:29:28] you do it again on Saturday." The negotiations of the first day,
[00:29:32] the next day,
[00:30:32] With that, the thing is, look, if they had made up their mind,
[00:30:36] if they had made up their mind, if there was another option,
[00:30:39] then the funerals of so many martyrs, the Prime Minister
[00:30:43] and the Army Chief would not have carried them on their shoulders. Shahzad, have you
[00:30:46] ever seen that someone's wedding was a week ago, he was an only
[00:30:50] son, he was the only brother of four sisters,
[00:30:54] and to carry the funerals of these young people every day, is this easy?
[00:30:58] And this is the point.
