[00:25:05] it, instead of being a complete
[00:25:08] wall against it. It is not
[00:25:12] only silent, but the situation
[00:25:15] is getting worse every day. From
[00:25:19] this group, through the long march, they want to come to Islamabad
[00:25:23] and revive those terrible
[00:25:26] memories when clothes were hung in D-Chowk
[00:25:30] and what kind of spectacle, digging graves. Do they want to destroy
[00:25:33] the country of Pakistan again? Do they want to push
[00:25:37] Pakistan to the brink
[00:25:41] this enmity against Pakistan? After the imposition of emergency
[00:25:44] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by the federal government, large-scale transfers of officers,
[00:25:48] including the Chief Secretary, have also been made. With Sajid Tariq,

[00:25:59] Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar said that after the presidential
[00:26:03] announcement, the provincial government was rendered inactive. The Governor
[00:26:06] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was given the authority to take charge of the province.
[00:26:10] President Zardari took action within the constitution. The power
[00:26:13] to impose an emergency was used for national interest and security.
[00:26:17] Such measures are not taken happily.
[00:26:20] The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa reported very concerning matters to the federation.
[00:26:24] The most alarming thing is that there has been a 196%
[00:26:28] increase in terrorist incidents.
[00:26:29] The
[00:26:34] Governor had some very alarming things
[00:26:38] which he conveyed through a letter
[00:26:41] to the federal government because they are representatives of the federation,
[00:26:44] that if the provincial government
[00:26:48] is being run
[00:26:51] that there is a constitutional breakdown in the province
[00:26:54] and the writ of government is also not visible,
[00:26:58] and instead of correcting it, you are
[00:27:03] prioritizing your politics and the lives and property
[00:27:07] of the people and the welfare of the province
[00:27:10] and what is good
[00:27:12] for Pakistan is being pushed aside.
[00:27:16] Among the few necessary things, one of the most
[00:27:20] alarming things was that in the last two
[00:27:23] to two and a half years, the reported
[00:27:27] incidents of extremism and terrorism have increased
[00:27:30] by 196%. In
[00:27:34] this burning fire, instead
[00:27:37] of sitting together and finding
[00:27:40] a solution and moving forward with resolve, there was reluctance.
[00:27:44] He explained all of that. So in such a situation,
[00:27:48] the federal government, the President,
[00:27:52] within the framework of the constitution,
[00:27:56] made another attempt yesterday.
[00:28:00] that, things remained the same. So
[00:28:03] against this background, today, after detailed consultations,
[00:28:06] the President,
[00:28:10] on the advice of the Prime Minister,
[00:28:13] used the powers given in Article 232
[00:28:17] and Article 234 of the constitution
[00:28:21] to impose an emergency
[00:28:24] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Federal
[00:28:30] that continuous efforts for more than a month.
[00:29:33] You can ask them. Yesterday,
[00:29:36] all day, I told them about
[00:29:39] the draft's para four that if there are any changes
[00:29:43] you want, tell us, and we can discuss them.
[00:29:45] All
[00:29:47] day, there was no response from them. I made the last call at quarter
[00:29:51] to 12 at night, and then I talked to them that
[00:29:55] we still have a chance. We can avoid this whole situation.
[00:29:58] Things have gone too far, but we can still
[00:30:01] do something to delay tomorrow's
[00:30:05] events.
[00:30:06] But
[00:30:10] there was no response from that side. We kept telling them repeatedly,
[00:30:13] especially when I used to talk to them, they used to say repeatedly that we have no problem with the sit-in.
[00:30:17] You can have a sit-in as much as you want.
[00:30:21] We have no issue with the sit-in. Our entire issue is terrorism.
[00:30:24] And we want to bring
[00:30:27] you on board on this. And if you don't,
[00:30:30] then it's not every day. It is
[00:30:34] that we gather from all over Pakistan for a funeral, and
[00:30:37] you don't even come even though you are in this city.
[00:30:41] Because their mindset was something else, their point of view was something else,
[00:30:44] and you must have seen it in their speeches. If they had agreed last night,
[00:30:48] this would not have happened. The entire leadership
[00:30:51] has tried their best to prevent this situation.
[00:30:54] You must ask them who
[00:30:58] were the people who
