[00:00:18] A Pakistani citizen was killed in the attack on King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Sunday.
[00:00:22] 11 other people were also injured in the attack. The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority
[00:00:25] said that the extent of other financial damages caused by the attack
[00:00:29] is being assessed. On Sunday evening, King Fahd Airport
[00:00:32] was also targeted. Flights at King Khalid and King Fahd Airports
[00:00:36] were suspended. Flights at Jeddah Airport were also affected. Earlier,
[00:00:40] the Saudi-led coalition forces announced the destruction of a drone
[00:00:44] besides this, Federal Law Minister Azam in the eastern province. 12 people were killed and 309 injured
[00:00:47] in a missile attack on Riyadh by Yemen's Houthi-majority Ansar Allah organization
[00:00:51] on Saturday. According to officials, among those who died were
[00:00:55] Americans, Saudis, and Bangladeshis.
[00:00:59] They kept trying to bring the
[00:01:31] suspended. The Governor
[00:02:00] government on board.
[00:02:01] The briefing given to you today If the PTI had agreed in the negotiations
[00:02:03] or even on Saturday night, those decisions would not have been made.
[00:02:06] We made the decision out of compulsion.
[00:02:10] with good intentions. Prime Minister's advisor Rana Sana
[00:02:14] said that Governor's Rule and emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:02:18] can be for an indefinite period. Speaking in the program Jarga,
[00:02:22] Rana Sana also said that there would be no major operation.
[00:02:25] No one would be displaced. Intelligence-based operations would continue.
[00:02:29] Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan
[00:02:38] spoke to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Saraki on the phone. According to the Saudi news agency,
[00:02:41] they discussed the recent escalation of tension in the region and efforts
[00:02:45] to reduce it. According to Iranian media,
[00:02:48] Abbas Araqchi told his Saudi counterpart that Iran is ready to facilitate
[00:02:52] talks between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
[00:02:55] This is the first contact between the foreign ministers of both countries
[00:02:58] after the increase in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. Britain has advised its citizens
[00:03:11] terrorism, which
[00:03:16] to avoid unnecessary travel to Jeddah and Dammam.
[00:03:20] They also advised to avoid all airports in Saudi Arabia except Madinah Airport.
[00:03:24] The US has agreed
[00:03:25] to some conditions with Iran,
[00:03:30] but we consider the American response insufficient.
[00:03:34] This is the claim of Mohsen Rezai, Secretary of the Iranian National Security Council.
[00:03:38] He said that the style of Iranian diplomacy has changed
[00:03:41] and now there will be no return to the situation
[00:03:44] before the war. He said that American President Trump,
[00:03:48] who was deluded into thinking that he could conquer Iran,
[00:03:52] started one of the most foolish wars in human history
[00:03:55] by being deceived by Netanyahu. Now, when the American fleet
[00:03:59] has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, they have resorted to smuggling.
[00:04:03] He sarcastically remarked that the American army had never fallen
[00:04:06] to such a humiliating extent. All government and
[00:04:20] private educational institutions in Peshawar district were announced to be closed today.
[00:04:24] According to official sources, all papers of the Bannu Educational Board's
[00:04:28] annual examinations for the second year were also postponed.
[00:05:05] Although there was only one goal,
[00:05:13] Punjab Auto Bus, the name is enough.

[00:06:59] and i think

[00:07:23] society founded on fairness.
[00:09:42] has strongly condemned these decisions. The important thing is that
[00:09:46] this morning, the Federal Cabinet approved Governor's Rule in KP.
[00:09:50] After this, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in his address to the cabinet
[00:09:54] that water has passed over the head. The discussion currently taking place
[00:09:57] is unspeakable. The KP government does not say a word against terrorists.
[00:10:00] Today we have to make a decision. Because history will remember us
[00:10:04] based on our decisions. And
[00:10:07] no. They were informally told to stop their activities.
[00:10:10] Call off this long march, this sit-in, we can still
[00:10:14] talk to you, but they did not give any
[00:10:18] positive response. Today, did the KP government
[00:10:21] or the Chief Minister not have enough decency that
[00:10:25] they didn't condemn the terrorists whose children are being martyred,
[00:10:28] whose daughters have become orphans,
[00:10:32] sons have become orphans, who have irrigated Pakistan with their blood?
[00:10:35] They didn't express any sympathy for them, didn't say two words
[00:10:39] for them, didn't say a single word. And the discussion
[00:10:43] that is taking place right now
[00:10:46] is indescribable, such words,
[00:10:49] such abuses that no one can utter. So I think
[00:10:52] that in these nights, water is now
[00:10:56] flowing over the head. Today in the cabinet,
[00:10:59] I have presented this whole picture
[00:11:03] to you. I think that
[00:11:09] Nazir Tarar, in a press conference, while talking about the legal aspects
[00:11:13] of Governor's Rule and emergency, said that after Governor's Rule in the province,
[00:11:17] the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, provincial ministers, advisors, and
[00:11:21] advocate general have been suspended. To run the system of the province, an order has also been issued
[00:11:27] under Article 245 for the deployment of the army to assist the provincial government.
[00:11:30] When matters under Article 232 arise, we call it an emergency,
[00:11:34] and when matters under 234 arise, we call it Governor's Rule.
[00:11:38] But the situation was such that both these provisions
[00:11:42] were exercised. In the proclamation,
[00:11:45] the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, provincial ministers,
[00:11:48] advisors, assistants, special assistants, advocate general,
[00:11:51] and several other constitutional office holders were immediately
[00:11:56] has been authorized by the Federation to exercise the powers
[00:12:00] of the provincial government that have been delegated to him,
[00:12:04] which the constitution allows. And for this,
[00:12:08] an 11-member advisory council has been proposed
[00:12:11] through a subsequent order. Under the second order,
[00:12:15] for the 12 districts that are almost in a state of war,
[00:12:19] the Federal Government has established a secretariat
[00:12:22] under the Governor and Chief Secretary, which will directly oversee these
[00:12:25] 12 districts. In this,
[00:12:28] an ARDC council has been formed
[00:12:32] that will handle all matters.
[00:12:35] An officer of additional chief secretary level will serve as the administrator,
[00:12:38] while Federal Interior Minister Musa Naqvi claimed in a press conference
[00:12:42] that in about a year and a half,
[00:12:45] this is not a small thing.
[00:12:48] And martyrdoms have also increased by almost 113%
[00:12:52] in 31 months. 518 policemen have been martyred
[00:13:55] in the last year and a half. From January 2024,
[00:13:59] there are 12 districts where the situation is very bad.
[00:14:02] In some districts, people cannot even go out in the evening.
[00:14:05] The residents there, during the negotiations,
[00:14:09] told us that yes, emergency should be imposed here.
[00:14:13] We are with you because the conditions there are such
[00:14:16] that these 12 districts should be normalized.
[00:14:20] It is on record, I said that whatever money
[00:14:24] you lose, we will cover it because this fight is not just yours,
[00:14:27] it is all of ours. This was also an old matter of four months,
[00:14:31] actual work had not started on it yet. They said you are doing a very good thing,
[00:14:35] bringing a very good idea, but that thing could not happen.
[00:14:39] Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi also accused
[00:14:42] Sohail Afridi of sabotaging negotiations last night,
[00:14:46] but JFA claims otherwise. Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman,
[00:14:50] in a press conference today, termed the decisions of Governor's Rule
[00:14:53] and emergency as an attack on democracy, claiming that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:14:57] had agreed to end the long march this morning.
[00:15:01] Their only demand was to arrange a meeting with Imran Khan.
[00:15:05] This morning at Fajr, when contacted, the Prime Minister said
[00:15:09] that we can hold the cabinet meeting in the evening instead of the morning.
[00:15:13] At 9:30 AM, he said that we are going to present
[00:15:16] your suggestions to the cabinet. But at 10:30 AM,
[00:15:20] he said that the cabinet is approving Governor's Rule
[00:15:24] and emergency this very morning. On the other hand, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:15:27] has rejected this move by the federal government. Barrister Gohar, Chairman of Tehreek-e-Insaf,
[00:15:31] condemned the imposition of emergency in his statement in this regard.
[00:15:35] Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto imposed Governor's Rule
[00:16:37] in the former Frontier province in February 1994,
[00:16:41] while in October 1998, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
[00:16:44] imposed Governor's Rule in Sindh due to unrest in Karachi
[00:16:48] after the assassination of Hakeem Saeed. In February 2009,
[00:16:52] Asif Ali Zardari imposed Governor's Rule in Punjab, while
[00:16:56] the last Governor's Rule before today was imposed
[00:16:59] in Balochistan in January 2013 during the People's Party government
[00:17:03] when Asif Ali Zardari took that step by ending
[00:17:06] the government of Chief Minister Nawab Raisani, which he repeatedly
[00:17:10] called an abhorrent and undesirable act.
[00:17:13] However, two days ago, Chairman People's Party Bilawal
[00:17:17] Bhutto Zardari also called it a political atomic bomb,
[00:17:20] but today, once again, with the signature of President Asif Ali Zardari,
[00:17:24] Governor's Rule has been imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa once again.
[00:17:28] We will discuss this entire situation. First, we will hear the government's
[00:17:31] stance, and we are joined by State Minister for Interior Dalal Chaudhry.
[00:17:35] Dalal Sahib, thank you very much for joining us.
[00:17:38] or the reports given in the cabinet stated that in two and a half years,
[00:17:42] there has been a 195% increase in terrorist incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:17:45] due to which Articles 232 and 234 have been applied today.
[00:17:49] Its enforcement has been done. Please tell us, when you made this decision,
[00:17:53] what is your target in mind? If there is terrorism,
[00:17:57] how long will it take to control it? Emergency has been imposed.
[00:18:01] When will the emergency end? What target have you set for yourself?
[00:18:04] Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim.
[00:18:08] Look, the target is only one, that terrorism must end.
[00:18:11] And for that, we will certainly try
[00:18:15] to make it happen as soon as possible. Today, the Interior Minister also
[00:18:19] said in a similar vein, when asked, that we will try our best
[00:18:23] that these conditions
[00:18:26] can be normalized as soon as possible. And we have no political interest
[00:18:29] in this. This is not,
[00:18:31] as they say, a bed of roses, nor have we come here
[00:18:35] with the intention
[00:18:37] of leaving any political footprints
[00:18:41] here or anything. There is only one
[00:18:44] point agenda that
[00:18:49] has grown so much due to the incompetence and inefficiency
[00:18:53] of the provincial government, and they were using it
[00:18:55] for their political motives, and they thought that this terrorism
[00:18:59] would give them something. They were hoping that this terrorism
[00:19:02] would lead them somewhere. I'm sure they didn't realize
[00:19:06] the consequences of their actions.
[00:19:37] it continues, so specifically tell us what the target is. If terrorism
[00:19:41] has increased by 195%, will there be a 50% reduction
[00:19:45] or a 100% reduction? There must be some time frame,
[00:19:48] otherwise it will be indefinite. Look, it has not always been the same.
[00:19:52] This peak, the first one, came in 2025-26, and
[00:19:56] before that, the peak in terrorism was in 2012.
[00:19:59] After that, the decline started, and then this decline
[00:20:03] went down very rapidly when the National Action Plan was formed.
[00:22:20] negotiations too, that our
[00:22:22] CM doesn't attend the funerals
[00:22:26] of our martyred soldiers. Who said this?
[00:22:29] Without going into details, because you or someone else
[00:22:33] said this a few days ago, Hamid Mir Sahib showed footage
[00:22:37] that Sohail Afridi was present at the soldier's funeral.
[00:22:41] But tell me one thing, will Governor's Rule remain until 2029?
[00:22:45] Look, if I tell you, if there was so much enthusiasm,
[00:22:48] then May 9th also happened here, November 25th also happened here.
[00:22:52] Given the situation, in 2029 also,
[00:22:55] I spend all day with your people. I know you are asking
[00:23:00] After that, it also happened
[00:23:03] here on November 25th. Meaning, such incidents happened,
[00:23:07] assemblies were dissolved. We should take some action.
[00:23:10] If you take an action, then you will not be asked
[00:23:14] if Governor's Rule will remain for six months. The numbers you provided
[00:23:18] are absolutely correct.
[00:23:50] We are also seeing that law enforcement agencies and civilians
[00:23:53] are being martyred. The PTI says that your objective
[00:23:57] is not to end terrorism, but to eliminate us. You say it is not a political issue,
[00:24:01] but please tell me why the data provided today
[00:24:05] was for two and a half years, but the narrative about the emergency
[00:24:09] started only when two days were left for the long march?
[00:24:12] That is, on September 27th, there was a long march,
[00:24:16] and from the 25th, the narrative began that they are facilitators of terrorists.
[00:25:20] it was not done. That is, four months ago, three months ago,
[00:25:24] two months ago, if you decide on an emergency at the time of the long march,
[00:25:27] then this question will arise, right? That okay, what you are talking about security
[00:25:31] is true, but are you making it an excuse, and the real issue is political?
[00:25:35] Look, I am telling you, you exhaust all options first.
[00:25:38] Right? First, they tried to move things forward directly
[00:25:42] with the CM and KP government, but it didn't work.
[00:25:46] The Interior Minister had backdoor talks with their leadership many times.
[00:25:55] and after that, I myself was a part of that discussion.
[00:25:58] Believe me, Shehzad Sahib, a political thing.
[00:26:32] The things that PTI was demanding by breaking assemblies,
[00:26:35] resigning, doing long marches, May 9th, November 26th,
[00:26:38] all those political demands were written.
[00:26:42] They themselves are saying that you had agreed to the lawyers' and family's
[00:26:46] meetings. More than what they were asking for,
[00:26:50] more than what they wanted was being given in writing,
[00:26:53] and at the highest level, when the Prime Minister of Pakistan
[00:26:56] was briefed by the Interior Minister on Sunday,
[00:27:00] and he was told that they have agreed to cooperate on the issue of terrorism.
[00:27:04] The Prime Minister said, "Give as much political space,
[00:27:07] concession, opportunity as possible,
[00:27:10] even if it means political loss for us." But listen to me.
[00:27:14] Believe me, every single thing that was the demand of any political party,
[00:27:18] but unfortunately, these people have also tarnished
[00:27:22] the image of us politicians by not sitting together and resolving matters.
[00:27:25] They are ready to end the long march. Since the Prime Minister
[00:27:28] sleeps early and wakes up early, I went to him at 6 AM
[00:28:02] and told him that if they are now theoretically ready
[00:28:06] to end the long march, then you should also agree with me
[00:28:10] that they will meet, and Imran Khan will be brought
[00:28:14] for treatment. Then leave the arrangement
[00:28:18] to us, we will implement it from both sides. On this, he said that it's fine.
[00:28:22] He also said that today there is a cabinet meeting, and before that,
[00:28:25] we will reach some conclusion. This suggestion also came
[00:28:29] that if needed, we can hold the cabinet meeting
[00:28:32] in the evening instead of the morning. At 9:30 PM, Ishaq Dar Sahib
[00:28:36] called and said that the cabinet's sense is forming
[00:28:39] that Governor's Rule should be imposed and emergency should be declared.
[00:28:42] So Maulana Sahib is saying that at 6 AM, Shehbaz Sharif Sahib
[00:28:46] assured that we will hold the cabinet meeting in the evening,
[00:28:50] then why did the meeting start at 9:30 PM and why was Maulana Sahib's
[00:28:53] suggestion not considered? Look, out of respect for Maulana Sahib,
[00:28:56] the entire cabinet's agenda was put aside,
[00:29:00] and the discussion with Maulana Sahib
[00:29:02] was discussed, and there was a long consultation,
[00:29:06] about an hour and a quarter. After that, Maulana Sahib
[00:29:10] was contacted again, and what Maulana Sahib
[00:29:13] is saying, I have been seeing this for two days myself,
[00:29:17] and the first thing about it is that on the very first day,
[00:29:21] the Interior Minister said that you were told that either the Chief Minister himself
[00:29:24] should come or his representative should come.
[00:29:28] All the people after
[00:29:50] Sunday, when they came on board, and after that,
[00:29:53] political matters escalated, and finally, a draft was made.
[00:29:56] The request is this, Maulana Sahib said
[00:30:00] that the issue we have with Afghanistan
[00:30:32] is similar to this, that the PTI also
[00:30:36] should openly call a terrorist a terrorist and stand with you.
[00:30:39] And the thing is, look, if a decision
[00:30:43] had been made, if there had been any other option,
[00:30:47] then the Prime Minister and the Army Chief
[00:30:49] would not have carried the coffins of so many martyrs on their shoulders.
[00:30:53] Shehzad, have you ever seen that someone got married
[00:30:56] a week ago?
