[00:11:35] Good evening, you're watching views at seven with Manur
[00:11:51] discuss about the two issues that that are being navigated by.
[00:11:55] Pakistan
[00:11:56] that is the most importantly cross border terrorism where we have seen the attack in the
[00:12:00] police line in Kohat has brought another discussion regarding the crossbarder
[00:12:04] terrorism faced by Pakistan and intelligence based
[00:12:07] operation is also under process by the security forces
[00:12:11] we have seen that Pakistan is protecting its citizen by
[00:12:15] intelligence based intelligence based operations
[00:12:18] across to counter the cross border terrorism we have been offering
[00:12:22] negotiations we have been offering diplomacy we have been offering what
[00:12:25] ever we want to do or whatever to
[00:12:29] whatever extent Pakistan is trying to solve this
[00:12:33] problem a peaceful way still we have seen that the other parties who are involved in it, the
[00:12:37] neighboring countries who are involved in it and the use of a neighboring country,
[00:12:40] then neighboring soil is actually disturbing and
[00:12:43] destabilizing the peaceful situation in KP and
[00:12:55] towards the governance system of Pakistan because we'll discuss about something
[00:12:59] that is not regional issue, that is not an issue of two countries, that is a global
[00:13:02] issue, climate change and Pakistan climbed 22 places in the
[00:13:06] environmental protection index. what is it? pakistan has taken multiple
[00:13:10] steps to protect citizen, be it on the borders, be it
[00:13:14] inside the country, be it in environmental way, wel discuss about that, but will start
[00:13:18] with cross border terrorism that is being faced by Pakistan as
[00:13:22] Cohart has witnessed deadly attack on the P lines where an
[00:13:25] explosion near the mosk during Friday prayers were
[00:13:29] followed by the armed assault on the police facilities.
[00:13:33] 21 people including 15 police personnels were
[00:13:37] initially murdered and now more than 100 are
[00:13:40] injured and overnight clearance operation subsequently concluded
[00:13:44] with eight terrorist kills and according to the KP police the
[00:13:48] attack comes just days after Pakistan told UN
[00:13:52] security council that it would respond to the terror threats eminating
[00:13:56] from the Afghan soil in defense and in accordance
[00:14:00] with the international law, and if we talk about the counter terrorism
[00:14:04] operations, intelligence based operations carried out by Pakistan, separately
[00:14:07] security forces have reported killing 11 terrorists in operations
[00:14:11] in Balochistan, Punchkur and Chagi district, highlighting the
[00:14:15] continuity of counter terrorism operations and the
[00:14:18] challenges facing by Pakistan, what needs to be done in this
[00:14:22] regard, because when it comes to Moscow format. consultation or doha dialogues, we
[00:14:26] have seen that Afghan Taliban regime, the non-democratic regime, the
[00:14:30] non democratic representation of
[00:14:33] Afghanies actually talking very high when it
[00:14:37] comes to their governance system, when it comes to their policies
[00:14:41] for the world and for themselves, but when it comes to the practical ends, we have seen that
[00:14:44] Pakistan is offering them trade concessions, Pakistan is offering them a
[00:14:48] lot of options to come to the talking table, they do come to the talking
[00:14:52] table, but they are not abiding by. the international laws to
[00:14:56] discuss about that, we are joined by Afghan Affairs Expert Mr.
[00:14:59] Zahir Shah Sherazi, Mr. Zahir, well program news at seven. Pakistan has
[00:15:03] told the United Nations Security Council that the terrorist
[00:15:07] thats are actually that are emidating from Afghanistan, they
[00:15:10] are threat to Pakistan and Pakistan would deal with them according
[00:15:14] to the international law, according to the international criteria. Following the
[00:15:18] Kohat attack, what do you think, what concrete and
[00:15:21] verificable mailers should Pakistan seek from the?
[00:15:25] authorities, what needs to be done in this regard and in in
[00:15:29] what ways or in what
[00:15:31] you know things afghan authorities are answerable to
[00:15:34] Pakistan?
[00:15:39] Manur, thank you very much. I think this spohart incident was very
[00:15:43] much already cautioned by even the United
[00:15:47] Nations Security Council's recent report by Sara
[00:15:51] Baker Lesson and in that report, the UN security council has
[00:15:55] very clearly indicated that Afghanistan has now become
[00:15:59] the hub of more than 26 terrorist organization and
[00:16:02] al-Qaeda and ISK Daesh Khurasan is two
[00:16:06] the top most. 'who are patronizing, who are training, who are running camps
[00:16:10] inside Afghanistan and god forbid the 9/11 like
[00:16:14] incident can happen any time, because this report was released on the anniversary of
[00:16:17] 9/11 and now this quhart incident is not a very simple terrorist
[00:16:21] attack, if you assess this, I think it shows very
[00:16:25] sophisticated armed attack which looked like a
[00:16:29] complete trained army has you know try to target the
[00:16:33] police lines and that is a worrisome thing and this is what the United
[00:16:37] Nations'. security counsel has threaten, this is what Pakistan had been conveying
[00:16:41] to the international community for the almost last four years since Taliban
[00:16:44] took over the kabul administration and I
[00:16:48] think now the way these incidents are happening, it's not
[00:16:52] only Kuhart earlier we have seen there was an attack on the security forces in Kuram
[00:16:56] district, then similar quad copters and organized
[00:17:00] attack they were launched on on police stations in Banu in Hangu,
[00:17:04] it means now these militants are not just ragged.
[00:17:08] AK47 branding militants are the hard liner
[00:17:12] islamists, they are full fledged trained terrorist
[00:17:15] organizations which are trying to hit Pakistan from the
[00:17:19] western border and that is for purpose so what Pakistan
[00:17:23] has to do, I think it's time now the international community
[00:17:26] should join hand with Pakistan because Pakistan had been fighting
[00:17:30] their war and terror for almost like 40 years, so now it's time
[00:17:34] why the international community is just condemning these incidents, why they are...
[00:17:38] trying to rain in the Afghan taliban regime which is patronizing
[00:17:41] the terrorist, why the international community and the Islamic
[00:17:45] countries are not conveying to India and its
[00:17:49] hostile agencies that it should stop patronizing, supporting and
[00:17:53] financing these terrorist elements, so what Pakistan is doing as you mentioning in
[00:17:56] your intro that intelligence based operations are going
[00:18:00] on, border is being sealed, cross border infiltration
[00:18:04] and incursions are being targeted, but the way these people operating, it
[00:18:08] means they are not alone, they are being sponsored, supported
[00:18:12] and patronized by some hostile international elements
[00:18:16] which wanted Pakistan to remain under the
[00:18:19] severe pressure its western border. well taken, well taken to
[00:18:23] discuss about that, we are joined by air commodor retired Khalid Chishti sab.
[00:18:27] Khalid Chishti sab is defense and security analyst and a former fighter
[00:18:31] pilot and the senior officer of Pakistan Air Force Khalid, welcome to
[00:18:35] program us at seven, considering the current... situation of war against
[00:18:38] terrorism, which is actually, I must say
[00:18:42] almost a decade long war of Pakistan, we have been dealing with
[00:18:46] that, we have been dealing with the proxies, we have been dealing with the neighboring countries, and
[00:18:50] now we have seen that how Afghan soil is being used against
[00:18:53] Pakistan, now intelligence based operations have been carried out by the security
[00:18:57] forces, Pakistan has presented its assessment
[00:19:01] that more than uh 4,700
[00:19:04] Pakistanis were killed by terrorism. eminating from the
[00:19:08] Afghan soil over the past three years, what do you
[00:19:12] think that we have been asking to the international community, we have been
[00:19:16] asking to Afghan Taliban regime to establish mechanism or the link
[00:19:19] or something or intelligence sharing so we can counter
[00:19:23] this thing that are impacting the civilians of Pakistan
[00:19:27] that are impacting humanity that is actually humanitarian crisis
[00:19:31] that one country is allowing the other country
[00:19:34] to
[00:19:35] you know counter. It's neighboring country and that's
[00:19:39] how they are killing people, that's how they are killing civilians, that's how they are killing
[00:19:43] the armed personnels in Pakistan, what needs to be done in this regard
[00:19:47] to once again ask international community to jump
[00:19:50] in, once again ask the international organizations to jump
[00:19:54] in and do something, because we have seen
[00:19:57] that Pakistan is nuclear state, Pakistan knows how to
[00:20:01] defend itself, but when it comes to neighboring country, we are going back to the talking
[00:20:05] tables again and again, but what else? we need to
[00:20:08] do very much Manur for the
[00:20:11] invitation and first I like to obviously not only condemn but offer
[00:20:15] my condolence to the great families obviously you've been murtered the
[00:20:19] civilians and the police law enforcement agencies absolutely
[00:20:23] brutal activity and as I keep saying every time I
[00:20:26] am in your program and I say Pakistan over the period of last one year
[00:20:30] and particularly after May 2025 has become extremely
[00:20:34] relevant in the eyes of international.
[00:20:37] nations and specially after Iran America war that we
[00:20:41] contributed significantly bringing the peace and especially
[00:20:45] converging both divergent nation of Iran and America into an
[00:20:49] MoUU. Obviously unfortunately that didn't work, but there is nothing wrong with
[00:20:53] Mou still, so the world has acknowledged it,
[00:20:57] no doubt about it, but few segments of committee of nations still are
[00:21:01] there obviously who do not take it Pakistan's contribution a
[00:21:04] positive way, they want us to stay irrelevant, they want to keep us less
[00:21:08] important diplomatically, politically, economically, and
[00:21:12] they obviously want the armed forces in particular and people of
[00:21:16] Pakistan in general to be stressed out and be deluted
[00:21:20] in their effort and resources in the divergent activity that
[00:21:24] they create obviously it's
[00:21:25] so painful and
[00:21:26] you were absolutely right when we obviously expect and demand the
[00:21:30] committee of nations obviously for whom we have worked
[00:21:34] day in and day night for last about seven months in
[00:21:37] negotiating the peace in this region especially Iran and America
[00:21:41] war so I think the world needs to realize that that we are a peace loving
[00:21:45] country we like to others to use their
[00:21:49] influence whichever. they can to bring peace to our
[00:21:52] nation and the country obviously. we paid a lot of price in soviet war and even
[00:21:56] after that and last what the data you said very rightly
[00:22:00] so that we have been one the leading victims of terrorism in the
[00:22:04] last about decade. so what who is doing this?
[00:22:06] there are a lot of countries who are sponsoring it and we have many times given lot of
[00:22:10] evidences to united nations and other obviously larger or
[00:22:14] bigger powers, but unfortunate part has been that they've not given the
[00:22:18] due tension that the... the issue marit and the time has come
[00:22:22] now that we have now that establish our influence and we must
[00:22:26] take it up diplomatically more aggressively trying to highlight
[00:22:30] our pain not only but also our sincerity of purpose
[00:22:34] for bringing the peace for not only Pakistan Afghanistan but also
[00:22:37] obviously
[00:22:38] in the region
[00:22:39] all right so Chishti sab the cohart attackers actually were able to enter
[00:22:43] a sensitive police compound what aspects of parameter
[00:22:47] securities and intelligence coordination we need to review
[00:22:51] this time, because when it comes to intelligence based operations, we have been covering it, we
[00:22:55] have been discussing with analys like you who are the military men and the defense
[00:22:58] analyst as well that Pakistan is actually working with a
[00:23:02] participatory approach, they are taking the local intelligence as well, they are working on
[00:23:06] their governance system as well, so that the people, the local people,
[00:23:09] especially the young educated lot of KP or
[00:23:12] Baluchistan should not fall a pray these
[00:23:16] terrorists, but when it comes to our own security mayors, what needs to be? in this
[00:23:20] regard: you marot, you see this is more
[00:23:23] challenging, because the armed forces, wherever they have their station
[00:23:27] or the units are relatively not as much
[00:23:31] as closer to the excess the public, because the
[00:23:34] police has to deal with the civilian matters, police has to deal with the
[00:23:38] public issues, obviously their stations, the police headquarters
[00:23:42] are either in the middle of it or very much accessible to
[00:23:45] the open public, so obviously this is kind of soft valley that i will call.
[00:23:50] and that is why these terrorist activities and the masters have started to realize
[00:23:54] that these institutions obviously because they lie so openly
[00:23:58] and relatively more vulnerable as to compared to the military
[00:24:01] unit, so they find it easy to target, because obviously most
[00:24:05] the people and commoners are coming and going out the police
[00:24:09] stations, so it is extremely difficult and more challenging as compared to a
[00:24:12] military unit to defend these places, because the policemen and the
[00:24:16] police officials have to deal at almost 24/7. with the
[00:24:20] public issue, so I think they find it easy to
[00:24:23] penetrate, but having said that, what you asking is more of
[00:24:27] intelligence sharing and more of engagement the law
[00:24:30] enforcement agencies with the armed forces and our intelligence
[00:24:34] network and the security agencies, more collaboration needs to be done and more
[00:24:38] vigilance hobbies, especially in the areas which are more prone in KPK and
[00:24:42] Baluchistan and we've identified most the time that they at those targets which
[00:24:45] are less expected to be defended obviously or not as defended.
[00:24:50] as a military compound as they said, so I think more intelligence sharing has to be
[00:24:54] done, but top of that I said the it's has to be
[00:24:57] taken up a diplomatic at the international level, highlighting the kind of
[00:25:01] brutalities being conducted on the innocent people, especially well
[00:25:05] taken, moving forward towards you, Zahir Shah Shiraz sab, as you Afghan
[00:25:09] affairs expert and we know how Afghan soil is being used against Pakistan, this
[00:25:13] time the attack involved both and explosion and
[00:25:17] the you know attack as well, assault as well on the police. facilities, what does
[00:25:21] this method of attack indicate about the threat posed by uh the
[00:25:24] terrorist on the security personnels and the civilians at the same
[00:25:28] time and what do you think that as i have just asked this question
[00:25:32] to khalid chushti sab as well what needs to be
[00:25:35] done for intelligence sharing so it can be obtained
[00:25:39] from the other countries the neighboring countries to
[00:25:43] target their network to target their facilities to target bone
[00:25:47] of contention of this terrorism that is originating and
[00:25:50] reoriginating, they're making their groups and regrouping again and again,
[00:25:54] we have been fighting this since long and in the last three years
[00:25:58] Pakistan has actually lost in their civilians, their people in
[00:26:02] th. so what needs to be done in this regard when it comes to the
[00:26:05] intelligence sharing and this kind of attack where they are
[00:26:09] attacking the uniform persons and the civilians at the same
[00:26:12] time look manu as sh was
[00:26:16] saying i think we have to device a multiong strategy
[00:26:20] now we are not fighting again i was earlier mentioning that we are fighting rack
[00:26:24] tag militant groups who are just roaming around in the
[00:26:28] mountains and they come over and just carry a gorilla war type like
[00:26:33] like attack on the police station and the check post which are very much
[00:26:36] visible. first of all, i think the uniform personnel, if they are in army
[00:26:40] or the law enforcement agencies or the police, they are very much visible, so that is the
[00:26:44] reason
[00:26:44] they are easily being attacked. second thing is that we have to
[00:26:48] look very realistically. now we have to revisit, revive our entire
[00:26:52] strategy of fighting terrorism because the terrorism
[00:26:56] which is now being carried out on Pakistani soil, it is very much organized,
[00:26:59] it is very much you know,
[00:27:02] articulated and it is being supported not only by the
[00:27:06] international hostile agencies like Ra and Musad, but it is also
[00:27:10] being
[00:27:10] you know constantly supported supported by high
[00:27:14] level of intelligence sharing, then you have the the the western border
[00:27:18] which is very much available for launching such attacks, so it means Pakistan
[00:27:22] is trying to you know carry out as much as it can to
[00:27:26] neutralize the threat, internally we are carrying out intelligence based
[00:27:30] operation on the across the border, also launch precision
[00:27:33] strikes against the terrorist hide doubts, their operational bases, their save
[00:27:37] heaven, that is okay, but what need to be done is like we have to take up
[00:27:41] this issue as ch were mentioning at the OIC level,
[00:27:45] recently we have to take up this issue at the United Nations
[00:27:49] Security Council level, because if the UNSC is itself
[00:27:52] saying that 9/11 like incidents can
[00:27:56] happen because Afghanistan has become ecosystem as a
[00:28:00] breeding ground for terrorism, most militant organization
[00:28:04] like al-qaida and daesh, they are training terrorist groups like
[00:28:07] TTP, BLA, even the
[00:28:11] ETIIM, the tip, it means the attacks which are now being launched
[00:28:15] in the form of suicide attacks and now we also have another form
[00:28:19] of attacks which is in the form of
[00:28:21] you know air suicide bombing, in the form of quadcopters, we have more
[00:28:25] than 450 quadcopter attacks in the last two years, it
[00:28:29] means the militants are now changing their strategy and how are operating, they
[00:28:33] are now going for modern warfare, they have latest gadgets, they
[00:28:36] have per guns, they have laser guns, they can film and
[00:28:40] document all this which is carrying out and then the
[00:28:44] hybrid warfare which they launch in the form of media hype, that is very
[00:28:47] dangerous, so it means Pakistan has to totally revisit its
[00:28:51] strategy, not only at the military level, but also I think the
[00:28:55] political will is very important, you must have seen the
[00:28:57] political point scoring on such like incident by the
[00:29:01] provincial government as well as the carless attitude of even the
[00:29:04] federation, i think we should have to take this seriously very
[00:29:07] because kp and balochistan, they
[00:29:11] are the bordering provinces along with western border and on the western border indian
[00:29:15] ra, musad and other hostile agencies have launched
[00:29:18] multiple and multipound war,
[00:29:21] it is financial war,
[00:29:22] it is war of terrorism, then they are doing water
[00:29:26] aggression and in the form of our economic devastation
[00:29:30] they have forced. taliban regime to shut the border,
[00:29:34] so it means it's a multiorong war which is going on on Pakistan's
[00:29:38] western border and it is not simply a war against few militants, so
[00:29:42] I think Pakistan should be now engaging the international community, it should
[00:29:46] be forcing them to realize that Pakistan had
[00:29:49] fought their war for so many years, now it's time they should be joining
[00:29:53] hands with Pakistan only instead of condemming the Afghan
[00:29:57] Taliban regime and a terrorist incident and sympathizing with the families
[00:30:01] and the law enforcement. agency personnel, i think it would not be doing any good,
[00:30:05] rather it is threatening the entire world, or it
[00:30:09] well taken that multifactorial strategy is
[00:30:13] required to counter terrorism in Pakistan, especially in
[00:30:16] Balochistan and in KP, moving forward towards,
[00:30:20] according to the report of Pakistan institute of conflict
[00:30:23] studies, it reports that attacks in Balochistan
[00:30:27] increased from 83 in July to 89 in August,
[00:30:31] what do you think that what factor? are driving these attacks to
[00:30:35] be increasing day by day and we have seen in the last month these
[00:30:38] attacks were increased from 83 to
[00:30:41] 89. Anu, I believe
[00:30:44] that this is a time period, especially in last three four months,
[00:30:48] Pakistan has contributed hugely in bringing the peace to the region,
[00:30:51] especially a war between America and Iran, so
[00:30:55] we found new respect in the committee of nation, we we are
[00:30:59] elevated from the influence point of view, because this... influence does not
[00:31:03] come very easily '
