[00:00:00] You are doing a very good thing, bringing a very good idea, but it couldn't be done.
[00:00:03] Now, on these 12 districts, they
[00:00:07] agreed with us during the negotiations that yes, emergency should be imposed here,
[00:00:11] we are with you because the situation there is such that
[00:00:14] these 12 districts should be normalized, life should be brought back,
[00:00:17] the issues of the people there are also very high,
[00:00:21] plus the terrorism there
[00:00:24] has increased to an extreme level.
[00:00:28] But if no one was ready to stand with us,
[00:00:30] Along if anyone was even hesitant to meet us, that this picture
[00:00:34] or anything should be hidden, I have met them
[00:00:37] so many times, you
[00:00:40] wouldn't even know, but I never said that a picture should be released because
[00:00:45] attempt, they used to say that it creates problems for these people. We said, no,
[00:00:49] we have clarity on one thing that we don't want to bring politics
[00:00:53] into this.
[00:00:58] The third most important thing is that in
[00:01:02] me clarify that in this any case, a federation having one foreign policy
[00:01:05] and a province having another foreign policy is impossible. It can't happen.
[00:01:08] And there you saw how many
[00:01:12] times our stance was what it was and what their stance
[00:01:15] was, and this kept happening not just once, but many times.
[00:01:18] رہا
[00:01:22] Their connection with the Taliban
[00:01:26] with the mountain-like courage with which is no secret. I will not say anything else.
[00:01:30] Four
[00:01:32] circumstances that demand or five of you plan and visit these districts now.
[00:01:36] being run in such a way If Allah keeps you safe and brings you back,
[00:01:39] it's difficult to
[00:01:41] and the proclamation return because the situation there is actually bad at this time,
[00:01:44] which needs to be fixed. But those people took out a whole procession
[00:01:48] according and said nothing to anyone.
[00:01:50] This is not normal. On one hand,
[00:01:54] there are raids one day before, and the next day
[00:01:57] the same background has been given you pass through that area and no one says anything. This
[00:02:00] is absolutely not normal.
[00:02:01] ہے۔
[00:02:06] Now, regarding terrorism,
[00:02:08] اوپر
[00:02:12] of this, our only point was that it's impossible for us
[00:02:15] to have our soldiers
[00:02:19] and police personnel martyred everyday
[00:02:22] and the provincial government not even be ready to take
[00:02:26] ownership of it.
[00:02:30] This was happening regularly on a daily basis.
[00:02:33] تھا۔
[00:02:37] Regarding police resources, there's a significant difference between their
[00:02:41] a session of Parliament is also proposed figures and our figures. They say they provided them,
[00:02:43] we say you gave the money, you wrote it down, but whether they actually received it
[00:02:47] or not, that was our problem.
[00:02:51] it is a requirement Terrorism, you
[00:02:54] cannot fight it alone in any situation.
[00:02:57] You have to fight it together. So, we had only two options: either
[00:03:01] we continue to have daily martyrs
[00:03:05] or we put an end to this thing.
[00:03:08] So, this difficult decision we made
[00:03:11] has a proper background.
[00:03:15] We tried
[00:03:18] Thank you, as the honorable our best to avoid it as much as possible. If
[00:03:21] terrorism is increasing by
[00:03:25] 195%, it's
[00:03:28] not
[00:03:30] a small thing, and martyrdoms
[00:03:33] have also increased by almost 113% in 31 months.
[00:03:37] You take anything,
[00:03:40] 518
[00:03:43] police officers have been martyred in the last one and a half
[00:03:47] years, from January 2024 onwards.
[00:03:50] And
[00:03:53] you say that no, we have given you the budget, we have given
[00:03:55] ensure that you a budget of 20 billion. Brother, a whole war
[00:03:58] against you.
[00:04:02] are one nation,
[00:04:05] And besides that, I don't think this is appropriate.
[00:04:06] dedication and So secondly, your point
[00:04:10] of view is that no, we will first define
[00:04:13] whether this person is a terrorist or not. A person is firing at you,
[00:04:17] martyring your people, and you will sit down to define him.
[00:04:21] Well, there were many problems that were related
[00:04:25] but we do in policies. to their governor, but personally, our
[00:04:28] Ministry of Interior
[00:04:35] access and passage. they are regularly
[00:04:46] about the imposition of emergency,
[00:05:00] You must ask them he has rendered great services who were the masterminds
[00:05:04] who were sabotaging everything and
[00:05:08] how they agreed with us
[00:05:11] and after that, whether it's PPP or PMLN,
[00:05:15] both delegations were present. You ask both of them. So we had to
[00:05:19] do this out of compulsion. And if Allah wills,
[00:05:22] once these details
[00:05:25] that the Law Minister will tell you, the things that have been
[00:05:29] imposed today, after that, I am only praying to Allah that
[00:05:33] Allah makes it easy for us and
[00:05:37] grants success to our army, our police, our
[00:05:40] paramilitary forces in this war against terrorism.
[00:05:43] So that we can fight this war together with good intentions.
[00:05:51] the things that the Interior Minister said,
[00:05:53] all these things,
[00:05:57] the Prime Minister, before advising
[00:05:59] the President
[00:06:04] about this,
[00:06:07] a very detailed cabinet meeting was held,
[00:06:11] you people were also reporting about it,
[00:06:14] which lasted for almost more than two
[00:06:17] hours. And in that,
[00:06:19] the relevant departments also submitted
[00:06:23] reports. From Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Governor
[00:06:26] Sahib had some very alarming things which he conveyed
[00:06:30] to the federal government through
[00:06:33] a letter. Because they are representatives of the federation.
[00:06:36] And they fulfilled their constitutional responsibility,
[00:06:40] which is mentioned in Article 234, that
[00:06:43] if the provincial government is
[00:06:48] that there is a constitutional breakdown in the province
[00:06:52] and the writ of government is also not visible
[00:06:55] and instead of correcting it, you are
[00:06:59] prioritizing your politics and
[00:07:03] pushing aside the lives and property of the people
[00:07:06] and the welfare of the province and what is good for
[00:07:10] Pakistan. So they fulfilled their constitutional
[00:07:14] responsibility. Along with that, a lot
[00:07:17] of material and reports that the
[00:07:21] Interior Minister shared with you, among which one of the several alarming things
[00:07:25] was the most alarming thing, that
[00:07:28] in the last two to two and a half years,
[00:07:31] there has been a 196% increase in the incidents of extremism
[00:07:35] and terrorism, which are reported incidents.
[00:07:38] That is, if there was one incident
[00:07:42] in two or three days, it came to three incidents,
[00:07:46] and almost a 200% increase,
[00:07:50] and the number of martyrs and
[00:07:54] injured, and the destruction of installations and the destruction
[00:07:57] of vehicles, there was a similar sharp
[00:08:01] increase in their numbers. One way to deal with this was
[00:08:04] that the provincial government, in collaboration
[00:08:08] with the Pakistan Army, should fight that war with full force.
[00:08:31] And instead of putting their heads together
[00:08:35] and finding a solution to this burning fire
[00:08:38] and moving forward with resolve, there was reluctance, and they explained
[00:08:42] all of that. So in such a situation,
[00:08:46] the federal government, the President,
[00:08:50] within the framework of the constitution, and these are
[00:08:53] the provisions that were originally included in the
[00:08:56] 1973 constitution by the framers,
[00:09:00] our elders in parliament, who sat
[00:09:03] together and included these articles because
[00:09:07] the federation of Pakistan is a
[00:09:09] whole, a country. We
[00:09:15] its units, but these units were also bound to
[00:09:18] cooperate with the federation and live together, and there
[00:09:22] are various provisions of the constitution in which this was stated.
[00:09:25] Article 149 of the constitution,
[00:09:29] its clause 4 says that the federal government will give directions to the provinces.
[00:09:32] We usually say that we don't interfere in many domains, health, education,
[00:09:37] In 1494 it was said
[00:09:41] that where there is talk of peace and tranquility,
[00:09:44] law and order in the country, and talk of the security
[00:09:48] of the country, the federal government will give directions to the provinces, and if they don't comply
[00:09:52] with it, there are also consequences. Article 232
[00:09:55] of the constitution, which talks
[00:09:59] it says that if there are internal
[00:10:03] threats such that the security of the province is at
[00:10:06] stake, and also if
[00:10:10] or if you
[00:10:14] are threatened by an external attack, here the whole border
[00:10:17] area is on fire, what is happening from our neighboring
[00:10:20] country, Afghanistan, is also no secret from you, and the internal
[00:10:24] matters
[00:10:34] the federal government is thinking. So I said that the constitution provides a procedure
[00:10:38] through which the federal government will have that material
[00:10:41] and the federal government will be able to
[00:10:45] justify that now the President Sahib should use this power.
[00:10:49] On that day,
[00:10:51] a decision will be made within the constitutional framework.
[00:10:55] And you have heard, you have been watching, you have been covering
[00:10:58] that the negotiations were at what level,
[00:11:02] how far they went, they continued till 2:30
[00:11:05] at night yesterday, there was another
[00:11:10] despite that, things were still where they were, so
[00:11:13] in this background, after detailed consultation
[00:11:17] today,
[00:11:20] the President has, on the advice
[00:11:24] of the Prime Minister,
[00:11:26] using the powers given in Article 232 of the constitution
[00:11:30] and Article 234 of the constitution, imposed
[00:11:33] emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:11:37] In common parlance,
[00:11:40] when matters under Article 232 occur,
[00:11:43] we call it emergency, and when matters under 234 occur, we call
[00:11:47] it Governor's Rule, but the situation was so grave
[00:11:50] and exceptional that both
[00:11:53] the provisions, the
[00:11:57] them, both those circumstances
[00:12:00] were such that both these provisions were exercised,
[00:12:04] and the powers given in them were used. In the
[00:12:07] first proclamation issued by the President,
[00:12:13] to it, the background was told to you.
[00:12:17] It must have been notified by now. In that,
[00:12:22] that whereas the activities of extremists,
[00:12:55] the organization issues it. For the first time, we are in great difficulty. For the first
[00:12:58] time, this time they have said that Pakistan
[00:13:02] is the worst affected country by terrorism. They have put
[00:13:06] us at number one. On one
[00:13:08] hand, we talk about economy, about running the economy,
[00:13:12] about foreign investments, so who will come to us
[00:13:16] in these circumstances when we don't have our own resolve? So
[00:13:19] all those things were taken into account in the proclamation,
[00:13:23] and
[00:13:26] on that basis, according to a mechanism of the constitution,
[00:13:29] the proclamation states
[00:13:32] that the federal government
[00:13:35] has, through this proclamation,
[00:13:39] rendered the provincial government dysfunctional.
[00:13:43] It ceases to exist
[00:13:46] at this moment, and
[00:13:49] the Governor has been authorized by the federation
[00:13:53] to exercise the powers of the provincial government
[00:13:56] that have been delegated to him, which the constitution allows.
[00:14:00] And for this, through a subsequent
[00:14:03] order, the Governor
[00:14:06] Sahib has been advised
[00:14:09] by an 11-member advisory council,
[00:14:12] and Mr. Atta Tarar
[00:14:37] for the 12 districts that are almost in a state of war,
[00:14:40] the federal government has established a secretariat under the Governor
[00:14:43] Sahib and the Chief Secretary Sahib
[00:14:46] which will directly oversee these 12 districts
[00:14:50] and keep the federal government informed
[00:14:54] because the situation there is very serious.
[00:14:58] In this, an ARDC
[00:15:01] has been established, which
[00:15:04] is a council for reconstruction
[00:15:07] and development. Yes, Mr. Atta, it
[00:15:11] will handle
[00:15:21] and the administration of these
[00:15:25] 12 districts, which have been notified,
[00:15:29] will be run by the provincial government
[00:15:32] and the central government in collaboration
[00:15:35] with each other. The Governor Sahib
[00:15:39] will also oversee it.
[00:15:42] The proclamation, naturally, according
[00:15:46] to the intention of the constitution, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:15:50] provincial ministers, advisors,
[00:15:54] special assistants, Advocate General,
[00:15:57] and many other constitutional office holders
[00:16:00] were immediately rendered
[00:16:04] inactive.
[00:16:08] with this,
[00:16:11] under Article 245,
[00:16:13] the federal government has
[00:16:17] also issued a proclamation
[00:16:20] to deploy the Pakistani
[00:16:22] forces for their assistance according to the procedure
[00:16:25] given in the constitutional mechanism under Article 245,
[00:16:28] under the leadership of Governor
[00:16:32] Kundi Sahib. And this was
[00:16:35] already deployed. Let
[00:16:39] war against terror, they are making all these sacrifices,
[00:16:42] and as a result of this deployment, our soldiers
[00:16:46] and officers are being martyred
[00:16:50] there, and they are doing
[00:16:53] as much as they can to eradicate it,
[00:16:57] but to convert this into
[00:17:00] a more coordinated effort and get results,
[00:17:04] a fresh proclamation has also been issued.
[00:17:07] Now, the procedure for this is
[00:17:11] that, from time to time,
[00:17:15] the constitution authorizes
[00:17:18] issued by the President authorizes
[00:17:22] the federal government to issue appropriate
[00:17:25] orders through the Governor
[00:17:29] there so that the provincial
[00:17:32] matters can be run constitutionally
[00:17:36] within the constitution and
[00:17:39] the results or objectives
[00:17:42] that are desired from this proclamation
[00:17:46] can be ensured. For the details
[00:18:02] of these proclamations
[00:18:05] will be done separately by the National Assembly
[00:18:09] and the Senate of Pakistan under Article 232,
[00:18:12] and that has to happen within 10 days. For that,
[00:18:18] to be called in the coming days, in a day or two,
[00:18:22] and then this matter will also be taken to a joint sitting.
[00:18:26] Along with this, since
[00:18:29] of Article 234
[00:18:32] that you have to debate that matter
[00:18:35] and give approval to it in the joint sitting,
[00:18:38] the joint session of Parliament. So
[00:18:42] all these matters will be placed
[00:18:45] before Parliament under this constitutional
[00:18:49] procedure so that they can give
[00:18:52] their decision regarding its ratification.
[00:19:12] under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister, it was
[00:19:15] the well-considered opinion of all the cabinet
[00:19:19] members that
[00:19:22] the PTI government
[00:19:24] in KP is hand in glove
[00:19:28] with the terrorists. They have an unholy
[00:19:31] alliance with the terrorists. And the terrorists
[00:19:35] are regularly given
[00:19:38] access to how a district will be run.
[00:19:41] That is, the report presented
[00:19:44] by the Intelligence Bureau and law enforcement
[00:19:48] agencies was so horrific that, as Mr. Mohsin Naqvi also
[00:19:51] said, all political parties
[00:19:54] there were attacked
[00:20:04] they have an unholy alliance with the PTI,
[00:20:09] given a secure
[00:20:13] But why is it that the police stations
[00:20:16] of many districts have been outsourced
[00:20:20] to the Taliban? That is, the people you were supposed
[00:20:23] to protect. The lives and property of ordinary citizens,
[00:20:27] whose protection is your constitutional responsibility. And
[00:20:31] not fulfilling that constitutional responsibility through inaction
[00:20:35] is one thing, that you don't.
[00:21:50] In the province, you see that those who were responsible for law and order,
[00:21:54] safety, and security, they
[00:21:57] not only facilitated, but they also made terrorists
[00:22:00] honorable in their administration. I went to the
[00:22:04] house of that constable. It takes a lot of courage for that.
[00:22:07] Faheemullah, from Kohat. He
[00:22:11] was his father's only son. And
[00:22:16] his father said that his life is also sacrificed for Pakistan,
[00:22:20] we should learn from these martyrs, from their heirs,
[00:22:23] who are the true owners of the traditions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:22:27] of the honor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. So this
[00:22:30] partnership and unholy alliance and their
[00:22:34] collaboration, as a result of which
[00:22:37] they outsourced many districts to terrorists, telling them to martyr
[00:22:41] citizens, to destroy mosques, to bomb
[00:22:45] hospitals, to those who don't pay them protection money.
[00:22:49] Basically, these are these people, who are these Taliban? I, by the grace
[00:22:53] of Allah, say with full conviction
[00:22:55] that these are people
[00:22:59] funded by foreign powers who want to bring our country to the brink of destruction.
[00:23:03] Now, any such group
[00:23:06] that receives funding from outside and comes and martyrs
[00:23:09] our people and causes harm to
[00:23:13] the lives and property of our people, and a provincial
[00:23:16] government sits with them to facilitate everything
[00:23:20] and make them stakeholders, then tell me, what
[00:23:24] bigger constitutional breakdown can there be?
[00:23:26] That is, your mandate is safety,
[00:23:30] security, law and order, police, and what are you doing? And that bill
[00:23:33] that came, the controversial bill of the police, they wanted
[00:23:37] that people from these terrorist groups should be regularly recruited
[00:23:41] into the police. Why did they want direct DSP appointments
[00:23:45] without the Public Service Commission, without the Central
[00:23:48] Superior Services? The objective was one: to give
[00:23:52] their people, their supporters, a place in the police force as well.
[00:23:55] So they were slowly pushing the entire province towards
[00:23:59] destruction, for which undeniable
[00:24:02] evidence and proofs exist. And tell me, you can check
[00:24:05] the entire cabinet. What is the performance
[00:24:09] of the KP cabinet? You might see them on talk
[00:24:13] shows in the evening, talking, but besides that, what did
[00:24:16] the Health Minister do? What did the Education Minister do? What did
[00:24:27] the Chief Minister do, or how did they lead the people of the province
[00:24:30] towards prosperity? I will now show you the
[00:24:33] structure that today, when this group
[00:24:36] has been liberated, who are the competent
[00:24:45] you that the home portfolio in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:24:49] میں
[00:25:20] is a very distinguished name. He has rendered his services
[00:25:23] throughout Pakistan. He has also served in the Federal Board of Revenue
[00:25:27] and has been the ex-chairman of FBR. He has also served
[00:25:31] in Punjab as Secretary Finance and Secretary of the Economic Affairs
[00:25:35] Division. He has a very illustrious and unblemished
[00:25:38] career in civil service and is one of the finest
[00:25:42] officers of the Income Tax Group. And
[00:25:47] for Pakistan. So you will see technocrats.
[00:26:02] so that we can make people's lives easier. So these technocrats
[00:26:06] will appear to you as shining stars
[00:26:09] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, whose past also testifies
[00:26:13] that they have always served Pakistan
[00:26:24] He has also been the Advocate General. He is an Advocate of the Supreme Court
[00:26:28] and has been an ex-Additional Attorney General of Pakistan and a very fine
[00:26:32] law officer. And in the legal fraternity, Azam Sahib knows
[00:26:34] that he is not only a lawyer with legal
[00:26:38] skills, but there is also a complete consensus in the entire legal
[00:26:42] fraternity that his integrity is beyond doubt.
[00:26:50] Sahib. He remained a caretaker provincial minister.
[00:26:54] Commerce. He was also a member of the NACTA expert
[00:26:57] committee. And he did his PhD from Netherlands in International
[00:27:01] Relations. A very well-known name. And he is formally
