[00:03:19] Welcome back, now the news in detail. President Asif Ali Zardari,
[00:03:23] on the advice of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, has imposed emergency in Khyber
[00:03:26] Pakhtunkhwa under Article 232 and 234 of
[00:03:30] the Constitution of Pakistan. Given the gravity of the situation, the
[00:03:33] President signed the summary sent to him by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on the
[00:03:37] recommendation of the cabinet for exercising his constitutional authority and
[00:03:41] imposing emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under Articles
[00:03:44] 232 and 234 of the Constitution. Earlier, the Federal
[00:03:48] Cabinet was briefed on the law and order
[00:03:50] this is situation and the provincial government's deliberate disengagement from the fight against terrorism and the
[00:03:54] deteriorating situation of affairs regarding terrorism in Khyber
[00:03:58] Pakhtunkhwa. The cabinet conducted a detailed review of the situation, taking
[00:04:02] into account the worsening law and order conditions in Khyber
[00:04:05] Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:04:11] sisters, I particularly Federal Interior Minister Mohsin
[00:04:14] Naqvi says month-long efforts to secure KP government's cooperation
[00:04:18] against terrorism failed due to differences with PTI leaders. Law
[00:04:22] Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar says the federal government acted within the constitutional
[00:04:26] framework while Information Minister blames the KP
[00:04:30] approach for worsening security. Meanwhile, the federal government has formed an
[00:04:34] 11-member advisory council to oversee key departments in Khyber
[00:04:37] Pakhtunkhwa. More in this report by Anam
[00:04:40] Abbasi. After the declaration of
[00:04:43] emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the federal ministers held a
[00:04:47] crucial joint press conference in Islamabad today and
[00:04:50] revealed the complete inside story of what
[00:04:54] led to the difficult decision of declaring emergency in
[00:04:58] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The senior minister Mohsin Naqvi said a sharp
[00:05:02] increase in terrorism, citing 195% rise
[00:05:05] in terrorist incidents and 103% increase in
[00:05:09] casualties over one and a half year. He stated that
[00:05:12] 518 police personnel have been murdered since January
[00:05:16] 2024 and identified 12 districts
[00:05:18] as severely affected by terrorism. So,
[00:05:22] the fundamental grounds for imposition of emergency
[00:05:26] are law and order,
[00:05:29] fight against terrorism and to
[00:05:32] save innocent people from from from the dreadful
[00:05:35] consequences of terrorist activities. Information
[00:05:38] Minister accused that PTI-led
[00:05:41] provincial government of failing to maintain law and order
[00:05:45] and alleged that the militant groups had expanded their
[00:05:48] influence in the province. This, this, this
[00:05:51] government, which has been suspended
[00:05:54] through a constitutional option, is
[00:05:57] responsible for the deaths of thousands
[00:06:00] of citizens
[00:06:04] their pro TTP, pro TTA
[00:06:07] policies. These were people who are
[00:06:10] apologists for these terrorists, sympathizers
[00:06:13] who have always been sympathizers. And let me also remind you
[00:06:16] that the policy of TTA towards women has been
[00:06:20] reflected by the KPK government with regard to women's
[00:06:24] rights, with regard to women's education. You may like to look at the statistics, how
[00:06:29] their right to livelihood and their right to
[00:06:32] education. He presented the proposed advisory council as a
[00:06:36] team of technocrats, experienced officials and
[00:06:39] professionals tasked with improving governance
[00:06:43] and administration. The ministers maintained that the intervention
[00:06:46] was intended to address worsening terrorism, restore
[00:06:49] effective governance and strengthen coordination between the
[00:06:53] federal government and security institutions. Anam
[00:06:56] Abbasi, Pakistan TV.
[00:07:47] This is news just in. KP Advisory Council meeting
[00:07:50] is presided by the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in
[00:07:54] Peshawar today, where the entire council is
[00:07:58] meeting after the imposition of the
[00:08:00] emergency.
[00:08:03] Governor Governor Faisal Karim Kundi is
[00:08:07] conducting an advisory council meeting
[00:08:10] where he will discuss the upcoming...
[00:13:58] Everyone knows you. Thank you very much. I congratulate
[00:14:02] all participants, all members
[00:14:05] of the advisory council. Today is
[00:14:09] our first advisory council meeting.
[00:14:12] Along with congratulations,
[00:14:15] also a difficult decision.
[00:14:19] It's not that easy. You face many
[00:14:22] challenges. You will have to face them,
[00:14:25] and definitely your assigned
[00:14:29] portfolios, your ministers,
[00:14:32] your secretaries will brief you on them. So, we'll
[00:14:36] give you a few days to get briefings in your ministries.
[00:14:39] What things are good that we can keep, what changes can we bring, what
[00:14:43] can we do? So, with some passage of
[00:14:46] time, we will officially take briefings on it,
[00:14:49] but one thing is that we have to fast-track these things.
[00:14:53] There is zero tolerance for corruption, and we have to follow
[00:14:57] things. Not just form committees and then give them a month or two
[00:15:00] and then forget about them. So, whatever the
[00:15:04] timing, things will happen according to that timing. If
[00:15:07] the state, the federation,
[00:15:10] the people have trusted you, it's so that you
[00:15:14] deliver and show a difference between the past
[00:15:17] and today. If you can't show a difference,
[00:15:20] then there will be no difference between us and the previous ones. Therefore,
[00:15:24] because the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially those who have
[00:15:27] been victims of terrorism, and our first point
[00:15:31] is definitely our law and order, our extremism and
[00:15:34] terrorism. And there is no doubt about
[00:15:38] our support for our police,
[00:15:45] There is no compromise on that, because first and foremost
[00:15:49] is peace, and then there are other things like development.
[00:15:53] We will definitely take up these things when
[00:15:56] you spend a few days in your
[00:15:58] ministries, and once things
[00:16:02] You should also get suggestions about what good suggestions exist that
[00:16:06] we can continue, what other good things are there. And
[00:16:12] with any province, saying that if this thing is in Punjab, or
[00:16:15] if this thing is in Sindh, or if this thing is in Balochistan, then I cannot
[00:16:19] copy it. We can definitely copy good things,
[00:16:22] we can improve them. Our good things, maybe they will copy
[00:16:26] them, but it won't be that if Punjab is doing this work, I am not
[00:16:29] doing it, if Sindh is doing this work, or Balochistan is doing this work, I am not doing
[00:16:33] this work. We have to follow that, and we also have to do things
[00:16:37] that maybe they will follow. We have to look at this target, what things
[00:16:40] we should do, because whenever we go to any corner
[00:16:43] of Pakistan, anywhere in the world, when we say we are from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the first
[00:16:47] question asked is about extremism and terrorism. So, that shouldn't happen.
[00:16:51] We have to build a soft image. We have
[00:16:54] many natural resources that Allah has given
[00:16:58] us. We are the province that produces the most
[00:17:02] gas and oil. We are the
[00:17:05] second or third largest gas-producing province.
[00:17:07] We have abundant water. We have cheap electricity.
[00:17:11] We have mines and mills. We have tourism.
[00:17:14] We have religious tourism. We have tobacco.
[00:17:18] We have all these things under one umbrella, which
[00:17:22] perhaps no other province has to this extent. So, this is an opportunity
[00:17:25] for us that if, first and foremost, there is peace, if
[00:17:29] peace comes, then you will have tourists, you will have investors,
[00:17:32] everyone will come to invest in you. So, Inshallah,
[00:17:36] I fully support you. I am
[00:17:40] available for you 24/7. Whenever you need anything
[00:17:44] in any matter, you approach me, and
[00:17:47] Inshallah, together we will work for the peace, development, and prosperity
[00:17:51] of this province. And we also hope from you that you will work
[00:17:55] 24/7 on a fast track so that
[00:17:58] we can show a result to those who have trusted us, at least
[00:18:02] to show them a result that we have lived up to your trust.
[00:18:06] So, these were my suggestions. I also have something for
[00:18:09] my and for the people
[00:18:12] of the province. We have also prepared a message from
[00:18:16] our advisory council. That
[00:18:19] too, through our advisory
[00:18:22] council, we will also deliver it to them. And
[00:18:25] Inshallah, our and your interaction will remain
[00:18:28] like this.
[00:18:40] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. My dear brave, patriotic,
[00:18:43] and proud people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Assalam
[00:18:47] Alaikum. Today, I address you not
[00:18:50] as the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but
[00:18:54] as a companion who understands the sorrows of this province,
[00:18:57] its difficulties, and the hopes of
[00:19:00] its people. Today,
[00:19:03] in the country and particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:19:06] in view of an extraordinary situation, certain necessary
[00:19:10] steps have been taken under the constitution.
[00:19:13] In today's discourse, I do not
[00:19:16] want to engage in political debate or blame.
[00:19:19] My message is only
[00:19:23] one: to bring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa back to
[00:19:26] peace, security, stability, and development.
[00:19:30] My brothers and sisters,
[00:19:34] the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have paid a very heavy price
[00:19:37] for terrorism. We have seen
[00:19:41] our brave police personnel, army soldiers, levies
[00:19:44] personnel, government employees, scholars,
[00:19:48] teachers, traders, and ordinary citizens
[00:19:51] sacrifice their lives. Mothers have
[00:19:55] lost their sons, children have lost their parents, families
[00:19:59] have lost their loved ones. Now
[00:20:02] the time has come that after this sacrifice, the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:20:06] should be given peace. Our
[00:20:09] war is against terrorism. Our
[00:20:12] war is against that ideology, that network,
[00:20:16] and that environment that breeds terrorism,
[00:20:19] that allows terrorism to flourish,
[00:20:21] that facilitates it, and
[00:20:24] weakens the rule of law.
[00:20:27] And I want to state this very clearly.
[00:20:31] Pashtuns are not the problem of
[00:20:35] terrorism. The Pashtun people
[00:20:38] are the biggest victims of terrorism. Therefore,
[00:20:42] the state is determined that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:20:45] will be liberated from terrorists and will be provided
[00:20:49] an environment where their children
[00:20:52] can go to school without fear, do business,
[00:20:55] travel, and dream of
[00:20:58] their future. My first
[00:21:01] priority will be peace and the protection
[00:21:04] of the people. At this time,
[00:21:08] our biggest priority is effective and coordinated action against
[00:21:12] For this purpose, the capacity of the police and CTD
[00:21:16] will be enhanced. The police will be provided with necessary resources, training,
[00:21:19] technology, intelligence support, and modern
[00:21:23] equipment and capabilities to combat terrorism,
[00:21:26] with full attention.
[00:21:29] We want that a police officer
[00:21:33] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should not be alone against
[00:21:36] a terrorist. The state should stand behind
[00:21:39] him. We will not abandon our police
[00:21:43] martyrs and their families either. The second important
[00:21:46] priority is to improve the writ
[00:21:50] of the state in the insurgent districts.
[00:21:54] My brothers and sisters
[00:21:57] in these areas, you have endured the most difficulties.
[00:22:01] Terrorism, displacement, lack
[00:22:04] of basic facilities, and prolonged deprivation
[00:22:08] have made your life difficult and arduous.
[00:22:11] Now our focus will be on ensuring
[00:22:15] that these districts are not just part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:22:19] on the map, but also share equally
[00:22:22] in development, education, health, employment, roads,
[00:22:25] electricity, water, and administrative facilities.
[00:22:28] It is the state's duty that where deprivation is greater, there
[00:22:32] should be greater attention. My third
[00:22:34] priority will be to provide services to the
[00:22:38] people. The true test of a government
[00:22:41] is not statements,
[00:22:44] but the facilities provided to the people.
[00:22:47] Our focus will be on government hospitals, schools...
[00:23:14] We will work towards making the administration accountable and
[00:23:17] empowering the people. The
[00:23:21] final but most important priority will be the elimination of the entire
[00:23:24] ecosystem of terrorism. We cannot solve
[00:23:28] the problem by merely targeting terrorists.
[00:23:31] We must also eliminate the facilitators,
[00:23:35] financial support, recruitment, extremism,
[00:23:38] extremist networks, illegal weapons,
[00:23:41] narcotics, illegal movement, and other supporting
[00:23:45] systems according to the law.
[00:23:48] Effective implementation of the National
[00:23:51] Action Plan and all relevant counter-terrorism
[00:23:55] measures will be our priority.
[00:23:58] Whoever commits terrorism,
[00:24:01] the law will take action against them. Whoever
[00:24:04] facilitates it, the law will
[00:24:08] also reach them. This action
[00:24:12] will not be against any nation, language, region,
[00:24:15] or political affiliation. It will be solely
[00:24:19] against lawbreakers. My
[00:24:21] youth, you are the future
[00:24:25] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. You do not want a future
[00:24:28] of terrorism, violence, and deprivation.
[00:24:31] You want education, employment, sports fields,
[00:24:34] technology, business opportunities, and a society
[00:24:38] where you can fulfill your dreams.
[00:24:42] We will not let your dreams be buried under the shadow of
[00:24:45] terrorism. It is the responsibility of the state
[00:24:49] to give our youth not a gun,
[00:24:52] but a pen, a book, skills, employment,
[00:24:56] and hope. My elders, mothers, and
[00:25:01] want to say to those mothers who lost their sons
[00:25:04] in the war against terrorism: your
[00:25:08] sacrifices will not be in vain. We assure those families that
[00:25:12] the state has not forgotten them.
[00:25:15] I want to assure the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that this
[00:25:18] extraordinary administrative measure is not intended
[00:25:22] to target any political party, individual, or
[00:25:26] segment of society. The objective is only
[00:25:29] one: to make state institutions effective, restore the rule
[00:25:33] of law, eliminate terrorism, and provide peace and
[00:25:37] facilities to the people. Whoever
[00:25:40] abides by the law will be given full
[00:25:44] protection. The fundamental rights of
[00:25:47] every citizen will be respected, and state
[00:25:51] actions will proceed according to the constitution and law.
[00:25:54] My dear compatriots, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is our home.
[00:25:58] This is the land that gave Pakistan brave
[00:26:02] soldiers, police martyrs, great
[00:26:05] scholars, teachers, doctors, engineers,
[00:26:08] traders, athletes, and laborers.
[00:26:12] We will not let this land remain a land of fear.
[00:26:15] We will make it a land of peace.
[00:26:19] We will make it a land of development. We will make
[00:26:22] it a land of opportunities. And above all, we will make
[00:26:26] it a safe, stable, and prosperous
[00:26:29] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in accordance with the aspirations
[00:26:33] of its people. I seek your cooperation and assure
[00:26:36] you that I will stand shoulder to shoulder with all of you
[00:26:40] to make Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a haven of peace
[00:26:43] for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, leaving no stone unturned.
[00:26:47] I request you to report
[00:26:50] any suspicious activity, terrorism, or facilitation
[00:26:53] related information to the relevant
[00:26:56] authorities. Support your police.
[00:27:00] Remember your martyrs. And give hope
[00:27:03] to your children. And above all,
[00:27:06] believe in the future of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:27:10] The difficulties are great, but our resolve is even
[00:27:14] greater. Inshallah, peace will return to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:27:18] Inshallah, the writ of the state
[00:27:21] will be strengthened. Inshallah, the future of our youth
[00:27:24] will be secure and bright. And Inshallah,
[00:27:27] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will again move towards peace, development,
[00:27:30] and prosperity. Long live Pakistan!
[00:27:34] Long live Khyber Pakhtunkhwa!
[00:27:36] Just for your
[00:27:39] information, along with this
[00:27:42] speech we gave today, as you were informed,
[00:27:46] an Apex Committee meeting is also going to be held

[00:27:53] my staff has your numbers, so the committee meeting will be held

[00:28:24] wishes for you, and Inshallah, we have to work
[00:28:34] chairs the first meeting of the newly constituted KP Advisory
[00:28:37] Council. The Governor said that the 11-member Advisory Council formed for
[00:28:41] KP Province. He said that zero tolerance on corruption will
[00:28:44] be the mandate of this council. He also said that we should make
[00:28:48] tangible differences with our appointments. The Governor
[00:28:51] also said that security remains paramount to our commitment. He also said
[00:28:55] that we should make efforts to eliminate terrorism from the
[00:28:58] province. The Governor of Pakhtunkhwa
[00:29:01] said that we should replicate good policies of other
[00:29:04] provinces. He said that we need to build a soft image for the
[00:29:08] province. The Governor further stated that we are
[00:29:12] blessed with numerous resources. We should use them to improve our situation of
[00:29:15] Khyber
[00:29:16] Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:29:21] Now we go live to our correspondent Musharraf Zahoor to discuss the key points of
[00:29:25] this important joint press conference.
[00:29:29] Mush, welcome to Pakistan TV.
[00:29:33] Yes,
[00:29:35] with the emergency and with this new advisory council, what how do you
[00:29:39] see them tackling the situation, security situation in the
[00:29:42] province? Well, as we have heard
[00:29:46] that Governor
[00:29:48] KP has just chaired an 11-member
[00:29:52] advisory council that has been set up immediately after
[00:29:55] the promulgation of emergency
[00:29:59] under unavoidable circumstances. As
[00:30:02] the Governor has quoted in his, you
[00:30:06] know, in the meeting by the Governor,
[00:30:10] he stated that their prime objective
[00:30:13] would be to establish law and order in the
