[00:09:52] Hello and welcome to experts corner, this is Mahin
[00:09:54] Joffrey.
[00:10:00] Pakistan is there and it was mediator between
[00:10:03] it and the United States, so this this gives
[00:10:07] this defense agreement diplomatic
[00:10:11] angle. Saudi Arabian. got all these countries are going to find
[00:10:14] alternative
[00:10:15] roots.
[00:10:46] Good evening, you're watching views at seven with Manur Qureishi from Pakistan's
[00:10:50] frontline battle against terrorism to the streets of Europe
[00:10:54] echoing for the Justice for Gazar. Today's major
[00:10:57] development will highlight the challenges that are confronting the world in
[00:11:01] program views at seven will start with the intelligence based operations carried out by security
[00:11:05] forces in Pakistan which
[00:11:08] are the result the threat of militant attacks in
[00:11:12] Baluchistan. Meanwhile in Khair Pakhtunkhah the situation is quite
[00:11:16] complex. Khabar Pakhtun Khan underscores the need of coordinated strategy for the
[00:11:19] counter terrorism operation. We'll try to discuss and unfold different aspects of it
[00:11:23] and then we'll move forward. towards Europe where the streets are
[00:11:27] echoing for the with the slogans in favor
[00:11:30] of justice, the demands for justice in Gaza
[00:11:34] where we have seen the atrocities are faced by the
[00:11:37] Palestinian people and the world is actually raising
[00:11:41] its voice in the favor of Palestinian people, especially in the west
[00:11:45] bank of Gaza. We will try to unfold different aspects of it,
[00:11:48] especially that will this voice or will the concerns
[00:11:52] the international community translate. into the meaningful
[00:11:56] action or not, but will start with the current intelligence based operations
[00:12:00] in Pakistan, as Pakistan continues to face security challenges from militant groups
[00:12:04] operating in Balochistan and Khaibar Pakhtunk, making intelligence based
[00:12:07] operations, law enforcement and interagency coordination
[00:12:11] central to the counter terrorism efforts and on October 10, 2026,
[00:12:15] yesterday, the counter terrorism department reported killing 10
[00:12:19] suspected militants during intelligence based operation in Balochistan,
[00:12:23] while two CTD person. were injured in it. Prime Minister
[00:12:27] Shahbaz Sharief has stressed the combatting terrorism requires
[00:12:30] national unity, collective responsibility and in his recent remarks
[00:12:34] he criticized the lack of firm cooperation from the khibar pakhtunkhah
[00:12:38] government on counter terrorism arguing that the deteriorating security
[00:12:42] situation demanded a coordinated action, but there was
[00:12:46] not enough done by the government there. So right now the key question
[00:12:49] are
[00:12:50] you know how Pakistan can strengthen its counter terrorism strategy, improve its
[00:12:54] coordination. between the federal and the provincial authorities and
[00:12:57] address the security threat facing the country. Pakistan
[00:13:01] is conducting intelligence spaced operations in Balochistan while militant
[00:13:05] violence remains a serious concern in KP as well. So we'll
[00:13:09] discuss about the effectiveness of this
[00:13:12] intelligence based operations and the governor rule in KP as
[00:13:16] well
[00:13:17] in tonight so to discuss about that we are joined by brigadier retired Haris
[00:13:20] Nivas. He is defense analyst brigadier Haris welcome to program views at 7.
[00:13:25] considering the current situation in KPN Balochistan, how effective is the
[00:13:29] current counter terrorism strategy in preventing the attacks before
[00:13:32] they occur because you are a military man as well, you are defense analyst, how do you look
[00:13:36] at the current situation where we have seen the intelligence based operations are
[00:13:40] quite complex, quite different, quite advanced as compared to the previous
[00:13:44] operations, you see the problem is federal government
[00:13:48] was trying best cooperate with provincial government and they wanted
[00:13:52] to have a good coordination between federal and provincial
[00:13:55] government to carry
[00:13:57] out counter terror operation along with the security forces of pakistan, but the problem
[00:14:01] was there was very leuk warm response from the side of provincial
[00:14:05] government, they were not giving support, then they were not
[00:14:08] improving the the capacity building the police, then
[00:14:12] counter terrorism for lot of funds have been given then even
[00:14:16] then they couldn't find anything, no broad for vehicles, no
[00:14:19] latest equipment same goes for counter terrorism and that was the
[00:14:23] problem was coming up and then the problem was a good governance
[00:14:27] because the chief minister of KPK was always worried
[00:14:31] and coming towards daid and he
[00:14:34] wanted just to liberate his that's the end of
[00:14:38] it, but you must have remembered recently there was incident in
[00:14:41] Guhat, 17 police man were killed and got
[00:14:45] shahadat in the bomb attack, but he
[00:14:49] did not go to control the people, then he did not go to
[00:14:52] attend the funeral later on he did not even went to
[00:14:56] the the families who w
[00:14:58] suffering those got
[00:15:01] shahadat so that was the really leading very bad
[00:15:05] impression about it and he would not go not the first incident so many
[00:15:09] incidents he
[00:15:10] was he would not go he was more focused towards
[00:15:13] Islamabad long march then
[00:15:15] there was a lot of things using different languages he they had compromiseed with
[00:15:19] the terrorist particularly ttp that please don't bother
[00:15:23] us five district
[00:15:25] you do whatever we want to do in that area, but don't bother us, so
[00:15:29] that's what we were suffering, our troops security forces
[00:15:32] giving sacrifices and shahadat, then
[00:15:36] even you can... remember the pastoons, ladies, children, they
[00:15:39] were all giving this facing lot of
[00:15:42] difficulties, but the chief minister was not worried at
[00:15:46] all, so per force they had to go for this last
[00:15:50] option that they had to go for govern and emergency was impos
[00:15:53] in 12 districts. now the
[00:15:57] problem is, let tell you one thing, i think one thing
[00:16:01] will be good that at federal government, government governor of
[00:16:05] KPK, then they have got 11 people ad the council and they been all
[00:16:08] selected the best well educated
[00:16:12] reputed people who are going to go sit over their
[00:16:16] work under the leadership the governor the KPK and then
[00:16:19] we hope that now
[00:16:20] it is going to do better result because the problem was the field
[00:16:24] marshals said many times we are determined
[00:16:28] to eliminate terrorism from the country we are ready to give
[00:16:32] all sacrifices all shahad but then the problems of illegal
[00:16:36] spectrum in that the hundy money is coming, then narcotics
[00:16:40] smuggling, but smuggling offer cigares,
[00:16:43] tires, vehicle, that money was being funnel towards
[00:16:46] this organization, that was the main hurdle and
[00:16:50] this the KPK government ministers were also
[00:16:54] involved, the certain friends were involved, the quietly they were
[00:16:57] told, but they were not bothering about it, so ultimately this has to go and now
[00:17:01] when the whole system is going to work together in harmony when we say
[00:17:05] federal government then pk government and also security force, i think
[00:17:09] the result is going much much better and we hope it is going to work
[00:17:13] positively and we see very soon positive coming up
[00:17:16] and the more important thing is that the government kp
[00:17:20] government should gain the confidence of people of kpk that is
[00:17:24] very important with good governance and also look after
[00:17:27] their the people welfare, health, education
[00:17:31] all so that when the more the develop conf the
[00:17:33] better happen, well taken that's very...
[00:17:37] important because when we talk about the intelligence based operation, this
[00:17:40] time it is quite different, as we all know that the
[00:17:44] this time operations include the participatory approach, but the good
[00:17:47] governance is required in KP and
[00:17:50] Balochistan to actual you target the
[00:17:53] root cause of this kind
[00:17:55] of militancy there and especially the regrouping of terrorist networks
[00:17:59] there, to talk about that we are joined by security analyst Hassan Khan, Mr. Hassan,
[00:18:03] welcome to program views at seven, considering the current situation,
[00:18:07] just the recent CTD operation in Balochistan tell us about the role of
[00:18:11] intelligence gathering, the suvelers there, the targeted operations in
[00:18:15] dismantling the militant networks, because we have seen the dismentling the
[00:18:19] terrorist networks there and then the regrouping of it, especially the
[00:18:22] recruitment, the training of it, the narrative building, the propaganda by them on
[00:18:26] social media as well, so they are trying to use every
[00:18:29] other thing that is include that is
[00:18:33] actually given to them or that is available to them every
[00:18:37] res. force is used by them beat, the physical training beat, the training in the camps
[00:18:40] beat, the social media narrative building and how we know
[00:18:44] that the social media or the radio channels or their
[00:18:48] media, electronic media of our neighboring country is targeting the
[00:18:51] Bolouch youth, but what needs to be done in this regard when we talk about
[00:18:55] the dismentling of networks and to put pause to
[00:18:59] put a stop on regrouping the terrorist
[00:19:02] networks. thank you very much, i
[00:19:06] think look as this issue of terrorism is concerns, we have
[00:19:10] to differentiate between terrorism and
[00:19:14] law and order or security situation, terrorism
[00:19:18] need, okay, ss for the law and order or the general security
[00:19:21] situation is concerned, you can manage that simply through police
[00:19:25] or
[00:19:25] to the security establishment, however as for terrorism is concern, it needs
[00:19:29] a multirong strategy, particularly a whole the nation
[00:19:33] approach, there must be a government on board, the people will be on.
[00:19:37] and the security institutions will be on board as far balochistan is concerned so
[00:19:41] I think we are quite fortunate that as for the government there under surprise
[00:19:45] Bukti is concerns they are very much clear about the
[00:19:49] intentions these terrorist networks and their backers
[00:19:52] especially across the border are those supported by the Indian
[00:19:56] ecosystem as you rightly mentioned the digital
[00:19:59] footprints which they are which they have definitely the they are not
[00:20:03] only financially supported by the Indian government but they are
[00:20:08] in through others mean like in their planning and in their
[00:20:11] training etc. but they are also supported through
[00:20:15] digital networks which India have and definitely India is very good
[00:20:19] as for the digital this the digital
[00:20:22] technologies concern. however if you look
[00:20:26] at I think the the in khibar
[00:20:29] pakhtunkhah just let me talk about it in there
[00:20:33] was a difference in the provincial government was con
[00:20:37] confused and was also confusing the people, they were not
[00:20:41] clear, they were just, i think promoting the narratives the terrorist that this is
[00:20:45] foreigner war, this this is a war for money
[00:20:49] and and this foreign dic dictated war and they kept the people
[00:20:53] and the government away and left only the security
[00:20:56] people, the security forces and the police to fight these terror networks,
[00:21:00] so I think there is need, so as for Balochistan is
[00:21:04] concerned, that is clear, however the biggest challenge
[00:21:08] for is for fighting these terrorist networks
[00:21:12] inside Balochistan is to cut their supply line and that is
[00:21:16] from Afghanistan, in Afghanistan this not simply provide.
[00:21:20] them a permissive environment or a space to
[00:21:23] regrow and
[00:21:24] and and hide doubts. a way Taliban and
[00:21:28] al-qaida, the recent UN reports stated that they are
[00:21:32] providing supervisory role, what you call it
[00:21:36] a supervisory umbrella like things for the BLA for the
[00:21:39] TTP or other specifically those
[00:21:43] targeting of focusing on Pakistan, you might have, there were
[00:21:47] intelligence report that when BLA was corner in
[00:21:51] Balochistan, BLA and other terror networks which are which are
[00:21:55] committing terrorism in Balochistan when they were corner and they were
[00:21:59] facing lot of problem from the Pakistan security and and
[00:22:03] the government and the people so Afghan Taliban
[00:22:06] interven and they try to manage the
[00:22:09] shortage of people, the shortage of funds, the shortage are the
[00:22:13] change in strategy for Afghan Taliban and there were reports, you might have
[00:22:17] heard DG ISPR General Chaudhari. who elaborate the
[00:22:21] stated that how the Afghan
[00:22:24] Taliban under the supervision the Indian Intelligence
[00:22:27] agencies managed the shortage of people
[00:22:31] for the BLA by asking the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group
[00:22:35] to provide men and what you call
[00:22:39] it more fighters to the BLA so that is a
[00:22:43] big challenge and I think that is where cutting their supply line we have
[00:22:47] to be more focused on border management. "we have to be more
[00:22:51] focused on police and intelligence gathering and
[00:22:55] we have to, i think make the people more vigilant about the
[00:22:59] presence, about the slipper cells, about the sympathizers these
[00:23:02] terrorist networks, that's the only way we can succeed.
[00:23:06] well taken, wel discuss about the current situation of khibar
[00:23:10] pakhtunkhah as well, moving forward towards you brigadier Haris,
[00:23:14] governor's rule is imposed there, so if you talk about the law and order
[00:23:18] situation there, why has the militant foil" assisted in KP
[00:23:21] despite years of counter terrorism operations and counter terrorism
[00:23:25] strategy, what strategic gaps need to be addressed this time when we
[00:23:29] talk about the you know current governor's rule there and when
[00:23:33] we talk about the law and order situation in khiber pokhtun
[00:23:35] khang, you see please remember
[00:23:38] one thing, previously there was
[00:23:41] no good governance, they were not bothering about law and order situation and they were not
[00:23:44] supporting counter terrorism operation and they were worried only about one
[00:23:48] thing and they would look to or the Islamabad and there
[00:23:51] to go and liberate their leader,
[00:23:55] that's the only thing they had, they were not pus anything else where the
[00:23:59] people of KPK they are selecting for the good
[00:24:02] governance, and now you see the problem is when you improve
[00:24:06] the capacity the police and also then
[00:24:10] along with the counter terrorism force and then governor with 11
[00:24:14] advisory council, they all the best people and
[00:24:18] they sit together b strategy. and then they of course
[00:24:21] along with the security forces who going to go for intelligent based
[00:24:25] operation federal government will support we give the fund
[00:24:28] whatever they wanted so i think the all look are going to be covered whether
[00:24:32] it's a law and order or countert operations or
[00:24:36] good governance or well being the society because that
[00:24:40] is also very important if you develop the confidence
[00:24:44] the people of kpk towards governor
[00:24:48] rule and also the advis and the governor then things are going to
[00:24:52] go much much better around it and that is what is more
[00:24:55] important and first one month is very crucial if
[00:24:59] governor along with the dary council and
[00:25:03] its team they work together whole artity and they make chalk out a plan
[00:25:07] and every advisory counselor works out as for
[00:25:11] his charter of duty and they take the deliver get the confidence of
[00:25:15] people I think they are going to deliver it but most importantly you
[00:25:18] see there are two operation per day and most them are
[00:25:22] being conducted in KPK very less
[00:25:24] and so the day you develop the
[00:25:28] confidence the part people border border area
[00:25:32] people they are going to support the security forces they will tell where are
[00:25:36] the hiders these terrorists and
[00:25:39] their conduct operation they will kill them
[00:25:43] so the it will be more easy along with that all over Pakistan when I
[00:25:47] was the home minister in Singh I remember
[00:25:50] dispatled all Afghan refugees
[00:25:54] camps even in Punjab also, instan also and also
[00:25:57] sindh, but there are a lot of refugee camps are in
[00:26:01] KPK and that is the basica a problem
[00:26:03] for lawtion, this is the place, the big nursery for
[00:26:07] this terroris, they come and hide themselves, they get all
[00:26:10] facilitation, they get food, they get protection, they get
[00:26:14] connection, then they go and attack different targets whatever they
[00:26:17] selected, so they have to be immediately dismtered and they have to be
[00:26:21] sent back to their native country that is afghanistan, that is the
[00:26:25] formal job for the governor of kpk has to be done if they
[00:26:29] want should be eliminated very conveniently. along
[00:26:33] with that Pakistan has to take another step that we now on
[00:26:37] foreign office has to go to security council, they must tell them
[00:26:41] stop giving funding this terror
[00:26:45] taliban regime, if that is done, I think the b
[00:26:47] will be more. All right, all right, well
[00:26:51] taken, so now moving forward towards you hasan khan, considering the current situation
[00:26:55] and the latest speech by Prime Minister Shaz
[00:26:59] Sharif during his address, he called. counter terrorism
[00:27:03] a collective responsibility, so what practical steps are needed to
[00:27:06] translate this principle into coordinated national security
[00:27:10] policy, because we have seen the situation in KP, we have seen how
[00:27:14] our own youth is being played by the militant
[00:27:18] groups across borders, so what needs to be done in this regard when we talk about
[00:27:22] the national coordinated policy, be it for when it comes
[00:27:26] to the national coordinated policy, all the provinces are you coming under its
[00:27:30] umbrella, so what needs to be done in this regard? when we talk about a
[00:27:34] holistic approach because we have already discussed about the
[00:27:37] inclusion or the advancement of this time counter
[00:27:41] terrorism operations, intelligence based operations, but one
[00:27:45] thing that is the governance we are lacking behind, what needs to be done in this
[00:27:48] regard or should it be a part and parcel of national security
[00:27:52] policy? look, i
[00:27:56] think the first and foremost thing while fighting the
[00:27:59] terrorism are the as for the anti-terror. is concerned
[00:28:03] is the ownership and the political leader must take ownership
[00:28:07] of this war. unfortunately in Pakistan we have
[00:28:11] outsourced this fight against terrorist
[00:28:14] terrorism to the security institutions and no doubt the
[00:28:18] security institutions are conducting kinatic operations and hundreds
[00:28:21] of almost more than almost a hundred thousand kinatic
[00:28:25] operations have been done during the last three four years,
[00:28:29] but you know the result is you know the the terrorists are advancing
[00:28:33] and they are taking their footprints to more and more area like
[00:28:37] to currently 12 districts ofwa are under
[00:28:41] the sev under the influence of various terror networks and i think
[00:28:44] some are on the borderline like d, savat, bajald,
[00:28:48] etc. and mardan, you might have seen there were
[00:28:52] there are still and there were drawn strikes inside mardan, mardan
[00:28:56] is a central district, it's just just i think minutes away from
[00:28:59] Islamabad, so the first thing is unfortunately in KP
[00:29:03] till date was lacking was the political ownership of this
[00:29:07] fight against terrorism, not only in KP, even the
[00:29:11] federal government, the political establishment
[00:29:14] also kept their silence over the
[00:29:17] way, this fight against terror was concerned, we were
[00:29:21] witnessing our brave soldiers from security forces and
[00:29:25] police, they were falling in the line of duty, daily we were
[00:29:28] witnessing their their funeral prayers, their homes, their families.
[00:29:34] and their moral was no doubt, i think we were, we are proud
[00:29:38] them, we are proud their parents were proudly saying
[00:29:42] that we have sacrificed our sons, our brothers and husbands
[00:29:45] and fathers for the for the motherland,
[00:29:49] unfortunately the political ownership of this fight was
[00:29:53] liking till that, now hope yes there is a change in
[00:29:56] command in khibar pakhtunkha political seat, so now i
[00:30:00] see that it's not only "the political leadership in
[00:30:04] khebar will take ownership of this war, the
[00:30:07] federal political establishment will definitely
[00:30:11] not only just leave it to the provincial government or the provincial
[00:30:15] new administration, they will go together and as I
[00:30:19] said earlier, to fight against terrorism you have to combine all
[00:30:23] the three major element and that is one is the people, other is the government and the
[00:30:27] third is the security forces,
[00:30:29] not if if one these three links is missing if..." 'even
[00:30:33] if you take the people out of it, even then
[00:30:36] you can't fight for this war against the terrorism. the same is for the
[00:30:40] government, so i think this time i am pretty
[00:30:44] sure that we need to have realized what was lacking
[00:30:48] in our fight against terrorism, why we failed to
[00:30:51] control the the advancement of terrorist networks in
[00:30:55] various areas, no doubt Afghanistan, they are using Afghanistan, the
[00:30:59] supply line
