[00:00:00] embassy has come forward
[00:00:01] of and said one of its citizens who was
[00:00:05] in
[00:00:05] a that deadly blast yesterday has now succumbed to injuries
[00:00:09] and lost his life, so that puts the death toll of
[00:00:13] yesterday's attack up to 13, and it's been a
[00:00:17] really tragic day in Saudi yesterday, we
[00:00:20] of lost a four Saudi citizens were killed a
[00:00:23] US citizen was killed along with many other
[00:00:27] nationalities in that blast that happened. but today, as the
[00:00:31] aviation authority is saying, they did
[00:00:34] of intercept the cruise missile. right now, at the moment,
[00:00:38] damages being assessed at the airport, operations at the
[00:00:41] airport are not um are are
[00:00:45] ceased right now, so as we know that if you want to take
[00:00:49] a flight out of
[00:00:50] of riad, the best thing to do is contact your airline, also
[00:00:54] check in with the government and with your embassy and um of
[00:00:58] course see what's happening. and on Thursday three people were also
[00:01:02] killed in a strike on the airport, so
[00:01:06] right now we are also seeing that there's been a real
[00:01:10] of escalation and we have had our reporters and teams at the
[00:01:16] of of hospital today inside of Riad along with the Saudi health minister visiting the
[00:01:19] victims from yesterday's airport
[00:01:24] of of blast and um seeing the extent of the injuries. okay so Lee we
[00:01:27] do understand there is... a statement on the part
[00:01:31] of the Saudi Lad coalition in response to this attack,
[00:01:35] especially on this airport, we we see pattern that has
[00:01:38] developed on the part
[00:01:40] of the huties when it comes to striking the critical
[00:01:43] infrastructure, whether it be
[00:01:46] the infrastructure related to
[00:01:49] of oil, whether it comes to the airports clearly
[00:01:53] happen to be
[00:01:54] of the civilian
[00:01:55] of interest
[00:01:56] of now, given that fact the the Saudi Coalition has
[00:02:00] spleged decisive response and
[00:02:03] described this action as a full fledged war
[00:02:07] crime, what could be the manifestation of that?
[00:02:11] of first of all, and secondly, when we talk about the security of such
[00:02:15] civilian infrastructure, including the
[00:02:18] airports, infrastructure related to
[00:02:21] oil,
[00:02:23] of what what
[00:02:24] are the preparation levels when it comes
[00:02:26] of to think such type of? acts on
[00:02:30] the part
[00:02:32] of of
[00:02:34] of just to reiterate, it's been a really sad moment in
[00:02:38] Riad over the last few days as the Houtis escalate
[00:02:42] attacks on civilian infrastructure, people are
[00:02:45] losing their lives,
[00:02:47] of Riad is continuing as normal to some extent, it's
[00:02:51] of conference and event season, so we do see those go ahead, but the
[00:02:55] Saudi Lad coalition, as you said has condemned yesterday's
[00:02:59] attack and they've called it a fully fledged war crime and it's
[00:03:03] on civilian infrastructure. right now there is going to
[00:03:07] of be decisive response. what that decisive response looks like
[00:03:11] is not clear at the moment. there are of course
[00:03:14] some options available to Saudi Arabia. they are
[00:03:18] backing Yemen's
[00:03:20] of international government at the moment in its fight against the hoothis inside of
[00:03:24] Yemen. back on Monday, we saw the
[00:03:27] in alien um the three countries Turkey. Pakistan and Saudi
[00:03:31] Arabia who are part
[00:03:32] of the Mecca Defense Alliance, they all met each
[00:03:36] other, there was an
[00:03:37] a emergency of meeting, they agreed to activate that pact, so
[00:03:41] right now we're just seeing wheels get into motion when it comes into
[00:03:45] that, but also we have a look inside of Yemen, we have
[00:03:48] seen the Yemeni government
[00:03:50] of forces and the Saudi coalition retake some of that
[00:03:54] critical area that the Hutis managed to
[00:03:58] a overcome last. so we've seen them retake
[00:04:02] babalmendeb straight, of course, mocka on
[00:04:04] of the red sea, which is really important because we must remember
[00:04:08] the baba mendeb straight is vital when it comes to
[00:04:12] oil transit, when it comes to shipping, it's one
[00:04:15] of the major toak points and as we know Iran is also trying
[00:04:19] to choke off the straight of homos at the moment, and what's interesting
[00:04:23] is
[00:04:23] of if you have look at the geography
[00:04:25] of the Babal Mendeb straight, it's very flat, so um...
[00:04:30] Saudi led coalition and the dawn of Yemen managed to make gains
[00:04:34] along there,
[00:04:37] of right, right, Mark coming back to you, Lee, please stay with us,
[00:04:40] Mark, when we talk about the civilian
[00:04:43] of infrastructure in particular, what could be the ideal options with the
[00:04:47] kingdom right now, in order to defend those, in order to
[00:04:51] ensure the safety
[00:04:52] of and of security
[00:04:52] of the critical civilian infrastructure such as the
[00:04:56] airports and the oil related infrastructure.
[00:05:02] Let me uh echo my uh fellow guest panelist comments, it's a sad
[00:05:05] day uh when any civilians are harmed uh in armed
[00:05:09] a conflict, and I would argue this isn't just armed conflict. "it's a terrorist
[00:05:13] attack uh that has now caused uh 13 deaths as she's
[00:05:16] reporting uh in Saudi Arabia, including one US
[00:05:19] individual. unfortunately Saudi Arabia is facing what many countries
[00:05:23] are right now, not just in the Gulf, but obviously Ukraine for instance as
[00:05:27] well, where the simply are not enough air defense assets to protect
[00:05:31] everything uh, and from a military standpoint and from
[00:05:34] economic standpoint, Saudi Arabia is trying to protect its
[00:05:38] military assets as well as its oil pipeline, which is its revenue for"
[00:05:42] survival uh that's so critical, especially that east-west
[00:05:45] pipeline uh, because uh without it as well as without
[00:05:49] pre-shipping uh through the red sea via the babal men dead straight as
[00:05:53] well uh Saudi Arabia has been forced to be routing tankers through
[00:05:56] the cape of good hope uh down around the Horn of
[00:06:00] Africa uh so
[00:06:01] you know that's not good i i don't know that there
[00:06:04] are any immediate uh answers to it because there's such a high
[00:06:07] demand for air defense assets at this point in time i know
[00:06:11] Pakistan itself is supplied your defense assets, and you've got
[00:06:15] 800 troops from past you, military
[00:06:18] agreements on the ground inside of of Saudi
[00:06:22] Arabia to try to protect the kingdom, but it's going to take more, and there's just a
[00:06:26] shortage these type of interceptors, because I don't think the hoothies are going to
[00:06:30] stop, they have to fight aasymmetrical war against Saudi
[00:06:33] Arabia, and they can't likely make a big impact on military
[00:06:37] installations uh in the kingdom, but they can
[00:06:40] you know do these heinous type attacks. as your own Pakistani prime
[00:06:44] minister Shaz said, they can commit these quote unquote heinous attacks
[00:06:48] against civilian sites and I think they'll continue to do that. I think the best
[00:06:52] defense sadly in this case is for Saudi Arab to go on the
[00:06:55] offense and to use its american partners as quickly as they can
[00:06:59] uh to take the fight to the hoothies and not wait um take the as we
[00:07:03] like to say in military analysis take the archer out the person
[00:07:07] firing these missiles
[00:07:08] uh don't try to intercept the missiles each time because that archer has many.
[00:07:12] missiles uh that you can deny him use of if you take him
[00:07:16] out right,
[00:07:18] now president Donald Trump was asked whether there could be
[00:07:22] a possibility the US involvement militarily, he responded by
[00:07:26] saying we may, now this response how is
[00:07:30] being it has been received in Saudi Arabia and
[00:07:34] what are the expectations the Saudies when it comes to the US
[00:07:38] in this regard? I just want to reflect
[00:07:41] something, the panelist said just before me when it comes to
[00:07:45] protecting civilian infrastructure, just from what I'm hearing
[00:07:49] from the ground and what I'm aware of is yesterday
[00:07:52] there were several missiles fired towards the airport
[00:07:57] a rapid rate and um it's very difficult I think you
[00:08:00] know
[00:08:01] as you did say redeploying um these patriot
[00:08:05] missile systems to certain areas - because um
[00:08:09] Saudi Arabia is absolutely vast um as your panelists. would
[00:08:12] say and also just the volume of attacks
[00:08:16] has um been something which has surprised many, especially
[00:08:20] someone who lives here like um myself, but yes we
[00:08:24] did hear from president Donald Trump, of course no definitive
[00:08:28] answer from President Donald Trump, he said he might he
[00:08:32] might not, so we haven't actually got a decision yet
[00:08:35] from the US, so we're still waiting on that decision, of
[00:08:39] course Marco Rubio to also condemned. what had
[00:08:43] happened at the international airport here came out and said that we
[00:08:47] stand with the Saudi, Saudi are allies and we do know
[00:08:51] that, but it's going to be really interesting to see what the US does at the moment, and the
[00:08:55] reason for that is of course they currently in negotiations with Iran. I
[00:08:59] know Iran has responded to the US response on the seven-day
[00:09:03] straight of Hamos proposal, and they said that the US response is
[00:09:07] insufficient, so we know right now the US is waiting for
[00:09:10] response. um from Iran, they've got that,
[00:09:14] it's probably not looking like that is going to lead to an agreement,
[00:09:18] and we must remember President Donald Trump right now is facing those mid-term
[00:09:22] elections in November, he's got a choice to make,
[00:09:26] domestically, it's highly unpopular in the U.S., his
[00:09:29] war with Iran, and I think the coming days and
[00:09:33] weeks will tell us on what's going to happen, because the mecca defense
[00:09:36] alliance, the plan is obviously to mobilize equipment
[00:09:40] as quickly as possible and to get... that interposition and the dawn of
[00:09:44] Yemen attacks and the dawnment of Yemen operation apologies
[00:09:48] which has been led by the Yemeny government and the Saudi Led coalition from
[00:09:52] the air could make major gains, so it's a weight and see
[00:09:56] holding pattern here, every time I speak to analys, they say that's the
[00:10:00] situation we're in. Right, one quick
[00:10:03] last question from you, Mark, does diplomacy stand any chance when it
[00:10:07] comes to de-escalating the situation between the Houtis and the
[00:10:11] kingdom?
[00:10:16] I think your guest panelist is saying it exactly
[00:10:20] right, this is a staalmate at this point in time, it's also
[00:10:24] kind of a quagmar. uh in part because the US elections,
[00:10:27] Iran is betting uh that they can win this war uh by uh
[00:10:31] weakening President Trump at the polls, and while he may be winken that's not
[00:10:35] going to stop him as commander and chief uh from being able to order or having the
[00:10:39] capacity to order uh future strikes. I would say
[00:10:43] just quickly and in defense the the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I would hope that the
[00:10:47] US would do more uh this kind of attack is unacceptable, and I would
[00:10:51] also quickly point out one other aspect to all of this, uh, it is creating
[00:10:55] interest in dynamic because Pakistan up to now has acted as
[00:10:58] mediator between the US and Iran, and for mediator you need to
[00:11:02] be objective, but if Pakistan is now taking the fight to the hooties
[00:11:06] uh directly or indirectly in Yemen, suddenly you're participant
[00:11:10] especially if as I, argue that it is, Iran that's
[00:11:14] behind the atuthi attacks, so everything is kind of spinning out of
[00:11:17] control, even though for now up until the midterms, I suspect for the most
[00:11:21] part uh it to be a
[00:11:42] first segment of today's show, in the second segment we are going to
[00:11:46] understand as to what is exactly the
[00:11:50] Indian authority, the led by Bharatiya Janata party government of
[00:11:54] course led by its prime minister, Narendra Modi
[00:11:57] is doing with massive demonstrations and the protests
[00:12:01] which have erupted in number of cities, most primarily when we
[00:12:05] talk about New Delhi and Mumbai, especially when we talk
[00:12:09] about the government crackdown against the protest testers
[00:12:13] in Delhi, Delhi has been put under
[00:12:17] the extreme security restrictions.
[00:12:20] Now what does that actually signif when the people are protesting?
[00:12:25] against an exercise by the Election Commission of
[00:12:28] India in connivance with the federal authorities, which is
[00:12:32] of course has already mentioned Bhartiya Janata party led by its prime
[00:12:36] minister Narendra Modi, when it comes to revising
[00:12:39] intensively the electoral
[00:12:43] roles, as per number of reports,
[00:12:46] 130 million people's names have
[00:12:50] been put off the electoral roles, what does
[00:12:54] that? what does that signif and it is
[00:12:57] happening under the garb the special
[00:13:00] intensive revision and the election commission
[00:13:04] the opposition parties say, especially when we talk about Indian National Congress,
[00:13:08] it's leader Rahul Gandhi, he has been put under brief
[00:13:12] detention, likewise when we talk about this
[00:13:15] crackdown, there are reports that more than 1000 people
[00:13:19] have been put under detention, there are barricades and
[00:13:22] even journalists have... been
[00:13:25] arrested and their mobile phones and their
[00:13:29] devices have been confiscated by the police and law
[00:13:32] enforcement agencies over there. the opposition blames bharatiya
[00:13:36] janata party and the election commission of india going for
[00:13:40] this exercise in order to
[00:13:43] eliminate the names the eligible voters, most particularly
[00:13:47] when we talk about the Muslim voters in order to give
[00:13:51] a disproportionate advantage to bhartiy. the party and
[00:13:55] there is pattern in that particular regard in certain
[00:13:59] constituencies where there was no government of bharatiya janata party
[00:14:02] before such revision of electoral roles, bharatiya janata
[00:14:06] party came into power after such
[00:14:09] revision, there are international concerns also being raised
[00:14:13] regarding this particular exercise on the part the election commission of
[00:14:16] India and the Bharattiya party let
[00:14:19] government to understand what exactly is happening
[00:14:23] when we talk about that claim. of being the largest democracy in the
[00:14:26] world, what does this show about the true nature
[00:14:30] of this so-called largest democracy in the world of
[00:14:34] India? for
[00:14:50] million voters names have been struck
[00:14:54] of. electoral roles in India
[00:14:58] under the so-called special intensive revision
[00:15:02] the electoral roles, how do you look at
[00:15:06] this particular act on the part the election commission of
[00:15:09] India? firstly and also when we talk
[00:15:12] about its
[00:15:15] connivance with the bhartiya janata party led government over
[00:15:25] democracy is dying, it's been dying for the last
[00:15:28] 12 years ever since BJP under Narendra
[00:15:32] Modi took office, but 12 years of
[00:15:36] dying has brought India's democracy to
[00:15:39] near fatal or near death state
[00:15:43] in which, as you just told your viewers,
[00:15:47] 130 million voters are being
[00:15:50] disenfranchised, for your Pakistani viewers,
[00:15:54] I'll put it into perspective, that the total number of
[00:15:58] Pakistani voters in 2024 was 136
[00:16:01] million, so essentially number of
[00:16:05] voters nearly equal to... "all of Pakistan's
[00:16:08] voters is being struck the roles
[00:16:12] and this is very
[00:16:15] determined and deliberate exercise to
[00:16:19] rig the vote, to finally
[00:16:23] disenfranchise minorities, particularly Muslims
[00:16:26] and also to use
[00:16:30] this very selective engineering tool to
[00:16:33] disenfranchise the new cockroat janta party."
[00:16:37] which is now protesting and its leaders have been arrested,
[00:16:41] but I think this
[00:16:45] 130 million Indians being struck the roles
[00:16:48] is essentially the culmination of a 12 year
[00:16:52] exercise in which
[00:16:55] the abolishing the special state of Kashmir,
[00:16:59] article 370 the Indian constitution back in
[00:17:02] 2019 and then afterwards the citizenship act
[00:17:05] in which again... "the same exercise was tried in
[00:17:09] which the citizenship itself, the government of India tried
[00:17:13] to take away again, the principal victims of Muslims
[00:17:16] and there is a systematic repression of minorities
[00:17:20] across India. what has changed, I think this is what
[00:17:24] in my view has brought India's democracy to near
[00:17:28] fatal level, that the
[00:17:32] animous the government, the repression the government has
[00:17:35] now spread. from minorities and muslims
[00:17:39] to all those who oppose it, so even
[00:17:43] Hindus or lower cast Hindus or educated
[00:17:46] students who are now opposing it, are facing the same kind of
[00:17:50] retribution that Muslims and minorites have faced
[00:17:53] in the last 12 years, in fact Muslims in Gujarat
[00:17:57] faced it a genocidal level at the hands of Narendra
[00:18:01] Modi back in 2002, but essentially this
[00:18:05] widening of repression from Muslim. to all those
[00:18:08] who oppose the regime, it has brought India's
[00:18:11] democracy, and I think it's very difficult to now call it
[00:18:14] democracy in which such widespread repression can
[00:18:18] take place. Exactly, we we see that
[00:18:22] widespread resentment among various stat the society, from
[00:18:26] Muslims it is expanding towards the other
[00:18:30] communities as well, when we specifically try to
[00:18:33] understand as to the international concern and...
[00:18:37] India which claims to be the largest democracy in the world, that there are
[00:18:41] international covenants when it comes to the universal declaration of
[00:18:45] human rights, the international covenant on civil and political
[00:18:49] rights, also the entire world
[00:18:53] happens to be very sensitive when it comes to the right to
[00:18:56] vote and such practices that ultimately lead to
[00:19:00] disenfranchisement of such huge chunk
[00:19:03] of population a certain
[00:19:06] country. isn't the world
[00:19:08] cognis, what is exactly happening right now in India
[00:19:12] and what should it be ideally? the world is sensitive to it, but because
[00:19:16] of India's size, particularly the size of its economy, and we should
[00:19:20] never forget the growth rate that it keeps
[00:19:24] deceiving the world with, in which now there is convincing
[00:19:27] evidence that India has been overestimating it growth
[00:19:31] numbers for again for decades
[00:19:34] now, but particularly under Bharatiya Janata Party. is
[00:19:37] rule, which I think now
[00:19:40] I again to be perfectly candid should be deemed a
[00:19:43] Hinditwa government in which
[00:19:46] it is trying to make sure that through
[00:19:49] its engineering and repression
[00:19:53] that it remains in power and the
[00:19:56] world has taken notice of it, but India's size and
[00:20:00] India's economic growth stats still force the world
[00:20:04] to do business, but as we have seen ' that there
[00:20:08] is there is a method to this
[00:20:12] madness that Narendra Modi is pursuing, but this
[00:20:15] madness has brought India's slowly bringing
[00:20:19] India's growth miracle to an
[00:20:21] end, lot of
[00:20:25] multinationals and other investments are leaving
[00:20:28] India and there is a flip side to this repression is that
[00:20:32] India's and this Hindutva governments
[00:20:36] entrenched. hatred of Pakistan and its
[00:20:39] war mungering against Pakistan has also made
[00:20:43] the world realize that
[00:20:47] region a which India keeps threatening with war and
[00:20:50] particularly with two nuclear arm neighbors exist side by side
[00:20:54] is that region which Narendra Modi can plunge
[00:20:58] into war any time is not a good destination for investment so that
[00:21:02] is India is also suffering not only from the
[00:21:05] international sensitivity to repression and voter
[00:21:09] fraud it is also now being paying the price for this war
[00:21:13] mungering against Pakistan by you know by
[00:21:16] economically directly and also of course
[00:21:20] Overall, if you look at the larger picture,
[00:21:23] India's alliance with the United States is
[00:21:27] also in trouble, because India has not proven to
[00:21:31] be the kind of foot soldier that the United States wanted against
[00:21:35] China, so many kind of
[00:21:39] what you say, vulnerabilities brought upon by the
[00:21:43] Hinditwa's you know systematic
[00:21:47] hatred and prejudice against.
[00:21:50] minorities and those who oppose it has now brought India to
[00:21:54] level in which the world is now, I think many the freedom
[00:21:57] house downgraded India's democratic credentials in this year's
[00:22:01] report, so India's democracy is dying, its international
[00:22:05] stature is is being shattered and now
[00:22:09] it's, I think it's going to be difficult two years until the next election
[00:22:13] for Narendra Modi right, Mr. Khan, there is another very
[00:22:17] interesting dimension, you already referred to briefly upon that. but also the
[00:22:21] cockroach Janata party. now there is a there is the
[00:22:25] pressure that is building upon the Bharatiyar the party led
[00:22:29] government. with these massive demonstrations in number of major
[00:22:32] cities including Mumbai, Delhi has been put under
[00:22:36] extreme security restriction also. now there is a brief
[00:22:40] history, the the cockroach general party was successfully able
[00:22:44] to get its demand met from the Bharatiya
[00:22:48] Janata party when the education... minister had to
[00:22:51] resign. now we know for fact there
[00:22:54] is backing from the opposition, indian national
[00:22:58] congress party as well, their leader was briefly detained though as
[00:23:02] well, with the corker janata party, other leading
[00:23:06] opposition parties and also there is also a hint on the part
[00:23:10] of Sunam Volkchok also who played a pivotal role in the
[00:23:14] last movement when it came to the resignation the education
[00:23:17] minister, this time around, the demand is
[00:23:21] the resignation the chief election commissioner,
[00:23:25] given that precedence, do you think there would be pressure amply
[00:23:29] mounted on Bharatiya party that they they once again
[00:23:33] would given or conceed to this new demand of this massive protest
[00:23:37] movement? i would like to point out
[00:23:40] that the one the symptoms of a
[00:23:43] prejudice based government is that it
[00:23:47] cannot bear independ institutions so for
[00:23:51] many decades now, more than two decades, India's
[00:23:55] election commission was sort the postered child of India's
[00:23:59] democracy, which you it was seen as a credible institution that
[00:24:02] despite all the corruption and mismanagement
[00:24:06] and embazzlement that happened in India, at least
[00:24:10] the Indian election commission was a credible institution that ran
[00:24:14] relatively fair elections, now that is no longer
[00:24:17] true, so similarly, "the another
[00:24:20] institution which became the cause the cockroach
[00:24:24] Janata party to come into being was the college entral system in
[00:24:28] which the examination system was exposed as
[00:24:32] rigged and so so many hundred thousands of young
[00:24:36] people who wanted to go into the Indian civil
[00:24:39] service realized that this again another
[00:24:43] institution that they believed in was rigged and
[00:24:47] corrupt and therefore they protested against it." It's very interesting that the
[00:24:51] handful of young people who have had no political experience, most them
[00:24:55] are under the age of 32, have have organized
[00:24:58] themselves into this this protest, but
[00:25:02] again this protest which is first was
[00:25:05] against the education minister, now they are protesting as the election
[00:25:09] commission, i it's too early to say whether the election
[00:25:13] commissioner would resign, but it's very clear that
[00:25:16] one major aspect of this Hindutva regime for the last 12.
[00:25:20] has been the slow decay of
[00:25:24] Indian institutions which is now exposed for all the world to
[00:26:15] Education has become the latest casualty of Hindutva
[00:26:18] politics as Muslim students are punished for excelling in
[00:26:22] Indian occupied Kashmir. Fascist Modi regime has shut down a
[00:26:26] medical college in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and
[00:26:29] Kashmir after the first bat soft. and overwhelming
[00:26:33] number of admissions of Muslim students, right-wing Hindu
[00:26:37] groups fueled by extremist Hindutva ideology under Prime Minister
[00:26:41] Modi demanded that the college should admit only Hindu
[00:26:45] students. The admissions to the medical college were finalized after
[00:26:48] India's national entrance examination test.
[00:26:52] Legislators the ruling BJP even petitioned the lieutenant
[00:26:56] governor to enforce religious discrimination,
[00:26:58] and so on the 6th of January, the National Medical Commission revoked the...
[00:27:02] college's
[00:27:03] recognition citing alleged deficiencies, move widely criticized as
[00:27:07] capitulation to religious extremists, rather than genuine
[00:27:11] educational concerns. chief minister of indian illegally occupied
[00:27:15] jammu and kashmir Abdullah condemned the BJP and its allied
[00:27:19] Hindu groups for targeting Muslim students, saying that the campaign had
[00:27:22] destroyed the future of aspiring doctors in Kashmir. Nasir
[00:27:26] Kuhihami the Jammu and Kashmir students association warned that framing
[00:27:30] education as Hindu. is Muslim was dangerously
[00:27:34] communalizing the sector. He stressed that institutions run by
[00:27:38] Muslim bodies across India do not exclude Hindu
[00:27:42] students. Naser termed religious segregation in the education
[00:27:45] as both discriminatory and deeply harmful to social
[00:27:49] cohesion. The closure the medical college further
[00:27:53] exposes the growing influence of Hindutva politics and Indian
[00:27:57] illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. raising serious
[00:28:00] questions about fairness. equality and the right of Muslim
[00:28:04] students to access
[00:28:06] education.
