[00:08:44] the the national action plan has been by all the parties [00:08:48] and endosed by all the parties, more over all the provinces are [00:08:51] also committed and they have got a specific role, that [00:08:55] is the police is supposed to be equippept with modern weapons, [00:08:59] their capacity is supposed to be increased more so [00:09:03] the CTD, they are also to be given the [00:09:06] training to fight against these terror outfits [00:09:10] and more so uh the narrative of all the [00:09:14] provinces as well as the for federal government, there should be in one [00:09:18] page and the the ownership the war is [00:09:22] to be taken by all the provinces, because [00:09:25] it is the war against the people of Pakistan and all [00:09:29] the provinces are the units of Pakistan [00:09:32] and more so we should operate under the constitution and [00:09:36] constitutional requirement is that the safety, security [00:09:40] and integrity Pakistan, is the [00:09:43] responsibility of all the citizens, all the provinces [00:09:47] and all the institutions, that may be [00:09:51] the parliament, that may be the senate or that may be the provincial [00:09:55] assemblies and more so the departments which are the [00:09:58] provincial responsibility as well as the federal government [00:10:02] responsibility, so there should be union and there should be [00:10:06] jointness and action as well as narrative, we should not give [00:10:10] such sort of statements or narratives. or a sorts [00:10:13] of you can say [00:10:16] virtures where the enemy could take a lead from it [00:10:20] and the narrative is then [00:10:22] the in the... social media and other [00:10:26] platforms that is made against the Pakistan security [00:10:29] forces as well as the Pakistan integrity, [00:10:33] because this war is an existential threat to [00:10:37] the existence of Pakistan, politics is there [00:10:41] in Pakistan, but if Pakistan is not there, there will be no politics [00:10:44] and more so the all the all the the the [00:10:48] political parties are operating in their own [00:10:52] manifestos, but under the law and under the... institution [00:10:56] and that's why these elections and are things are conducted so [00:11:00] as far as the provinces are concerned so provinces [00:11:03] are sup to be playing their own [00:11:07] role against the terrorism and whatsoever are [00:11:10] the resources as their disposal that is the police, [00:11:14] the CTD, [00:11:15] the paramilitary forces, the maximum use should be take [00:11:19] up the and more so the epics committee as well as [00:11:22] the security committee. the [00:11:26] which are held at the federation basis as well as in the [00:11:30] provincial capitals, there should be a proper [00:11:34] monitoring of that and more so the strips should be taken which are [00:11:38] visible and which are supported supportive the overall [00:11:42] plan or the overall narrative against the [00:11:44] terrorism. absolutely, so as Pakistan has [00:11:48] describe the presence the ban TDP and other terrorist groups in [00:11:52] Afghanistan as a threat to regional peace. What implications does [00:11:56] it have for regional [00:11:57] security? [00:12:00] well recently we have [00:12:03] the mosco format and [00:12:06] there also Pakistan representative [00:12:09] Mohammad, [00:12:14] he gave very explicit view therism [00:12:18] which is eminating from Afghanistan and the [00:12:22] all the other countries are the member states for agreeing to the [00:12:25] Pakistan statement as well as it concern that [00:12:28] Afghanistan is becoming safe heaven [00:12:32] or a sort of country from where [00:12:36] this terrorism is oozing out and the [00:12:39] first implication of [00:12:43] this terrorism will be on the regional countries and more [00:12:47] so the United Nations has also said the same thing in the [00:12:50] security council that the Afghan Afghanistan borders are [00:12:54] becoming unsafe for the region as well as for the [00:12:57] international peace and the third thing is that there are so many [00:13:01] reports where the alqaida has remarged and it is [00:13:05] providing training to these terrorist outfits, the daesh is [00:13:09] also there which has got an international agenda, so all [00:13:13] these things put together, the regional peace is of [00:13:16] course at stake as far as the [00:13:19] Afghanistan regime is concerned and especially [00:13:23] regime which is supportive. these terrorist [00:13:26] outfits which are being hosted and which are [00:13:29] being lodged in their territory [00:13:33] and the way they are being provided with these weapons [00:13:36] and more so the way they are taking their side [00:13:40] because it was the afghan foreign minister [00:13:43] who scuttled the joint statement because he said [00:13:47] there are so many references as far as Afghanistan [00:13:51] is concerned in the context of terrorism and counter. [00:13:56] so that was hiding from the facts and as well as [00:13:59] sabotaging this very format, so other forums are [00:14:03] also there where the mediation took place by Turkey, by Qatar, by [00:14:07] Saudi Arabia, by China, but they are in the deny [00:14:11] mode, and that's why our special representative said [00:14:14] that first of all they should confess unless they come out from this [00:14:18] denial mode, so the progress cannot be made, so first [00:14:22] is the acceptance and then is the dialogue. and then will be the [00:14:26] progress, but they were having the cheeks, the [00:14:29] muttaki foreign minister of Afghan regime, they [00:14:33] it will be believe in dialogue and we want in [00:14:36] cooperation and brotherly literation and neighborhood, [00:14:40] but all these are being flouted as far as the actions [00:14:43] are concerned, as far as their practical [00:14:46] manifestation as well as support to these terrorist [00:14:50] outfitters are concerned, and they are not only a thread to Pakistan, [00:14:55] because das is operating against all the country, there were [00:14:59] did the sabatage activities in Russia which took place, there were [00:15:03] separage activities which was in the Tajikistan as well, in [00:15:07] Iran as well and more so eastern Turkamanistan Islamic moon it [00:15:11] is also there, al Qaida is there which is a thread to the whole world [00:15:14] peace, Daesh is there which is a thread to [00:15:18] eminated from the Middle East and now it is in the [00:15:21] subcontinent, so it is a common threat and common threat. [00:15:25] should be addressed and countered with the with [00:15:29] the common purpose and common narrative as well [00:15:32] as common [00:15:46] on this topic, we have been joined by retired ali. welcome to [00:15:50] Pakistan TV sir, thank you very much. yes, Pakistan has [00:15:54] suffered substantial human and economic losses in the war on [00:15:57] terror. what additional steps are needed to ensure that counter [00:16:01] terrorism operations produce lasting peace rather than temporary [00:16:04] security gains. yes, you [00:16:07] right, Pakistan has suffered financial [00:16:11] losses, Pakistan has suffered human losses, there will be more than [00:16:15] 40 to 50000 people who [00:16:17] have been sacrificed their life and other than the security forces [00:16:21] which are constantly combatting the set [00:16:25] of terrorism not only inside Pakistan but right on the border [00:16:28] also you see day before yesterday [00:16:31] there was a tashiel which was intercepted at the border and 12 terrorists were [00:16:35] killed in. in the that process [00:16:38] Pakistan security forces are also suffering human losses, the [00:16:42] officers, [00:16:46] are constantly being targeted, the ambushes which are taking [00:16:50] place and the activities the terror [00:16:54] terrorist are increasing their day by day and it is being [00:16:58] said by the international the global terror index [00:17:01] portal says that Pakistan stand number one at the terrorism [00:17:05] related activity so there are two aspects [00:17:08] to it which have to be there are three aspects to it which have to be looked [00:17:12] upon, one is that the the internally whatever whatever [00:17:16] is happening and whatever the safe places there are intelligence based operations [00:17:20] which are going on and pakistan is targeting all the work [00:17:24] trying to target those places where these [00:17:28] terrorist mur [00:17:31] houses which are available in the region other than there [00:17:35] is an external aspect aspect to it falls in the [00:17:39] two two domains, one is the domain the kinetic [00:17:43] operation, because there is nexus of [00:17:46] Afghanistan, India [00:17:50] and Israel which is fighting against Pakistan, which is funding [00:17:53] terrorism, which are funding terrorist, which are housing terrorist and all [00:17:57] the activities which are all the all the assets, all the [00:18:01] money which is coming to these tar, because they do not fight without money, [00:18:05] remember that they are, they are paid they are paid in dollars and [00:18:09] their families are even looked after so that money is coming through the [00:18:12] Israel through India so there is a they are being housed in [00:18:16] Afghanistan so kinatically their location which [00:18:20] are giving where they are house their safe places are there [00:18:24] their leadership is hiding there for to counter that [00:18:28] Pakistan is genetic operation cross country there [00:18:31] are air force which is being use there which are taking place there [00:18:35] are indirect activities which are being but and second [00:18:38] aspect to [00:18:39] the stand is the reaction the world and in the reaction the world [00:18:43] there are two things which have to be counted what is the bilateral which [00:18:47] Pakistan tries to undertake with Afghanistan so this from the Afghanistan [00:18:51] side there is negativity third is the involvement the [00:18:55] international pair no international player get involved other than China [00:18:58] China has been taken lot of [00:19:02] retaliatory measure also [00:19:04] and China has been taking the diplomatic measure also there is special of [00:19:08] China which has been constantly talking to [00:19:11] Afghanistan, because it's not only Pakistan which [00:19:15] which Pakistan is affected nowadays, but in the longer [00:19:19] term there is daish also, there etim also itim [00:19:23] is there, in Chinese sing provinces where Muslim [00:19:27] majority under that and ETIM is basically [00:19:30] organization which undertakes terrorist activities in China, it has been [00:19:34] housed by Afghanistan, funded by Pakistan. so that the [00:19:38] aspect the diplomatic initiative which has to be taken [00:19:42] by the world agency like unu or human rights organization [00:19:46] or other organization [00:19:48] that is that is missing totally and other than China other [00:19:52] country even Americans have got lot of influence in Afghanistan Americans are [00:19:56] constantly paying them the money on the cost on the [00:19:59] pretext the human rights payments but they are not [00:20:03] they have not excised their power they have not excised their wills those [00:20:07] Doha agreement says very categorically, it's loss says in [00:20:11] American, [00:20:12] the one they committed with the American, the Americans committed with the [00:20:15] Afghan delegation, [00:20:19] that is the the sil the soil is kept being kept [00:20:22] using remains under the use of [00:20:26] terror terrorists and the American will take overboard operation, but since [00:20:30] Americans are involved with Iran so they are not concerned what is happening in Pakistan in [00:20:34] spite the fact that Pakistan has done a lot for American. [00:20:37] Pakistan has done a lot for America, India, American, [00:20:41] Iran settlement, but as far as Pakistan is concerned, it's a [00:20:45] very tragic reality that none the country, none [00:20:49] the... going takes [00:20:53] forcing to be any interest in taliban the this regime the taliban [00:20:57] which is composed of samagr which are composed of narcous to [00:21:01] compel them to ensure that they do not, they do not harbor, they stop [00:21:05] harbering those, they stop supplying those arms which [00:21:09] were left by the Americans at the cost of 10.8 billion, [00:21:12] those are arms are constantly being supplied to these [00:21:16] terrorist organization, the American, the American had to [00:21:20] come in if Pakistan is the America says Pakistan is [00:21:23] the doing lot for them and they keep on pressing [00:21:26] Pakistan, but just the mere words do not matter, actually [00:21:30] in such case where Pakistan is the hub, Pakistan is hub the [00:21:34] terrorist activities which are being sponsored by from Afghanistan, there is no doubt [00:21:38] into it, recently in the Moscow dialogue number [00:21:42] of all the countries said that Afghanistan has all [00:21:46] the terrorist organization, Russian intelligence report says that there are elements of [00:21:50] all the terrorist organization present inside Afghanistan so [00:21:54] wherever the basic thing the world action which has to [00:21:58] be undertaken that is totally missing, it's only Pakistan which is finding [00:22:02] lonely, it's Pakistan which is undertaking the kinetic [00:22:05] operation, Pakistan based operations, but [00:22:09] Afghanistan, the Afghan leadership is not listening [00:22:13] to either to Pakistan, north to China not they want to [00:22:16] get basically there is another element, there is a gulp. [00:22:19] which is funding these afghan taliban [00:22:23] and they do not want awadather to come up, [00:22:26] there are it's only not only the afghanistan, there are [00:22:30] other interest the world involved into it which [00:22:34] which are which are damaging Pakistan, so that gulf [00:22:37] countries constantly supplying money and they [00:22:41] even compared when they were talk talks going on [00:22:45] in turkey and there were talks going on between Pakistan and one [00:22:49] delegation.
