[00:05:19] due role
[00:05:20] in eliminating terrorism, said Pakistan hosted 4 million afghans

[00:05:44] That's that Pakistan wants an end to extremism and militancy in
[00:05:47] Afghanistan and also said the people of are
[00:05:50] patriots.
[00:06:01] We've now been joined by brigadeer retired Haris Navas defense analyst from Karati
[00:06:05] to share his views as federal minister for information and
[00:06:08] broadcasting that Pakistan's facing major challenge.
[00:06:12] terrorism and
[00:06:21] of diplomacy to stop the crossborder terrorism from
[00:06:25] Afghanistan and the Afghan soil. Right now, at this juncture,
[00:06:28] what options does the Pakistani government
[00:06:31] have? You see the prime deputy prime minister of Pakistan
[00:06:35] has said, I think in the seminar also in Islamabad very
[00:06:37] clearly that Pakistan had been repeatedly
[00:06:41] telling. afghan taliban regime and we demanded
[00:06:45] only one thing that please ensure there is no
[00:06:48] crossprism from your side towards Pakistan and they
[00:06:52] not honored this commitment despite all things
[00:06:56] then mediators came they would agree but they would not sign the
[00:07:00] documents and then after that we all
[00:07:03] know that they are sponsoring terrorism
[00:07:07] ttp then BLA BLF they
[00:07:11] are all in Afghanistan. they are given protection,
[00:07:14] the six to seven ttp are
[00:07:18] there and it is the united nation report and over,
[00:07:22] i would say there 24 test organizations are there and they
[00:07:26] are around 20-2500 terrorist the alq given
[00:07:30] training that they have been told, but the problem
[00:07:33] is now pakistan is acting as the head, nf, we
[00:07:37] can't have now drones are coming from their sides
[00:07:41] and they are not... from eastern they coming from western side and
[00:07:45] we destroy we put all the drone down when the moment they try
[00:07:49] to cross our air space because we are always very alert on this
[00:07:53] thing then that the shields comes over and whenever there
[00:07:56] is terrorism terrorists come from that side and then we kill them and
[00:08:00] there are three four one national are over there that mean they
[00:08:04] have sponsorship
[00:08:07] of so these are the problem we are facing it and i
[00:08:11] personally think "this time we are doing over 200 intelligent
[00:08:15] operations all over the country and mostly they have been done
[00:08:18] KPK and I would say 20-25% done in
[00:08:22] listan and then they the now we are killing
[00:08:26] them, we have destroyed them, we are created a wide gap between
[00:08:30] command, we destroyed the command structure, we have destroyed their
[00:08:34] ammunition done, peel done, the drone launcher be destroyed so
[00:08:38] we causing lot of damage, I think now they are on the run and then when the..."
[00:08:42] running the for find some soft corner like laborers are working labor is
[00:08:46] working there some or two three single individual there they kill
[00:08:50] them and they try to get that's what they are doing but i think
[00:08:54] now things are control but kpk was the problem and now
[00:08:58] with the imposition of
[00:09:01] this governor rule and emergency i think
[00:09:05] we hope things are going to improve because now we expect federal
[00:09:08] government kpk government and work in
[00:09:12] coordination and that gives us much much better result,
[00:09:16] so this has to be done along with the illegal spectrum where the
[00:09:20] hundy money and then narcotics
[00:09:22] smuggling that money is also being stuggled to this
[00:09:26] terror,
[00:09:33] does the presence of terrorist groups in afghanistan, does that serve like as a
[00:09:36] warning to the international community to take urgent action
[00:09:40] against this menace? global terrorism because obviously we
[00:09:44] know the countries in central Asia are under direct
[00:09:47] threat, that is very important, I would say
[00:09:51] Pakistan has to be very very, we have to go a diplomatic
[00:09:54] offensive and we have to go for three four long strategy, one
[00:09:58] kinetic operation we already doing it and we are not, we are very
[00:10:02] particular about it, 200 to 250 intelligent based operation we are
[00:10:06] doing every day and success has been very good, but along
[00:10:10] with that we have to go to the security council, we have to tell them when you issue
[00:10:13] report that there are 24 types organization, alka is
[00:10:17] training them and they are a threat not only to this
[00:10:21] region region metal Asia, iran, pakistan,
[00:10:25] and it can spell over to the globally also, what
[00:10:29] measures your? it's not issue report,
[00:10:33] you have to be very specific, you have to nominate
[00:10:36] a proper monitoring team sent to
[00:10:39] Afghanistan where all money comes from American,
[00:10:43] European Union, NGO, all has to be going through these
[00:10:46] terms and they should know how the money is being spent, it is not
[00:10:50] going to terrorist organization, this money is spent on infrastructure
[00:10:54] development. women rights, girls education, then
[00:10:58] of course different different organization, government department are being
[00:11:02] secured, done properly, they are working according to the law, the
[00:11:06] way things
[00:11:06] are gone,
[00:11:07] and then people has to hold
[00:11:11] fair, free and transparent elections, these what they committed,
[00:11:15] and then let the people people select the government their own choice so that they have
[00:11:18] develop diplomatic relation with all over the world, and that is what they when they come to
[00:11:22] the comedy of nation, they will understand how to five and it should be acting
[00:11:26] balance and political inclusive government, they must have
[00:11:30] hazard part the government because only then they
[00:11:34] can properly have a command control in that area so these are the problem we
[00:11:38] are facing and and we are very clear otherwise we will
[00:11:42] go across Afghanistan whenever we find an opportunity
[00:11:46] and we see that there is a problem and there is a command structure or the
[00:11:50] drones are coming the launcher sides are there whatever it is are
[00:11:54] we talking about a joint intelligence sharing of all the regional
[00:11:58] players, because obviously we are talking about
[00:12:00] the entire region, not just Pakistan here,
[00:12:04] definitely what i personally feel we have to take
[00:12:08] a step forward and within our region, I would say central
[00:12:11] Asian countries, Russia, Pakistan, China, Iran,
[00:12:15] their security heads have to sit together whether in
[00:12:19] Pakistan or Iran or China or Russia wherever
[00:12:23] they want to hold it and we make comprehensive security
[00:12:26] plan, how we have to force afghan government to kick
[00:12:30] out
[00:12:30] this organization out the region, because if they are
[00:12:34] there, this region will remain volatile, we will never be to able to
[00:12:38] complete our cpac, our gwader port operation can't be
[00:12:41] operationalized and we can't have a connectivity from central
[00:12:45] Asia, if Afghanistan is peaceful, we can have a
[00:12:49] connectivity through to gather and then the whole can go to
[00:12:53] the middle east and to the Africa. but Afghanistan
[00:12:57] volatile then there is a disconnect, you can't have a connectivity and
[00:13:00] that is what is the hinding prosperity, economic prosperity in
[00:13:04] Pakistan and
[00:13:05] that is Pakistan talk to American because now our statury is very high, the
[00:13:09] world recognize we are very strong military force, but we have done with Americans
[00:13:12] and we are region stabilizer, we are net security provider, american
[00:13:16] like field marshall, then we have done wonder in our peace making effort with
[00:13:20] Iran and American, so this is a time you have to force Americans to make them
[00:13:24] understand. "please stop giving
[00:13:27] financial 30 million dollar per week to afghan
[00:13:31] t like this or have accountability
[00:13:35] or sent to your team over there through that it should be spent because the money
[00:13:39] is being spent on purchase of weapons and terrorist
[00:13:42] organization and this is what we are facing difficulty so it has
[00:13:46] to be wholesome effort kinetic operation talk to american go to
[00:13:50] security council and then have security security head meeting
[00:13:54] in central" so all when these get together, i think we will be able to
[00:13:58] find, precisely sir, point well made,
[00:14:02] thank you very much hard for joining us and talk this
[00:14:05] very important issue of cross border terrorism and terrorism emanating
[00:14:09] from the afhan soil, now moving forward, federal minister minister for
[00:14:13] information casting said that
[00:14:16] there was a breakdown of governance and terrorist for destroying people's
[00:14:20] livelihoods, talking exclusively to pakistan tv, the
[00:14:24] federal minister for information and broadcastings that federal government impos
[00:14:27] emergency in the province under valid constitutional
[00:14:38] a speech just said what happened in KP imposing the
[00:14:41] governor rule was not a political move, but there are
[00:14:45] other thoughts that you know there was
[00:14:49] two-third majority of a party called PTI, it was thrown
[00:14:53] out, how do you just? if the governor rule being
[00:14:57] imposed there, the 1973 constitution of Pakistan
[00:15:00] has valid clauses with regard to imposition of
[00:15:04] emergency and imposition of governor's rule.
[00:15:07] now once the framers the constitution
[00:15:11] intended the use these clauses in dire
[00:15:14] circumstances, so constitutional
[00:15:17] provision exists, whenever there is a breakdown of governance, whenever there is a
[00:15:21] collapse, that is the time when such...
[00:15:25] clauses are invoked, so I think with regard to
[00:15:29] terrorism, there was a surge in terrorism for the past
[00:15:32] many years, PTI
[00:15:35] government has been there in KPK past 13 and a half years
[00:15:39] and they failed to take any credible steps to eradicate terrorism, in
[00:15:43] fact they were hand in glove with the terrorists, terrorist infrastructures
[00:15:46] were being promoted in
[00:15:48] and in the south districts in many areas terrorists had been given
[00:15:52] complete ingress, terrorists were manning police stations, they
[00:15:56] were there in the administration after
[00:15:59] nightfall, and i think there was a
[00:16:02] sympathy with the Taliban, with the TTP, with the
[00:16:06] proscribed organizations. by the PTI government now the national
[00:16:09] finance commission yes since 2010 has given 1%
[00:16:13] of its share to the KPK government which now amounts to after so many
[00:16:17] years amounts to 800 million 800 billion rupees now where
[00:16:21] has this so the setup which is in place right now will
[00:16:25] they be looking into where the that money has gone they absolutely
[00:16:29] should and it's not my place to tell them if they should or they should not I think it's a very very
[00:16:33] competent setup very as I must
[00:16:37] a non-partisan setup, very professional people,
[00:16:41] with accuman, with skill, with integrity, with experience, with
[00:16:45] qualification, these people, their integrity and
[00:16:48] their competence is beyond any doubt, so I think there was a
[00:16:52] breakdown of governance, terrorists were roaming about the
[00:16:56] districts, killing people, destroying their
[00:16:59] livelihoods, so I think once these terrorists were gaining ingress
[00:17:03] with the help and support the PTI government and the Chief Minister.
[00:17:08] "that is when this emergency has been imposed
[00:17:11] and it has been imposed through valid constitutional
[00:17:15] clause and as result we have seen that there have been
[00:17:19] no protest in the province of
[00:17:21] khibar pakhtunkhah, the PTA used to claim that if there is such an
[00:17:25] eventuality where emergencies imposed, millions of people would come on the
[00:17:29] streets, so we have not seen one credible protest in the
[00:17:33] entire province, in fact people have welcomed this step because they have seen that the
[00:17:36] new advis" the council is based on professionals, is based on non-partisan
[00:17:40] people based on people who are from the soil oftunkwah and
[00:17:44] want the betterment the people of so honorable
[00:17:48] minister, the federal government have
[00:17:51] associated the BTI with the TTP and the other
[00:17:55] terrorist organizations, so do you have any evidence? number
[00:17:59] one, there is one argument that they have been
[00:18:03] doing the long marches in the districts where the army and
[00:18:06] police... not go and
[00:18:10] you know there are
[00:18:10] i think they were they they requested the terrorists for safe passage yes we
[00:18:14] have lot of credible evidence on our hands which shows this
[00:18:18] unholy alliance this collusion the PTI KPK government and the
[00:18:22] terrorists in fact all political parties have given sacrifices
[00:18:26] and you know we wish safety for PTI but they
[00:18:30] had asked the terrorists to give their marge safe passage to the districts where
[00:18:34] ordinary citizens cannot pass where other political parties. representatives
[00:18:38] cannot pass, so I think they were not only
[00:18:41] supportive the terrorists, they were in fact promoting these terrorists, you see,
[00:18:45] I went to Cohart, I visited the home of a martered
[00:18:48] policeman and his father said to me that we are ready to fight this fight, but the
[00:18:52] government of KPK is not supporting us, I went to the hospital, I
[00:18:56] met the injured and their resolved and determination to fight against
[00:19:00] terrorism, it's it's stronger than ever, the people of Khabar Pakhtum have
[00:19:04] given innumerable sacrifices, valuable.
[00:19:07] sacrifices against this war, but we had a government which
[00:19:11] was you know promoting terrorists and enabling them to
[00:19:15] carry out these attacks, they did not do any capacity building for the
[00:19:18] police, for the CTD, to install safe city cameras all across
[00:19:22] KPK, to make
[00:19:23] a forensic lab to give equipment to the police, in fact whenever federal government
[00:19:26] tried to give any equipment they returned it back, so I think it's it was very sorry state
[00:19:30] of affairs and I would say you had given
[00:19:34] negotiations a chance of course if...
[00:19:37] think "they hadn't opted for the long march, would the
[00:19:41] federal government still had gone for, so I think
[00:19:45] the imposing, we
[00:19:46] so we I gave negotiations, lot of room a lot of chance, we had
[00:19:50] long plays going on, but they were never serious, they used to agree to one thing and then
[00:19:54] they used to
[00:19:55] you know just turn back on their word. We had only one agenda, that was
[00:19:58] counter terrorism, eradication of terrorism and serious efforts on part the provincial
[00:20:02] government to counter terrorism, had they carried on with the long march,
[00:20:06] we don't care we..." had only one agenda that please fight against these
[00:20:10] terrorists and bring a counter terrorism policy, other than that
[00:20:17] minister muh says the federal government has handed over to
[00:20:20] newly acquired armed personnel carriers to khibar police to
[00:20:24] strengthen counter terrorism operations. a statement,
[00:20:28] the transfer was carried out on the directions of prime minister Shahar Shariff in
[00:20:32] viewed the prevailing security situation and rising terrorist incidents
[00:20:36] in the province. The interior ministers that the fight against terrorism is a collective
[00:20:40] responsibility, adding that the federal government stands firmly
[00:20:43] with police. He reaffirmed that the
[00:20:47] federal government will provide all possible support. to defeat
[00:20:50] terrorism and protect the people the province.
[00:20:54] moreover, governor khaibar, faisal Kariem kundi and
[00:20:58] interior minister movi have said that eradicating terrorism
[00:21:02] is the government's top priority, stressing at fight against
[00:21:05] terrorism cannot be one without the provincial government taking the
[00:21:08] lead. while co- chairing the meeting the apex committee, they
[00:21:12] stated that federal government and provincial government are on the same page in the fight against
[00:21:16] terrorism and all the requirements of law enforcement agencies.
[00:21:20] will be met, they said PTI government failed to eradicate
[00:21:24] terrorism in the
[00:21:25] province.
