[00:00:00] to promote it, it is clear that the leadership of both countries will
[00:00:04] consult on it, because Pakistan has made efforts
[00:00:08] for peace in this region, which has been supported by Saudi Arabia, and my colleague said
[00:00:12] that Pakistan has played a very important role
[00:00:14] in ending the diplomatic coldness or differences between Iran
[00:00:18] and Saudi Arabia
[00:00:21] now since Pakistan feels this thing, with the leadership of both countries, because both Saudi Arabia
[00:00:24] and Iran trust Pakistan. So in this context, I believe that the visit of our Prime Minister and Field Marshal
[00:00:28] is not only in the field of security
[00:00:32] and defense, but also in the multifaceted
[00:00:35] relations between the two countries. We can see that the economic and financial cooperation,
[00:00:39] investment in the energy sectors,
[00:00:43] along with important regional and international issues,
[00:00:47] the leadership of both countries has a common stance. We have not seen any ups
[00:00:50] and downs in the past, that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan
[00:00:54] have always stood shoulder to shoulder, and Saudi Arabia also wants that the deteriorating
[00:00:58] situation in the Middle East
[00:01:02] with the province nor are
[00:01:30] should not escalate, and Pakistan has been very successful in this, so that Muslim countries
[00:01:33] avoid directly entering this war. Pakistan
[00:01:37] played a very important role in this, and Saudi Arabia also responded very well to it, and Saudi Arabia
[00:01:40] is obviously a country with real influence, so all these things
[00:01:44] are actually working for peace in the region. Thank you very much,
[00:01:48] Javed Sahib, you rightly said, look, whether it's Pakistan
[00:01:51] or Saudi Arabia, both countries have jointly prevented
[00:01:54] this whole situation from further escalation.
[00:01:58] Otherwise, the way Israel started the war between Iran
[00:02:02] and America, its plan was something else, that we should make Muslim
[00:02:05] countries fight among themselves. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan played
[00:02:09] a very important role in preventing
[00:02:12] this from further escalation, and Saudi Arabia supported it. Pakistan
[00:02:16] repeatedly told Saudi Arabia that if there is any attack from Iran,
[00:02:20] and other countries have also seen attacks on them, so all of them
[00:02:23] have played a role in this, including Egypt, Turkey,
[00:02:27] Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Look, the relations between Saudi Arabia
[00:02:31] and Iran, if you look a year ago, things were different, then
[00:02:35] Pakistan and China jointly brought them closer.
[00:02:38] As soon as Saudi Arabia and Iran's mutual relations started to improve,
[00:02:42] Israel, along with America, attacked Iran.
[00:02:46] So it plays a big game by planning,
[00:02:50] but this time it is facing a very bad defeat. As you
[00:02:53] also said in your intro, and Dr. Sahib also said, look,
[00:02:57] the situation of America at this time is that America
[00:03:00] has to continue its relations or negotiations with Iran
[00:03:04] in any case and reach a deal. There are many
[00:03:07] reasons for this. You have seen international media quoting that their
[00:03:11] arms stockpiles are decreasing,
[00:03:15] and their overall strength is not that much, but Iran has once
[00:03:18] again come to this position that it has got one of its conditions accepted.
[00:03:22] Which one is it? Look, talk about 15-20 days ago, Iran
[00:03:26] was not agreeing to this, America was not agreeing to this, sorry, that Iran
[00:03:30] should collect any fees. But in these 15-20 days, Iran
[00:03:33] showed a little patience and tolerance, endured this thing, it said, okay,
[00:03:37] we have already suffered a lot of damage, a little more is fine, but
[00:03:41] this endurance of his, he gains something every time, this time he has gained
[00:03:45] this, that he is succeeding to some extent in getting this accepted
[00:03:49] that he collects fees from his sanctity, although in the second phase of the talks
[00:03:52] with Oman, all these things happened, but to move
[00:03:56] things forward, if we just talk about Pakistan's recent visit.
[00:04:06] are with them nor are the people
[00:04:17] they protest against themselves.
[00:04:51] machinery. They use their
[00:04:53] own.
[00:05:00] but Pakistan's leadership remained completely focused
[00:05:03] due to which this region repeatedly
[00:05:07] falls into danger, but with Pakistan's efforts,
[00:05:11] But I have to say with great hope is restored. Absolutely, Javed Sahib, just like Pakistan, Pakistan
[00:05:15] itself has faced war, faced terrorism,
[00:05:19] we have fought on the economic front, fought on the diplomatic front,
[00:05:23] which is such a front where Pakistan has not fought
[00:05:26] and not achieved success, these are many things we have inherited,
[00:05:29] it is in front of you, so
[00:05:33] the other thing is that this war was basically a war between Muslims,
[00:05:37] Israel was a small country, but all the Muslim countries
[00:05:41] were not fighting,
[00:06:12] what they want, what India's and especially Israel's
[00:06:16] and America's agenda was, that they should fight among themselves so that their
[00:06:19] economic status at this time also ends,
[00:06:23] strategically also ends,
[00:06:26] and they will take many years
[00:06:29] to reach that place. But if you look at Pakistan, here
[00:06:33] our military leadership played a role, then
[00:06:37] our political leadership also played a very important role. You have seen that
[00:06:41] Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, along with Ishaq
[00:06:45] Dar, Foreign Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister Mohsin
[00:06:48] Naqvi, who was the Interior Minister, similarly, they all went
[00:06:52] to all these fronts, met all the people and conveyed
[00:06:56] their stance and especially the biggest success was that
[00:07:00] the trust of both, one does not want to see the face of the other,
[00:07:03] does not want to meet the other, does not want to do any trade
[00:07:07] with the other, to convey the message of one to the other,
[00:07:11] and that message is exactly
[00:07:15] conveyed in the same words as the actual one. You have seen
[00:07:19] that secrecy was not revealed anywhere, it was kept completely secret,
[00:07:23] this was also its success, and if Pakistan had not done this,
[00:07:26] then today the third war
[00:07:28] would have happened. But Pakistan protected it greatly,
[00:07:32] Pakistan protected the agreement greatly and brought it to such a stage
[00:07:36] when both America and Iran appreciated it. So
[00:07:39] now this was about the visit of the Middle East
[00:07:42] and the Prime Minister. Now let's move to another important topic, and that is
[00:07:46] about Pakistan, the political atmosphere of Pakistan. Yesterday,
[00:07:50] Tehreek-e-Insaf held a rally in Peshawar,
[00:07:53] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and once again announced that they
[00:07:56] will hold a long march towards Islamabad on September 27.
[00:08:00] Chief Minister Sohail Afridi made this announcement, but the question
[00:08:04] arises here that the law and order situation in Khyber
[00:08:07] Pakhtunkhwa is deteriorating, it is facing terrorism,
[00:08:10] questions arise about governance,
[00:08:14] governance is not visible there, public issues
[00:08:18] are not shown to be a priority of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government,
[00:08:21] but in such a situation, once again,
[00:08:24] making such an announcement that there is a suspicion
[00:08:28] that chaos will be created. Earlier also, Tehreek-e-Insaf has held
[00:08:32] long marches many times and made demands regarding the release of its founder,
[00:08:36] but will things move forward like this? We are joined
[00:08:40] by PML-N Khyber Pakhtunkhwa leader Arbab Khizer Hayat.
[00:09:13] whether they are in government or out of government, their politics is just the politics
[00:09:16] of protest. You will see that here in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:09:20] for the last 13 years, they have been imposed on us here,
[00:09:24] and protests happen every day here. I am surprised how
[00:09:29] Look, if they are so fond of protesting, then
[00:09:33] they should go across Attock, they don't have that much courage
[00:09:37] and they can't go. Just like yesterday's rally, in which they
[00:09:41] claimed that 1 million people would participate. But in the rally
[00:09:45] ground, there were only three thousand chairs, and those were also empty. So
[00:09:48] if you add them all up, there were only three or four thousand people, not more
[00:09:52] than that. There were two thousand police personnel. The rest of the government machinery
[00:09:55] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was used.
[00:09:59] So look, if people use so much government
[00:10:05] So shouldn't they have brought peace to the province?
[00:10:09] They should try for peace. At this time,
[00:10:12] Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Karak, Bajaur,
[00:10:16] Waziristan, these areas have gone from us. Here
[00:10:20] the writ of the government has ended.
[00:10:24] regret. That these people are worried about the founder of PTI.
[00:10:27] So did the founder of PTI get released after their rally yesterday?
[00:10:31] Now these people have said that on September
[00:10:35] 27, they have put their workers behind
[00:10:39] the truck's light, that we will go towards Islamabad
[00:10:42] on September 27. Arbab Sahib, I wanted to ask
[00:10:46] if your party is in power at the center, will you come under pressure
[00:10:50] and release them? Look,
[00:10:53] Javed Bhai, we are neither coming under pressure
[00:10:55] nor are we making any deal with them nor are they being given any leniency.
[00:10:59] I was just saying that September 27
[00:11:03] will come, these people will not be able to go across Attock.
[00:11:07] I am saying this on record in your program today. The whole nation
[00:11:10] is watching us, listening to us. When September 27
[00:11:14] comes closer, these people will make some excuse
[00:11:18] and extend that date again. So look, these people
[00:11:21] are neither sincere with their founder PTI nor are they sincere
[00:11:27] these people sincere with this nation. Otherwise, yesterday they called
[00:11:30] for protests all over the country. So did any protest happen in Punjab?
[00:11:34] Did a dozen people gather? Did it happen in Sindh?
[00:11:38] Did it happen in Balochistan? Did it happen in Gilgit-Baltistan?
[00:11:41] Did it happen in Kashmir? No protest happened anywhere.
[00:11:45] Not even a dozen people came out. Since they have a government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:11:49] they see rallies and processions here.
[00:11:52] But on the other hand, if we look,
[00:11:56] the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are crying. Here, since you also belong
[00:12:00] to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, you also know the conditions here,
[00:12:03] that here, look, the security is so poor,
[00:12:07] the security situation has deteriorated to such an extent that when we leave
[00:12:11] home in the morning, we don't know if we will return home in the evening
[00:12:14] or not. Peshawar, since it is the heart of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:12:18] if you go one kilometer towards Kohat Road,
[00:12:22] you cannot go there because the government is not there and here
[00:12:26] they are worried about rallies and processions. Here, look,
[00:12:29] I have collected these statistics that these people, on one hand,
[00:12:33] say that we are not being given NFC award,
[00:12:37] I also say that we are not being given our full right.
[00:12:41] But look, they have received 54 billion rupees so far,
[00:12:44] which anyone can go and get
[00:12:48] this record from their provincial finance minister's office.
[00:12:51] 54 billion rupees, in that
[00:12:55] there are also NFC award money, there are also grants for the former
[00:12:59] FATA, there is also war on terror money, there are also funds for PSDP,
[00:13:03] the federal development program.
[00:13:06] So look, they receive money in various forms in the province,
[00:13:10] but where did these 54 billion rupees go? We still
[00:13:14] don't know about it. That is, for the merged areas alone,
[00:13:17] 300 billion 301 billion and 80
[00:13:21] crore rupees have been received. 22 billion have been received
[00:13:24] for solarization. 4 billion have been received
[00:13:28] for a university to be built in FATA. So where is this money going?
[00:13:31] The federal government has given about 22 billion rupees
[00:13:35] for the police, but here if you look at the police mobiles,
[00:13:39] there is no petrol in the police mobiles nor do they have tires. These are
[00:13:43] the conditions of the province. Here, look at the conditions of the hospitals.
[00:13:46] They say that they have brought great reforms,
[00:13:50] they have done this in health, they have done this in education.
[00:13:54] So look at the conditions of the hospitals that five or six children
[00:13:58] are lying on one bed. Similarly, look at the conditions of the schools,
[00:14:01] there are still mats in the schools. If you go towards Charsadda,
[00:14:05] Mardan, many schools in Peshawar still have children sitting on mats.
[00:14:09] So look, they are deceiving the public
[00:14:13] and their politics is already buried, and after yesterday's rally,
[00:14:16] they have also realized their worth. That is why
[00:14:20] they have given the date of September 27
[00:14:24] because yesterday they saw their worth, what is their worth.
[00:14:27] Neither their workers
[00:14:31] of the province with them. If this rally
[00:14:34] had been successful, I think they would have announced
[00:14:38] in two or three days
[00:14:40] that we will protest on the 14th. But
[00:14:49] Now the question arises here that Tehreek-e-Insaf has held long marches before,
[00:14:53] so have they gotten their founder released? The matters
[00:14:56] in courts and the matters
[00:14:59] that should be taken up at the legal level will not be achieved
[00:15:03] by holding such long marches. Javed Sahib knows
[00:15:07] that our legal matters are not transparent
[00:15:11] and he also knows that if he gets justice from there,
[00:15:15] he will have to stay in jail. The founder of PTI,
[00:15:18] all the corruption cases he has done, if you look at his legal matters,
[00:15:22] he is taking date after date, and this
[00:18:05] is the lack of financial resources that
[00:18:31] when they see that there is political polarization and such issues, the government is not focused,
[00:18:35] it becomes
[00:18:37] more organized and this harms the province. So I think this call for a long
[00:18:41] march is absolutely a political
[00:18:44] tool, and I think no one can take the law into
[00:18:48] their own hands. It is clear that the federal government has to establish its writ
[00:18:52] and ensure its enforcement. Well, during this,
[00:18:56] Aleema Khan's statement has come, and Aleema Khan says
[00:19:00] that it means September 27, as Arbab Sahib was saying,
[00:19:03] that the date of September 27 has been given, it means that the founder
[00:19:07] will wait in jail for two more months, and along with this,
[00:19:11] she also says that we don't understand why they gave such a long
[00:19:15] date, because as Arbab Sahib was saying,
[00:19:18] they had seen that if the rally showed something,
[00:19:22] then they would have announced immediately, otherwise they took two months.
[00:19:26] Exactly, Javed Sahib, the sister of the founder herself said
[00:19:29] that look, two months, the first thing to note is that such a long
[00:19:33] date, when August is still fully there, you have given the date of September 27,
[00:19:48] there are many health issues, education issues, administrative issues, they cannot establish
[00:19:52] their writ there politically, there are so many terrorism issues, but
[00:19:56] they don't have to do anything, they only have to do dharnas,
[00:19:59] shouting, rioting, they try to give a tough time,
[00:20:03] nothing happens to them. Now these two months, they have to spend
[00:20:37] a monopoly in one party, and their strength will be lost.
[00:20:41] The main reason for their internal differences
[00:20:45] is the issue of power-sharing, how to distribute the corruption money
[00:20:48] among themselves. These are the issues,
[00:20:52] their focus is not on the problems of the public, no.
[00:20:55] Babar, the federation has repeatedly told Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:20:59] to come and negotiate, sit at the table, resolve
[00:21:03] issues in a democratic political way, negotiate where
[00:21:07] you need to negotiate, but every time an opportunity was given,
[00:21:11] the Prime Minister repeatedly said it.
[00:21:14] This party did not translate the opportunity,
[00:21:18] and perhaps this
[00:21:50] that the founder of PTI has to get relief. Number one, he has to get it from the court,
[00:21:53] and the second big relief that
[00:21:56] the leadership has received before is from the parliament. Whatever decision
[00:22:00] the parliament makes, the parliament is that sovereign institution
[00:22:04] that can even pardon sentences given by courts. It can interpret
[00:22:07] many things. No, I am talking about this
[00:22:11] that the parliament cannot do it, but the issue
[00:22:13] is that if there are people in the parliament, they should come
[00:22:17] and talk. But since PTI
[00:22:26] wants to do all things through bullying,
[00:22:30] that is not the case. This is not that state
[00:22:34] where you will come with groups, bring many people,
[00:22:38] they will remain silent, and you will do whatever you want. That is not the case.
[00:22:41] This is not the dharna of 2014, this is now 2026, and
[00:22:45] Pakistan at this time, in 2025, has done what it needs to do
[00:22:49] to establish its power.
[00:23:20] that what all we can do. They don't have a single project to show that is
[00:23:24] comparable to the others, Sindh, Balochistan. Punjab
[00:23:27] has 100 projects that they have done. There, people do not have access
[00:23:31] to clean drinking water. There is no transportation system.
[00:23:34] There, the basic health facilities are not available.
[00:23:38] More than half of the people from KP come to Islamabad's PIMS
[00:23:42] Hospital, Poly Clinic, and other hospitals to get their
[00:23:45] treatment. So they did not provide those basic things. But why did they not provide them? Because
[00:24:20] it is not being achieved, then there we are seeing
[00:24:23] the incidents of terrorism, funerals are being held there,
[00:24:27] and in those funerals, we do not see the provincial leadership,
[00:24:30] and this gentleman you mentioned, should the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government be asked about
[00:24:45] Viewers, we are informing you of important news. Chief of Defense Forces Field
[00:24:49] Marshal Syed Asim Munir met with the Defense Minister
