[00:00:00] situation America, Israel and [00:00:03] Iran, after Russia and Ukraine's [00:00:06] conflict, new [00:00:10] strategic alliances will be formed [00:00:13] and if the countries of the region become united [00:00:17] and then Muslim [00:00:20] countries pool their resources, then I think [00:00:23] it will be a very good omen for the region [00:00:27] and in the region, such [00:00:39] and three countries which have a very prominent status among Islamic countries, [00:00:42] thank you Prince Zulfikar Sahib. Today, the Muslim [00:00:46] Ummah has [00:00:49] found a wave of happiness after [00:00:53] the alliance of these three countries. [00:00:56] Look, after the incident of May 9, [00:00:59] the only air force of the Muslim [00:01:03] Ummah in the world at this time, [00:01:06] the defense is naval and [00:01:10] land, which all Muslim countries have, but the only [00:01:13] air force of the Muslim Ummah, the only defensive [00:01:17] air force that won the war in the skies, [00:01:21] this is a very big credit [00:01:24] that has been achieved within the Muslim Ummah, [00:01:28] it goes to Pakistan's Air Defense Force. [00:01:31] So, with that, the defensive [00:01:34] agreement of Saudi Arabia and Turkey's [00:01:38] alliance of all three in every [00:01:41] said in a statement issued from Rawalpindi respect strengthens the Muslim Ummah at this time [00:01:44] in terms of naval and land [00:01:47] defense. And in terms of air defense, [00:01:51] the protection of the Muslim Ummah [00:01:55] to enhance cooperation in the skies, the kind of power [00:01:58] or strength that Allah has [00:02:02] bestowed, it has come to Pakistan's [00:02:05] share. So, this agreement [00:02:09] for the welfare and betterment of the Muslim Ummah [00:02:12] and for their defensive system has proven to be a very big [00:02:16] and good step forward. Sir Sikandar Ali [00:02:20] Advocate, how do you see this alliance of Muslims, which is [00:02:24] the first step, but many hopes are attached to it? [00:02:27] Sir Shehzada Sahib, this is a natural [00:02:30] agreement, and [00:02:33] Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan [00:02:37] So we hope in the future are countries of importance in the Muslim world. They are not ordinary [00:02:41] countries. And with a large population, [00:02:44] technology, and a respected country, [00:02:47] Saudi Arabia, for our Muslims, the agreement [00:02:52] to strengthening security and stability of these three is certainly a very big [00:02:54] good news for the Muslim Ummah. And for this good news, [00:02:58] our [00:03:00] people were longing to hear this news for a long time. So this is new news [00:03:04] and its happiness will definitely be seen [00:03:07] further. The second thing in this is that [00:03:10] this agreement, the Makkah [00:03:14] Defense Agreement, [00:03:16] its importance, especially for our enemies [00:03:20] who do not want these Muslim world countries to develop, [00:03:24] it has come down on them like a lightning [00:03:27] bolt and it will. The case of Turkey [00:03:31] is that when it was called the Ottoman Caliphate, [00:03:34] even then we helped them a lot and they were very grateful [00:03:38] to us. So, historically, we are natural [00:03:42] friends and Muslims, [00:03:45] so all Muslims of the world are very happy about this. [00:03:48] The benefit of this will be that [00:03:51] Pakistan will not be alone, Saudi Arabia will not be alone, [00:03:55] and Turkey will not be alone. No enemy will look at it with evil [00:03:58] intentions. And certainly, they deserve congratulations. [00:04:02] And our policy-making people [00:04:06] in Pakistan and in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, who [00:04:10] sat together and despite many threats and many problems, [00:04:14] this agreement and this good news has been announced to the whole [00:04:17] Ummah. This agreement should move forward. This is currently [00:04:21] a defense agreement. It should move forward and [00:04:24] transform into a strategic and economical treaty. [00:04:27] And the second news is that Iran has expressed [00:04:30] its desire to join it. This desire [00:04:34] will also be shared by many other countries. So, God willing, [00:04:38] we hope and the situation is such that [00:04:42] other countries will also join it. And this is not [00:04:45] about attacking anyone in terms of defense. [00:04:49] Saudi Arabia's economy is stable, [00:04:52] thank God. Pakistan [00:04:55] is very advanced [00:04:58] in terms of military [00:05:00] and technology. And Turkey, [00:05:04] with technology and financial resources, all these things together have created a very [00:05:07] strong chemistry. So, we hope that, God willing, all three countries [00:05:11] will benefit from it. The Muslim Ummah [00:05:42] besides Pakistan, will also keep an eye on Turkey and Saudi Arabia. [00:05:46] Certainly, there has been a reaction [00:05:49] to this agreement from [00:05:53] India that they are watching it [00:05:56] with great interest. [00:05:59] It seems they are uncomfortable. They are uncomfortable. [00:06:02] Why are they uncomfortable? In the world, when [00:06:06] strategic alliances are formed, one [00:06:10] thing is important: some are natural, some are unnatural [00:06:13] alliances. This alliance that is being formed [00:06:16] at this time is a completely natural [00:06:20] alliance. The countries of the region are involved in it, and fortunately, [00:06:24] Muslim countries are involved in it. The alliance [00:06:27] of Israel and India is unnatural. [00:06:30] Israel will never [00:06:33] come to its aid in the same way [00:06:37] as Pakistan is coming for Saudi Arabia or Turkey is coming for Pakistan. [00:06:40] And the region's [00:07:12] right to defend Pakistan, that the land of yours is being used [00:07:16] for terrorism, the right to defend is [00:07:19] one thing, and a very good opportunity has come for Pakistan [00:07:23] that if this matter, obviously, [00:07:27] as a pressure, Saudi Arabia [00:07:30] will also exert pressure, Turkey on Afghanistan, [00:07:34] Prince Zulfiqar Sahib. Look, what is the meaning of Pakistan? La ilaha illallah. [00:07:38] Pakistan is one of the two states in the world [00:07:42] that was founded on the basis of the Kalima. [00:07:46] One is the State of Madinah, the other is the State [00:07:50] of Pakistan. So, Allah [00:07:53] Almighty, for the work for which [00:07:57] He chose this Ummah, that is, it is [00:08:00] the best work in the world. [00:08:04] In terms of following the path of Allah and His Messenger, [00:08:07] as Sarwar Javed Sahib said, our forces [00:08:11] are already [00:08:20] ahead in terms of Saudi Pakistan forces. [00:08:23] They are mainly deployed for its protection. [00:08:26] Afghanistan, as a neighboring country, [00:08:30] as a Muslim country, [00:08:33] should consider this carefully, [00:08:36] look at it carefully that [00:08:39] in Pakistan at this time, [00:08:47] despite providing them with evidence that their land is being used against us, they are not being stopped. [00:08:50] Now, after this agreement, they should come to their senses. [00:08:54] Sikandar Sahib, I will give you a very short answer, [00:08:57] because we are running out of time. As Ambassador [00:09:01] Sahib said, I asked him about [00:09:05] Israel, India, [00:09:09] Afghanistan. Israel is also uncomfortable with this agreement. [00:09:16] It will only be an observation; nothing else can be done. And second, Israel will be [00:09:20] the most troubled at this time, [00:09:24] because it has invested [00:09:26] in destabilizing [00:09:29] Pakistan, in Balochistan, and in other places [00:09:33] to achieve its future results. But [00:09:37] after this agreement, Israel will be more troubled [00:09:40] than India. Because we have crossed [00:09:44] over and reached Turkey by crossing this land, [00:09:47] and for the Palestinians, [00:09:51] it is very big good news. Before, we were [00:09:55] from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia. [00:09:58] Now, we have crossed Israel, which occupied its illegitimate land, [00:10:02] and reached Turkey. And the countries in between, [00:10:06] God willing, they will come into this treaty. And this is [00:10:28] more countries will come, and you will see that in the future, [00:10:32] Pakistan will prosper. If stones come, they should think about [00:10:35] their answer beforehand. Pakistan has already demonstrated [00:10:46] tragic day for lawyers and for all the people of Balochistan. [00:10:50] It is a tragedy that they have lost [00:10:54] 56 lawyers, and about 14 [00:10:57] doctors, paramedics, and common citizens or [00:11:01] relatives of lawyers have been lost. [00:11:05] And it is a terrorist incident where they even reached the [00:11:09] suicide bomber, everything. [00:11:13] But until now, lawyers have suffered. [00:11:17] Shahzada Zulfiqar, if we look, [00:11:20] this is a very big tragedy in the history of Balochistan [00:11:23] and even in the history of Pakistan. [00:12:04] in this tragedy, our martyred lawyers, [00:12:08] first of all, I pay tribute to them for [00:12:12] their sacrifice for this country, [00:12:15] for the constitution of this country, and for the people of this country, [00:12:19] which holds great importance in world history and this [00:12:23] unforgettable [00:12:26] sacrifice that was made, I think [00:12:30] that in the world, there are two such [00:12:33] sections that have been attacked, Iranian parliamentarians [00:12:36] and [00:12:39] a lawyer who was martyred in such large numbers, [00:12:42] this is very, what should I say, a painful [00:12:46] moment for us and a very dear day that [00:12:50] we can never forget. So, [00:12:54] please tell me that [00:12:57] the martyrs and we hear that your [00:13:01] organization, the government, takes great care of [00:13:05] their families, their children. [00:13:09] You are also doing welfare work. You have not forgotten [00:13:12] it. [00:13:14] Absolutely, I am extremely grateful [00:13:18] to the government that for the education of the children [00:13:22] of the martyrs, the [00:14:02] of Quetta Bar Association, just like our [00:14:05] friend Mir Attaullah Langove Sahib is the President of the High Court Bar Association, [00:14:09] similarly, our organization Balochistan Bar [00:14:12] Council and the Vice President of the Supreme Court Bar Association [00:14:15] from their side, all four [00:14:19] organizations today organized a condolence program inside the Balochistan [00:14:22] High Court, in which Quran recitation was done [00:14:26] for the martyred lawyers and charity was arranged, [00:14:29] in which today our esteemed Chief Justice of Balochistan High Court [00:14:33] Justice Kamran Khanna Khel participated along with [00:14:37] his companion judges. So today [00:14:40] a whole decade has passed, but the incident [00:14:44] of August 8, 2016 [00:14:47] is still fresh in the hearts of the people of Quetta [00:14:51] and Balochistan, because in that incident, [00:14:55] almost every family [00:14:59] had someone who passed away, [00:15:02] and the strength of [00:15:06] 56 martyred lawyers was great, and you can imagine [00:15:10] how many years of hard work a lawyer puts in to reach the Supreme Court. [00:15:13] After that, the terrorists, [00:15:16] Mr. Shehzada, [00:15:20] after this attack, tried to push [00:15:23] us back. They attacked Pakistan, [00:15:26] they attacked Balochistan, but today [00:15:30] I say with pride that today [00:15:33] the people of Balochistan defeated [00:15:36] those terrorists, saying that you [00:15:39] took away our 56 lawyers, [00:15:43] but today I see the strength in the bar, [00:15:47] thousands of young people, [00:15:50] more than two thousand is the strength [00:15:53] of our Quetta Bar Association. In this regard, since [00:15:56] Mr. Shehzada, I will take one minute more from you, that the incident [00:16:00] that happened on August 8, 2016, our then President of the Quetta [00:16:04] Bar Association [00:16:28] in which lawyers' representatives from all over Balochistan [00:16:30] and even all over Pakistan participate [00:16:34] and they are presented with reverence. [00:16:41] So, anyway, the people of Balochistan have defeated those terrorists and will continue to do so, [00:16:45] and for this country, [00:16:48] its law, its constitution, and for its supremacy, [00:16:52] they will not [00:17:03] but it was the murder of consciousness, the murder of [00:17:07] bravery. And it was the murder of Balochistan [00:17:10] society. In Balochistan, there is already a great lack of education. [00:17:14] In this, the preparation of a lawyer and the martyrdom of so many of them [00:17:17] is a very emotional moment for us whenever this topic comes up. [00:17:21] My classmates died in it, my teachers died in it, [00:17:24] whom we studied with. So this was not just the murder [00:17:28] of one person, but the cream of our society, [00:17:31] 56 of our people died in it. So a very big void was created, [00:17:35] and for a long time we felt [00:17:37] that pain, and whenever this incident comes up [00:17:41] again, we become very emotional about it. My colleague [00:17:45] spoke in great detail about this. I will just say [00:17:48] that for God's sake, whatever [00:17:52] you do, whatever you do, [00:17:55] but do not play with the lives of the leaders of the nation [00:17:59] and human beings. How many families were destroyed, how many children became orphans. [00:18:02] And I will mention the name of our conscious Baz Muhammad Kakar Sahib, [00:18:06] a very brave, courageous person. [00:18:10] He fell victim to this incident. So we felt it very much. [00:18:15] that from the forces [00:18:18] and from our government that the security for lawyers [00:18:21] will be improved further. [00:18:39] a very big good news for the nation [00:18:42] again. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey [00:18:45] are in an agreement, and there are very high [00:18:48] chances of its expansion. Today, regarding terrorism, [00:18:52] the Hangu incident, in which a captain [00:18:56] bravely fought and sacrificed his life, [00:18:59] and sent seven [00:20:21] greets you from BTV News Arabic, and here is [00:20:24] a summary of the most important news. Pakistani Prime Minister [00:20:28] Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has returned to his country after concluding [00:20:32] his visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. [00:20:35] The Prime Minister had left Madinah [00:20:39] for Pakistan, where he was seen off by the Pakistani [00:20:42] delegation at the airport by Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, [00:20:46] Prince of Madinah, Al Saud. Shehbaz Sharif's departure [00:20:50] comes at the conclusion of his visit to the Kingdom, [00:20:53] which included Madinah before his return to [00:20:57] Pakistan. [00:21:03] In a step described as historic, Pakistan, [00:21:06] Saudi Arabia and Turkey signed the [00:21:10] Makkah Joint Defense Agreement in the framework of enhancing [00:21:13] cooperation and defense coordination between the three countries. [00:21:17] Under this agreement, any attack targeting [00:21:20] one of the three countries is considered an aggression against the three countries combined, [00:21:24] reflecting a common commitment to the security and safety [00:21:27] of the signatory parties. The agreement was signed by [00:21:31] Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Saudi Crown Prince [00:21:34] Mohammed bin Salman, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip [00:21:38] Erdogan. [00:21:44] Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad [00:21:46] Shehbaz Sharif affirmed that the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement, [00:21:50] which he signed with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin [00:21:53] Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, embodies [00:21:57] a common commitment to friendship, peace, and security among the three [00:22:00] Islamic countries. Shehbaz Sharif expressed [00:22:03] his hope that the historic agreement will become [00:22:06] a model to be followed in consolidating peace and stability [00:22:10] to serve future generations. In a related [00:22:13] context, the Prime Minister extended a tribute of appreciation [00:22:16] and reverence to Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, [00:22:20] commending his tireless efforts and dedication in performing his duties [00:22:23] and appreciating his great services. [00:22:28] The Organization of Islamic Cooperation welcomed [00:22:32] the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement signed between Pakistan, Saudi [00:22:35] Arabia, and Turkey. The Secretary-General of the Organization [00:22:39] of Islamic Cooperation, Hussein Ibrahim Taha, stated that the agreement [00:22:42] reflects the commitment of the three countries [00:22:45] at regional and international levels. [00:22:48] He added that the agreement is expected to strengthen [00:22:52] solidarity and constructive partnership among the member states of the Organization of Islamic [00:22:56] Cooperation, as well as embodying a common commitment to confronting [00:22:59] increasing security challenges. The Secretary-General affirmed [00:23:03] that the agreement represents a step towards enhancing [00:23:06] cooperation and coordination among Islamic countries in confronting [00:23:09] security challenges. [00:23:15] The Kingdom of Bahrain welcomed the Makkah [00:23:18] Joint Defense Agreement between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, [00:23:21] and Turkey, as the Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs [00:23:25] praised the defense capabilities and military expertise [00:23:29] of the three countries, considering that the agreement [00:23:32] represents an important addition to the broader regional defense [00:23:35] system. The Ministry affirmed that the Makkah Agreement [00:23:39] reflects a common commitment [00:23:42] in the region, in addition to adherence to [00:23:45] international commitments and charters. [00:23:47] These positions come amidst increasing [00:26:42] August 8, 1947, Friday. Presented here are [00:26:46] some events that took place in the new era of independence. [00:26:50] The news is that the name of Jogindranath Mandal, Minister of Law and [00:26:53] Education, has been proposed for the chairman [00:26:56] of the first session of Pakistan's Constituent Assembly. [00:27:00] He will preside over the session to be held in Karachi on August 10. [00:27:03] Pakistan is not only a country for Muslims, [00:27:07] but non-Muslims are also calling it their homeland. [00:27:10] According to reports from Rawalpindi, [00:27:14] Hindu leader Prem Chand Bhushan of the महासभा [00:27:18] has announced that Hindus will hoist the Pakistani [00:27:21] flag on their homes on August 15. Similarly, the Executive [00:27:25] Committee of the Punjab Christian League has appealed [00:27:28] to all Christian communities to celebrate Pakistan's independence [00:27:32] and hoist Pakistan's flag. In this session, a prayer resolution [00:27:36] was also presented for Quaid-e-Azam. [00:27:40] A.R. Changez, President of the Muslim League's Defense Committee, [00:27:43] that Muslims should become a shield for non-Muslims and keep [00:27:47] a close watch on elements creating mischief. [00:27:51] He also appealed to non-Muslims not to leave [00:27:54] their homes. In Jhelum's Town Hall, a picture of Quaid-e-Azam [00:27:58] Muhammad Ali Jinnah was displayed. The day before, [00:28:01] in Jhelum, after the meeting, [00:28:05] a picture of Governor-General Muhammad Ali Jinnah was installed. [00:28:08] The series of paying tribute to Quaid-e-Azam, who laid [00:28:11] the foundations of the State of Pakistan, is continuing in other cities [00:30:36] Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif returned home after completing his visit to Saudi [00:30:40] Arabia. The Governor of Madinah, Prince Salman bin Salman bin [00:30:43] Abdulaziz, bid farewell to the Prime Minister and the Pakistani delegation.
