[00:00:02] passes the exam, that can be seen by the youth, that yes, this person is working, so they have an example to follow. So, in this context, I think there will be some improvement. There will definitely be an improvement, and there will be more opportunities. When there are opportunities, young people will be attracted. Insha'Allah. Thank you very much, Shah Sahib, for taking the time. Thank you very much. And with this, we conclude today's program. Goodbye.
[00:00:27] active with our ticket say that whatever
[00:01:00] From today until Monday, celebrations will be held across Pakistan
[00:01:03] to mark the defense agreement. All major
[00:01:07] private and government buildings are illuminated with green
[00:01:11] and red lights. The waving flags of the three
[00:01:14] countries bear witness to national glory.
[00:02:30] Photos of Turkish leadership, flags, banners, and digital
[00:02:33] screens publicly display the beautiful
[00:02:36] and peaceful tagline of security
[00:02:39] and resilience.
[00:02:44] The Islamic Cooperation Organization welcomes the Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement.
[00:02:48] The agreement will strengthen solidarity and constructive
[00:02:51] partnership among OIC member
[00:02:54] countries. The agreement is a manifestation of common resolve
[00:02:58] to address growing security challenges.
[00:04:00] The agreement will give a new dimension to cooperation among Muslim
[00:04:04] countries. A new era of unity and solidarity will begin
[00:04:07] among the Muslim
[00:04:08] Ummah.
[00:04:13] The historic Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement is considered a significant development
[00:04:17] for peace and cooperation in the region. Joy and enthusiasm were expressed
[00:04:20] in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey over the historic agreement.
[00:04:24] The defense agreement has given a new dimension to the partnership
[00:04:27] among the three countries, say senior journalists and intellectuals.
[00:04:55] impact, both negative and positive. if a decision is made for the whole country,
[00:05:00] Visited the Prophet's Mosque (PBUH) in Madinah, offered prayers
[00:05:03] in Riyaz-ul-Jannah, and offered special prayers for the progress
[00:05:07] and prosperity of the country and nation. Deputy Prime Minister
[00:05:11] Muhammad Ishaq Dar and Federal
[00:05:42] Minister Khawaja Muhammad. It is in the interest of intelligence
[00:05:46] sharing and joint defense production. Pakistan's military capabilities
[00:05:49] can be further strengthened. India Today: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,
[00:05:53] and Turkey's defense cooperation has become a challenge for India,
[00:05:56] say defense experts.
[00:06:01] Pakistan's important mediating role in de-escalating tensions between
[00:06:04] the US and Iran. High officials of both countries held direct
[00:06:08] talks in Islamabad. Pakistan played a diplomatic role that even
[00:06:12] major world powers could not achieve. Pakistan succeeded in bringing
[00:06:15] a global and another important regional power to the negotiating
[00:06:19] table at a time when tensions between them were at their peak,
[00:06:23] according to South Asian Voices
[00:06:24] analysis.
[00:06:32] Preparations for Independence Day are at their peak across the
[00:06:35] country. Streets and markets are decorated with green crescent
[00:06:39] flags and electric lights. The Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement has doubled
[00:06:43] the joy of Independence Day. Elders, youth, and children
[00:06:47] are happy. Citizens are busy
[00:06:48] shopping for Independence Day.
[00:06:55] Third phase of Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections: polling will be held
[00:06:59] on August 10 in all three constituencies of district Bagh and one constituency
[00:07:02] of district Haveli. Election campaigns in both districts ended at 12 midnight.
[00:07:06] Polling for candidates' applications in seven constituencies of Sudhnuti
[00:07:09] and Rawalakot was postponed. Elections for Rawalakot and Sudhnuti
[00:08:42] will be held in the next seven days. It's no secret that PML-N
[00:08:46] is going to form the government there. Today, we have with us
[00:08:50] the President of PML-N AJK, Shah Ghulam Qadir Sahib. We
[00:08:53] will discuss with him what the situation is there at the moment,
[00:08:57] what he expects in the future, and how Pakistan Muslim League
[00:09:01] Nawaz will deliver if it comes into government, what roadmap
[00:09:04] they are giving. Shah Sahib, a very warm welcome to the program.
[00:09:08] Thank you very much, and congratulations to you too. First, it's obvious
[00:10:12] that in our competition, it does not have the organizational
[00:10:15] setup, and the biggest benefit we received
[00:10:19] in this election, among other things,
[00:10:23] is that our organizational setup worked very well
[00:10:27] as a backup. The president of our union
[00:10:31] council, the president of our
[00:10:34] constituency, the president of our district,
[00:10:37] and along with them, their general secretary, senior
[00:10:40] vice president, at the ward level, we organized
[00:10:44] at the ward level. So our
[00:10:47] workers became very
[00:10:52] holders, and then we did the second
[00:11:25] presence of Shehbaz Sharif Sahib
[00:11:28] and you saw the Indo-Pak war, it had an
[00:11:31] effect, and since 14 of our constituencies
[00:11:35] are located on the LOC, we faced the brunt of Indian
[00:11:38] firing and we responded. So when
[00:11:42] a nation is victorious, the Pakistani armed forces
[00:11:45] play a big role, and Field Marshal
[00:11:49] Syed Asim Munir also played a big role.
[00:11:53] So,
[00:11:55] multiple things came together at one
[00:11:59] place, and we
[00:12:01] when we talk about the performance of
[00:12:05] Punjab, someone asked me what our manifesto
[00:12:09] is, so I said our manifesto is what you
[00:12:12] are seeing in Punjab, what is happening in Punjab,
[00:12:16] that every street and alley is being cleaned in the morning,
[00:12:20] clean Punjab. So our manifesto is that. Our manifesto
[00:12:23] is that we have to give laptops to educated
[00:12:27] youth there, we also have to give
[00:12:31] loans on the pattern of Punjab, we also have to give
[00:12:35] scooters to girls on the pattern
[00:12:38] of Punjab, and on top of that, the Prime
[00:12:42] Minister of Pakistan has given five
[00:12:45] Danish Schools in Azad Kashmir.
[00:12:48] These were mega projects, these were mega
[00:12:51] projects, each project is worth five billion, so this
[00:14:25] takes 37,000 votes,
[00:14:28] so that love was 585,000 votes,
[00:14:32] so when PTI scattered, our vote bank
[00:14:35] did not decrease, our vote bank increased because PTI
[00:14:39] could not perform, after that, PTI forward
[00:14:42] bloc also could not do anything, then the People's Party government
[00:14:46] came and the People's Party did nothing but blunders,
[00:14:50] so our vote bank naturally increased, so this whole success
[00:14:54] story has a little bit of everyone's effort,
[00:14:57] all our colleagues. Well, you are saying that the blunders
[00:15:01] of the People's Party have brought them to this point.
[00:15:04] In recent days, you must have seen that Bilawal Sahib
[00:15:08] is giving very fiery speeches, in which he is also saying
[00:15:11] that the government's countdown has begun, I don't believe
[00:15:14] in elections, General Bukhari Sahib
[00:15:18] also said that we don't believe in elections, and he is
[00:15:22] also saying that we will take back the seats we lost. You must have heard all these things.
[00:16:08] The one who won today, Umair Naeem, his father,
[00:16:12] Sardar Naeem, remained a member twice.
[00:16:15] His uncle, Sardar Sikandar Hayat Sahib, remained a member
[00:16:19] five times, and he remained the Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir
[00:16:23] twice, and Leader of the Opposition. His grandfather, Fateh Muhammad Kareelvi,
[00:16:27] was a member of the assembly
[00:16:29] during the Maharaja's era, when India and Pakistan
[00:16:32] were not yet formed. Today, if someone tells Bilawal Sahib
[00:16:36] that there was rigging, I have no solution for it, nor
[00:16:40] do you. Similarly, there is a constituency of Khoiratta.
[00:16:43] In that constituency, Raja Nisar Ahmad Khan,
[00:16:47] who was our Law Minister, remained an MLA six times.
[00:16:50] Now, he remained an MLA six times.
[00:16:54] His son lost last time to PTI, not to the People's
[00:16:57] Party. This time, we had two groupings
[00:17:01] there, we resolved those groupings, so he won.
[00:17:04] Now, in this way, I
[00:18:37] just heard him say yesterday,
[00:18:40] yesterday there was a rally in Bagh, I was also
[00:18:43] present. Our rally was attended by people
[00:18:46] of our level. I am not a match for Bilawal Bhutto,
[00:18:50] he is a leader of Pakistan. Our
[00:18:54] Rana Sanaullah Sahib and Amir Maqam Sahib
[00:18:57] were there. Bilawal Bhutto Sahib was there, so I say
[00:19:01] our rally was bigger than theirs. Now, I have
[00:19:04] no solution for the fact that theirs was smaller. What?
[00:19:38] On the other hand, India does not want the democratic
[00:19:41] process to continue in Azad Kashmir. So these are India's
[00:19:44] efforts. We have rejected India's elections,
[00:19:48] saying that elections in occupied Kashmir are not fair. Today,
[00:19:51] people from within us are saying this. If there were some
[00:19:54] truth to it, then we would accept it,
[00:19:58] but no, they should realize.
[00:20:01] Well, you are talking about Bilawal Sahib and how
[00:20:05] he says that if governments don't
[00:20:07] last here? Because your party
[00:20:23] last in the center, how will they
[00:20:29] and you yourself said that it has an
[00:20:33] Do you think you can deliver with this system
[00:20:37] in the current dynamics?
[00:21:50] He was also saying that this time I have so much
[00:21:53] popularity that I want to become Prime Minister from here.
[00:21:56] Ideally, if we look historically, whoever is the president
[00:22:00] of the party becomes the Prime Minister. And at this time,
[00:22:04] there is a lot of discussion, you are one of the contenders
[00:22:08] and a very strong contender indeed. What
[00:22:11] are your expectations? Look, I have followed
[00:22:15] party discipline all my life. I have never jumped
[00:22:18] to win a lottery.
[00:22:50] that as a loyal worker of the party, you have delivered, and
[00:22:54] I think what greater example or proof of delivery
[00:22:57] can there be than taking the party from seven seats to 24?
[00:23:01] And again, I am saying that the third phase is still pending,
[00:23:05] and what are the expectations there? What do you
[00:23:08] think the consolidated figure will go to? Look, with the
[00:23:12] 24 seats we have won, we will reach 30
[00:23:16] by adding six technocrats' and women's seats.
[00:23:19] Absolutely. Our simple majority should be 27,
[00:23:23] we are at 30. Now, in the elections
[00:23:26] for four seats on August 10, I hope
[00:23:30] we should get three. We should
[00:23:33] get three for Haveli and
[00:23:35] two seats for Central
[00:23:39] and Eastern Bagh. So we should
[00:23:43] get these. In these three seats you are talking about,
[00:23:46] Rathore Sahib's election is also there. Do you see him winning his seat?
[00:24:20] has changed in our region, that is unprecedented, and I don't
[00:24:23] think we can turn a blind eye to it or think
[00:24:27] that what is happening in our
[00:24:30] neighborhood will not come to us.
[00:24:34] There is a frustration among the youth, and the
[00:24:38] youth of AJK also have frustration, they have
[00:24:41] grievances, and when we talk about grievances,
[00:24:45] there is a list. If you want, I can give you
[00:24:48] a detailed opinion on that.
[00:25:20] Chief Minister of Punjab, Chief Minister of Sindh,
[00:25:24] and Balochistan. So what is the reason
[00:25:26] that the Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir will not take it?
[00:25:30] Are we inferior people? Is there
[00:25:34] any deficiency in our structure?
[00:25:37] There should be a reasoning, there is reasoning that
[00:25:44] then we are with the whole country.
[00:25:46] We do not make decisions in isolation,
[00:26:05] he progresses and becomes a secretary.
[00:26:08] He is a Grade 20 officer in Punjab and
[00:26:12] in KPK, he becomes a Grade 20 secretary. So what
[00:26:16] do I say that you will get half salary?
[00:26:20] Can I do this or can you do this? Can
[00:26:24] any government do this? We cannot. We
[00:26:29] happens, we are associated with one country,
[00:27:32] we will talk, then either we will be convinced or they
[00:27:36] will be convinced, someone will be convinced. But
[00:27:39] if we don't have a dialogue, they will remain in their place,
[00:27:43] we will remain in our place, then that gap will keep widening,
[00:27:46] it will not end. So can we expect
[00:27:50] that the youth dialogue, if you are also the president
[00:27:54] of PML-N, that is also a position you hold, but if
[00:27:57] you become Prime Minister, will you promote youth dialogue
[00:28:01] in AJK? Will you encourage the youth to come?
[00:29:02] That thing, that 'agree to disagree,' is fading away. People have very
[00:29:06] little patience. But, Shah Sahib, I think you'll agree, again,
[00:29:10] coming to the regional dynamics, business cannot go on
[00:29:14] as usual. Some things will have to change. 100%.
[00:29:17] If you look at what the youth are saying, I won't say it's
[00:29:21] 100% correct, but it's not 100% wrong either. There are some
[00:29:25] things they are saying that are correct. Now, for example, when we talk
[00:29:29] about protocol, you have your own perspective, and it's a correct
[00:30:02] perspective, that it's a thing that needs to change nationwide.
[00:30:06] But if there is an increase in this, let them do their work.
[00:30:10] When they do their work, no one will have any objection. But when
[00:30:13] a convoy of 36 cars goes, people will object. What is the
[00:30:17] need for 36 cars? No one disagrees with security. There
[00:30:20] is a security dynamic, and you should get it. Yes, that is
[00:30:24] there, but Azad Kashmir is a peaceful area, there are
[00:30:28] not so many security concerns there. They have arisen recently,
[00:30:31] otherwise they were not there. I believe I have known you for
[00:30:35] about 8-10 years, and I can safely say that
[00:30:38] until now, you are a very grounded and down-to-earth person.
[00:30:42] I have never seen you, even as a speaker, many people
[00:30:46] have lines of protocol, you didn't have that kind of thing.
[00:30:50] You believe in simplicity. Until now, we have only seen
[00:30:53] that from you, and in the future, we hope that you will carry
