[00:00:32] With loaded ammunition
[00:01:02] coincidence. They are coming for the release of their leader,
[00:02:03] No violent group will be allowed to enter Islamabad. There are
[00:02:07] clear orders from the Islamabad High Court regarding the closure of roads and obstruction
[00:02:11] of public movement. The administration will ensure judicial
[00:02:14] orders. The people of Jamaat-e-Islami are peaceful and understanding. There
[00:02:18] is contact with these people at every level. Press conference by Minister
[00:02:22] of Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar.
[00:02:27] Due to the tension in the region, oil prices have been continuously increasing. In the
[00:02:30] current situation, the Prime Minister has launched a special relief program for the middle
[00:02:34] and poor classes. The special
[00:02:36] there is that fuel scheme is successfully underway, and the Prime Minister himself
[00:02:39] is monitoring it. This special scheme is only for the common man. So
[00:02:42] ago in the country. I mean, far, 2.2 million people have
[00:02:45] Look, the thing is registered under the scheme. Minister of Information
[00:02:46] Attaullah.
[00:02:50] The economic journey is moving from stability to economic development. Foreign exchange
[00:02:54] reserves have reached the highest level in the country's history. Unfortunately,
[00:02:59] Okay, point, point noted. Nobody. everyone is affected by the situation in the Middle
[00:03:28] operandi. Look, the thing is
[00:03:48] East. The plan to make the September 27th protest violent has come to light,
[00:03:52] causing a wave of concern among the
[00:03:54] the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Look, public. Junaid Akbar's statements about the politics of dead bodies
[00:03:57] and violent protests, and the threat to destroy the federal capital.
[00:04:11] PTI's objective is to spread chaos and destruction in the country. Junaid Akbar's statement
[00:04:15] reflects the intention to spread chaos and destruction. They do not believe
[00:04:19] in peaceful protests. There is a fear of violence and bloodshed under the guise
[00:04:22] of protest. Protecting the lives, property, and livelihoods of the people
[00:04:26] is the responsibility of the government. We will not allow the closure of roads
[00:04:30] and disruption of public life. Minister of Information and Broadcasting
[00:04:33] Attaullah Tarar's reaction to Junaid
[00:04:35] Akbar's violent statement.
[00:04:40] We sheltered Afghans for five decades and shared our limited resources with them.
[00:04:44] 70 to 80% of the terrorists who attack our mosques, schools, markets,
[00:04:47] and army are Afghans. Afghans are showing solidarity with
[00:04:51] India, our eternal enemy. Despite continuous contacts, the hatred and
[00:04:55] animosity of Afghans have not decreased. Pakistani students' solidarity and love
[00:04:58] for Afghan students.
[00:05:11] Were these not all involved
[00:06:42] has said that PTI workers will make Islamabad Somnath. The series
[00:06:46] of strong statements continues, while the government has clearly stated that
[00:06:49] no group will be allowed to enter Islamabad
[00:06:53] under any circumstances. The government's policy is absolutely
[00:06:56] clear in this regard. Today, during a press conference, Federal Minister
[00:07:00] of Information Attaullah Tarar Sahib said what we are presenting
[00:07:04] to you. Regarding these long marches. No
[00:07:07] violent group will come to Islamabad. The administration,
[00:07:11] police.
[00:07:42] two-wheeled vehicles, whether it is a motorbike, loader, or chingchi, they
[00:07:46] are getting petrol at a discount of 100 rupees per liter for
[00:07:50] 20 liters. 2.2 million people have registered themselves, and
[00:07:54] 1.9 million tokens have been issued in this regard. He said
[00:07:57] that it is being monitored 24 hours a day. The situation in the Middle
[00:08:01] East, which we will discuss later. Due to this, there has been an unusual
[00:08:05] increase in the international market, so we will discuss these points. Three
[00:08:08] prominent personalities have joined me, leading members of their party.
[00:08:47] did not you think that such provocative statements, the other side's stance, that your
[00:08:51] past violent demonstrations mean you will
[00:08:54] not be allowed to enter Islamabad this time? Do you think
[00:08:58] there was any need for such a statement about making Islamabad Somnath?
[00:09:01] In
[00:09:07] the thing is that by giving such
[00:09:10] statements, they think that they are great.
[00:09:32] When there is a system of oppression in the country, this
[00:09:34] agitation or march or
[00:09:38] protest is their right. They will exercise that right.
[00:09:41] But the party chairman says it will be peaceful, and you are saying
[00:09:45] the agitation
[00:09:46] will be violent.
[00:09:49] Absolutely, look. Just now, before you,
[00:09:53] they had gone. Just now,
[00:09:56] the Chief Minister of KPK had gone to Sindh.
[00:10:00] Was even a single pot broken in Sindh anywhere? No.
[00:10:04] The speech was very peaceful, there was a gathering,
[00:10:07] they met, they toured the interior, they went everywhere.
[00:10:11] They themselves create the violence. When you place hundreds
[00:10:14] and thousands of containers there, block roads, stop
[00:10:18] people, have you forgotten the era of the lawyers' movement?
[00:10:23] in that? Getting decisions on such petitions
[00:10:27] from the High Court, all the judges,
[00:10:30] from the judges to all the politicians
[00:10:32] and all the lawyers and civil society,
[00:10:36] everyone was involved, because that was also a system of fascism, against
[00:10:40] which there was an agitation against such an action. Today, the same situation
[00:10:43] prevails. Therefore, you cannot stop these
[00:10:47] talks by doing this. You cannot stop them under
[00:10:50] any circumstances. You will only fuel it further,
[00:10:54] instead of ending this matter. Enough is enough. For God's sake,
[00:10:57] back to democracy, rule of law, sir.
[00:11:01] There has been contact, hasn't there? Raja Nasir Abbas Sahib says he met
[00:11:04] Muhammad Naqvi Sahib, so sir, you people also take a step
[00:11:08] back. Barrister Gohar Sahib says the government should also take a step
[00:11:11] back. Ali Gohar Baloch Sahib's concerns will be resolved, but if such statements come from one side
[00:11:15] that they will make Islamabad Somnath, and from the other side that they
[00:11:19] will not allow it under Islamic law, then the matter will become even more complicated,
[00:11:23] won't it? Both parties should not back down.
[00:11:40] but you cannot make this a basis, because
[00:11:44] you have to see what is happening here. Okay.
[00:11:48] Is there a constitution in Pakistan right now? You, when
[00:11:51] you need it, you remember the constitution at that time, you remember
[00:11:55] the law at that time. Your long march is not for those objectives, is it? It is
[00:11:59] for the release of Khan Sahib, isn't it? Sir, these objectives are all mixed, aren't they?
[00:12:02] Yes, our long march is basically against the system
[00:12:06] of fascism. If this is not fascism, then what is it? It is against
[00:12:09] the rule of Islam. Why can't it happen in Lahore, sitting in Lahore?
[00:12:13] Why can't it happen in Karachi, sitting in Karachi? Why is it necessary for Peshawar to come
[00:12:16] to Islamabad? Agitations are just agitations. They happen like this all over the world.
[00:12:20] This is not strange in Pakistan. Yes, this talk. Agitations happen
[00:12:24] like this all over the world. They shouldn't happen. First of all, such a thing shouldn't
[00:12:27] happen. But when such a bad system comes, when you have
[00:12:31] put the constitution aside, then there is no end to
[00:12:35] it. You have freed everyone from the restrictions of the constitution.
[00:12:38] That is the real problem. Okay. If everyone
[00:12:42] had been kept under the restrictions of the constitution, this problem would never
[00:12:45] have arisen. Ali Gohar Baloch Sahib, have you heard? Ahmed Owais Sahib is saying
[00:12:49] that due to your fascism, matters have come to this point. Sir,
[00:12:53] you people also used to bring long marches. Raza Haroon
[00:12:57] Sahib's party also brought them. If they are bringing them, why are they
[00:13:01] being stopped? Their point is that peaceful protest is their right. Let them protest.
[00:13:10] that what he is saying is, first of all, that
[00:13:14] Junaid Akbar Sahib did not just say that
[00:13:18] they would make Islamabad Somnath,
[00:13:20] but also said that they would also bring dead bodies.
[00:13:24] And that means the same old
[00:13:27] provocative approach, setting the country on
[00:13:30] fire, practicing the politics of burning and looting, spreading
[00:13:34] anarchy in the country in the name of protest,
[00:13:38] committing violent incidents, making
[00:13:41] people's lives miserable by lockdowns,
[00:13:44] and setting fire to national installations, causing them
[00:13:48] damage. This is their old modus
[00:13:53] that what do they consider the constitution? Do they consider the constitution
[00:13:57] that they should be imposed once again through the RTS
[00:14:00] system, and just as they stole the 2018
[00:14:04] election, they should be imposed again by stealing the election?
[00:14:07] A parliament that
[00:14:10] amends the constitution and in which
[00:14:13] the judiciary and in which
[00:14:17] all that system that means
[00:14:20] that from time to time the 73rd
[00:14:24] amendment was distorted, they restore it to its original
[00:14:27] spirit. So they say why has the parliament made
[00:14:31] these amendments? If the judiciary
[00:14:34] is such that when you remember that when
[00:14:38] their usurping government was subjected to a vote of no
[00:14:41] confidence, and after that they held a protest
[00:14:45] in which they set fire to green belts and attacked installations,
[00:14:49] and despite giving an undertaking in the Supreme Court
[00:14:53] in 22. This means that they entered
[00:14:57] the red zone, Mr. R. So at that time,
[00:15:00] when we took contempt of court, at that time
[00:15:04] there was a "Get to you" judiciary. They like that judiciary
[00:15:07] which tells a criminal "Get to you," and they
[00:15:11] said that the founder of PTI might not have even received our decision.
[00:15:15] This means that they accept such courts.
[00:15:18] Okay. And the system that has been created today,
[00:15:22] and the way the original form of the constitution
[00:15:25] has been restored through amendments, they don't like that judiciary,
[00:15:29] nor that parliament, nor that law.
[00:15:33] They only like that law through which the founder of PTI
[00:15:36] used to say that, "Brother, people are sent
[00:15:39] to my meetings and
[00:15:43] that means that the way it is brought,
[00:15:46] this is not hidden, Ali Bhai." How can this gangsterism be resolved? These
[00:15:50] are your allegations, sir, and their allegations. Now, today the Finance Minister says
[00:15:53] that such protests and sit-ins cause a loss of 120 billion rupees
[00:15:57] daily to the economy. Pakistan's economic situation is not
[00:16:00] very good, so then after that, this
[00:16:04] conflict is not good, and it's not about the government.
[00:16:08] Sir, look, the thing is that
[00:16:12] as Tarar Sahib has said, he has
[00:16:15] said absolutely right. Okay. And this is not his
[00:16:19] first time today. Look at his track record, whether it's the incidents of May
[00:16:22] 9th, the incidents of November 26th, or his previous
[00:16:26] protests. We also held protests during our opposition period, we also
[00:16:30] held rallies, we did everything, but until today, tell me
[00:16:34] one incident, tell me one name.
[00:16:44] I remember very well that when a campaign was launched
[00:16:47] across Pakistan under the platform of PDM,
[00:16:51] a movement was launched, there was not a single
[00:16:54] city in the country where we did not hold large public
[00:16:58] gatherings, held rallies, did everything, but until today, was there any
[00:17:02] incident like May 9th? Okay. Was anyone's property damaged
[00:17:06] there? These are the people,
[00:17:09] these are the groups that
[00:17:12] repeatedly attack the country. Tell me, why did all the
[00:17:16] resources of KPK launch an invasion on Islamabad?
[00:17:19] The IG of KPK and the Chief Secretary have also said it. They have issued
[00:17:22] instructions, haven't they, Sir Anwar Sahib? My point in saying this
[00:17:26] is to tell me one incident where they did not
[00:17:30] spread chaos in the name of protest. Let me ask them first,
[00:17:33] in the name of protest, did they not spread
[00:17:36] anarchy in the country?
[00:18:07] where their government is, the so-called government,
[00:18:11] the situation
[00:18:13] two days ago, one day ago, there was
[00:18:17] a terrorist incident two days
[00:18:20] I am not saying that it happened because of them,
[00:18:23] but I am showing the delicacy of the situation, that these are
[00:18:27] the conditions in the country. If these many people gather,
[00:18:30] God forbid, if such an incident happens, who will be responsible?
[00:18:36] That
[00:18:45] is why they, since they are against
[00:18:49] Pakistan and use every tactic to spread
[00:18:53] anarchy in Pakistan, sir. Now I will go to Raza Haroon Sahib
[00:18:56] for your point, and then I will come to you, Ahmed Owais Sahib. Please
[00:19:00] note the long charge sheet of Ali Gohar Baloch Sahib. Raza Haroon Sahib, please tell
[00:19:04] me, sir, Jamaat-e-Islami has also started a train march. What a strange
[00:21:52] they are coming for the rights of their leader, they are coming for the rights
[00:21:56] of their leader's wife, and when they are released,
[00:21:59] everything else will be fine. So, for God's sake,
[00:22:03] this is very childish, and Ahmed Sahib is sitting here,
[00:22:07] he is a senior man, these are very childish things. You are running
[00:22:10] a campaign, inciting people, emotionally charging them,
[00:22:13] making them sentimental, you have started from a province
[00:22:17] and you don't even know the objective, you don't know the mission.
[00:22:20] Secondly, the big problem of
[00:22:24] Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is not that they don't have
[00:22:27] public support, it is absolutely present. They have popularity among the people,
[00:22:31] they have support among the people, more or less,
[00:22:33] you can debate this, but
[00:22:37] it's not like they are not a popular party. The problem with this party
[00:22:41] is, Anwar Bhai, that this party
[00:22:44] is not structured, disciplined, or organized. Now, any such party
[00:22:48] that has no structure,
[00:26:01] which caused 22 lives to be lost. What will Ahmed Sahib say?
[00:26:05] I am saying that look, you talked
[00:26:08] about the terrorist incident. It is a very tragic and
[00:26:12] painful incident that many were martyred
[00:26:15] in it and there was a lot of damage. Undoubtedly.
[00:26:19] But whose weakness was this? This was not
[00:26:23] the weakness of the Chief Minister of KPK. That
[00:26:26] they came from the Afghan border
[00:26:29] so deep inside.
[00:26:34] there, and there was a suicide attack,
[00:26:38] and they had so much ammunition in it that it caused
[00:26:42] such a big loss. Why is there no action taken regarding
[00:26:45] this lapse? There have been others before, haven't there,
[00:26:49] Sameer Sahib? Because of this, look, listen to me. We close our
[00:26:53] eyes here, and there you open your mind
[00:26:56] and your eyes. You still remember
[00:26:59] a month or so ago.
[00:30:32] Who is saying it? Look what he is saying. If
[00:30:35] he is saying one true thing, one should definitely listen to it. But he is
[00:30:39] not saying it nowadays, is he? He is not saying it nowadays.
[00:30:42] Right now, how many days have passed since
[00:30:46] the election was happening in Azad Kashmir? Okay.
[00:30:49] So they haven't changed, have they? The same things are there. Okay.
[00:30:53] He even said that you people will ask for support from the People's Party
[00:30:57] in this long march again?
