[00:12:56] Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah has said that the PTI [00:13:00] government has taken Khyber Pakhtunkhwa back to the Stone Age. They are facilitators of terrorists. [00:13:03] The blood of every martyr in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is on Sohel Afridi's hands. [00:13:14] Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said that in the past, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was a source [00:13:18] of pride for us, but now the people of KP are looking for development. [00:13:22] PTI has done nothing but create chaos. The people of Khyber [00:13:26] Pakhtunkhwa do not even have access to basic facilities. The people [00:13:29] want development and prosperity, just as Muslim [00:13:33] League-N, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, is busy serving the people. The number of hours Shahbaz Sharif [00:13:37] spends in a day, the focus on governors, the projects that are coming, [00:13:41] the measures being taken for relief, the reforms [00:13:45] being carried out. If you calculate, [00:13:48] Sohel Afridi has spent zero out of zero [00:13:52] hours on governance. You have left Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [00:15:25] You want to hand over the entire province to terrorists because you [00:15:28] prioritize political interests over national interests. The Information Minister [00:15:32] said that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa can no longer afford the politics of sabotage. [00:15:35] The politics of [00:15:37] chaos is not in anyone's interest. The government officials of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:15:41] are focusing on the release of a prisoner instead of focusing on the governance of the province. [00:15:44] Muhammad Mazhar Abbas, Pakistan Television [00:15:48] News, Islamabad. [00:15:49] اباد۔ [00:15:53] The Prime Minister's Coordinator, Ikhtiar Wali Khan, said that for the past 13 years, [00:15:57] the people of the province have been fooled in the name of revolution. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is plagued [00:16:01] by terrorism and lawlessness, while the provincial government's politics is one of chaos [00:16:04] and confrontation. [00:16:39] are fighting and are dying while fighting, [00:16:43] embracing martyrdom. But what are these people doing? [00:16:46] They are destroying them by making them useless, [00:16:49] killing them. The money [00:16:52] that was meant for the war against terror, these people ate it. [00:16:56] What was done with it? This money was collected, [00:17:00] this money was collected, even for education, even [00:17:03] for police, even for health. [00:17:08] Palaces were bought in Swat. Provincial Assembly member Jalal [00:17:11] Khan said that no effective measures were taken to enhance the capacity [00:17:15] of the police and CTD. Practical steps need to be taken [00:17:19] to improve the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [00:17:23] They can give 200 billion rupees for Peshawar beautification, [00:17:26] but the one percent [00:17:29] from the divisible pool that they get from the federation for the war on terror, [00:17:32] which amounts to 800 billion rupees so far, [00:17:36] that money for the police and [00:17:41] This is the voice of the entire Khyber Pakhtunkhwa public, to rescue us from this [00:17:45] scourge and protect us. [00:17:48] Both leaders expressed concern over the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, [00:17:52] stating that the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has no attention [00:17:56] on the administrative affairs of the province and public welfare.

You know. [00:18:53] And we also know. That you cannot even come [00:18:56] to Islamabad. So you chose another path, that [00:19:00] if this scene is to drop in one day, [00:19:03] then keep wandering in the valleys. [00:19:07] And keep collecting donations, the shop will keep running. Engineer Amir [00:19:11] Maqam said that security forces and police [00:19:14] personnel are sacrificing daily. On the other hand, [00:19:17] for two and a half months, donations are being collected in the name of protest, [00:19:21] and the province has been closed. Engineer Amir Maqam said [00:19:25] that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa want peace and will demand accountability [00:19:29] for the injustice that has occurred in the past 13 years. Khadim [00:19:32] Ali Khan Yousafzai, Central President of Muslim League-N Youth Wing, said on this occasion [00:19:36] that and police personnel are sacrificing, [00:19:39] then on the other hand, the provincial government is not [00:19:43] concerned about it. We have come to end [00:19:47] the collusion with terrorists. [00:19:50] We have come to restore peace in this province. [00:19:53] God willing. At the end of the ceremony, [00:19:56] a "Save Khyber Pakhtunkhwa" rally was organized by the Muslim League-N, [00:20:00] in which a large number of workers participated.

Effective and [00:20:36] لیے موثر اور [00:20:50] if they don't take steps, what do they want to do? [00:20:53] They want to make us like our neighboring country, [00:20:57] where for how many years the education of women and girls has been stopped. [00:21:01] They have lost [00:21:03] the opportunity to work. This is also a problem there. [00:21:07] Many widows are sitting. There is no earning male. [00:21:10] Women are not allowed to leave the house. National Assembly member [00:21:14] Ghazala Anjum said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cannot be left at the mercy [00:21:18] of anyone. The people of the province have understood the intentions of Tehreek-e-Insaf. [00:21:21] Due to the provincial government's incompetence, bad governance, insincerity, indifference [00:21:25] to public and public problems, development in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:21:28] has become a dream. But terrorism has spread its roots. [00:21:32] The peace of the province is completely destroyed. [00:21:36] The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are now united [00:21:39] that this province cannot be left at the mercy of these anarchists [00:21:43] any longer. Dr. Shahista Khan Jaidun said that Khyber [00:21:47] Pakhtunkhwa. [00:22:50] Elements involved in disrupting peace will be dealt with with extreme strictness [00:22:54] according to the law.
