And life has been completely [00:08:28] paralyzed. This controversy intensified [00:08:31] after approximately 130 million names were removed from the voter [00:08:35] lists. The Election Commission supported the BJP in the election [00:08:39] process. Curfew has been imposed in Jantar Mantar and its surrounding areas.

[00:10:12] The government is completely incapable of dealing with these protests [00:10:16] and protesters at this time. According to Indian media, more than [00:10:20] 10,000 people, including students, farmers, and members of Dalit organizations, have been taken into custody. [00:10:23] These large-scale raids, arrests, and detentions [00:10:26] of workers are ongoing. Section 163 has been imposed [00:10:30] in Delhi. Temporary detention centers [00:10:33] have also been established. If we talk about Indian media, they claim [00:10:37] that there are checkpoints everywhere. All kinds of [00:10:40] gatherings have been banned. And [00:10:44] 130 million names have been removed from the voter lists. And [00:10:47] on this basis, these protests happening all over India, [00:10:51] and the issues between the government and the protesters, this controversy has intensified. [00:11:55] have been taken into custody. Protests are currently ongoing across India, [00:11:59] and the situation is getting worse. You can see these scenes of [00:12:02] arrests and detentions on your television screen. Indian media is also present here, and [00:12:06] Indian media itself is admitting that temporary detention centers [00:12:10] have been set up on a large scale for the arrests happening in this [00:12:14] protest by Indian forces, [00:12:17] and 30,000 personnel [00:12:21] belonging to various agencies are trying to control this situation. [00:13:03] Or they were trying this, [00:13:06] was that 130 million voters, Ganesh [00:13:11] declared many people dead. And [00:13:15] then they set this condition that the voter [00:13:19] would himself verify his vote. [00:13:22] Previously, what used to happen was that people from the Election Commission [00:13:26] would go door-to-door and do it. From that also, they tried [00:13:29] to remove about [00:13:33] focusing on Muslims and [00:13:36] the lower class people from whom they feared that they would [00:13:40] not vote for BJP. So, for them, they made an effort, [00:13:44] and then look, even from inside the Election Commission, the Election Commissioner [00:13:48] had raised almost 14 recorded questions [00:13:51] to the Chief Election Commissioner and said that this [00:13:55] revision of the voter list is not according to the constitution [00:13:58] and law, and he had raised questions about its intention. [00:14:02] And especially now, an example is being given of what [00:14:06] happened in West Bengal, that in West Bengal, till today, BJP or [00:14:09] RSS Sang Parivar had not been able to win any seat there. [00:14:13] This time, they swept the elections. Why did they do that? Because this time, [00:14:17] approximately 9.1 million voters, mainly [00:14:20] Muslims, were removed from there, and they won the elections from there, [00:14:25] and because of this, it happened that the BJP [00:14:29] formed its government there. Mamata [00:14:31] Banerjee had been ruling there for the last 15 years, [00:14:35] and she herself was a Dalit, so she had great support [00:14:39] from Muslims and also from Dalits. That's why [00:14:42] you see, the Cockroach Janata Party leaders are all [00:14:46] asking this question: why is this happening? [00:14:50] This is the so-called shining India. Look, it's the largest [00:14:54] democracy, the heart of democracy, and there's foul [00:14:57] play happening there because Modi Sahib in BJP [00:15:00] wants to keep control with himself. He doesn't want to leave [00:15:04] power. [00:15:07] The Janata Party came into the field, and its leader [00:15:10] Abhijit has also been arrested, and another person [00:15:14] named Dru Rathi, who has a huge [00:15:17] following as a YouTuber, has also been arrested. And the Congress has also [00:15:21] joined them, and the opposition [00:15:25] bloc is involved in this. Civil society people are involved, [00:15:28] and along with that, Shiv Sena people are also involved [00:15:32] in this. So, India has been exposed [00:15:36] that this democracy is nominal. They can go to any [00:15:39] extent for their power, just like the oppression [00:15:43] and brutality against Muslims they are doing against Christians, [00:15:46] even against Dalits. Internationally, you see [00:15:50] that they are killing Sikhs in transnational repression, [00:15:53] they are causing terrorism in Pakistan. So, India is a [00:15:56] country that is considered [00:15:59] a rogue state. So, India has been exposed, and today, [00:16:03] yesterday rather, the New York Times also published an [00:16:06] article on this. [00:17:07] and the way they are being acclaimed, and all walks of life [00:17:11] are, or society's people are respectful, whether they are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, [00:17:15] Christians, they have joined them, [00:17:18] and the way they now perceive a political threat [00:17:22] in the future, this Cockroach Janata Party [00:17:26] will likely be, and that's why they are [00:17:29] trying to counter them. They were rigging the elections. [00:17:33] When you see that on a massive level, you make [00:17:37] 130 million people disappear, then I think this is something [00:17:40] very surprising, and there are approximately 200 million Muslims, [00:17:44] they also want to control them. So, that's the intention [00:17:47] of Ganesh Kumar, the Chief Election Commissioner, [00:17:50] that he should do it. So, I think look, the way these [00:17:54] things are happening, their intentions [00:17:58] are visible. What are the intentions of Modi Sarkar's [00:18:01] BJP? Because [00:18:04] he does not want to leave power by any means. [00:18:07] So, that's why the effort was today, if not Modi, then tomorrow [00:18:11] Yogi Adityanath will be there. [00:18:14] But I think now they have been exposed [00:18:17] to the people, and we have the example of West Bengal. [00:18:21] People have realized that if they continue to do these things, [00:18:25] it will be one-sided. India is already critical, [00:18:28] and as a Hindu Republic, [00:18:31] then I think a genuine movement [00:18:35] has started all over the world. [00:20:50] An attempt has been hinted at, and before any final decision regarding Khyber [00:20:53] Pakhtunkhwa is reached, an attempt will be made [00:20:57] through Maulana Fazlur Rehman. During the cabinet meeting, [00:21:00] Deputy Prime Minister Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar also contacted Maulana Fazlur Rehman. [00:21:04] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should support the federation against [00:21:08] terrorism. This important matter was discussed [00:21:11] in the telephonic conversation. According to sources, we are informing [00:21:15] you that an important meeting of the Federal Cabinet was held [00:21:19] under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif. [00:21:48] presented before any final decision. [00:21:54] According to sources, during the cabinet meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Senator [00:21:58] Muhammad Ishaq Dar contacted Maulana Fazlur Rehman, [00:22:02] the leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government [00:22:05] should support the federal government against terrorism. [00:22:09] This telephonic conversation took place. According to sources, we are sharing [00:22:12] important news with you regarding the Federal Cabinet meeting. This important [00:22:16] meeting of the Federal Cabinet was held under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif. [00:22:36] Before reaching any final decision regarding Khyber [00:22:39] Pakhtunkhwa, a last attempt will be made through Maulana Fazlur Rehman. [00:22:43] During the cabinet meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar [00:22:47] also contacted Maulana Fazlur Rehman. Pakistan correspondent. [00:23:02] has been contacted. What are the updates? [00:23:06] Yes, exactly. Right now, an important update has [00:23:10] come, and our sources are telling us that under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, [00:23:13] the ongoing Federal Cabinet meeting [00:23:17] has expressed deep concern over the terrorism situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, [00:23:20] and has expressed concern over the deliberate [00:23:24] disengagement of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government in the fight against [00:23:28] terrorism, instead of eradicating it. [00:23:30] A final attempt will be made [00:23:34] through Maulana Fazlur Rehman before any final [00:23:37] decision regarding Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This is an important point, [00:23:40] that for any [00:23:44] a last attempt will be made through Maulana Fazlur Rehman [00:23:48] to improve [00:23:50] the situation, and that [00:23:53] the provincial government should also come towards [00:23:57] negotiations or such a step that is commendable [00:24:01] for rejecting terrorism. [00:24:05] During the cabinet meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Senator Muhammad [00:24:08] Ishaq Dar contacted Maulana Fazlur [00:24:11] Rehman, and the important discussion [00:24:15] was that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should support [00:24:19] the federal government against terrorism. [00:24:22] And before any final decision, [00:24:26] contact will definitely be made through Maulana Fazlur Rehman, [00:24:30] and a last attempt will be made. Yes. [00:24:33] The information that has come to light regarding this meeting, the biggest and most important [00:24:37] point is that it was discussed that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government [00:24:41] should support the federal government against terrorism. What would [00:24:45] you say about the efforts being made by the government to convince [00:24:48] the KP government in this regard? [00:24:52] Yes, exactly. In this regard, the entire [00:24:55] federal cabinet is making efforts and trying to convey [00:25:00] provides a justification [00:25:04] that if there is such a situation that there is a threat to law [00:25:07] and order in the province, then certainly [00:25:11] governor's rule can be imposed. But still, [00:25:15] democratic forces consider this as a last option, [00:25:19] and the federal government wants to avoid [00:25:22] it as much as possible and try to ensure [00:25:25] that the assembly present there plays a role against [00:25:29] terrorism and certainly supports the federal [00:25:33] government in crushing the terrorist forces. [00:25:37] So, for this effort, Maulana Fazlur Rehman will now be contacted, [00:25:40] and an effort will be made to resolve the issues [00:25:44] in a better way. Okay, please tell me [00:25:48] that the deliberate disengagement [00:25:50] from the war against terrorism instead of eradicating terrorism [00:25:53] is certainly a matter of concern, which the cabinet members have also expressed. [00:25:57] Under the constitution of Pakistan, it is the government's responsibility [00:26:00] to ensure law and order anywhere in the country. So, what [00:26:04] would you say about the role of the KP government in this situation, according to the constitution, [00:26:08] for our viewers and listeners? [00:26:09] Yes, [00:26:13] certainly, the situation of the KP government is regrettable. [00:26:17] The federal government's efforts [00:26:20] are being sabotaged indirectly and directly. [00:26:24] You see that the police are making sacrifices, law [00:26:27] enforcement agencies are making sacrifices. It is the home [00:26:31] of [00:26:38] ... and continuous infiltrations are attempted from Afghanistan. [00:26:42] They are not being rejected. Meaning, the people of the province want [00:26:45] development. Like the rest of the country, there should be development there, [00:26:49] and this monster of terrorism [00:26:53] should be crushed. Those to whom they gave their vote, [00:26:56] and now after getting votes, they are on the streets, sometimes protesting [00:27:00] and sometimes under the guise of some protest, they are present on the streets, [00:27:04] and they should support the law enforcement agencies, they should support [00:27:07] those young people who are striving to maintain [00:27:10] peace and order in the province. But unfortunately, the provincial [00:27:14] government present there is not agreeing to this [00:27:17] point and is failing to provide protection [00:27:21] to the province. Right. It is failing to provide [00:27:24] protection to the people in the province. A last effort will definitely [00:27:28] be made by the government through Maulana Fazlur Rehman before any final [00:28:09] decision regarding Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Shahrukh, please tell [00:28:13] me that the deliberate disengagement of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government from the war against terrorism instead of eradicating [00:28:17] terrorism is undoubtedly a major concern. Please tell [00:28:20] me what expectations there are from the government's talk of reconciliation [00:28:24] and negotiations, which did not receive an encouraging response from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:28:28] government, according to the demands of the current situation? [00:28:30] Yes, exactly. I can hear [00:28:33] that the contact was interrupted for a while. [00:28:36] The situation there is certainly alarming, [00:28:40] and as I told you, the federal [00:28:43] government is also trying in the ongoing [00:28:46] meeting of the federal cabinet to resolve the matters [00:28:50] in a better way. But before this talk of [00:28:54] resolution, negotiations were also held with Tehreek-e-Insaf [00:28:58] in the parliament, and efforts were made. [00:29:02] But even at that time, a hint was given [00:29:05] that the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:29:09] is dealing with all the talks continuously. So, the entire province [00:29:12] cannot be held hostage for the release of one [00:29:16] person. And for this reason, efforts were being made [00:29:20] to somehow rescue the people of the province from this [00:29:24] terrorism, and it was suggested to adopt [00:29:27] a constitutional way. But despite this, [00:29:31] the entire federal cabinet is present, [00:29:34] and yesterday, the President and the Prime Minister also met, [00:29:38] and in that also, efforts were made to adopt the democratic [00:29:42] process. The federal government is continuously [00:29:45] striving to resolve the issues through talks [00:29:49] in a better way. But the thing is that [00:29:53] the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is only [00:29:56] doing politics of protests and slogans, [00:30:00] and they only care about their own politics. They do not care [00:30:03] about the interest of the state and especially [00:30:07] they do not care about the interest of those people who voted [00:30:11] them into assemblies. Now, those very people [00:30:15] of KP, you must have seen in various interviews that those very people [00:30:18] are regretting that they sent whom to the assemblies. Now these [00:30:22] people are failing to protect them. [00:30:26] The health facilities, education facilities, are out of the question. [00:30:30] The terrorism is continuously [00:30:33] coming, and they also seem to be standing [00:30:36] aside from the efforts of the federal government. [00:30:40] Okay, Shahrukh, please tell me that you have raised a very important [00:30:44] point regarding democracy and the constitution. [00:30:47] So, undoubtedly, this is a big issue for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
