[00:00:00] We have to think, we are saying that in Pakistan
[00:00:03] no one is above the constitution and law. Every person will abide by
[00:00:07] the constitution and law. Why did their government
[00:00:10] not accept the decision of the three-member bench? When
[00:00:14] today we are saying that we have to protest, we are talking about
[00:00:18] protesting, they are telling us to put up containers,
[00:00:21] they put up 17,000 police. When we don't go to cause bloodshed, they provoke us
[00:00:25] to come, and we will see you. The problem is that we don't
[00:00:28] want bloodshed.
[00:01:02] on their faces that they have now realized
[00:01:16] after this decision
[00:01:20] Right. Okay,
[00:01:57] companies and their authorized dealers
[00:02:00] Under 232 and 234, emergency was imposed in Khyber
[00:02:03] Pakhtunkhwa. The President of the country signed the summary on the advice of the Prime Minister.
[00:02:07] On the recommendation of the Federal Cabinet, the Prime Minister sent the summary to the President
[00:02:10] of the country. The President of the country signed
[00:02:14] the summary after reviewing the security situation in the province, reports of institutions, and
[00:02:17] failure of negotiations. We are sharing an important news with you.
[00:02:21] Under Articles 232 and 234 of the Constitution,
[00:02:24] using the powers conferred, President Asif Ali Zardari
[00:02:28] imposed emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:03:00] How will it be followed?
[00:03:01] گا؟
[00:03:05] Yes, this is today's development. I am constantly informing you. Now
[00:03:09] the federal government will definitely have the powers
[00:03:13] with the governor, and the governor will manage
[00:03:17] all administrative affairs. And the decisions that have been made,
[00:03:20] especially the decisions of the federal government regarding terrorism,
[00:03:24] the provincial government was asked many times
[00:03:27] to implement them, because the public
[00:03:31] was constantly
[00:03:33] and then you also refuse being targeted by terrorist attacks.
[00:03:36] government will specifically make appointments I would like to inform all my viewers about some facts
[00:03:38] as to what were the reasons that the provincial government
[00:03:42] repeatedly ignored
[00:03:45] the measures taken by the center.
[00:03:49] And this whole matter has reached
[00:03:53] this stage today, where powers have been transferred
[00:03:56] to the governor. This is not a matter of one day.
[00:04:00] On this, they say
[00:04:04] that the accident did not happen suddenly, it was nurtured
[00:04:07] for years.
[00:04:10] is the matter, this is the time It was nurtured for years. Some of its facts are as follows:
[00:04:12] According to the report of the police and sensitive agencies, from March
[00:04:16] 2024 to September 2026, terrorism in the province
[00:04:20] increased by 195 percent. And in 2026,
[00:04:24] out of 3145 in the country, 1971
[00:04:27] happened.
[00:04:30] That is, two out of every three happened in this province. The reason for this
[00:04:33] was flawed
[00:04:35] always talks about dialogue. policy and a soft corner for terrorists.
[00:04:38] Moreover, the terrorists kept changing their tactics and
[00:04:42] the provincial government kept sleeping.
[00:04:44] that the governor In 2024, there was not a single drone attack on the police. In 2026, there were 170.
[00:04:48] In September, 159 bomb attacks occurred, and
[00:04:52] 63% of the targets were police
[00:04:55] and security forces. And if I tell you about the amount, then in 10
[00:04:59] years, only
[00:05:05] and the people say
[00:05:12] limited to Peshawar. Where did 800 billion rupees go?
[00:05:16] This remained the biggest question. The province kept burning and the provincial government
[00:05:20] kept preparing for the attack on Islamabad. These are all
[00:05:23] unfortunate measures.
[00:05:26] As I said, today's measure
[00:05:29] had to be taken because of many other such measures.
[00:05:33] The Chief Minister always backed
[00:05:36] down. He did not support his security forces;
[00:05:39] instead, he always gave the impression of supporting
[00:05:43] terrorists. This was
[00:05:47] a regrettable act. The price of this silence
[00:05:50] was paid by the children of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:05:54] Schools and ambulances were burnt in South Waziristan.
[00:05:58] Drone attacks occurred in Bajaur. Two school children and a child near
[00:06:02] a mosque in Lakki Marwat were martyred. Why did the time for Article
[00:06:05] 232 come at all? Article 232
[00:06:09] is for such situations. And the approval of both houses of Parliament.
[00:06:44] If a police officer is fully deployed
[00:06:47] and is not provided with a bulletproof
[00:06:51] vest to protect against bullets,
[00:06:54] then what will that police officer ultimately think?
[00:06:58] That our institutions cannot even stop a single bullet.
[00:07:01] But despite that, they remained steadfast.
[00:07:05] But the provincial government continued its incompetence,
[00:07:08] due to which this decision
[00:07:42] that Pakistan is like a home. If there is a problem with
[00:07:46] any member of the family, and they will certainly
[00:07:49] choose recklessness,
[00:07:53] then the people of that home, of that province, will
[00:07:57] look to what side? So the Prime Minister's hint
[00:08:00] was towards this, that whether the people are from Balochistan,
[00:08:04] Sindh, Punjab, or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:08:08] the center cannot leave any of its people alone.
[00:08:12] Now those people,
[00:08:15] those law enforcement agencies stand together
[00:08:19] against these terrorists.
[00:08:22] But the provincial government supports
[00:08:25] these terrorists in some way or another.
[00:08:29] And it is also proven. So then the Prime Minister
[00:08:33] of the center has to take such a decision, as the decision was taken
[00:08:37] today, on which you can see that there is happiness
[00:08:40] in the province, that God willing, at least the terrorists
[00:08:44] will be reined in. Okay, Shahrukh, this school of thought
[00:08:48] and these people faced a little disappointment. Those who were still a little
[00:08:52] optimistic. Although they were consistently following the mantra of 'I will not accept'.
[00:08:55] But when a last effort was made regarding Maulana
[00:08:59] Fazlur Rehman, there were some hopes, but he rejected
[00:09:03] that too. What would you say about this? What was the approach
[00:09:05] like?
[00:09:08] Look, democratic forces never go towards
[00:09:12] the final situation.
[00:09:15] I, as a reporter, also understand that this stage has been reached
[00:09:18] after making the last effort.
[00:09:21] Because I have been covering all these things.
[00:09:25] The dialogues that happened earlier were covered.
[00:09:29] You saw breaking news on different channels
[00:09:33] that negotiations were successful. As the Interior Minister came back
[00:09:36] and said that 99% of the negotiations were successful,
[00:09:39] and one person came and sabotaged everything.
[00:09:43] So what is the reason? A politician
[00:09:48] He talks about moving forward. But
[00:09:51] here, the mantra of "I will not accept" has finally shown this day
[00:09:57] had to take over the powers. After all,
[00:10:01] the life of the public is not greater than
[00:10:04] any government. So the Prime Minister definitely had to take
[00:10:08] steps to improve the lives of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:10:13] Yes, exactly. Shah, those who used to make claims about public support,
[00:10:16] today when this presidential order was issued in favor of the people
[00:10:20] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, it was formally welcomed by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:10:24] Sweets were distributed. So, haven't their claims been exposed
[00:10:27] and their intelligence revealed?
[00:10:28] گئی؟
[00:10:32] They couldn't even understand the writing on the wall.
[00:10:36] Now, when they saw the frustrated faces
[00:10:39] of the people there, wondering why
[00:10:42] this is happening to us? On a global level, oil prices are rising, causing inflation.
[00:10:46] Secondly, because of these rulers, essential goods are not reaching
[00:10:50] our province. Our lives
[00:10:53] are getting worse
[00:10:56] day by day. We are suffering from inflation, and our rulers
[00:11:00] daily raise slogans, sometimes one Shah takes out a procession,
[00:11:04] sometimes another Shah takes out a procession. They don't believe
[00:11:07] that we made them rulers and seated them in our province.
[00:11:11] So, who are they protesting against? And what is our fault
[00:11:15] that we put them in power, and today we
[00:11:18] are asking for their help against these terrorists,
[00:11:21] but they are not ready to help? So, why shouldn't there be happiness
[00:11:27] that at least our home, our peace and order, should be stable,
[00:11:31] whether the governor does it or the chief minister does it. Now
[00:11:35] the governor will issue orders and the provincial institutions
[00:11:38] will implement the orders of the federal government, so there will definitely be happiness
[00:11:42] on the faces of the people.
[00:11:45] besides that, let's debate a bit on why this situation
[00:11:49] arose or why emergency was imposed. For our listeners and
[00:11:53] viewers who have just joined us,
[00:12:25] regarding the situation in Khyber, he advised
[00:12:28] that he should send a summary to the President of the country under Articles
[00:12:31] 232 and 234. So,
[00:12:34] the Prime Minister sent the summary to the President of the country,
[00:12:38] and then regarding the emergency,
[00:12:41] the President, since the Prime Minister had sent the summary,
[00:12:45] signed it and
[00:12:48] transferred the powers to the Governor. Now, when the federal
[00:12:51] government takes any action, the Governor will implement
[00:12:55] all those actions in the province. So,
[00:12:58] this situation did not arise suddenly.
[00:13:02] Every effort was made until the very last
[00:13:04] moment. In the meeting of the Federal Cabinet,
[00:13:08] the Deputy Prime Minister
[00:13:11] and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar tried to contact Maulana Fazlur Rehman
[00:13:14] so that matters could perhaps return to
[00:13:17] dialogue and this matter would not
[00:13:21] reach an emergency. But the same
[00:13:25] stubbornness, that the condition of the previous
[00:13:28] sessions was finally the same for this conversation.
[00:13:32] So all political forces tried from all sides,
[00:13:36] but their only stance was that they would not accept. So after that,
[00:13:40] the powers have been finally transferred to the Governor.
[00:13:43] Okay, regarding administrative matters, there are also some
[00:13:47] reports about appointments and transfers in accordance with the constitutional
[00:13:51] reforms or the constitution and law. What are the updates on this?
[00:13:58] Yes, exactly. Now, the federal
[00:14:01] as it wishes. As I also mentioned in my report,
[00:14:05] the police need many things. The federal government
[00:14:08] used to talk about equipping the police
[00:14:12] and law enforcement agencies to combat terrorism.
[00:14:15] They talked about providing armored vehicles, providing bomb disposal squads,
[00:14:19] but none of this was provided. Instead, the money given
[00:14:23] by the federal government was used for their rallies,
[00:14:27] sit-ins, and kickbacks. Now,
[00:14:30] the procedure, which is the share of Khyber
[00:14:34] Pakhtunkhwa, and the law enforcement agencies
[00:14:38] will be properly equipped. The federal government will issue directives,
[00:14:42] and the Governor will carry out all these
[00:14:45] administrative tasks. Okay, Shahrukh, the issue of terrorism
[00:14:49] here is the biggest and most important issue,
[00:14:53] which could not be compromised.
[00:14:55] It has been done, and voices have started rising from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:14:59] towards the federation, hoping for help and that the step would be taken
[00:15:03] to protect their lives, property, and assets from these terrorists.
[00:15:06] In this regard, what
[00:15:10] is your opinion on the future course of action
[00:15:14] and the public expectations?
[00:15:15] ہے
[00:15:19] Yes, the hope of the people is that the protection of life
[00:15:22] and property comes first.
[00:15:37] A neighbor, as a Muslim, gave refuge. But the unfortunate thing
[00:15:40] is that the government present there, the regime present there,
[00:15:44] exported terrorism to Pakistan from its own country.
[00:15:48] Now, how to get rid of these terrorists?
[00:15:51] So the people wanted that our provincial government
[00:15:55] should stand against these terrorists. Our law enforcement
[00:15:58] agencies are fully ready to play their role.
[00:16:02] In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there is no house where there is no martyr
[00:16:06] in some way or another. But the government there
[00:16:09] did not pay attention to any of these matters.
[00:16:13] Now that the federal government has made this decision,
[00:16:17] under Article 200, Article 232 and 234,
[00:16:21] the Governor will manage all administrative
[00:16:24] affairs and will also equip the police
[00:16:27] and will take steps to secure the police stations.
[00:16:31] So now the situation of the people will also improve.
[00:16:35] Health facilities will improve. Due to their protests in their own province,
[00:16:39] sometimes in one place, sometimes in another place,
[00:16:43] containers had to be set up here in Islamabad,
[00:16:47] and roads were blocked. Many such situations occurred,
[00:16:50] which then affected inter-provincial transportation.
[00:16:54] There was also a shortage of many essential goods.
[00:16:57] Now that shortage will surely end,
[00:17:01] and the life of the province will return to normal. So because
[00:17:05] of this, the people will definitely move towards prosperity.
[00:17:33] And the analysts, the experts in political affairs, say that PTI and the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have committed political suicide,
[00:17:37] and it will be very difficult for them to face the public in the future. What would you say
[00:17:41] about this?
[00:17:45] Look, it seems that they
[00:17:49] were probably under the misconception,
[00:17:52] as the analysts are saying, that if we embrace
[00:17:56] political death in this direction, we will probably
[00:18:00] become immortal. But the people, who brought them in, have been suffering
[00:18:04] for 13 years, and in this last period, they have crossed
[00:18:08] all limits. Now, those who were under the misconception that if an emergency
[00:18:12] is imposed on us, we cannot deliver anything to the public.
[00:18:16] We will become heroes like this: "Look, we were not allowed to do anything."
[00:18:19] Whereas they have been in power for more than a decade,
[00:18:23] and they have not been able
[00:18:27] to improve the current health situation.
[00:18:30] To inform us about this situation, Haider Hayat Khan has joined us.
[00:18:33] He is a renowned analyst. Let's start the discussion. Assalam-o-Alaikum.
[00:19:07] The responsibilities of the government should be taken care of. The government
[00:19:10] should fulfill them in a better way.
[00:19:13] And then, the primary thing, which we saw
[00:19:16] most of all, was that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:19:20] suffered from terrorism. But here we
[00:19:24] are seeing that one after another, such a
[00:19:26] Chief Minister came to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa who, on terrorism,
[00:19:30] did not cooperate with the federal government on the things
[00:19:34] that were finalized with consensus in the National Action Plan.
[00:20:37] trying to spread chaos and anarchy in Pakistan, so when the federal government
[00:20:41] talked about it, the provincial government
[00:20:45] did not cooperate at all, in fact, they tried to create a hurdle,
[00:20:48] which was also suffered by our security forces
[00:20:52] and the general public of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:20:56] So I believe that this was the time
[00:20:59] when even a delay of an hour could have worsened things.
[00:21:03] So a very timely decision has been taken.
[00:21:07] It should have been taken much earlier, but even now that the government has taken it,
[00:21:10] I believe that the way the government wants to improve
[00:21:13] things in these 11 areas now. Now a
[00:21:16] comprehensive operation will be launched,
[00:21:20] and their facilitators will be dealt with iron hands,
[00:21:23] because we have made many sacrifices, we have sacrificed thousands of lives
[00:21:27] in this war against terrorism. And if our political leadership
[00:21:31] adopts this approach that our priority
[00:21:34] is power, that it is power,
[00:21:38] it is authority, and the release of a person,
[00:21:41] and the public, the 45 million people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:21:45] are suffering, but they are not in their priority. If the Chief Minister
[00:21:48] keeps sitting on a container instead of in the Chief Minister's office,
[00:21:52] and incites his people against the institutions of his country,
[00:21:56] then I believe that such
[00:21:59] decisions become a necessity for the federal government.
[00:22:02] So I believe that
[00:22:06] has been taken, provincial departments will increase cooperation
[00:22:10] there, and the counter-terrorism
[00:22:13] measures and the capabilities
[00:22:16] that the provincial departments should have will be improved.
[00:22:21] And I think this political issue does not need to be explored
[00:22:25] like that. Because
[00:22:28] the problem was terrorism. The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:22:32] are suffering. Law enforcement
[00:22:35] agencies are suffering. Incidents are happening there every day.
[00:22:39] The situation in Azgah is very critical. So in such a situation, I believe
[00:22:42] that this decision is the best decision.
[00:22:46] But this is the best decision taken out of compulsion.
[00:22:57] After that, there was no development in the province, no welfare project for the people,
[00:23:01] no infrastructure there, nor any step taken to protect
[00:23:05] the personnel of the security and law enforcement agencies, for their training,
[00:23:09] for increasing their capacity. Instead, the people who claimed
[00:23:12] public support, today when this emergency was imposed, people there are celebrating
[00:23:16] the day of salvation. Please elaborate a little on their insight and foresight.
[00:24:20] he could not take the steps he should have,
[00:24:23] any kind of cooperation with the federal government, then this is what will happen.
[00:24:27] Public sentiment will be this, because the public voted for you
[00:24:31] so that you would handle their matters that are the responsibility of the government
[00:24:33] in a good way. If the government does
[00:24:37] not do that, then definitely in such matters, as I said,
[00:24:41] these are not good decisions. Imposing Governor's rule
[00:24:44] or emergency cannot be called
[00:24:48] favorable decisions. But if the public
[00:24:52] is calling such decisions the day of salvation,
[00:24:55] then this
[00:25:00] when the leadership of Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:25:03] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will have to revise its policies.
[00:25:07] Okay, you can handle political matters however you want,
[00:25:11] but that doesn't mean that you act as opposition while in government.
[00:25:14] You are in government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and look at how incidents
[00:25:18] of terrorism are increasing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:25:22] every passing day. Our youth are sacrificing their lives,
[00:25:25] and you have no concern for this.
[00:25:29] Instead of working with the federal government and law enforcement agencies,
[00:25:32] you are creating hurdles and misleading them.
[00:25:36] So you have to come to your senses. You have to revise your policies.
[00:25:40] If policies have to be revised. Thank you very much, Haider Hayat Khan Sahib, the analyst
[00:25:44] was with us, and on this important topic we were discussing, the imposition
[00:25:48] of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The people of the province, fed up with the incompetent government of PTI,
[00:25:52] have declared the emergency as the day of salvation,
[00:25:55] that we fully support the decision of the federation and express good wishes
[00:25:59] for the new setup. That's all for now from the news studio.
[00:26:07] It is an acknowledged fact that no country in the world can achieve
[00:26:10] economic development without political stability.
[00:26:14] It is an unfortunate coincidence that whenever economic stability starts to return
[00:26:18] to Pakistan, some mischievous groups, under the guise of politics, declare
[00:26:21] an attack on Islamabad. They forget that
[00:26:25] one day of political unrest costs Pakistan's economy
[00:26:28] 120 billion rupees. Services sector: 86 billion rupees.
[00:29:03] as a frontline state in combatting the manners of
[00:29:06] terrorism, we have fought terrorists in our own
[00:29:09] cities, in our own mountains, and along
[00:29:12] our frontier. Pakistan
[00:29:15] sacrificed almost 100 thousand
[00:29:19] precious lives and suffered economic losses
[00:29:22] exceeding 150 billion dollars.
[00:29:25] And let me say this in all humility, the world is
[00:29:29] safer today thanks to the valuable sacrifices
[00:29:32] of our valiant armed forces and brave
[00:29:36] civilians who took on these terrors and
[00:29:39] mercenaries. The peace- loving world must
[00:29:43] never forget this reality.
[00:30:09] Emergency imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under Articles 232 and
[00:30:13] 234 of the Constitution. The President of the country signed the summary
[00:30:16] on the advice of the Prime Minister. On the recommendation of the Federal Cabinet,
[00:30:20] the Prime Minister had sent the summary to the President of the country. The President
[00:30:23] signed the summary after reviewing the security situation in the province, reports
