[00:00:30] I was not ready to stand, if anyone have been immediately to meet us, he
[00:00:31] Along
[00:00:34] was also afraid that this picture or any thing would be hidden.
[00:00:37] I never had
[00:00:41] so many meetings with them, you wouldn't even know, but I never said
[00:00:46] Despite that a picture should be released because they said it creates problems for these people. We said, no,
[00:00:49] we have clarity on one thing, that we don't want
[00:00:53] to bring politics into this.
[00:00:58] The third most important thing is that in no case
[00:01:02] deployed. can the federation have one foreign policy
[00:01:06] and a province have another foreign policy. It's impossible. It can't happen.
[00:01:09] And there you saw how many
[00:01:12] times what our stance was and what their stance
[00:01:15] was, and this happened repeatedly, not just once, but many times.
[00:01:19] Their
[00:01:23] connections with the Taliban are
[00:01:27] And with the mountain-like courage no secret. I won't say anything else.
[00:01:30] Four
[00:01:32] the requirements, the circumstances demanded or five of you can plan to visit those districts
[00:01:36] being run in such a way now. If Allah Almighty keeps you safe, and brings you back,
[00:01:40] it's difficult to come back,
[00:01:43] because at that time, the situation there is actually bad which needs to be fixed. But those
[00:01:46] people took out a whole procession
[00:01:48] according and didn't say anything
[00:01:51] to one person. This is not a normal thing. On one hand,
[00:01:55] raids are happening there one day earlier, and the next day you can pass through that area
[00:01:58] and no one says anything. This is not a normal thing at all.
[00:02:02] ہے۔
[00:02:07] Regarding terrorism,
[00:02:08] اوپر
[00:02:13] our only point was that it's impossible for us
[00:02:16] to allow the daily
[00:02:19] martyrdoms of our soldiers or policemen
[00:02:23] on terrorism and for the provincial government not
[00:02:27] to be ready to take ownership of it.
[00:02:31] This was happening on a regular basis every single day.
[00:02:34] There
[00:02:37] was a significant difference between the figures for police resources
[00:02:41] and our figures. They say we gave them, we say
[00:02:44] you gave the money, you wrote
[00:02:47] about the economy, about running it down, but whether they actually received it or not, that was the problem
[00:02:49] the economy, we talk about foreign investments. for us. You
[00:02:53] cannot fight terrorism
[00:02:56] alone in any situation. You have to fight it together.
[00:03:00] Now we had only two options: either we continue
[00:03:04] with daily martyrdoms or we put an end
[00:03:07] to this. So this difficult
[00:03:11] decision we made has a proper
[00:03:13] background. We tried
[00:03:19] Thank you, sir. As the Honorable to avoid it as much as possible.
[00:03:22] If terrorism is increasing
[00:03:25] by 195%,
[00:03:28] has been authorized by the federation in about a year and a half,
[00:03:31] then it's not a small thing.
[00:03:36] the spelling of governance? Do they know And martyrdoms have also increased by 113% in about
[00:03:38] 31 months. Take anything.
[00:03:41] 518
[00:03:44] policemen have been martyred in the last year
[00:03:48] and a half, since January 2024.
[00:03:51] And
[00:03:53] you say that we have already given the budget, we have given
[00:03:56] to find you a budget of 20 billion. terrorists. They have an unholy Oh brother, a whole
[00:03:58] war is being fought against you. Now if you say that we have done a great favor to the police by giving 20 billion,
[00:04:03] we are one nation. apart from salary and other things, I don't think
[00:04:07] effort during this interim this is appropriate. So the second thing
[00:04:10] is that your point of view is that no, we will first
[00:04:14] define whether this person is a terrorist or not. Someone is firing
[00:04:18] at you, martyring your people, so you will sit for a definition even on that.
[00:04:21] Well, there were many problems that
[00:04:25] but we do in policies. were related to their governance, but personally, our
[00:04:29] It is stated in 1494 Ministry of Interior's point of view was very clear that this whole thing
[00:04:32] has 0% to do with politics, and we
[00:04:35] were purely looking at it on the basis of terrorism
[00:04:39] and we wanted to board them only on the basis of terrorism,
[00:04:42] that if they come along with us on this, it would be very good.
[00:04:47] about the imposition of emergency, And believe me, if that agreement had happened that day, this situation
[00:04:50] would not have arisen today. Even after that, if they had agreed even last night,
[00:04:54] this thing would not have happened. The entire leadership
[00:04:57] made every effort to prevent this situation.
[00:05:00] You must ask them who were the masterminds
[00:05:04] who were sabotaging everything and
[00:05:08] how
[00:05:11] they agreed with us. And after that, whether it's the People's
[00:05:14] Party or PML-N, both delegations were present. You ask
[00:05:18] both, so we had to do this.
[00:05:21] And God willing, once
[00:05:24] the Law Minister will tell
[00:05:28] you in detail about the things that have been imposed today. After that,
[00:05:31] I am just praying to Allah that Allah Almighty makes it
[00:05:35] easy for us and in this war against terrorism,
[00:05:39] our army, our police, our paramilitary.
[00:06:06] All these things were discussed before the Prime Minister advised the President of Pakistan about it.
[00:06:09] There was a very detailed cabinet meeting,
[00:06:12] and people were also reporting about it. It
[00:06:16] lasted for more than two hours. And in that, the
[00:06:20] relevant departments also submitted
[00:06:23] reports. From Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Governor
[00:06:27] sahib had some very alarming things, which
[00:06:31] he conveyed through a letter
[00:06:33] to the federal government because they are representatives of the federation.
[00:06:36] And they fulfilled their constitutional responsibility,
[00:06:40] which is in Article 234.
[00:06:43] That if the provincial government
[00:06:46] is
[00:06:49] that there is a constitutional breakdown in the province
[00:06:52] and the writ of government is also not
[00:06:56] visible, and instead of correcting it,
[00:06:59] you are prioritizing your politics
[00:07:03] and the lives and
[00:07:06] property of the people and the welfare of the province
[00:07:10] and what is good for Pakistan is being pushed
[00:07:14] aside. So they fulfilled their constitutional responsibility. Along
[00:07:18] with that, a lot of material and reports that
[00:07:21] the Interior Minister shared with you, among which one of the most alarming
[00:07:25] things was that in the last two
[00:07:28] to two and a half years,
[00:07:32] the incidents of terrorism, extremism and
[00:07:35] terrorism, which are reported incidents,
[00:07:39] have increased by 196%.
[00:07:43] That means if there was one incident every two or three days, it went up to three incidents,
[00:07:47] and there was an increase of approximately 200%.
[00:07:51] And the number of martyrdoms and
[00:07:54] injuries, and the destruction of installations and the destruction
[00:07:58] of vehicles, also saw a severe
[00:08:01] increase. One way to deal with this was for the
[00:08:05] provincial government to work with the federation,
[00:08:09] with the Pakistan Armed Forces to fight that war.
[00:08:42] She explained everything, so in such a situation,
[00:08:46] the federal government, the President of the country, while
[00:08:50] remaining within the scope of the constitution,
[00:08:54] and these are the provisions that
[00:08:57] the original framers of the 1973 Constitution, our elders
[00:09:01] in Parliament, sat together and brainstormed
[00:09:04] and included these articles because
[00:09:07] the Federation of Pakistan
[00:09:10] is a collection, it's a country,
[00:09:15] These are its units, but these units were also bound
[00:09:19] to live in cooperation with the Federation. And there are various provisions
[00:09:22] of the Constitution in which this was expressed.
[00:09:26] Article 149 of the Constitution,
[00:09:29] its Clause 4 states that the Federal Government will direct the provinces,
[00:09:33] normally we say that we don't interfere in many domains, in health, in education,
[00:09:38] ہیں۔
[00:09:41] that wherever there is talk of peace and tranquility
[00:09:45] in the country and talk of the country's protection,
[00:09:49] security, the federal government will give directions to the provinces. If they do not implement
[00:09:53] it, then there are also consequences. Article 232 of the Constitution,
[00:09:56] which talks
[00:09:59] says that if internal
[00:10:03] threats are such that the security of the province is
[00:10:07] at stake, and along with that,
[00:10:11] or if there is a threat of external invasion,
[00:10:14] meaning a foreign attack, here, the whole border area is on fire,
[00:10:18] and what is happening from our neighboring country, from Afghanistan,
[00:10:22] is not hidden from you, and the internal
[00:10:35] federal government is thinking, I had said that a procedure
[00:10:38] is given in the constitution. The day the federal government has that material
[00:10:42] and the federal government
[00:10:44] will be able to justify that now the President sahib
[00:10:48] should use this power, that
[00:10:52] day, a decision will be made within
[00:10:55] the constitutional framework. And you heard, you have been seeing,
[00:10:59] you have been covering that at what level
[00:11:02] the bill was, that negotiations continued
[00:11:05] until 2:30 at night. Yesterday there was another
[00:11:09] attempt.
[00:11:11] that, things were still at a standstill. So
[00:11:15] in this background, today, after detailed consultation,
[00:11:18] the President of Pakistan,
[00:11:21] on the advice of the Prime Minister,
[00:11:25] exercising the powers given in Article 232
[00:11:29] of the Constitution and Article 234 of the Constitution,
[00:11:32] has imposed emergency in Khyber
[00:11:36] Pakhtunkhwa. In common
[00:11:39] parlance, when matters of Article 232
[00:11:43] arise, we call it an emergency, and when matters of 234 arise,
[00:11:47] we call it Governor's Rule. But this situation was so grave
[00:11:50] and exceptional that both
[00:11:54] the provisions,
[00:11:57] that both situations were
[00:12:01] such that both provisions were exercised
[00:12:04] and the powers given in them, in the
[00:12:08] first proclamation issued by the President,
[00:12:13] to that, the background was told to you.
[00:12:17] It must have been notified by now.
[00:12:20] In it, the entire background is given that where are the activities.
[00:12:55] The organization issues it. For the first time, we are in very difficult
[00:12:59] circumstances. For the first time, they have said that Pakistan
[00:13:03] is the worst affected country by terrorism.
[00:13:07] They have put us at number one. On one hand, we talk
[00:13:14] So in these circumstances, who will come to us when
[00:13:18] we don't have our own resolve? So all those things were considered,
[00:13:21] and the proclamation encompasses
[00:13:25] all these things. And on its basis,
[00:13:28] the mechanism of the constitution
[00:13:32] states that the federal government
[00:13:35] has through this proclamation,
[00:13:39] rendered the provincial government inactive.
[00:13:41] It ceases to exist
[00:13:44] at this time.
[00:13:48] And the Governor
[00:13:53] to exercise the powers of the provincial government
[00:13:57] that have been delegated to him, which the constitution allows.
[00:14:01] And for this, through a subsequent order,
[00:14:03] the Governor
[00:14:06] has been advised
[00:14:10] to form an 11-member advisory council.
[00:14:13] Atta Tarar sahib will tell you
[00:14:16] that every effort has been made
[00:14:21] the kind of people who are needed
[00:14:25] for improvement, who can work
[00:14:28] with dedication and
[00:14:32] period. Under the second
[00:14:36] order, for the 12 districts
[00:14:39] that are almost in a state of war,
[00:14:42] the federal government has established
[00:14:45] a secretariat under
[00:14:48] the Governor and Chief Secretary
[00:14:51] that will oversee
[00:14:56] these 12 districts and keep the federal government informed
[00:14:59] because the situation there is very serious.
[00:15:02] In this, there is an ARDC
[00:15:04] that is a council
[00:15:08] established that will
[00:15:11] handle all matters related to reconstruction and development.
[00:15:15] Yes, Mr. Atta, yes, it will handle
[00:15:19] all those matters, and an officer of
[00:15:22] Additional Chief Secretary level will serve
[00:15:26] as Administrator. And you will be notified
[00:15:29] of these 12 districts. The names of the districts
[00:15:33] are also there. Their management
[00:15:36] will be handled by the provincial government
[00:15:39] and the central government through this mechanism.
[00:15:43] The Governor sahib will also oversee it. In the proclamation,
[00:15:47] obviously, in accordance with the intent
[00:15:51] of the constitution, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:15:54] provincial ministers, advisors,
[00:15:57] special assistants, Advocate General and many other
[00:16:01] constitutional office holders
[00:16:04] deactivated.
[00:16:08] with this,
[00:16:11] under Article
[00:16:14] 245, the federal government
[00:16:17] has issued
[00:16:20] a proclamation for deploying the Pakistan Armed Forces
[00:16:23] to assist the provincial government,
[00:16:25] which is currently managing the province
[00:16:29] under the leadership of Governor Kundi sahib,
[00:16:32] according to the procedure given in the constitutional mechanism,
[00:16:36] under Article 245. And they were already
[00:16:40] Let me clarify. In the war against terror,
[00:16:43] they are making all these sacrifices. And as a result of this deployment,
[00:16:47] our soldiers and officers
[00:16:50] are being martyred there. And they
[00:16:54] are doing as much as they can
[00:16:58] to eradicate it, but to convert
[00:17:01] it into a more coordinated effort
[00:17:05] and
[00:17:13] Now, the procedure is that time to
[00:17:15] time, the Constitution
[00:17:18] authorizes, and the proclamation issued by the President
[00:17:22] authorizes the federal government
[00:17:25] to issue appropriate orders
[00:17:28] through the Governor there
[00:17:32] from time to time so that the affairs
[00:17:35] of the province can be run constitutionally
[00:17:38] within the constitution and the
[00:17:41] results or objectives that
[00:17:45] are intended to be achieved by this proclamation
[00:17:48] can be ensured. For its details, I will request
[00:17:52] the Minister of Information to inform
[00:17:55] you about the setup and what its affairs
[00:17:59] are. The ratification
[00:18:02] of these proclamations will be done
[00:18:05] by the National Assembly and the Senate
[00:18:09] of Pakistan separately up to the extent of Article
[00:18:12] 232, and it has to be done
[00:18:15] within ten days. For this, a session of Parliament is also proposed
[00:18:18] to be called in the coming days, in one or two
[00:18:22] days, and then this matter will also be taken to a joint sitting.
[00:18:25] At the same time, since this is a requirement
[00:18:29] of Article 234, that you
[00:18:32] also have to debate that matter and give it approval
[00:18:35] in the joint
[00:18:38] session of Parliament, so
[00:18:41] all these matters will be
[00:18:44] presented before Parliament
[00:18:48] according to this constitutional procedure so that they can
[00:18:51] make their decision regarding its ratification.
[00:18:56] Minister for Interior and the Honorable Minister for Law
[00:19:00] have shed light on its two different
[00:19:03] aspects, one is the aspect of law and order, safety
[00:19:06] and security. And the second is its legal aspect.
[00:19:09] Look, today when there was a consultation in the cabinet
[00:19:12] under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister,
[00:19:15] it was the well-thought-out opinion
[00:19:19] of all the cabinet members from end to end
[00:19:22] that
[00:19:24] the PTI government
[00:19:27] is hand in glove with
[00:19:32] alliance with terrorists. And terrorists
[00:19:36] are officially given access to how
[00:19:40] a district will be run, meaning the report
[00:19:44] presented by the Intelligence Bureau and law enforcement agencies
[00:19:47] indicated that the situation there is so terrible,
[00:19:51] as Mohsin Naqvi sahib also said,
[00:19:54] that all political parties there have been attacked
[00:19:58] by terrorists. My sister, Suman Haroon Bilour, is sitting
[00:20:02] with you. She will tell you more about it,
[00:20:05] but because PTI has an unholy
[00:20:07] alliance, they are officially given secure
[00:20:11] access and money. But
[00:20:15] what is the reason that police stations
[00:20:19] in many districts have been handed over
[00:20:22] to the Taliban? Meaning the people you were supposed to protect.
[00:20:26] The common citizens whose lives and property you are constitutionally
[00:20:29] responsible for protecting. And not fulfilling
[00:20:33] that constitutional responsibility, inaction is one
[00:20:50] from hospitals to mosques to police stations
[00:20:53] to armed forces personnel,
[00:20:55] you have empowered them. These are two
[00:20:59] different things. That is, a constitutional breakdown occurs
[00:21:02] when you empower those
[00:21:06] people and make them a stakeholder in your authority. If I say that
[00:21:09] a power-sharing formula was gradually developing
[00:21:13] between the terrorists and the PTI government of KP,
[00:21:17] which started from the southern districts and was gaining more
[00:21:21] ground throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, I was in the hospital
[00:21:25] in Kohat, and the civilians who had come there,
[00:21:28] who were severely injured,
[00:21:32] said, "Get rid of them, they will destroy us. We are injured,
[00:21:36] but we want to fight against the terrorists."
[00:21:40] And they said, "We are honorable people,
[00:21:43] we are people of honor, and we don't abandon our revenge."
[00:21:46] I don't know why these terrorists have been given
[00:21:50] a free hand throughout the province. So you see, those who were responsible
[00:21:54] for law and order, for safety and security,
[00:21:57] not only did they facilitate
[00:22:00] but they made terrorists respectable in their administration.
[00:22:03] I went to the house of this constable. It takes
[00:22:06] a lot of courage for this work. Faheemullah, from Kohat,
[00:22:10] he was the only son
[00:22:13] of his father.
[00:22:17] with which his father said that even life is sacrificed for Pakistan,
[00:22:50] who are these people? Who are these Taliban? I, by the grace of Allah, say this on the record
[00:22:54] that these
[00:22:57] are people funded by foreign powers who want
[00:23:01] to bring our country to the brink of destruction. Now, any
[00:23:04] group that receives funding
[00:23:08] from outside and comes and martyrs our people
[00:23:11] and harms the lives and property
[00:23:15] of our people, and there is a provincial
[00:23:18] government that sits with them and facilitates
[00:23:50] that these terrorists' people, their supporters, should also be given a place
[00:23:54] in the police force. So they were gradually pushing the entire province
[00:23:57] towards destruction, of which irrefutable
[00:24:01] evidence and proofs exist. And tell me, you can check
[00:24:05] the entire cabinet. What
[00:24:07] is the performance of the KP cabinet? You might see them talking
[00:24:11] on talk shows in the evening, but besides
[00:24:15] that, what did the Health Minister do? What did the Education Minister
[00:24:19] do? What did the Home Minister do? How many hours did they spend
[00:24:22] on governance? Or do they even know
[00:24:26] how governance is carried out? Or how
[00:24:29] to lead the people of the province towards prosperity? Now I will show
[00:24:33] you the structure that today, when
[00:24:37] this group has been gotten rid of, who are the competent
[00:24:40] people who are now included in this council? Please come forward.
[00:24:44] I will show you one by one that
[00:24:48] the Home portfolio in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:28:32] you have done betterment, where you have served, you have made improvements
[00:28:36] there, in the institution you have been a part of,
[00:28:39] you have done betterment in its competence, in its service
[00:28:43] delivery for the public, for the people of Pakistan. So all
[00:28:46] these people have similar careers. Yes, next is Communication.
[00:28:50] Mr. Asif Rafiq Afridi has been appointed
[00:28:53] to this advisory council for Communication, Local Government,
[00:28:57] and Housing & Transport. He has also been an ex-caretaker provincial
[00:29:00] minister. A seasoned interp.
[00:29:12] He is our very distinguished Chief Khatib, Khatib-e-Ala of KP,
[00:29:15] Tayyab Qureshi sahib, and Administrator
[00:29:19] of Jamia Ashrafia Peshawar and Imam of Mohabbat Khan Mosque.
[00:29:22] And you see him with us often in the Paigham-e-Aman Committee.
[00:29:26] His services for counter-terrorism are immense. And
[00:29:29] look, it's not an easy task
[00:29:33] to issue not only a fatwa against terrorists while sitting
[00:29:37] in a religious seminary, but also to make a positive
[00:29:40] contribution to the narrative against terrorism on a daily basis.
[00:29:44] So I think it's a very good name
[00:29:48] and he has great services not only for Islam but also for countering
[00:29:52] terrorism. Next, in Energy, we have Usman Saifullah Khan.
[00:29:55] He has served on the board of members of GIK Institute, Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute.
[00:29:59] He is also an ex-senator and on the board of PSO.
[00:30:32] She is currently a member of the National Assembly. She has also been a member of the KP Assembly.
[00:30:36] Along with that, she has been the chairperson of the KP Standing
[00:30:39] Committee on Information and Public Relations. But I would like to add
[00:30:43] that I don't understand how the KP government
[00:30:47] faces Suman Haroon Bilour sahib.
[00:30:50] Whose husband was martyred for
[00:30:53] Pakistan, whose father-in-law was martyred for
[00:30:56] Pakistan, and similarly, the Bilour family.
