[00:00:25] and very clear. The Information
[00:00:27] I have great hope in Allah Broadcasting Minister is sitting with me. Madam.
[00:00:56] option. With due respect,
[00:01:00] Among the other martyrs, Haji Sahib's only son was martyred.
[00:01:03] Iftikhar Sahib's only son was martyred.
[00:01:07] So today, the story of sacrifices is sitting with me.
[00:01:10] These
[00:01:15] independent empowered women of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are the real face of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is not
[00:01:19] that these people who support terrorism are the ones
[00:01:22] who have seen funerals leaving their homes, but they
[00:01:26] still speak against terrorism with conviction.
[00:01:30] They did not back down, they did not show cowardice, just like these cowards
[00:01:33] in KP, the PTI government who had given a free hand
[00:01:37] to the terrorists. If you want to learn bravery, courage, and determination,
[00:01:41] then come and learn from this woman. The way she has raised her voice
[00:01:45] against terrorists for the past several decades. Despite
[00:01:49] her immense personal loss that her family suffered. Come forward,
[00:01:53] please. These were
[00:01:55] And in this, you know the overall portfolios in the advisory council.
[00:01:58] Mr. Azam has already told you.
[00:02:11] And there will be representation from every tribe, and in this too,
[00:02:13] covers all these efforts will be made by the federal government and the Governor
[00:02:16] to engage with everyone so that it is a completely
[00:02:19] balanced and independent body, and there
[00:02:26] Pakhtunkhwa because of who are sitting here today, we are sitting with we need a local political
[00:02:26] on social media right now resolve and support. Pakistan needs it, so God willing, that will also be the same.
[00:02:32] of the weak and helpless class.
[00:02:51] they have deprived women of
[00:03:07] he contacted Maulana again,
[00:03:27] had linkages with the Taliban?
[00:04:00] That they don't care about anyone's sacrifice, nor do they care about anyone's
[00:04:03] pain. When we are sitting here today,
[00:04:07] my brothers have told you all the
[00:04:10] with the Afghan government, technical things. I
[00:04:11] and our negotiations with them want to talk to you about the martyrs of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I want to talk
[00:04:15] about women. I want to talk about
[00:04:18] South Pakhtunkhwa. Laki Marwat is my ancestral village, and
[00:04:21] I receive messages day and night from there. For how many
[00:04:25] months I have shared with Ata Bhai
[00:04:27] here too, the status is that girls, parents...
[00:04:48] we had with the Afghan government is the same problem
[00:05:00] we used to think that our
[00:05:03] sacrifices, our pains,
[00:05:07] every year that thing intensifies, every year it increases,
[00:05:11] no one even mentions it, so we felt that this was our lonely battle. They say
[00:05:15] that for a drowning man, a straw is enough support.
[00:05:18] Islamabad has sent a whole branch for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa today.
[00:05:22] So we will hold this branch with both hands.
[00:05:26] We will help them. We will pray for them.
[00:05:30] And we will assist them. And I will try
[00:05:33] to convey the sentiment of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:05:37] There has been no development
[00:05:40] of any kind, no prosperity of any kind.
[00:06:12] Our home has gone through this, if we can save someone else's home,
[00:06:16] if we can save another woman's husband, if we can save children
[00:06:20] from the pain and stigma of orphanage,
[00:06:23] then that would be such a thing for me. You know about our Pashtun
[00:06:27] tradition, we have been taught that even if there is grief in the enemy's house,
[00:06:31] we have to go and share their grief. Such people have come
[00:06:35] that they not only do not attend funerals,
[00:06:38] but they insult them
[00:06:41] behind their backs. They spread filth
[00:06:44] on social media, and I assure you on behalf of the entire Pashtun nation
[00:06:48] that if any army personnel is martyred in our
[00:06:51] area, if any police personnel is martyred,
[00:06:55] any customs official from another area, then
[00:06:59] he is also a Pashtun martyr. He sacrificed his life
[00:07:03] to save us, to keep us safe. So the
[00:07:06] widows sitting at home, did anyone go to them? Did
[00:07:10] anyone ask if they
[00:07:12] needed anything? Do you have money to run your
[00:07:16] kitchen? Do your children have any means of
[00:07:19] transport to go to school? Small things.
[00:07:23] This is the responsibility of the government.
[00:07:27] You cannot bring back their loved ones, but in their grief
[00:07:30] they have not fulfilled this duty, but we
[00:07:34] this resolve that we will fulfill those shortcomings
[00:07:37] which is the job of the state and the government,
[00:07:41] to place a hand on the head
[00:07:45] So I hope that we will be able to do that,
[00:07:49] we will be their voice and whatever we can do
[00:07:52] for these women, children, elders, and parents, we
[00:07:56] will do. We also want it, Pakhtunkhwa also wants
[00:07:59] that we also develop at the speed of the rest of Pakistan, but
[00:08:03] development will happen when lasting peace comes. So we will
[00:08:07] request all of you to support us in this mission so that we can move
[00:08:10] forward with this. Mr. Suqri
[00:08:23] and you too. First, sir, please tell us
[00:08:26] about the administrative changes we were talking about in the provinces,
[00:08:29] or the formation of those units. Have these two administrative units
[00:08:33] been formed, because both will work separately? It will be implemented in 12 districts,
[00:08:37] and the rest in one. And with that, sir, have the
[00:08:40] former cabinet members or the Chief Minister
[00:08:43] been taken into protective custody in Khyber, because otherwise
[00:08:47] they would lead such a protest that the public considers chaos,
[00:08:51] and the public believes that they have a significant hand in disrupting the peace and order
[00:08:55] of the province. So has any step been taken to improve peace and order?
[00:08:58] Absolutely. First
[00:09:01] of all, let me clarify that under no circumstances
[00:09:05] is any administrative unit, and Mr. Mansoor will tell you in detail,
[00:09:08] or any such division being made
[00:09:11] that we would say
[00:09:14] that two provinces are being formed, two administrative
[00:09:18] unions are being formed. Not at all. It is written in the middle, it is
[00:09:22] written in the notification, as the Interior Minister is saying,
[00:09:25] the Additional Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been dedicated.
[00:09:29] That is, he is subordinate to both the Governor and the Chief Secretary. He has been given
[00:09:33] a dedicated secretariat because there is a war going on there.
[00:09:37] So what happened immediately is, like South Punjab,
[00:09:40] in South Punjab, an additional
[00:10:25] I will only give this message to them that it is better
[00:10:28] for them to disperse because
[00:10:31] they do not have any provincial protection
[00:10:35] right now and whoever is caught
[00:10:40] for that. We will deal with them very strictly. So my request
[00:10:43] to those people is to please disperse now
[00:10:47] so that life can be smoothed
[00:10:50] there. My name is Luqman Shah, I am from V News.
[00:10:54] Inzam, Minister Tarar Sahib, please tell us what will be the duration of the emergency
[00:10:58] and Governor's Rule, and Mohsin Naqvi Sahib, please tell us what
[00:11:01] is the future of the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:11:05] and his cabinet? Will they go to jail or will they stay in Pakhtunkhwa?
[00:11:08] Mohsin Naqvi Sahib is not
[00:11:10] an astrologer, so he has said that whoever
[00:11:14] is with the law, see, this is a constitutional option that has been used.
[00:11:18] This is not an unconstitutional
[00:11:21] in the 1973 constitution, in the amendment to the original constitution,
[00:11:26] it was made even more watertight, and the supervision
[00:11:30] or the control of the parliament over it was increased.
[00:11:33] So sections 232 and
[00:11:37] 234 themselves have provided the mechanism
[00:11:41] that as far as 234
[00:11:44] is concerned, because the assembly is also rendered
[00:11:47] inactive, and the legislative powers
[00:11:51] of the assembly are given to the parliament.
[00:11:55] So its upper capping limit has been set in it,
[00:11:59] which is six months at the most.
[00:12:02] And the mechanism of 232
[00:12:06] to make the country safe for fighting internal disturbance
[00:12:09] and terrorism, it can continue until
[00:12:13] the situation normalizes in the judgment of the federal government
[00:12:16] and to the satisfaction of the President.
[00:12:20] that the government remains inactive, and the federal
[00:12:23] government itself or through the Governor manages
[00:12:27] the province. So both are written in them,
[00:12:31] there is no such ambiguity in it. Both
[00:12:33] were invoked because the situations were such that all its
[00:12:37] requirements were fulfilled by both. Yes, Ms. Nayer.
[00:12:40] Thank you very much, Nayer Ali from 365 News. My
[00:12:44] question is for you, Interior Minister. Mr. Tarar, please tell
[00:12:48] us that there is a lot of buzz
[00:12:51] that the former Chief Minister of KP...
[00:13:28] to maintain it, they will take them into protective custody, but those who are wanted will be arrested, and
[00:13:32] everyone else will be released as soon as law and order improves.
[00:13:36] Sir, Mr. Naqvi, please tell us, Zulkarnain from ARY News.
[00:13:39] Whenever an intelligence agency gives a report, it does so based on evidence.
[00:13:43] Has any intelligence agency given this
[00:13:47] report with evidence that the cabinet of the KP government
[00:13:52] Did that evidence reach here?
[00:14:07] You should ask them why it didn't happen. Secondly,
[00:14:10] I will answer another thing, but before
[00:14:14] that, what you asked, absolutely,
[00:14:17] there is evidence, not one, not two, not three, but dozens.
[00:14:20] Okay, there is clarity in that. Secondly,
[00:14:24] and this point, we also discussed with the negotiation committee.
[00:14:28] Secondly, let me just tell you one interesting thing.
[00:14:32] We have a lot of contact
[00:14:36] also took place in Saudi Arabia, and in Qatar.
[00:14:39] China also got involved, Turkey also got involved,
[00:14:43] everyone came. We have one demand from them that they still cannot
[00:14:46] fulfill. We say openly, give a statement with us
[00:14:50] on terrorism. Exactly
[00:14:52] that they are not willing to come.
[00:14:56] What is the reason? You should ask them. If it
[00:15:00] is your country, then you should be the first to come and say that we are united on terrorism, not on other things.
[00:15:03] Now when you add if and but that no, not like this, not like that, then
[00:15:07] it didn't happen. So the problem
[00:15:13] we have with them. And for the rest, you can imagine.
[00:15:16] Evidence exists. Irfan Sahib, Assalamu Alaikum. Mr. Natfi, Syed
[00:15:20] Irfan Raza from Dawn. This
[00:15:23] government has been in power for almost
[00:15:25] 13 years, and they could not control
[00:15:28] terrorism. So what do you think? Is there a timeline for how long it will take
[00:15:32] you? And secondly, the situation in Balochistan is also bad,
[00:15:35] so what about that?
[00:16:01] and make available what the army needs.
[00:16:05] that Allah will help us and
[00:16:08] we will very soon bring a great reduction
[00:16:12] in this issue of terrorism, Inshallah. We all, as Pakistanis,
[00:16:15] should trust our police and our armed forces,
[00:16:19] and you will see
[00:16:22] a significant reduction, Inshallah. Secondly, in Balochistan,
[00:16:25] I will just tell you one thing that definitely
[00:16:29] you get to know about many situations after an incident happens,
[00:16:33] but at that time, the way the terrorists
[00:16:37] were dealt with last August-September,
[00:16:41] if you go and visit there, I think a visit has already happened,
[00:16:45] you will have an idea that I am not saying that the situation there has changed or is great,
[00:16:48] but it has started to make a difference. May Allah help us in that too.
[00:16:52] Sir, my name is Intizar Haidri from GTV
[00:16:55] News. Sir, my question to all three of you
[00:16:58] is that when the federal cabinet meeting was going on, it came
[00:17:02] to light that at one point it was perhaps decided
[00:17:05] that no delegation of the cabinet would go to the provincial government
[00:17:09] for negotiations. Was there any chance of a breakthrough
[00:17:12] when there were two consecutive
[00:17:16] meetings and contacts with Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and then Ishaq Dar Sahib made a telephone
[00:17:20] contact? So after that, had such a situation developed,
[00:17:24] and did the matter get worse after Sohail Afridi Sahib's tweet this morning,
[00:17:28] or had the situation already reached a point of no
[00:17:31] return? See, as I mentioned,
[00:17:35] there are two aspects. One is purely legal
[00:17:39] and constitutional framework.
[00:17:42] In that, the requirements written in the constitution,
[00:17:46] you are more informed than us, and everyone, mashallah,
[00:17:51] things very well. For a moment,
[00:17:53] take yourself back to the past years, and what we said in the beginning
[00:17:57] and someone asked in the cabinet too, about the material. Material,
[00:18:01] for more than an hour, only this briefing was going on
[00:18:05] by different officials from the Interior Division,
[00:18:08] from the Defense Division, those who are deployed there, their reports
[00:18:12] and material, and with footage and many other things
[00:18:16] that are not shared due to national security.
[00:18:19] These are serious things, grave things,
[00:18:23] what was the level of collusion? As for
[00:18:26] the cabinet, the Prime Minister's wish was
[00:18:30] until the last moment. He invited Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib yesterday.
[00:18:34] He came. He said the same thing yesterday.
[00:18:37] And with a very open heart, Mohsin Naqvi Sahib, Ata Sahib was present
[00:18:41] in the meeting. Then in the morning,
[00:18:44] and when the cabinet meeting
[00:18:47] was held again, it was once
[00:18:51] again tasked to Mohsin Naqvi Sahib and the Deputy Prime Minister
[00:18:54] that if there is any improvement in the situation,
[00:18:57] you should make one last effort,
[00:19:00] because look, such actions are not taken happily.
[00:19:03] This is not something to celebrate,
[00:19:07] but in the interest of the country, to save the country,
[00:19:11] for the security of the country, for the protection of the people,
[00:19:15] these powers should be used with great clarity, and
[00:19:19] then the cabinet fully authorized the Prime Minister,
[00:19:22] which was his authority. The Prime Minister always makes such big
[00:19:26] decisions in the cabinet after a very open debate.
[00:19:29] So this decision was made, there was no other
[00:19:33] ambiguity in it. Mohsin Naqvi Sahib, I am Saqib Saeed from Ab Tak News.
[00:19:38] Since the PPP era, the series of various operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:19:41] started and is still ongoing,
[00:19:44] but no significant results have been achieved yet.
[00:19:48] What different strategy will you adopt due to which
[00:19:52] this terrorism will be eliminated or the law and order situation there
[00:19:55] will be restored? The reason for this is that in South Waziristan or
[00:19:59] in Tirah, in various places, the people who were displaced
[00:20:03] have not yet been able to return to their homes, and the compensations they were supposed
[00:20:07] to receive in various forms have not been received to this day. See,
[00:20:09] I apologize to you that
[00:20:13] I cannot tell you the strategy or tell it on media.
[00:20:17] As for the compensation,
[00:20:20] that should definitely be asked from the government of that time
[00:20:24] why the compensation was not given. And I think
[00:20:28] that now the Prime Minister and the President
[00:20:31] have both focused heavily on fulfilling
[00:20:35] any financial need there.
[00:20:50] who are currently detained, would you call them political prisoners? What changed
[00:20:53] to justify suspending KP's elected government right now while they're
[00:20:57] mobilizing? Did Field Marshal Asim Munir recommend it under his new
[00:21:00] role as CDF? And the last question is, will this bring expanded
[00:21:04] military operations or civil restrictions? I think there are four questions. So, first
[00:21:08] of all, as I said in the beginning, that
[00:21:12] this is purely a constitutional
[00:21:15] option, a constitutional option available to the Prime Minister
[00:21:18] under the constitution, which is a consensus document, and it
[00:21:22] is for the satisfaction of the President. So, CDF or
[00:21:26] Field Marshal, as far as this decision-making is concerned,
[00:21:29] the Field Marshal or CDF figures nowhere in the
[00:21:33] constitutional scheme, and practically as well.
[00:21:36] Yes, as far as the security concerns
[00:21:39] are there, yes, our army is
[00:21:42] fighting there alongside
[00:21:45] the local police, but you have seen the way the political
[00:21:48] government had been... contributing to that war against
[00:21:51] terror. So, the fundamental grounds for
[00:21:55] imposition of emergency are law and
[00:21:58] order, fight against
[00:22:01] terrorism, and to save innocent people from
[00:22:04] the dreadful consequences of terrorist
[00:22:07] activities.
[00:22:11] We are in the, I think this would be shared by the
[00:22:14] provincial authorities
[00:22:16] because
[00:22:19] till 7 AM, I would say, Khyber
[00:22:22] Pakhtunkhwa was run by the provincial government, headed by Sohail
[00:22:25] Afridi. He may add to certain things,
[00:22:29] but as far as the administration in the new
[00:22:33] framework is concerned, the Interior Minister has been very candid and
[00:22:36] clear. He said that yes, some of them have been
[00:22:39] taken into preventive custody, which is a legal
[00:22:43] course available under the constitution and the laws, and those who would
[00:22:47] be wanted in criminal cases, they would be dealt with
[00:22:50] accordingly, and the rest would be sent home, and if we arrest someone, we will declare
[00:22:54] it. We have nothing to hide, so we will definitely
[00:22:58] declare it. I just want to add, and you may like to report this
[00:23:01] comment: these this government, which
[00:23:04] has been suspended through a constitutional
[00:23:08] option, is responsible for the
[00:23:11] deaths of thousands of citizens of Khyber
[00:23:16] their pro-TTP, pro-TTA policies.
[00:23:20] These were people who are apologists for these
[00:23:23] terrorists, who are sympathizers, who have always been sympathizers, and
[00:23:27] let me also remind you that the policy of TTA
[00:23:30] towards women has been reflected by the KPK
[00:23:34] government with regard to women's rights, with regard to women's education. You may
[00:23:38] like to look at the statistics, how
[00:23:41] their right to livelihood and their right to
[00:23:45] education. Just one example, for your
[00:23:48] consumption, for all of you.
[00:23:51] Underage marriage laws have been enacted
[00:23:55] by three provinces of
[00:23:57] Pakistan, because it is a very serious issue.
[00:24:01] Our very young girls are becoming mothers,
[00:24:05] and there is a lot of infertility and
[00:24:08] all that. It's the only province
[00:24:11] which remained reluctant, and I have been personally
[00:24:15] requesting them because under the international covenants, we
[00:24:18] were under obligation.
[00:24:50] The Noon League celebrates October 12th as a Black Day every year, so what are your plans for tomorrow? Will you also observe a Black Day tomorrow? Absolutely, we will observe a Black Day.
[00:24:54] We will observe it because this is the green book.
[00:24:58] I will also request you to read that
[00:25:02] proclamation and also read today's proclamation.
[00:25:05] I will explain it in simple Urdu. I will explain it in simple
[00:25:09] Urdu. My elders
[00:25:11] prepared this document with consensus, and it took months.
[00:25:15] It is the 1973 constitution, and we regard it with great
[00:25:19] sanctity, sir. We look at it.
[00:25:22] The constitution has provided many
[00:25:25] mechanisms to keep the state of Pakistan united, strong,
[00:25:29] and to protect the rights of its citizens. This
[00:25:32] emergency was imposed
[00:25:36] under a constitutional mechanism. That emergency was imposed
[00:25:39] by an army chief, and he came as a martial law administrator.
[00:25:43] So please be a little gentle. Thank you very much. Last question, Maryam Nawaz Khan.
[00:25:47] Sir, my question is that
[00:27:53] never attended funerals. On this occasion,
