[00:00:00] She who left today became inactive. This government
[00:00:03] promoted the narrative that these are enemies,
[00:00:06] these are enemies of Pakistan, these are enemies of the people.
[00:00:10] Whoever is an enemy of peace is also an enemy of the common man.
[00:00:13] But this narrative did not run, instead it was said
[00:00:17] that drones, who knows what they do. Will they take action?
[00:00:20] Will they operate? What will they do? When people
[00:00:24] used to come out in winter every year, it was said
[00:00:28] that people are being displaced.
[00:00:30] You must remember. The Chief Minister himself
[00:00:33] used to say that we have kept four billion rupees for their resettlement,
[00:00:37] although later when news came and explanations
[00:00:41] things for their petty political came, it was found that when there is heavy snowfall,
[00:00:44] they come out every year. They were not coming out for the first time. You were also
[00:00:48] present at that press conference held by Pai Sahib, I was also there. Absolutely. I remember.
[00:00:53] for drug prevention The basic thing I want to say
[00:00:54] and protection, is that instead of calling terrorism, terrorism,
[00:00:56] a situation was created there
[00:01:00] that no, no, this is something against the people
[00:01:04] of this province, or it was said as if
[00:01:08] some police was fighting against
[00:01:12] the people, and attacks on the police started, attacks
[00:01:15] on the army started. Look,
[00:01:17] those who commit terrorism, in Bannu, in Kohat, in Dera Ismail
[00:01:20] Khan, in Tank, which checkpost
[00:01:24] is there, which police station is there where there have been
[00:01:28] no terrorist attacks? That's right. In Kohat,
[00:01:30] on Friday, you remember, one day people were offering Friday prayers,
[00:01:33] they came and crashed a car full of explosives,
[00:01:37] how many people were martyred? Instead of
[00:01:41] condemning it, terrorism, terrorists,
[00:01:44] another thing comes from there.
[00:01:46] is correct that The biggest problem that arose was the lack of good
[00:01:50] governance, which is very important in itself. For example, in Islamabad
[00:01:53] there is PIMS Hospital. Half of KP
[00:01:57] comes here. And I always say that if
[00:02:00] there were good hospitals in Mardan, Swabi, Mansehra, Abottabad,
[00:02:04] Haripur, or other adjoining
[00:02:07] districts, they would not become referrals, they would not come
[00:02:11] to PIMS. Now, the fire that broke out, or God forbid
[00:02:15] and then they were settled if another incident happens, you and I
[00:02:18] also go to PIMS, I also go. Most of the population
[00:02:22] there is from there. So good governance, then
[00:02:25] FATA merged, districts came here, in the federal district
[00:02:29] there is
[00:03:00] done, then Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's case
[00:03:03] will be seen losing. Their narrative will
[00:03:07] lose. But God forbid if it couldn't deliver, this setup
[00:03:10] can't deliver the way it could, then their narrative will be strengthened.
[00:03:14] But allow me, General Sahab has to leave, so I'll just ask him
[00:03:18] one question. I'll come back to you. General Sahab,
[00:03:21] I would like to ask you how long do you
[00:03:25] think this will stay in force?
[00:03:28] Because there are a lot of talks about
[00:03:32] how long this will be extended after six months, how long
[00:03:36] will this be implemented? What do you think?
[00:03:39] Look, it's a policy shift, it's a huge shift.
[00:03:43] Its results won't be visible immediately.
[00:03:46] In fact, unfortunately, it's my
[00:03:49] assessment that there will be a slight surge in terrorism because
[00:03:52] an attempt will be made to prove that you removed
[00:03:56] the government, so look, terrorism has increased, it will be a failure.
[00:04:15] future generations.
[00:04:46] The point is
[00:05:42] who prioritize vested political gains over state
[00:05:46] issues. When you have to choose,
[00:05:50] they do many such
[00:05:53] gains that facilitate them, and
[00:05:57] in this case too, with apologies, it had
[00:06:01] indeed become an unavoidable step to take. Taking a step
[00:06:05] had become unavoidable. But don't you think we
[00:06:08] have breathed life into Sohel Afridi's politics?
[00:08:13] No, what about the performance you mentioned regarding
[00:08:16] that advisory council? Unfortunately,
[00:08:19] even though it was election
[00:08:21] time or before that, performance was not even
[00:08:25] discussed, right? Performance was not made a criterion
[00:08:28] at all, as to who performed how much. The rhetoric here is so high,
[00:08:32] and in this rhetoric, many slogans come up, sometimes
[00:08:36] it's religion, a religious touch comes in,
[00:08:40] issues.
[00:09:16] You, I, and everyone knows that their
[00:09:19] legitimacy is that they have been nominated.
[00:09:22] Islamabad has to run it.
[00:09:26] The center has to run it. The governor
[00:09:29] sahib is sitting there in the center, but the central government,
[00:09:32] for example, the federal government and
[00:09:36] the establishment will face pressure.
[00:09:39] I am saying that the advisory committee
[00:09:43] has come forward, but a challenge has arisen
[00:09:47] there. But I will say again that in two and a half
[00:09:51] years, as General Sahib is saying, new hospitals cannot be built.
[00:09:54] New universities cannot be built in two and a half years either.
[00:09:59] that overall, for example, this oil is expensive, there is inflation
[00:10:02] for people. A person from Peshawar will be affected by this advisory
[00:10:06] council, just as he was affected during the previous government.
[00:10:10] But the difference is, the difference is, I am saying again.
[00:10:25] with the federal government shoulder to shoulder against
[00:10:28] terrorism. Unfortunately, that
[00:10:31] was not the case here. For example, the previous
[00:10:34] Chief Minister, Ali Amin Khan Gandapur, you know he used to say
[00:10:38] that we have to talk directly with Kabul. In fact, he
[00:10:42] said my passport has also been confiscated. Brother, why are you going
[00:10:46] into a domain that is not yours? The second thing
[00:10:49] is that the anti-terror policy, NPA,
[00:10:52] was made by the federal government, right? They sat down and made it.
[00:10:56] NPA 2 was made. Your government was PTI's in the center,
[00:11:00] you sat down and made it. It doesn't happen that a
[00:11:03] provincial government on an issue that is affecting
[00:11:07] the whole country, runs its own policy, and parallel
[00:11:11] to that, the federal government's policy is running.
[00:11:14] State within a state cannot happen. Brigadier Retired Farooq Hamid Sahib has also joined us.
[00:11:18] Brigadier Sahib, welcome to the program. Prakash Sahib, we are talking about
[00:11:22] the steps taken today. You obviously,
[00:11:26] what they call the last resort, those were the steps,
[00:11:29] but they had become unavoidable, as the government is saying,
[00:11:33] that the issues had reached such a point that it had become unavoidable.
[00:11:37] Having said that, at this moment, what
[00:11:40] we were just talking about, do you think
[00:11:44] that perhaps this will be a repeat telecast of
[00:11:46] 2022, as far as the politics of PTI
[00:11:50] is concerned, because for PTI, perhaps this is a blessing in
[00:11:53] disguise. At this moment, we... We have talked about this before,
[00:11:57] and many times, that the vote PTI got was based on rhetoric,
[00:12:01] not on performance. Will their popularity graph
[00:12:04] go up further? Will they come back more popular in the next
[00:12:08] election, or does all this depend on how much
[00:12:12] this setup delivers? Bismillah
[00:12:14] Rahman. Thank you very much. Look, the first thing is that I am sad
[00:12:18] that this is a very big political failure,
[00:12:22] and the big political parties, the mainstream parties,
[00:12:25] if they had shown their political vision
[00:12:28] and
[00:12:31] determination correctly, then perhaps these matters
[00:12:35] would not have reached
[00:12:36] this point.
[00:12:40] But in political parties, those who did not let this
[00:12:44] agreement happen, political dialogue also failed. Although I believe
[00:12:47] that even if they had to hold 10 rounds of talks, they should
[00:12:51] have done so for the sake of political stability in Pakistan.
[00:15:37] it is said that at that time when operations were happening, ANP
[00:15:41] was standing with the state, owning those operations. After that,
[00:15:44] look what happened to them. There was a shift in the state's policy
[00:15:48] and we suffered. ANP says, we suffered. Do you think that this
[00:15:52] time it is also very important that there should be a policy,
[00:15:56] even if the faces keep changing, but that
[00:15:59] one thing that we have been talking about
[00:16:02] for many days, that cup of tea led to our downfall,
[00:16:06] such things
[00:16:37] has come, there is no doubt about it. When they
[00:16:40] went to Balochistan and said that you
[00:16:43] can do whatever you want for 10-15
[00:16:46] years in Balochistan, you can't say anything to it.
[00:16:50] Then another thing was said that
[00:16:55] mischief, what punishment
[00:16:59] has been prescribed for those who create mischief, that was also told.
[00:17:02] And these talks about Fitnat-ul-Hind and Fitnat-ul-Khawarij, before
[00:17:06] that, look, it used to be glamorized in Muslim tradition
[00:17:09] that a Shura meeting was happening, four terrorists
[00:17:13] would sit together like thugs and say commanders have come.
[00:17:17] These are all the things that were affecting people's minds.
[00:17:20] That's why your point
[00:17:24] in the 2013 election, these very terrorists
[00:17:27] told PPP, MQM, and ANP that they cannot
[00:17:31] contest the election. But when
[00:17:34] operations took place in KP, for example, let's start. Swat
[00:17:38] operation. Swat operation took place, people
[00:17:41] were overwhelmingly with the state. At that time,
[00:17:45] they were removed. When General Kayani Sahib was in power,
[00:17:49] people had come to Islamabad
[00:17:52] back with the same respect. Zarb-e-Azb
[00:17:56] happened in North Waziristan, people
[00:17:59] were also removed there, then they went
[00:18:02] back. People remained supportive. There was an operation
[00:18:05] in Tirah. I just mentioned Tirah.
[00:18:37] Do you think they didn't get anything in terms of immediate gains, they lost more, or do you think
[00:18:57] that if this is too early to say, because if this setup doesn't deliver,
[00:19:01] in the long run it will facilitate them.
[00:19:04] No, this is true that the PTI's
[00:19:08] immediate demand or what they basically
[00:19:12] launched the long march for was
[00:19:15] Imran Khan's hospitalization and
[00:19:19] the implementation of the Islamabad High Court and Supreme Court orders
[00:19:23] and these meetings in jail, they have not achieved
[00:19:27] that. And I think they will go into minus
[00:19:30] now. I mean, they have no chance in that direction now.
[00:19:34] That's a separate matter, let's see how PTI
[00:24:20] life, but the worrying aspect is that
[00:24:23] we are rapidly heading towards a severe clean water crisis,
[00:24:26] while we waste millions of gallons
[00:24:30] of clean water daily. On
[00:24:32] the other hand, in various parts of the country, including
[00:24:36] Balochistan and interior Sindh, people have to travel miles
[00:24:40] for clean drinking water. Remember,
[00:24:42] if we don't take heed today,
[00:24:46] by 2040, Pakistan could face a dangerous
[00:24:50] situation of clean drinking water scarcity.
[00:24:53] Before we crave for every drop of water,
[00:24:57] stop wasting water and save lives
[00:25:01] from dangers. For ourselves and our
[00:25:25] To prevent dengue fever, precautions
[00:25:28] are essential. Keep your homes and offices safe
[00:25:32] from mosquitoes. Install screens on doors
[00:25:35] and windows. Cover rooftop tanks and water-filled
[00:25:39] containers. Take special precautions in the evening
[00:25:42] and morning. Wear full-sleeved clothes. Use
[00:25:46] mosquito nets and lotions to protect against mosquitoes.
[00:25:50] If you experience back pain, headache, joint pain,
[00:25:54] spots on the body, fever, or similar
[00:25:57] symptoms, consult a doctor immediately. Be
[00:26:00] careful. is not just a habit,
[00:26:32] but the mother of crimes like theft,
[00:26:36] murder, sexual assault, and human
[00:26:39] trafficking. We appeal to the youth not
[00:26:43] to sacrifice their lives and future to drugs.
[00:26:46] The Government of Pakistan has launched a nationwide campaign
[00:26:50] to eradicate drugs. Along with awareness
[00:26:57] punishments are also included.
[00:27:00] Parents and teachers.
[00:28:32] Attack!
[00:30:32] under 232 and 234, on the recommendation of the Federal Cabinet,
[00:30:36] the Prime Minister sent a summary to the President. The President signed
[00:30:40] the summary after reviewing the security situation in the province, reports from institutions,
[00:30:43] and the failure of negotiations.
[00:30:45] The use of Afghan soil for terrorism
[00:30:49] in Pakistan is unacceptable. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government
[00:30:53] became a silent spectator instead of fighting
[00:30:57] terrorism. Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
