[00:00:00] It would be hurting his stomach, and this
[00:00:03] fire will always remain.
[00:00:24] Zardari signed the summary. Under Article 232 and 234 of the Constitution,
[00:00:28] on the proposal of the Federal Cabinet,
[00:01:06] program, and the Chief Secretary has another, and the DC, DPO, and so on we belong to
[00:01:25] took place with them.
[00:01:45] precisely because
[00:02:01] the Federal Government decided to impose an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in accordance with the Constitution.
[00:02:05] PTI did not give a positive response during the negotiations. According to the Constitution, the Governor has the power
[00:02:08] to exercise the powers of the provincial government. Incidents of terrorism
[00:02:12] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had become a routine. The provincial government of PTI
[00:02:15] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not serious about ending terrorism. News
[00:02:19] conference of Law and Justice Minister Azam Nazir Tarar. War against terrorism
[00:02:23] in negotiations with the opposition.
[00:02:27] The PTI government, instead of protecting the people,
[00:02:36] is that
[00:02:42] will handle all these things.
[00:02:54] that It is also his duty
[00:02:56] stance was put before the team sahib,
[00:03:00] had become a facilitator for terrorists. The matter had reached
[00:03:04] power-sharing between terrorists and the PTI government.
[00:03:07] The provincial government had a deep connection with terrorists.
[00:03:11] The advisory council will ensure steps for lasting and sustainable peace
[00:03:14] in the province. News conference
[00:03:18] of Information and Broadcasting Minister Attaullah Tarar.
[00:03:22] The government and its allies adopted all possible avenues,
[00:03:26] including parliamentary contacts and negotiations, with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and PTI. All efforts.
[00:04:00] Security forces made countless sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
[00:04:03] The capacity of the police and CTD will be enhanced. Zero tolerance
[00:04:07] for corruption. Transparency will be brought
[00:04:11] to education, health, justice, and other sectors in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
[00:04:14] The state will give pen and book to the youth instead of a gun.
[00:04:17] Governor Faisal Karim
[00:04:21] Kundi. A security meeting was held under the chairmanship
[00:04:25] of Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi. The overall security situation
[00:04:28] and the details of terrorist threats.
[00:05:00] People stood with it,
[00:05:02] and not with them.
[00:05:09] But now we have to see
[00:06:30] under Article 232 of the Constitution, and Article 234 of the Constitution,
[00:06:33] has imposed an emergency
[00:06:37] and Governor's Rule in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Its official
[00:06:40] notification has been issued, and under Article 245 of the Constitution,
[00:06:43] the Pakistan Armed Forces have also been deployed
[00:06:47] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in aid of civil power.
[00:06:50] Its new proclamation has also been issued.
[00:06:53] You are aware that in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:06:57] the provincial government of PTI was doing a long march. Besides that,
[00:07:00] regarding counter-terrorism, there was no alignment between them and the federal government,
[00:07:04] and a situation of conflict was arising,
[00:07:07] due to which today, under the leadership of Prime Minister of Pakistan, Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif,
[00:07:11] it was
[00:07:21] shared in which it was told that in two years, that is, from 2024 till now, terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:07:24] has seen an increase of 195%. The incidents
[00:07:28] and the martyrdoms are seeing an increase of 113%.
[00:07:31] Therefore, on this basis, the President of Pakistan
[00:07:35] was advised to impose
[00:07:38] emergency and Governor's Rule there. And now,
[00:07:42] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the provincial government
[00:07:45] has ended, has been suspended, and the provincial assembly has also been dysfunctionalized
[00:07:49] under Article 294 of the Constitution. And now the federation
[00:07:55] Besides this, an 11-member advisory council has also been formed,
[00:07:59] whose first meeting was also held today under the leadership
[00:08:02] of Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi. The names of the 11-member
[00:08:05] cabinet have also come, and it has also been told about them
[00:08:09] what their expertise is. Most of them are technocrats.
[00:08:42] which will oversee all matters related to intelligence-based operations.
[00:08:46] Obviously, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf reacted to this. Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said
[00:08:49] that he will raise his voice against it on every constitutional
[00:08:53] democratic forum, he will record his protest
[00:08:57] on it. On the other hand, now it remains to be seen
[00:09:01] that there is a big challenge for the federal government
[00:09:04] led by the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, how effective action
[00:09:07] will be taken against terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa because now the provincial government of PTI,
[00:09:11] which was being called a facilitator,
[00:10:25] Now there are two setups for 12
[00:10:28] districts and in the whole province. Emergency has been imposed in the whole province.
[00:10:31] How will things move forward? This is a very big challenge
[00:10:35] that the federation has now taken upon itself.
[00:10:56] emergency was not a good
[00:11:00] option for us, and we were not in favor of it.
[00:11:03] We thought that other means and then we left all matters
[00:11:07] to others, saying that there is bad governance, corruption, etc.
[00:11:11] We came to only one point, that is, the issue
[00:11:14] of terrorism. At least everyone
[00:11:18] should come on one page regarding this. The facts and figures
[00:11:22] you gave, how many percent it has
[00:11:26] increased, and
[00:11:30] KP. We are seeing dead bodies coming every day,
[00:11:33] and martyrdoms are happening everywhere. And what is the situation?
[00:11:37] And many districts have become no-go areas.
[00:11:40] People's businesses have also ended. There is no such thing
[00:11:43] as governance. So in these circumstances,
[00:11:47] we tried. Negotiations also
[00:11:50] You are aware of the detailed 12-hour talks. And we all came
[00:11:54] on one page. And then finally,
[00:11:58] Sohail Afridi Sahib vetoed all of them.
[00:12:02] So the real reason for our
[00:12:04] disagreement was one point:
[00:12:08] that on the issue of terrorism, be it the provincial government,
[00:12:11] the federal government, or the Pakistan Army,
[00:12:14] everyone should be on the same page. A joint statement
[00:12:18] should be issued within 72 hours that we are all united on this issue
[00:12:22] and our one point.
[00:12:50] that things had almost been settled. Last evening, he met the Prime Minister.
[00:12:55] Sir, no, yesterday
[00:12:58] I was also a part of that meeting. Okay. And Maulana
[00:13:02] Sahib came, and his team was also there, and we were also there.
[00:13:06] Yes. We had a discussion with the team sahib last night.
[00:13:10] He had very good feelings and thoughts, and Maulana Sahib is also a national leader.
[00:13:15] to play his role in such matters. Anyway, our
[00:13:21] and he went there, but things couldn't be resolved.
[00:13:25] That's a different matter.
[00:13:45] and the PTI people were claiming that such a Governor's
[00:13:49] rule would be imposed. We had no other option but to leave KP.
[00:13:53] We had to make it a no-go area,
[00:13:56] and detach it from Pakistan,
[00:14:00] or take this step
[00:14:04] so that everyone comes on one page. They thought that if this happened,
[00:14:08] then a public revolution would come, and all the people would come out
[00:14:11] and protest, etc. So the biggest
[00:14:15] achievement, and the public's support, which we
[00:14:19] talked about here, and people liked it,
[00:14:23] despite so much PTI, you can see the whole of KP today.
[00:14:26] I have been monitoring since I left the PM
[00:14:30] House, I am taking facts and figures from every district.
[00:14:34] In no district did anyone come out,
[00:14:37] nor did anyone raise slogans in their support, nor did anyone
[00:14:41] condemn this action. Rather, all the people
[00:14:45] are distributing sweets and celebrating.
[00:14:49] It's a festive atmosphere. Wherever they go, people
[00:14:52] have come out. This is a very good work.
[00:14:56] They are celebrating the day of liberation. Okay, the first achievement
[00:15:00] was that public support is important in everything.
[00:15:04] That should happen. And today
[00:15:07] we had two things: what would happen on the first day
[00:15:10] after its imposition, what would be the public's reaction,
[00:15:14] how much reaction would come, how many emotional people
[00:15:17] would come out. God forbid, that there shouldn't be major incidents like that. So on the first day,
[00:15:21] it was a complete success.
[00:15:27] The protesters and their other issues
[00:15:30] were set aside, and the public supported
[00:15:34] it.
[00:16:07] is peace and tranquility. So we expect
[00:16:11] that earlier this task was impossible because
[00:16:15] if the provincial government, federal government,
[00:16:18] and Pakistan Army, who are also major stakeholders,
[00:16:22] are not on the same page and do not agree,
[00:16:26] then this work will not happen. Whatever our will, whatever our spirit,
[00:16:29] now these situations will change. Everyone will be on the same page,
[00:16:33] will speak with one voice, and no message
[00:16:37] will go out that there will be a message
[00:16:40] from there that the IG has his own
[00:16:44] have a third program. The political
[00:16:48] stakeholders, their ministers have their own program. So everyone
[00:16:51] agreed on one thing. Okay. So when everyone is on the same page,
[00:16:55] then, God willing, you will see changes
[00:16:59] very soon, and you will also see improvement, and from here, the Prime Minister
[00:17:02] Sahib himself will monitor it. Okay, he will
[00:17:06] look at it. On a daily basis, he has also formed a committee
[00:17:09] for monitoring that you also look at it
[00:17:13] and give a daily report, and he will also look at it himself.
[00:17:16] Whatever improvement can be made in it, God willing, we will bring it.
[00:17:20] Everyone being on the same page,
[00:17:34] it comes in two months and the situation changes, then what about the other?
[00:18:03] everyone will be on the same page. This will also bring ownership
[00:18:07] and consistency to the campaign against terrorism, and it will be successful,
[00:18:10] because you yourself belong to Waziristan, and it is included in those 12 districts.
[00:18:14] Do you think this strategy will yield results?
[00:18:17] See,
[00:18:31] this Governor's Rule, Article 232 and
[00:18:35] 234,
[00:19:07] has nothing to do with this.
[00:19:11] It has to do with this: if I tell you their first
[00:19:14] demand, they want peace. I mean, if I go out of the house,
[00:19:18] my family will say, "Will he come back home alive tonight or not?"
[00:19:22] It was just yesterday, DG
[00:19:26] Election Commission Shamsad
[00:19:28] Sahib Mehsud, from South Waziristan, went
[00:19:32] for his brother's funeral. After carrying his funeral,
[00:19:36] he was targeted, and he became a martyr.
[00:19:39] Yes, exactly. This was yesterday's incident.
[00:19:43] So, incidents like these involving forces, police,
[00:19:47] and civilians are happening daily, as you know. They are not stopping.
[00:19:50] Now,
[00:19:53] this decision was made on the basis that the Federation
[00:19:56] has decided that we will bring peace there,
[00:19:59] as Amir Maqam also says.
[00:20:02] ہیں
[00:20:04] We will have to see in the coming days that the council
[00:20:08] that was formed, and the Governor's Rule that was imposed there,
[00:20:12] after that, things will move
[00:20:14] in that direction, because this will require working on a war footing. Under Article
[00:20:18] 245, the army has also arrived.
[00:20:22] So, look, it was there before too,
[00:20:24] but the army has been coming for quite some time now.
[00:20:28] Intelligence-based operations are happening, and maybe
[00:20:31] a big operation will happen now. I don't think
[00:20:35] that this rumor is circulating
[00:20:38] that there will be big operations unnecessarily. Such talks are going on,
[00:20:42] but I don't think there will be any such
[00:20:45] operation. But when
[00:20:49] these things start getting implemented,
[00:20:52] then people will know
[00:20:55] that, brother, my life and property are protected.
[00:20:59] What the constitution says, the same constitution
[00:21:02] which has 332, 232,
[00:21:06] and 234. In the same constitution,
[00:21:10] the protection of my and your lives, you belong to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, I also belong to it,
[00:21:13] and the lives of all Pakistanis,
[00:21:17] is the responsibility of the state.
[00:21:50] This is a difficult decision, although it is within the constitution, not beyond the constitution, but
[00:21:54] it is not a very popular action.
[00:22:03] This is absolutely an undesirable thing, because after all,
[00:22:07] people have elected a government, and their
[00:22:10] elected government to remove it through a democratic
[00:22:14] means, there are two known ways.
[00:22:17] کے لیے تو دو جو معروف۔
[00:22:32] But since it is provided for in the Constitution
[00:22:35] sometimes such a situation can arise,
[00:22:39] when without it, perhaps things cannot
[00:22:42] proceed. So that is why, despite being undesirable,
[00:22:46] sometimes it is used as a necessary evil.
[00:23:20] has been used, and the main reason for this, as I understand,
[00:23:26] Article 272 does not fix
[00:23:29] any limit for
[00:23:32] this proclamation of emergency,
[00:23:36] how long it will remain in force. So the advantage of this is to
[00:23:40] the government, and 234
[00:23:44] makes the provincial assembly dysfunctional,
[00:23:47] which does not happen in 232.
[00:24:24] This can be imposed for a maximum of six months, because as you said,
[00:24:27] the emergency under 232 is not time-bound,
[00:24:31] but Governor's Rule, I think, has to be extended every two months,
[00:24:34] and you have to get approval from the assembly.
[00:24:37] Since the provincial assembly is non-functional now,
[00:24:41] will it have to be taken from the federation, from the National Assembly and Senate?
[00:24:45] The point is that Article
[00:24:48] 232 and
[00:25:50] within that, as I mentioned earlier, the provincial assembly
[00:25:53] does not become dysfunctional. So that's why 234 was done.
[00:25:59] what changes come within these six months.
[00:26:32] will work out, but it remains to be seen how much improvement there is in the situation
[00:26:36] and whether reconciliation is possible.
[00:26:39] This is a big point raised by Dr. Farooq Adil Sahib. What political
[00:26:42] consequences do you foresee? If we look at the recent past,
[00:26:46] if I recall, Governor's Rule was imposed in Punjab in 2009,
[00:26:50] but then it was withdrawn. At that time, Nawaz Sharif
[00:26:53] also did a long march for the restoration of the judiciary. Emergency was also imposed in Balochistan.
[00:26:56] Now, this emergency and Governor's Rule has been imposed
[00:27:00] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Do you think what its political
[00:27:03] consequences could be?
[00:27:15] two very important members of the PTI's
[00:27:19] negotiating team, Allama
[00:27:22] Raja Nasir Abbas Sahib and Salman
[00:27:25] Akram Raja Sahib, both admitted where these negotiations
[00:27:29] broke down. They said that these negotiations
[00:27:44] that Sohail Afridi Sahib was announcing at various places
[00:27:48] that he is the only wall against the operation against terrorism.
[00:27:51] Okay, what was the nature of terrorism? First, we know
[00:27:54] that daily killings and massacres were happening. Just now, Ajmal Wazir Sahib
[00:27:58] told how DG
[00:28:01] ڈی جی
[00:28:32] In this situation, whether it is a provincial government or any government, its primary responsibility
[00:28:36] is to tackle things in an emergency situation,
[00:28:39] whether an emergency is declared or not, in any case.
[00:28:43] We know that for two or three months, the Chief Minister has not been
[00:28:46] to his office, and he had no connection
[00:28:50] with governance whatsoever.
[00:28:54] And during this period,
[00:28:58] the public opinion surveys that came out, and the
[00:29:01] vox pops of the public that came on television and social media,
[00:29:05] and what we found out through our sources, people started raising a hue and cry
[00:29:09] and demanding that, brother,
[00:29:13] first of all, our lives and property are not safe.
[00:29:16] Now we have neither education
[00:29:20] nor health nor water
[00:29:23] nor food. The provincial government is not fulfilling
[00:29:27] its responsibility. This plea is coming
[00:29:31] from the public.
[00:30:02] They say it is on record. So that is one point. Secondly, if, for example,
[00:30:06] as they say, "we were
[00:30:08] on the streets," PTI's argument was that
[00:30:12] we are on the streets in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. So those people who were on the streets,
[00:30:16] if they were 10,000 people, they should have turned into 1 million.
[00:30:20] Did they turn into 1 million? What
[00:30:23] was the reaction in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, in other cities of Punjab,
[00:30:26] in other provinces? We don't see any reaction
[00:30:30] except for a statement.
[00:30:34] This means that the public mentally accepted
[00:30:37] that there was a breakdown of governance there.
[00:30:41] Okay. And where there is a breakdown, the first
[00:30:44] need is to establish the writ of the government. This step,
[00:30:48] in my opinion, is undesirable, as they say,
[00:30:51] divorce is halal but not desirable. So in that way, it
[00:30:55] is undesirable, but now you tell me, you have to protect
[00:30:58] the integrity of the state.
