Pakistan has written [00:00:12] an immortal story of sacrifices in the war against terrorism. Every province [00:00:16] has to play its role in the war against terrorism. The Afghan regime should stop using its land for terrorism. [00:00:20] Afghan authorities have not fulfilled their promises on terrorism. The presence of [00:00:23] Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other terrorist groups [00:00:27] in Afghanistan is a threat [00:00:30] to peace in the region. Terrorism from Afghan soil [00:00:34] you have to repel those is not acceptable under any circumstances. Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar addressing [00:00:38] the conference on the changing landscape of counter-terrorism. [00:00:40] The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are patriots. [00:00:47] We want to eliminate terrorism and extremism from the province. [00:00:51] We will soon make Pakistan a cradle [00:00:53] that the journey of peace, of peace by eliminating terrorism. Pakistan has hosted [00:00:56] 4 million Afghans for 40 years. [00:01:00] More than 20,000 terrorists are present in Afghanistan. Afghan [00:01:08] such a series Capital Development soil is a safe haven for them. Pakistan wants to eliminate extremism and radicalism in Afghanistan. Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar addressing [00:01:11] the conference on the changing landscape of counter-terrorism. [00:01:14] Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:01:15] Faisal Karim Kundi and Federal Minister [00:01:22] Engineer Amir Maqam met in Peshawar to discuss the peace and order situation [00:01:26] and political matters in the province. PTI is engaged [00:01:34] and other things are not there, so we understand [00:02:01] open bidding. A nine-month grace period [00:02:08] cheap electricity. You are the largest [00:02:41] in spreading fake videos related to protests. An Indian citizen Ashok Swan's video [00:02:45] of the Jantar Mantar protest was declared a video of the Islamabad protest. After [00:02:49] the fake protest, there was a rally on the moon. Terrorists are safe. The police [00:02:53] and the public are helpless. The PTI government's treatment [00:02:57] of 13 years. The federal government has declared [00:03:39] And it is our commitment We pay tribute to their [00:03:41] that we will stand [00:04:00] the relief a welcome development. We are very happy with the imposition of emergency [00:04:04] by the federation. The PTI leadership did not feel the responsibility [00:04:07] of governance. The federation has saved us from PTI by imposing [00:04:11] emergency in the province. Public expression of joy. [00:04:19] I also told my Chief Secretary [00:04:24] The second Houthi attack in two days at King Khalid International Airport [00:04:28] in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. One Pakistani martyred, 11 people [00:04:32] injured, a fire broke out in a passenger hall. Earlier, 12 people were killed [00:04:35] and more than 300 injured in an attack at Riyadh [00:04:39] airport on Saturday. Houthis also attacked Dammam airport. A ballistic missile [00:04:43] fired by Houthis on Khamis Mushait [00:04:46] that we used to arrive and a drone fired towards the eastern province were destroyed in the air [00:04:50] by the Arab coalition [00:04:52] forces. [00:12:43] the lives of ordinary [00:12:45] people in the country. [00:12:48] What does the political and economic landscape [00:12:51] of the country say about the changing [00:12:55] global situation and ideologies? How fast [00:12:59] is the pace of development in Pakistan? [00:13:02] There will also be a discussion on moments of happiness. [00:13:06] Why is the capital city [00:13:09] the center of all important [00:13:13] news? [00:13:13] Historical pages [00:13:22] covered in dust. I was in contact [00:16:07] with PTI leaders until 15 o'clock last night, and I talked to them about [00:16:11] how we still have a chance to avoid this whole situation so that [00:16:15] we can somehow delay the morning's events, [00:16:19] but there was no response from that side. The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:16:21] welcome [00:16:25] the presidential promulgation and do so with the hope [00:16:30] development, and prosperity will begin in the province. [00:16:34] The water is above [00:17:07] our heads, it's time for a decision. Now it's time [00:17:11] for a decision whether the federal [00:17:15] government is going to take strict measures to restore peace and order [00:17:18] in the province. On the other hand, the IG Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has issued instructions [00:17:22] to district police officers to deal with protests and demonstrations. [00:17:26] Is a strict strategy being adopted regarding political [00:17:30] protests and long marches in the province? At the same time, [00:17:33] on one hand, we are seeing a law and order situation. [00:18:07] But before going to our other panelists, first of all, [00:18:11] we have with us senior lawyer and former Attorney General, Mr. Ashtar Ausaf. [00:18:15] Mr. Ashtar, thank you for joining us. Mr. Ashtar, we will try to know from you [00:18:18] how these two things, Governor Rule and [00:18:22] emergency, are enforced under different [00:18:26] articles, and their implementation procedure [00:18:29] is also different. How will these two go hand in hand if you [00:18:32] can explain this to our viewers. [00:18:33] Look, if this [00:21:50] situation perpetuates, [00:21:53] then it becomes [00:21:58] where the federation will bear a heavy burden. [00:22:02] Economically and politically. And [00:22:06] your entire system of federation [00:22:10] comes under considerable pressure, [00:22:13] so the timeline written in the [00:22:17] constitution for emergency [00:22:21] can be challenged [00:22:40] in courts. It can be challenged there. [00:22:43] If any provincial government wants to take [00:22:47] any remedial measures, please explain this [00:22:51] to our viewers as well. Yes, look, [00:22:54] the provincial government's locus standi will [00:22:56] not remain. It has been suspended. Yes, yes. [00:23:00] Those who are political [00:23:02] leaders can go. The question [00:23:06] is not whether it can be challenged, the question [00:23:09] is whether this challenge [00:23:12] will be successful [00:23:13] or not. [00:23:17] I said provincial government, I meant the former provincial government. [00:24:20] We are proud of all our security institutions, the army, the police. [00:24:26] sacrifices. [00:24:31] shoulder to shoulder with them. Earlier, [00:24:34] it was probable that there was no coordination [00:24:37] between our federation and the province. This time there will be no [00:24:40] gap in this. We will be on the same page. [00:24:43] And all our security agencies [00:24:47] with the federal government, or our current [00:24:50] system of provinces, we will all be on the same page. [00:24:54] There will be no such impression that we are not [00:24:58] on the same page. And as I said before, there are many [00:25:02] other issues as well, development things, but terrorism, [00:25:05] extremism is our first priority. And yesterday, [00:25:09] that whatever it is, whether it's our police [00:25:13] or our CTD, whoever it is, we have to fulfill their demands because they [00:25:17] are the first line [00:25:20] in our fighting. And whatever we provide [00:25:23] them, after that, we can sacrifice our development, [00:25:27] but we cannot sacrifice security. [00:25:31] So before, there was no synergy. [00:25:34] Now we should shoot. And after [00:25:38] that, we have to align our priorities. Earlier, there was a problem [00:25:41] of alignment as to what our priorities are. We have to align them [00:25:45] as well. And Inshallah, our team, which is here, [00:25:49] and our other teams, Inshallah, you will [00:25:52] see that we are performing. I said yesterday [00:25:56] that we have to work 24/7 if the state, the federation, [00:26:00] or our people have trusted us. [00:26:33] And whoever is ready to walk with you, fine, if not, then [00:26:36] who are not with you and proceed on a fast track. And as I said [00:26:40] earlier, peace was our priority before as well, and we should [00:26:44] now have result- oriented [00:26:47] things, not cosmetic things, where we sit for a photo session and say [00:26:50] that things are result-oriented. The results should show that we are [00:26:54] working for peace, and Inshallah, these are the things [00:26:57] that we need to focus on our work, [00:27:01] which is our job. [00:27:16] You people are also from this province, [00:27:18] and I am also from this province, but I am from such an area [00:27:22] that has been a victim of terrorism for years, Dera Ismail Khan, [00:27:26] Tank, Waziristan, we know what pain [00:27:30] people are going through. They cannot live freely, [00:27:33] they cannot travel, [00:27:36] what things are needed. We have to work for this [00:27:40] so that we can give these people a free environment. The people of our province [00:27:44] also want peace, development, and prosperity. When they go [00:27:48] to Islamabad, when they go to Punjab, when they go [00:27:52] to other provinces, Sindh, and other places, they see [00:27:55] that people are living freely, there is a good environment, [00:27:58] they are doing business. Our province is naturally [00:28:02] such that under one umbrella, we have so many things that no other province [00:28:05] has. If you talk about water, you have abundant [00:28:11] producer of oil, and you are the second [00:28:14] largest gas-producing province. You have mines, [00:28:17] you have tobacco. Meaning you have [00:28:21] the world's oldest civilization, religious tourism. [00:28:24] You have tourism. The world goes out, people will come here, [00:28:27] but all these things are linked with peace. If there is peace, [00:28:31] the world will come, invest, and do business. [00:28:35] And I believe that as long as the history [00:28:38] of this country and this province is written, your and our names will be mentioned [00:28:41] in good words that these people also came [00:28:45] and gave peace, prosperity, and history to this province. So this [00:28:49] is my thing. The rest, Inshallah, we will be there, and Inshallah, we will regularly [00:28:53] keep holding Apex Committee meetings, and we will keep giving suggestions [00:28:57] to each other. Many gaps have remained in the past, [00:29:00] and Inshallah, those gaps will not be there, and Inshallah, we will work [00:29:04] with close coordination. [00:29:10] Meeting of the Provincial Apex Committee presided over by Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:29:14] Faisal Karim Kundi and Federal Interior Minister [00:29:15] Mohsin Naqvi. [00:29:18] Speaking on the occasion, Faisal Karim Kundi said that it is our responsibility [00:29:22] to run the affairs of the province efficiently. We are on the same page for the restoration [00:29:26] of peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The capacity of law enforcement [00:29:29] agencies will be increased. Our measures against terrorism. [00:30:33] And the most difficult task was of those [00:30:37] who were fighting this war. [00:30:40] And when they looked at the back end, no one here [00:30:43] even attended the funerals. [00:30:46] And I remember [00:30:49] from Islamabad, and the people who lived [00:30:52] here did not come to those funerals. [00:30:56] So the courage of those people.
