[00:08:18] Hello viewers, you are watching Pakistan Television News. I am Rizwan Ali Ahmed.

[00:12:15] Punjab Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb said that the imposition
[00:12:18] of Governor's Rule and Emergency is a constitutional authority, which
[00:12:22] the people trapped by terrorists and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa demand.
[00:12:55] Under the scheme, the collection of the second installment of dues from Haj pilgrims through a digital portal
[00:12:59] is underway. So far, 51,500 pilgrims
[00:13:02] have completed the payment of the second installment. The online payment ratio through the Haj portal
[00:13:06] remained 55%. The final date for the second installment
[00:13:09] of Haj dues under the government scheme is October 20.
[00:13:13] It is mandatory to upload the medical fitness certificate on the Haj portal before the second installment.
[00:13:17] In case of non-payment of the second installment, the application
[00:13:20] will be canceled and the deposited amount will be refunded.
[00:18:37] Where will this go? We will also discuss that Governor's Rule and Emergency
[00:18:41] have finally been imposed in KP. We all know the reasons
[00:18:44] for this, but we will discuss them in a little detail, and we will also talk about
[00:18:48] what will happen next. To discuss these two issues, we have with us in the Lahore studio
[00:18:52] Mr. Khalid Farooqi, Mr. Ahmed Walid, Mr. Khalid Hakeem Chui. All three are senior
[00:18:56] journalists and analysts. Mr. Khalid Farooqi, let's first talk about the Middle
[00:18:59] East. This matter started when Iran was attacked
[00:19:03] by America and Israel. After that, the matter escalated.
[00:19:07] And now the situation is that the Houthi rebels are attacking Saudi Arabia
[00:19:11] and the attacks that are being reported today
[00:19:15] are said to be the biggest attack so far. Sir, where
[00:19:19] has this matter gone? Look,
[00:19:22] I think Saudi Arabia is being targeted under a conspiracy.
[00:19:26] And who are the powers behind it?
[00:19:29] I feel that it's not just the Houthis,
[00:19:33] but there is an Israeli
[00:19:36] in America and wherever it has to target
[00:19:40] in different regions of the world, and you know that the biggest pressure
[00:19:44] on Saudi Arabia at that time was to accept the Abraham Accords.
[00:19:47] Saudi Arabia did not accept it because Saudi Arabia's
[00:19:51] stance on this was very principled that they would not make
[00:19:55] any such agreement until a Palestinian state
[00:19:58] is established. This is also Pakistan's stance
[00:20:02] that we will never establish any kind of relations with Israel
[00:20:05] until the Palestinian people get their state. Now, what is the role of America and other countries
[00:20:09] in this, we all know. But this attack, as it started
[00:20:13] from the Houthis, the direction of the war was somewhere else,
[00:20:17] and suddenly it turned and now in this whole region, you see
[00:20:21] that this war seems to have become a war against Saudi Arabia. Yes, yes.
[00:20:25] And in this, international trading and the entire oil
[00:20:28] industry have been targeted. But I believe that it's not just the Houthis,
[00:20:32] there are other powers as well, other countries as well. Sometimes in this
[00:20:36] there are two Muslim countries
[00:20:55] that were fighting with each other, and Iran was also supporting them there, and they were also being supported
[00:20:59] by the UAE there. The real problem of Saudi Arabia
[00:21:02] is that it is a contiguous area, and secondly,
[00:21:05] all its trading happens from there. The Red
[00:21:09] Sea, Bab al-Mandab. Now, the Houthis
[00:21:12] have continuously attacked and violated international laws.
[00:21:17] all their installations, airports,
[00:21:21] they are obviously, how will you stop them now? Okay,
[00:21:25] they have been stopped in many places, we have stopped them, but.
[00:21:28] हमने रोके हैं, लेकिन.
[00:21:57] Thank you all for coming on such short notice. You all keep coming.
[00:22:01] Today,
[00:22:03] this is the first press conference after the imposition of Articles 232 and
[00:22:07] 234. After that, our advisory
[00:22:11] council was formed.
[00:22:13] You saw that today, along with me,
[00:22:17] our advisor for information, Ms. Sumar Bilour, and our advisor
[00:22:20] for home affairs, Mr. Kifayatullah, are with me in this press conference.
[00:22:24] And in the future, Inshallah, under
[00:22:28] the leadership of Ms. Sumar Bilour, everyone will keep you updated
[00:22:32] and hold press conferences. It was a two-day process.
[00:22:35] Yesterday, you saw that the federal government,
[00:22:38] on the proclamation of the President, the federal cabinet
[00:22:41] made a decision, and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:22:45] you saw that emergency was imposed
[00:22:51] After that, a council was formed, an advisory council
[00:22:54] of 11 members. And yesterday, as
[00:22:58] the advisory council was formed, we held the first meeting of the advisory council
[00:23:02] yesterday. On that, we had
[00:23:06] a detailed discussion and all
[00:23:09] the advisors who were assigned departments have taken charge
[00:23:12] today and are working on a war footing to get their briefings and
[00:23:16] the future plan, Inshallah, we
[00:23:19] will all share it and give the roadmap for the future.
[00:23:22] Similarly, yesterday, I also called a security
[00:23:26] meeting again, and we had a detailed discussion on that as well.
[00:23:30] And today, the Apex
[00:23:34] Committee meeting was also held here. And it was our first
[00:23:37] working day, and the purpose of calling the Apex Committee meeting on the first working
[00:23:41] day was that we have just come
[00:23:45] here, and the federal government has trusted us.
[00:23:48] To live up to that trust, our first priority
[00:23:52] is the war against terrorism. You know that our
[00:23:56] province is going through terrorism.
[00:24:00] There is nothing new to say about this. I myself came from Dera Ismail Khan,
[00:24:03] where we faced terrorism for years.
[00:24:07] Ms. Sumar Bilour's family faced it here. Many of us
[00:24:10] faced it here. But at the same time,
[00:24:13] I thank the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:24:17] who rejected the circus that was going on
[00:24:21] in the past few days. For two days,
[00:24:24] we saw the security situation. The public did not
[00:24:27] respond as such. And at the same time,
[00:24:31] they celebrated Liberation Day. Sweets were distributed in various places.
[00:24:34] And even now, their container is abandoned,
[00:24:37] with no one to claim it. The container or their truck is still standing.
[00:24:41] And we are waiting for someone to come and claim it and take it away.
[00:24:45] Otherwise, then
[00:24:49] it will definitely
[00:24:51] be taken by some other people, because until now, and I myself am waiting, because I was waiting.
[00:24:55] Through your media, I saw that many people were supposed to come here
[00:24:59] to besiege Governor House and to attack it.
[00:25:03] We had made arrangements for their hospitality, but even today, I am still
[00:25:06] waiting, but no one has jumped the wall, nor knocked
[00:25:10] on the door, nor come. So, I thank the people
[00:25:14] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for rejecting this 13-year
[00:25:17] problem. And Inshallah,
[00:25:21] we have started a new journey. The first priority
[00:25:24] of this new journey was discussed today in the Apex Committee meeting.
[00:25:28] In yesterday's meetings, it was discussed that our first priority
[00:25:32] is the war against terrorism. And
[00:25:35] we want to assure our army, our
[00:25:39] police, our FC, our security agencies,
[00:25:42] that our
[00:25:45] committee, or our government that has been formed,
[00:25:49] is standing shoulder to shoulder with you. We will fully support
[00:25:53] you. We decided yesterday in our meeting
[00:25:57] that development will be our second priority.
[00:26:00] Our first priority is to provide the resources
[00:26:04] that our police, our CTD need.
[00:26:07] Today, I want to assure my police officers,
[00:26:11] my police jawans, my police
[00:26:15] brothers and sisters, on behalf of our government,
[00:26:17] that we are standing shoulder to shoulder with you. We will own you.
[00:26:21] We will provide you with the weapons you need,
[00:26:25] your requirements. You are fighting on the front line
[00:26:29] against the enemies, against the terrorists. We will cut everything,
[00:26:32] but we will not compromise on our police officers,
[00:26:36] young people. We will equip them well. Along with them,
[00:26:40] yesterday I issued orders to my IG and Chief Secretary
[00:26:43] that they should find out that the salary of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police
[00:26:47] will not be the lowest. If it is not the highest,
[00:26:50] it will be at least equal to them. We will Inshallah
[00:26:54] work on their behalf. We will increase the package for their martyrs.
[00:26:58] We will put our hand on the heads of the children of those martyrs.
[00:27:01] Our government will provide
[00:27:05] them with free education. We will own them. Those children are not theirs,
[00:27:09] they are our martyrs' children, and we will own them. And we
[00:27:13] hope that the expectations of our police brothers, sisters,
[00:27:16] and officers, Inshallah, we will fulfill them. We will stand shoulder to shoulder
[00:27:22] with them. Those times are gone when there was no coordination
[00:27:26] between the federal and provincial governments. Those times are gone when we used to fight
[00:27:30] with other provinces for no reason. Those things are not there.
[00:27:33] Our and the federal government's coordination will be strong. Our policies will come
[00:27:37] from Islamabad. Our policies will not come from Kabul, Jalalabad, or Kandahar.
[00:27:41] This is a clear statement. And the people
[00:27:44] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Inshallah, just as they have rejected
[00:27:48] it, our security forces, our police
[00:27:51] are standing shoulder to shoulder with them. Inshallah, the tunnel
[00:27:55] we are passing through, there is light after darkness. Darkness
[00:27:58] has passed, and Inshallah, our journey is towards light. And I
[00:28:02] also want to tell you that
[00:28:06] wars are not fought by armies, wars are fought by nations. And our nation,
[00:28:09] our people, are standing shoulder to shoulder
[00:28:13] with our army, our police, and our FC, and Inshallah, they will continue to stand. Today also, you see,
[00:28:16] from the federal government, Mr. Mohsin Naqvi
[00:28:20] came today and gave 10 APC vehicles to our police.
[00:28:23] Before that also, they used to come, but our people used to make excuses
[00:28:27] sometimes, sometimes they would not show them. And today, in the Apex
[00:28:32] before that, in my meeting with Mr. Mohsin Naqvi,
[00:28:36] he assured me and our Apex Committee
[00:28:39] that our police and our security will be given
[00:28:43] as much money as they need. Along with the province, the federal government
[00:28:47] will cover any shortfall. We will not let there be any shortage, Inshallah.
[00:28:51] Many projects that were put in cold storage,
[00:28:54] especially those of the police, whether they were police lines,
[00:28:58] police stations, police check posts, or along with
[00:29:01] that, safe cities, we will Inshallah
[00:29:04] work on them on a war footing, we will complete them, and whatever
[00:29:08] their required things are, Inshallah,
[00:29:12] we will fulfill them. And our
[00:29:15] focus, I have also told my council, that our priority, our
[00:29:19] focus is peace plus development. We
[00:29:22] have to work 24/7. We have to give hope
[00:29:26] to the people. We have to give hope
[00:29:30] to our youth. We have to
[00:29:39] that this war is no longer yours, it's our war. Our
[00:29:44] Inshallah, we will all fight that case together. Whatever
[00:29:47] your case may be, this war is no longer
[00:29:51] for a specific class, this war is now
[00:29:55] against terrorists, for the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. And Inshallah,
[00:29:59] we will fight them together. I want to give this message
[00:30:03] to our young doctors who were on strike,
[00:30:06] that you should end your strike. Inshallah, your problems
[00:30:10] will be solved. The mafia that was imposed on you
[00:30:13] will no longer be imposed. And Inshallah,
[00:30:17] we will solve their problems, Inshallah.
[00:30:23] I also want to tell the faculty of our universities
[00:30:26] that Inshallah, your strikes,
[00:30:29] your protests,
[00:30:34] will not happen now. But I also want to give this message there that those times
[00:30:38] are gone when some political group or political
[00:30:41] party or political federation used to run the university.
[00:30:45] Anyone who does not respect their faculty will face zero tolerance.
[00:30:48] They will not remain in the faculty. This is a very clear
[00:30:52] message. No matter which party they belong to. Anyone who does not respect
[00:30:55] their elders, anyone who does not respect the faculty, that will be their last
[00:30:59] day. And I.
