[00:01:48] Syed Asim Munir met with the Chief of Joint Staff of Brazil,
[00:01:52] Admiral Renato Rodrigues, and his
[00:01:55] delegation from the Federal Republic of Brazil.
[00:01:58] There will be no negotiations
[00:02:51] and 27th, and
[00:03:06] situation is such
[00:03:30] with those who speak against the state. The Apex Committee
[00:03:35] Pakistan, meeting discussed a roadmap for solving the province's problems and establishing
[00:03:37] and they can see peace and order. Eliminating terrorism, improving police
[00:03:40] and CTD, and developing health, education, and infrastructure are top priorities.
[00:03:44] Free education for children of martyrs, equalizing police salaries with other
[00:03:48] provinces, and resolving young doctors' problems were announced. The evacuation
[00:03:52] of illegal Afghan residents will be ensured. Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:03:56] Faisal Karim Kundi, along with advisors for information and interior, held a press conference in Peshawar.
[00:04:05] In Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, at King Khalid International
[00:04:09] Airport, the second Houthi attack in two days martyred one Pakistani
[00:04:13] and injured 11 people. On Saturday, 12 people were killed and more
[00:04:16] than 300 injured in an attack at Riyadh Airport. Houthis also attacked
[00:04:20] Dammam Airport. A ballistic missile fired by Houthis at Khamis Mushait

[00:04:27] by the Arab coalition.
[00:04:50] for his children's school,
[00:05:10] opposite to the federal
[00:07:42] After the imposition of the emergency, eight key PTI leaders, including
[00:07:46] Sohail Afridi, are in police custody, and sources are reporting
[00:07:50] that Sohail Afridi and company voluntarily
[00:07:53] surrendered to avoid further protests and street
[00:07:57] confrontations. Meanwhile, under the chairmanship of Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:08:00] Faisal Karim Kundi, the Apex Committee held its first meeting on the very first
[00:08:04] day, in which Federal Interior Minister Muhammad Naqvi also participated,
[00:08:07] and discussed in detail the elimination of terrorism,
[00:08:11] strengthening the capacity of security agencies, and development issues.
[00:08:43] The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are happy with the end of the
[00:08:46] PTI government and are welcoming the federal government's decision. The people
[00:08:50] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have called the release from the PTI government a welcome
[00:08:53] development. Today, in this program, we will talk
[00:08:57] about who is responsible for the end of the PTI government in the
[00:09:01] province, which was considered its stronghold, and what was the reason?
[00:09:05] What was the reason that despite claims of 90% popularity, the
[00:09:08] people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are not on the streets to protest? Sohail.
[00:09:42] international peace and security as a frontline
[00:09:45] state in combatting the menace of terrorism. We have
[00:09:49] fought terrorists in our own cities, in our own mountains,
[00:09:53] and along our
[00:09:55] frontier. Pakistan sacrificed almost
[00:09:59] 100,000 precious lives and
[00:10:02] suffered economic losses exceeding
[00:10:05] 150 billion dollars. And let me say this in all
[00:10:09] humility, the world is safer today, thanks
[00:10:12] to the valuable sacrifices of our
[00:10:15] valiant armed forces and brave civilians who
[00:10:19] took on these terrorists and mercenaries. The peace-loving
[00:10:23] world must
[00:12:55] If I were to summarize the situation, it is this:
[00:12:58] obviously, some of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's policies
[00:13:01] were wrong, they had an ego problem,
[00:13:05] you could call it stubbornness, which was definitely there,
[00:13:09] the failure of negotiations, and that
[00:13:12] stuff. But the basic thing is that when this whole
[00:13:16] long march scene happened, it was said that we are coming out to release Khan.
[00:13:20] Eventually, today, October 12th, as I am speaking
[00:13:23] to you, Khan Sahib's release is a far-fetched idea. On the contrary, he is
[00:13:56] Look, the thing is that people are with
[00:14:02] that right now, the way an attempt is being made
[00:14:06] to spread fear and panic among people since
[00:14:09] Shahbaz Sharif came in 2022,
[00:14:12] since then, people are being intimidated and told that
[00:14:16] whatever your views are,
[00:14:20] people don't necessarily come out on the streets. You saw
[00:14:24] that in 2024.
[00:14:55] In these circumstances, look, I cannot fool the common
[00:14:58] man, nor can you. No one can, because the common man who daily
[00:15:02] pays his expenses from his honest earnings,
[00:15:05] pays electricity bills, which are
[00:15:08] exorbitantly high, who puts petrol in his
[00:15:12] motorcycle or car
[00:15:15] his expenses are not being met. He has not benefited from the
[00:15:19] arrival of this government and the regime change.
[00:15:23] So the common man has a great
[00:15:27] resentment in his heart. But it is not
[00:15:30] necessary to come out and put himself under
[00:15:34] further pressure. So why would the common man come out? Because
[00:15:38] he also sees Khan Sahib, that the cases against Khan
[00:15:41] Sahib, you and I both know that
[00:15:45] if he goes to court, and Khan Sahib also says
[00:15:49] that he wants justice through the court, he does not ask for
[00:15:53] release like this. And when his cases go to court,
[00:15:56] those cases will be black and white, because
[00:16:00] the evidence there,
[00:16:03] And the same happened with previous cases. So
[00:16:07] now the public sees what is happening. Let me tell you
[00:16:11] something interesting. I sit with all kinds of people.
[00:16:14] So when I talk to them, we are in politics,
[00:16:18] and there is a lot of pressure on PTI right
[00:16:21] now, and it is difficult in every way. So
[00:16:25] I don't talk much, I listen to what people say.
[00:16:28] People have anger in their hearts.
[00:16:32] People's expectations from the government have not been met.
[00:16:35] What happened with Tehreek-e-Insaf yesterday, the emergency
[00:16:39] that was imposed, I agree with you
[00:16:43] that many mistakes were made on our part, whatever
[00:16:46] our narrative was or
[00:16:49] whatever
[00:16:52] way it was being taken, there must have been some mistakes
[00:16:55] because of which this result came. However,
[00:16:59] if we talk about the public, political parties
[00:17:02] keep going, their narrative also
[00:17:06] continues. But you are talking about
[00:17:09] 25 crore people, what will happen now? Look, if
[00:17:13] an emergency is imposed in KP, what will be its result?
[00:17:17] Its result will be that the problems of the common man
[00:17:19] living in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will increase, especially
[00:17:23] in remote districts where we are saying that the government
[00:17:27] is saying that there are terrorists and where operations are
[00:17:30] to be carried out, those people will not be heard.
[00:17:34] We have seen before that internally displaced
[00:17:49] So what is the way to rehabilitate them? The previous ones have not been done yet, now new ones will come, and who knows?
[00:17:52] This part from last year, Ms. Zarka, is very valid.
[00:17:56] I appreciate it, and because in the coming
[00:18:00] days we will be discussing exactly this - this second part you're doing now,
[00:18:04] that the governor's rule has been imposed and the emergency is there. In the coming days we have to make programs on this,
[00:18:07] how they are performing. Because they have been given an 11-member
[00:18:11] advisory team. No doubt that if you look at
[00:18:14] the individual portfolios of those 11 members, it is exceptional, but will they be able to
[00:18:18] perform? How will they handle it? This is what we are going to discuss, and it will be
[00:18:22] decided in the coming days. But right now we have to digest this, because some people, Mr. Jalal,
[00:18:26] I would like to draw your attention a little to Khan Sahib, Khan Sahib.
[00:18:29] There is still a small section, but there are people, you know, who hold different opinions,
[00:18:33] and that's a good thing. I believe that whether governor's rule is imposed, emergency is imposed, whatever happens,
[00:19:37] to take such an aggressive step
[00:19:41] in any province or country. But
[00:19:44] unfortunately, the
[00:19:47] law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had
[00:19:51] deteriorated to such an extent that people were being
[00:19:54] martyred in broad daylight, people were being picked up.
[00:19:57] And despite that, look, I often
[00:20:01] get this question: if the law and order in Khyber
[00:20:04] Pakhtunkhwa is bad, it's also bad in Balochistan.
[00:20:07] But you cannot compare Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:20:11] and Balochistan. The situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is bad,
[00:20:15] the law and order, but over there, the government that
[00:20:18] is sitting is openly
[00:20:21] representing the terrorism nexus. In Balochistan,
[00:20:25] their government is with the federation, and according
[00:20:29] to the National Action Plan, operations are underway
[00:20:32] there, a whole system is running. But in Khyber
[00:20:36] Pakhtunkhwa, it's the opposite. Over there, the people who
[00:20:40] were in government were against
[00:20:44] it, meaning they were completely
[00:20:47] government. So these situations have reached
[00:20:51] such a tense point that ultimately, the
[00:20:55] federation had to take a strong step,
[00:20:59] and Article 232 of the constitution and Article
[00:21:02] 234 of the constitution had to be imposed. In my opinion,
[00:21:06] I hold Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:21:09] fully responsible for this, that they
[00:21:12] raised the temperature to such an extent that
[00:21:16] they made it a matter of ego
[00:21:20] and created an environment of literally
[00:21:24] taking up arms and fighting the federation.
[00:21:27] So today, if this is the situation
[00:21:30] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and no one
[00:21:34] is happy with the imposition of governor's rule
[00:21:37] or emergency. If you ask my personal opinion,
[00:21:41] I myself was strongly against it, but the
[00:21:45] federation only asked me one thing: how long
[00:21:49] can we leave Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:23:20] forces personnel are being martyred, people there are being martyred, but instead
[00:23:24] of paying attention to this, the government of that time
[00:23:28] used all its official resources to attack
[00:23:31] the federation, to prepare to attack the federation, and this
[00:23:35] has happened. You will remember what happened
[00:23:37] on November 26th
[00:23:41] before that, what happened on May 9th.
[00:23:44] So in such a situation, a chief minister
[00:23:48] whose province is already a victim of lawlessness,
[00:23:51] chaos, and terrorism, where the law and order
[00:23:56] that he conspires to attack the capital with all
[00:24:00] government resources, this is a matter of extreme concern. He was warned
[00:24:04] repeatedly, and this should have happened much earlier, but you
[00:24:08] can see how the Pakistan People's Party tried to initiate negotiations,
[00:24:12] and resolve this matter through dialogue and understanding.
[00:24:16] But you saw that whenever PTI was invited
[00:24:19] for negotiations, PTI adopted a course of
[00:24:23] action that always
[00:24:26] undermines negotiations. This is not the first time
[00:24:29] this has happened. Whether it's the Speaker of the National
[00:24:33] Assembly, the Prime Minister, or Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari,
[00:24:36] or President Asif Ali Zardari, everyone, whether PTI was
[00:24:40] in government or opposition, we said that matters
[00:24:43] should be decided in Parliament, they should be resolved through
[00:24:47] dialogue. But PTI never agreed to dialogue.
[00:24:52] They always adopt paths that are against
[00:24:56] the constitution and law, and against the security of Pakistan.
[00:25:00] And that is why, reluctantly, an
[00:25:04] undesirable act, just as we see that in religion,
[00:25:08] divorce is an undesirable act, but it happens out of necessity.
[00:25:11] Similarly, this is the article of the constitution where, when
[00:25:15] such threats are faced by a province of Pakistan,
[00:25:18] then such actions are taken according to the constitution.
[00:25:50] And with this strong hope that the federation and the province
[00:25:53] will work together to play their full role in eliminating
[00:25:57] terrorism from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the entire team
[00:26:01] will work for the development of KP.
[00:26:41] But when such a situation arises, then this work has to be done,
[00:26:45] and for the betterment of the province, for which an oath is taken,
[00:26:48] loyalty to it, its work for the
[00:26:52] betterment and security of the province should be done, and it will be
[00:26:55] done, InshaAllah. All right. All right. Ms. Zarka,
[00:26:59] there is another very interesting situation. Please confirm or deny
[00:27:02] it. I don't know how well connected you people are within
[00:27:06] the party, meaning what is the internal system of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:27:10] going on, because if I talk about the KP chapter, eight other
[00:27:14] important faces of your leaders of the KP chapter, including
[00:27:17] Sohail Afridi, are in police custody. Now the news we are getting
[00:27:21] is very interesting. It is being said that they themselves surrendered
[00:27:25] to the police so that they can avoid such protests on the streets.
[00:27:28] Who is calling the shots? Who is saying that there should be more
[00:27:32] protests on the streets? And this voluntary arrest they made,
[00:27:35] because otherwise, how did it happen
[00:27:39] that PTI's claim of popularity was this, and Sohail Afridi
[00:27:43] Sahib and the entire company claimed until the last day
[00:27:46] that we are a 99% popular party? Meaning,
[00:27:50] they were arrested, and the people allowed them to be arrested.
[00:27:53] And in the first segment, you were saying that there is a lot of anger among the people,
[00:27:57] which I completely agreed with, that yes, there would be anger, and not everyone
[00:28:01] wants to come out on the streets. But what kind of anger is this that their leader,
[00:28:04] who has 99% popularity, is being arrested, and the people did nothing?
[00:28:08] So, either this is a voluntary arrest, or the people are not with you.
[00:28:11] How have you analyzed the
[00:28:13] situation? Has the party thought about this internally? Yes, thank you very much,
[00:28:17] Vinesh. Look, when a party
[00:28:20] is under pressure, and the Pakistan People's Party
[00:28:24] has also gone through this, as has the Noon League,
[00:28:28] then various factors are at play. I have been in this party
[00:28:31] for a long time,
[00:28:34] and I have seen that in the last three or four years,
[00:28:37] many spoilers have been introduced,
[00:28:41] who are the party, the mature people of the party,
[00:28:44] the experienced people, because there are very senior people
[00:28:48] in our party, decisions have
[00:28:51] been made or taken against
[00:28:55] their opinion. Many things happened, and you know
[00:28:59] that first when Khan Sahib was in jail,
[00:30:02] who is driving them?
[00:30:06] There are also people who want to destabilize
[00:30:09] Pakistan. Now, look, all of us in Pakistan,
[00:30:13] I mean, Tehreek-e-Insaf and
[00:30:17] PTI's leadership, we are Pakistanis. We
[00:30:21] live in Pakistan and want to see Pakistan progress.
[00:30:25] We want to give Khan Sahib his rightful place
[00:30:29] and lead the country on the right path. But outside, especially
