[00:01:35] A new era of Pakistan-Russia relations began when Russian Interior
[00:01:39] Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev arrived in Pakistan
[00:01:42] for a four-day visit. Upon his arrival in Islamabad,
[00:01:46] Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry warmly
[00:01:50] welcomed the esteemed guest. The Russian Interior Minister will hold
[00:01:54] talks with Pakistani leadership on bilateral relations and mutual
[00:01:57] cooperation. This is the first
[00:02:30] time a Russian minister has visited Pakistan. Upon his arrival
[00:02:34] at GHQ, a guard of honor was presented

[00:02:42] On the instructions of Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif,
[00:02:46] Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi
[00:02:49] are coming from Afghanistan. handed over 10 newly purchased armored vehicles of
[00:02:51] Islamabad Police to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police. The armored vehicles
[00:02:55] will further enhance the effectiveness of ongoing operations
[00:02:59] against terrorism in Khyber
[00:03:15] Pakhtunkhwa. There will be no negotiations with those who speak against
[00:03:19] the state. The Apex Committee meeting discussed a plan of

[00:03:48] Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi in a
[00:03:52] We should do this in a press conference with his advisors
[00:03:53] on information and interior.
[00:03:58] On the imposition of emergency.
[00:04:04] against Pakistan and the We are very happy with the imposition of emergency by the
[00:04:08] federation. The PTI leadership had no sense of governmental
[00:04:11] responsibilities. The federation has freed us from PTI
[00:04:15] by imposing an emergency
[00:04:17] in the province. Public
[00:04:22] opinion. Fabricated and misleading claims on social
[00:04:25] media regarding insecurity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. AI-generated
[00:04:28] images, footage, and irrelevant videos are
[00:04:32] being shared with false captions. Claims of factories
[00:04:36] burning, load shedding protests, and evening videos
[00:04:40] can see that they being linked to the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Afghan
[00:04:43] and Indian accounts, along with some political handlers,
[00:04:47] are also fueling this campaign. The public should refrain from
[00:04:50] spreading social media content without verification. Fact
[00:04:54] check.
[00:04:59] Afghan Taliban.
[00:05:03] The Afghan government must fulfill its promises regarding
[00:05:07] counter-terrorism. It is the
[00:05:10] I have been saying that India responsibility of the Afghan Taliban regime to prevent
[00:05:13] the use of Afghan territory against Pakistan. Pakistan is
[00:05:16] still committed to dialogue. Pakistan will take all
[00:05:20] possible measures to protect the safety of its citizens
[00:05:23] and territorial integrity,
[00:05:25] said the Ministry of Information
[00:05:30] and Broadcasting. The solution to the Yemen crisis is not
[00:05:34] military. Iran offered to facilitate direct talks between
[00:05:37] Riyadh and Sanaa. The Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia
[00:05:40] and Iran had a telephonic conversation. Prince Faisal
[00:05:44] bin Farhan and Syed Abbas Araqchi exchanged views on
[00:05:47] the latest situation in the region and increasing tensions.
[00:05:51] The Saudi Foreign Minister also had a telephonic conversation
[00:05:54] with his British counterpart. They discussed joint efforts
[00:05:58] to address regional tensions
[00:06:00] and mitigate their security
[00:06:06] and economic impacts. Pakistan-Sri Lanka T20 series, the
[00:06:10] third and final match will be played tomorrow in Rawalpindi.
[00:07:13] Bismillah Rahman Rahim Assalam Alaikum, I am your host
[00:07:16] Humera Rana in the program Nuqta-e-Aitraz. In the first
[00:07:20] segment of our program, we will first talk about Pakistan
[00:07:24] has made more than 90,000 sacrifices against terrorism.
[00:07:27] 90,000 lives have been martyred, but the attempts of terrorism
[00:07:31] from across the border, the challenge of terrorism, still
[00:07:35] exists. Deputy Prime Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar also mentioned
[00:07:38] it in the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad. On the other
[00:07:42] hand, according to Federal Minister of Information and Broadcasting
[00:07:46] Attaullah Tarar, more than 20,000 militants and more
[00:07:49] than 6,000 TTP militants are present in Afghanistan who
[00:07:53] are carrying out such subversive activities and also have
[00:07:57] safe havens and training facilities in Afghanistan.
[00:08:00] On the other hand, if we talk about Governor Khyber
[00:08:04] Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi, the Apex Committee meeting
[00:08:07] was held today, and it was decided to continue intelligence-based
[00:08:11] operations against terrorism.
[00:09:34] The conspiracies have been exposed. If Kabul cannot
[00:09:38] control TTP, then it is active against Pakistan.
[00:09:41] The vigorous response by
[00:10:12] our armed forces has become a part of history, and
[00:10:16] obviously, at that time, May
[00:10:19] 2025, this is what
[00:10:22] has no choice but to
[00:11:55] come to the border.
[00:11:58] So this is a very regrettable aspect that we have highlighted many times before.
[00:12:02] I also keep attending, but when a state starts to
[00:12:06] make terrorism a state policy, then it requires a very big
[00:12:10] campaign and also a very big diplomatic
[00:12:12] effort. Sir, you are listening
[00:12:16] to the conversation. What would you like to say that
[00:12:19] on one hand, we feel that the Taliban wants to establish
[00:12:23] good relations with Pakistan and
[00:12:55] maintain better and good relations. And in this,
[00:12:58] Afghanistan is the country that was just mentioned, that
[00:13:02] we hosted about 4 million refugees, provided them with
[00:13:06] shelter, and gave them all kinds of social,
[00:13:09] societal, and economic benefits. Now, the
[00:13:13] tragedy is that Pakistan was the only country in
[00:13:16] the world that no one recognized, and no one
[00:13:20] was listening to Afghanistan. Pakistan not only tried
[00:13:24] to get its legitimacy recognized
[00:13:51] by the world. This is a strange
[00:14:07] scene that has emerged there. They are saying that I am
[00:14:10] surprised that instead of thinking about the security of their
[00:14:14] own country and the welfare and prosperity of their people,
[00:14:18] they have embarked on a path that is leading
[00:14:22] them to destruction, not to safety. Because the
[00:14:26] resistance they have put up
[00:14:29] hostile policy they have adopted, Afghanistan will gain
[00:14:33] nothing. Yesterday, they were using the land of Afghanistan,
[00:14:37] its people, and its authorities for their own
[00:14:40] purposes in New Delhi. They are digging a pit for
[00:14:44] their own destruction. So, we are seeing that it
[00:14:47] was just being talked about that they have created
[00:14:51] safe havens and are also providing them with all
[00:15:37] kinds of material and military aid. So, come
[00:15:41] to whatever level you want to come, but these centers
[00:15:45] of subversion and these people who are sitting there
[00:15:48] with a firm intention to hunt Pakistan, suppress them,
[00:15:51] bring them to justice, stop their activities, which
[00:15:55] they have not been able to do yet. These are
[00:15:59] conspiracies to destabilize Pakistan, which they have
[00:16:03] been doing so far. Mansour Sahab, when Pakistan's concerns regarding terrorist hideouts
[00:16:37] and training centers have come to light, the Deputy
[00:16:41] Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Federal Minister of Information
[00:16:44] Atta Tarar have again highlighted all those facts.
[00:16:48] These are known facts, and the world accepts
[00:16:51] them that terrorism is increasing in Pakistan due to
[00:16:55] Afghanistan, and this process is continuous in Balochistan
[00:16:59] and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Pakistan is facing this
[00:17:03] hybrid war of India. The most important proof
[00:17:06] of this is Kulbhushan
[00:18:07] Jadhav. They are forming and coming, they were eliminated
[00:18:11] at the border. Then in Pakistan, if we talk about only
[00:18:14] 2026, more than 250 Afghan citizens
[00:18:17] who came here for attacks have been killed, and their
[00:18:21] identity has also been revealed, showing that they
[00:18:26] So all these facts are present, but it's
[00:18:29] your point that they have now stood in an
[00:18:33] anti-Pakistan bloc and are engaged in enmity with Pakistan.
[00:18:36] So, the diplomatic level has failed. Look,
[00:18:40] there have been eight meetings of the Moscow format.
[00:18:43] This is also discussed there. China's efforts
[00:18:46] are included, and the efforts of friendly countries
[00:18:49] are included. Pakistan has indeed tried to move
[00:18:53] forward through dialogue in all those channels, but
[00:18:56] those things have not proved to be fruitful because of
[00:19:00] the stubbornness of the Afghan Taliban regime. That's right,
[00:19:04] Khalid Sahab. Pakistan is trying very hard to
[00:19:07] establish peace and security in the region, which is
[00:19:11] basically in the interest of the entire region. If
[00:19:15] the diplomatic pressure or negotiations are not yielding
[00:19:18] the desired results, or if the negotiations are not
[00:19:21] yielding any results, then shouldn't Pakistan adopt a
[00:19:23] more effective strategy to
[00:19:26] protect its security?
[00:19:29] multi-pronged way because we tried our best at
[00:19:33] the negotiation and diplomatic level. We tried for the
[00:20:08] Doha Agreement, and we negotiated in Doha. And
[00:20:11] despite that, if it is not happening, then look,
[00:20:15] over the period of time, Pakistan's armed forces have
[00:20:19] shown India last year that our capability is very
[00:20:22] high. But we are an old good friend of
[00:20:25] 47 years. In 1979, when the Soviets occupied
[00:20:29] Afghanistan, America did not give us any compensation
[00:20:33] or financial support for two and a half years.
[00:20:36] Pakistan itself sustained them. I myself was posted
[00:20:40] in Peshawar in those days. Fighter pilots. We used
[00:20:44] to give them protection, and when Soviet planes came
[00:20:48] to destroy and attack
[00:22:20] them, they had tents, and we provided them with
[00:22:23] medical aid. We not only fed them or
[00:22:27] gave them food, but also provided them with
[00:22:31] civic facilities. Halali Sahab, if we talk about
[00:22:35] the international community, then obviously we have
[00:22:39] to keep the international community in the loop.
[00:22:41] Will the international community only accept the claims
[00:22:44] made by the Afghan Taliban, or will it
[00:22:47] also demand verifiable guarantees
[00:22:50] to stop the terrorism against Pakistan? Now, thank
[00:22:53] you for raising this important question. And
[00:22:57] for this, I would say that Pakistan is very
[00:23:01] successful in the field of diplomacy. It has
[00:23:04] kept the entire world community, which you can
[00:23:08] call the international community, on board. Just about
[00:23:11] a week ago, the European Union officially
[00:23:14] passed a resolution in Brussels, in which it
[00:23:17] said that we appeal to the government of
[00:24:20] Afghanistan, and specifically named the Taliban government,
[00:24:23] to improve relations with
[00:24:27] issues. Similarly, the State Department is very clear.
[00:24:31] In fact, you might be surprised that Mr. G.
[00:24:35] D. Wynns of Italy, without naming Pakistan,
[00:24:38] mentioned Afghanistan and said that a country is using
[00:24:41] terrorism as a very big weapon, and wherever
[00:24:45] it is doing so, it is doing wrong and
[00:24:49] should take care of
[00:25:20] itself. So, these efforts are, in my opinion, a
[00:25:24] result of Pakistan's foreign policy and diplomacy, in
[00:25:27] which we see that the whole world is aware
[00:25:31] and knows well from where terrorism is happening,
[00:25:35] how it is happening, and also keep in mind
[00:25:39] that Shahab Akhbar is published in Persian.
[00:25:42] It was also providing on the basics. It is still
[00:25:46] the need of the hour that the Afghan Taliban,
[00:25:50] instead of playing in the hands of New Delhi
[00:25:54] and the Taliban, should talk directly with Pakistan
[00:25:57] and cooperate with Pakistan. They should close the
[00:26:01] safe havens and sanctuaries they have established. Pakistan
[00:26:05] is ready to provide all kinds of help
[00:26:08] in this matter. It will also do it
[00:26:12] intelligently, and it will also do it
[00:26:15] capital to capital. The government is ready to
[00:26:19] give them everything at the government level, but
[00:26:22] they should come to this point. Violence is
[00:26:26] not the solution to problems. Prosperity comes from
[00:26:29] peace and security, not from violence. It is
[00:26:33] not a solution to any problem. And if
[00:26:36] we talk about the diplomatic front, Ahmed, if Afghan
[00:26:39] territory, as Pakistan has repeatedly emphasized, should
[00:26:42] not be used for terrorism, but if Afghan
[00:26:46] territory continues to be used against Pakistan,
[00:26:49] then will the Taliban regime not increase the
[00:26:53] risks of regional isolation or diplomatic pressure for
[00:26:56] itself in the coming days? Look, the Afghan
[00:27:00] Taliban regime, as Chisti
[00:27:03] Sahab said, the benefits they are getting from
[00:27:07] opposing Pakistan, because of that, they don't
[00:27:11] care about their Afghan people and the future
[00:27:14] of Afghanistan. And in this, you can see that
[00:27:18] their loss, their border is closed, so
[00:27:22] it is more the loss of the Afghan people
[00:27:25] than Pakistan. Their needs have ended. So, they
[00:27:28] need to understand these things, and there have
[00:28:32] been great efforts to make them understand at
[00:28:35] every level, but anyway, their intentions and objectives,
[00:28:38] their war economy, and now they are running the
[00:28:42] country by making terrorism a weapon, and there
[00:28:45] are 20 such organizations in the world that
[00:28:49] operate in various countries or for non-state actors,
[00:28:53] this is heaven, and this situation is very
[00:28:56] serious, and Pakistan's stance is very simple
[00:29:00] that Afghanistan and the
[00:30:32] people of Afghanistan are very respected by Pakistan.
[00:30:35] The problem right now is with the Afghan
[00:30:39] Taliban regime, and you
[00:30:42] themselves are weakening. The resistance movements
[00:30:46] in various areas are gaining momentum so quickly,
[00:30:49] and in this, the Afghan Taliban regime is
[00:30:52] facing active resistance. We are seeing that Afghanistan
[00:30:56] is carrying out such heinous activities in Pakistan
