The armored vehicles [00:02:21] have been provided to further strengthen and make more effective the ongoing operations against terrorism [00:02:24] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The war against terrorism [00:02:28] is ours. [00:03:00] Announcement: ensuring the return of illegal Afghan residents. Governor Khyber [00:03:04] Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi held a news conference in Peshawar [00:03:07] with advisors for information and interior. [00:03:08] Day of Liberation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:03:14] on the imposition of emergency. Public welcomes the federal government's decision. [00:03:18] Very happy with the imposition of emergency by the federation. [00:03:22] PTI leadership had no sense of governmental responsibilities. [00:03:25] The federation imposed emergency in the province and freed us from PTI. [00:03:29] Public opinion. [00:03:34] Fabricated and misleading claims on social media regarding unrest [00:03:38] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. AI-generated images, old footage, [00:03:41] and unrelated videos are being shared with false captions. [00:03:45] Videos of factory fires, load shedding demonstrations, and evening [00:03:47] where we are saying scenes are being claimed to be related to the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [00:03:50] Some political handles, including Afghan and Indian accounts, [00:03:53] are also fueling this campaign. [00:03:57] The public is urged to refrain from spreading social media content without verification. [00:04:30] The solution to the Yemen crisis is not military.

Discussion on joint efforts [00:04:52] Assembly, the Prime Minister, to deal with regional tensions and reduce their security and economic impacts. [00:04:55] The fun part is that [00:06:12] Sohail Afridi, who went to free his founder chairman, [00:06:16] is now himself inside. Those who used to hurl abuses [00:06:20] at every turn, make big claims, and threaten to bring a sea of people [00:06:24] onto the streets, are now hiding their faces [00:06:27] on social media and pleading to come out, for God's sake, [00:06:31] but there is no trace of PTI anywhere. [00:06:34] All people like Shafi Jan have run away with their tails between their legs [00:06:38] and are avoiding the police. Emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:06:41] and [00:08:12] all institutions are on the same page today. If we talk about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, [00:08:16] according to PTI's claims, on the imposition of emergency [00:08:19] and Governor's Rule, no sea of people is seen protesting [00:08:23] on the streets, nor have workers gathered in any city [00:08:27] despite PTI's call. People have come out, [00:08:31] but not for protest, but to celebrate the Day of Liberation. [00:08:34] Yes. The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are happy [00:08:38] with the end of the PTI government and are welcoming the federal government's decision. [00:08:41] Khyber. [00:09:13] Assalamu Alaikum, welcome back after the break. You are watching 'Seedhi Baat' with Binish Saleem, [00:09:16] and today, joining us on 'Seedhi Baat' is Mr. Jalal Khan, [00:09:20] representing the PML-N, the government benches. Thank you very much for joining. [00:09:24] Also joining us is the very honorable Senator Zarqa Taimur Suharwardy Sahiba, who is representing [00:09:28] Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. And last but never the least, Shahida Rahmani [00:09:31] Sahiba, who is representing the Pakistan Peoples Party. [00:09:35] Senator Sahiba, I would like to start the show with you. A lot happened [00:09:38] this weekend. It must be very, very taxing and too much. [00:10:12] Far from it, Sohail Afridi, who lit the torch saying that we will achieve a lot [00:10:16] for Khan Sahab, is himself currently [00:10:19] in police custody. And it is being repeatedly requested [00:10:23] that all followers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, all the remaining people, [00:10:27] should come out, go towards KP, go towards Islamabad, just come out, but [00:10:30] no one is ready to come out. What happened? Please explain this situation [00:10:34] from your end. What is this? Where is your [00:10:37] revolution? Where is that enthusiasm? Where is that zeal? [00:10:40] What happened? Thank you very much, [00:10:43] Beenish. See, the thing is [00:10:47] that people are with Pakistan, [00:10:51] and they see that at this time, a fear and terror [00:10:55] is being spread. Since Shahbaz Sharif came [00:10:58] in 2022, since then, people are being intimidated [00:11:02] and told that whatever your [00:11:05] views are, people don't necessarily [00:11:09] have to come out on the streets. You saw that [00:11:13] when elections were held in 2024, all those people [00:11:16] who have the same thoughts that you and I understand, [00:11:20] that there is sympathy for PTI, a belief that PTI [00:11:24] has been cornered without any reason, [00:11:28] and the government that came also did not deliver. [00:11:31] At this time, look at the inflation, [00:11:35] the price of oil, despite the fact that we are such big [00:11:39] successful mediators in the world for bringing peace. [00:11:42] So in these circumstances, look, I cannot fool the common man, [00:11:46] nor can you, no one can, because the common man [00:11:50] who pays his daily expenses from his hard-earned money, [00:11:53] who pays electricity bills that come at an exorbitant [00:11:57] level, who puts petrol in his motorcycle [00:12:00] or car for his children's school, [00:12:04] his expenses are not being met. The common man has not benefited [00:12:08] from the arrival of this government and the regime change. [00:12:11] So the common man has a deep resentment [00:12:15] in his heart, [00:12:18] for the common man to come out and further put himself [00:12:21] under more pressure. So you [00:12:55] The public sees what is happening. Let me tell you something interesting. [00:12:58] I sit with all kinds of people. So when I talk to them, [00:13:02] now, since we are in politics, and there is pressure [00:13:06] and difficulty on PTI at this time, all kinds of problems, [00:13:09] I don't talk much, I listen to people's words more. [00:13:13] There is anger in people's hearts. People's expectations [00:13:17] from the government have not been met. [00:13:20] What happened with Tehreek-e-Insaf yesterday, the emergency [00:13:24] that was imposed, I agree with you [00:13:27] that many mistakes were made from our side, [00:13:30] whatever our narrative was, [00:13:33] or whatever was being perceived, [00:13:36] those were mistakes. There must have been some mistakes [00:13:39] that led [00:13:41] to this result. Anyway, see, [00:13:45] if we talk about the public, political parties [00:13:49] keep going. Their narrative [00:13:51] also continues. But you talk about [00:13:55] 250 million people, what do they think? [00:13:58] Now you see, if emergency was imposed in KP, [00:14:01] what will be its result? Its result will be that the common man [00:14:04] living in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will face more difficulties, [00:14:08] especially in remote districts [00:14:12] that the government is saying there are terrorists and where an operation is to take place, [00:14:15] those people will not be heard there. [00:14:18] We have seen before that [00:14:22] programs to show how they are performing, because [00:14:55] an 11-member team has been given to them, [00:14:58] which is an advisory team. No doubt, if you look at the individual portfolios [00:15:02] of those 11 members, it is exceptional. But will they be able to [00:15:05] perform? How will they handle it? This is what we are going to discuss, and it will [00:15:09] be decided in the coming days. But for now, we have to digest this, right? Because [00:15:13] there are some people, Jalal Sahab, I would like to draw your attention Khan Sahab, Khan Sahab, [00:15:16] there is a small section, but it exists, you know there are some [00:15:20] people who have a difference of opinion, and that's a good thing. I believe that Governor's [00:15:24] Rule [00:15:30] that if there are some dissenting voices or opposing voices, [00:15:34] they should be allowed to speak. So the opposing voices are there, they are saying [00:15:38] that it was very wrong that Governor's Rule was imposed, why was emergency [00:15:41] imposed? But Khan Sahab, the situation has been such [00:15:44] that the Governor's report, the way they have been repeatedly told, [00:15:48] the situation of law and order in KP, the national security situation, [00:15:52] it is so disastrous that if you look at those reports, [00:15:56] if you look at those figures, if you look at the situation, [00:15:58] can it even be said or that narrative that, [00:16:02] why was Governor's Rule imposed? It shouldn't have been imposed. I mean, who would say [00:16:06] that it shouldn't have been imposed? [00:16:07] Yes, [00:16:10] Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim. First of all, thank you. [00:16:13] Look, no [00:16:16] political worker would agree to impose [00:16:19] Governor's Rule or emergency. No one agrees [00:16:22] that such an aggressive step [00:16:26] in any province or country. [00:16:30] But unfortunately, the law and order situation [00:16:33] in our Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had deteriorated to such an extent [00:16:36] that people were martyred in broad daylight, [00:16:40] people were abducted, and despite that, [00:16:43] I often get this question: [00:16:47] But you cannot compare Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. [00:16:51] The situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is bad, law and order, [00:16:55] but the government sitting there is actively [00:16:58] advocating for the terrorist nexus. [00:17:02] In Balochistan, their government is standing with the federation, [00:17:06] and according to the National Action Plan, operations are going on there, [00:17:08] a whole system is running. But in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, [00:17:12] it's the opposite. The people there, [00:17:15] the government there, was against it, [00:17:19] meaning it was completely opposite to the federal government. [00:17:23] So the situation reached such a critical point [00:17:27] that ultimately, the federation had to [00:17:30] take an aggressive step, and Articles 232 [00:17:33] and 234 of the Constitution had to be imposed. [00:17:38] I think I hold Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf [00:17:41] fully responsible for this, that they raised the temperature [00:17:45] to such an extent that it became a matter of ego, [00:17:48] and they created an atmosphere of war against the federation, [00:17:52] with guns raised. [00:17:56] if this is the condition of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and this Governor's Rule [00:17:59] or emergency that has been imposed, [00:18:02] no one is happy about it. If you ask my personal opinion, [00:18:06] I was very much against it myself. But the federation told me only one thing: [00:18:09] how long can we? We will be on the path of progress, [00:18:13] and its journey of development has begun. Thank you very much, Benish. [00:18:17] Look, whatever happened in KP, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, [00:18:19] Articles 232A and 234A of the Constitution, [00:18:23] which are enshrined in the Constitution, were used at a time when [00:18:26] the situation of the province was not [00:18:30] under control, and the incidents of terrorism were such [00:18:34] that for a long time, our law enforcement personnel were being martyred [00:19:37] there, and the people there were being martyred, but the government, instead of paying attention to it, [00:19:40] the government at that time [00:19:44] took all its government resources and attacked the federation, [00:19:47] prepared to attack the federation, and this has already happened. [00:19:51] You will remember what happened on November 26-27 [00:19:55] and before that, incidents like May 9 happened. [00:19:58] So in this way, a Chief Minister whose It is a matter of extreme concern [00:20:02] and he was repeatedly explained, and this should have been imposed a long time ago, [00:20:05] but you see how the People's Party tried [00:20:09] to initiate a process of dialogue and resolve this issue through dialogue [00:20:13] and understanding. But you saw that whenever [00:20:17] PTI was invited for talks, PTI adopted an approach [00:20:21] that always sabotages negotiations. [00:20:25] This is not the first time this has happened. Always, whether it was the Speaker National [00:20:30] or Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Sahab, or President Asif Ali Zardari [00:20:33] Sahab, all of them, whether PTI was in government or in opposition, we said [00:20:50] that matters should be settled in Parliament [00:20:53] and resolved through dialogue. But PTI [00:20:57] never gave importance to dialogue. [00:21:01] They always adopted paths that are against [00:21:05] the Constitution and the law and the security of Pakistan. [00:21:08] And that is why it was compulsively done. [00:21:12] That is an undesirable act, just as [00:21:15] we see that divorce in religion is an undesirable act, [00:21:18] but it happens out of compulsion. Similarly, this is an article of the Constitution [00:21:22] where when Pakistan, [00:21:25] when a province of Pakistan faces such threats, [00:21:29] then such actions are enshrined in the Constitution, and they are taken. [00:21:32] So there is no joy in this that the People's Party has a governor there, [00:21:35] so we did this. This is our country, [00:21:38] the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, [00:21:42] where the democratic process, the parliamentary system, [00:21:45] you saw that the Prime Minister first called a cabinet meeting, [00:21:49] and after the cabinet's approval, the summary goes to the President [00:21:53] of Pakistan, and his job is to sign the Prime Minister's advice. [00:21:56] So it was done out of compulsion to control the situation in the province, [00:22:00] and with the strong hope that the federation and the province [00:22:04] will together play their full role in eradicating terrorism from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [00:22:08] The entire team will work with hard work [00:22:11] to bring KP towards development, and the situation in KP will be improved. [00:22:15] That's very good, all of this is fine, but you people [00:22:18] are realizing, aren't you, that now [00:22:20] this setup that has been created in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:22:24] will also be under pressure to definitely perform [00:22:27] and not let the conditions that existed during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf [00:22:31] government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remain. [00:22:34] Isn't that right, Shahida Sahiba? Yes, absolutely. [00:22:40] And absolutely. was kept in jail, [00:22:44] along with him, many senior leaders of our party are also [00:22:48] in jail, Shah Mahmood [00:22:52] Sahiba, and many other leaders, and some people [00:22:55] who We cannot say this with clarity [00:22:59] because, look, there is also an external element, [00:23:03] because this 'come out' you see on social media, [00:23:07] right? And who are those people on social media? I have studied [00:23:10] this quite a bit. 99% of those who incite [00:23:14] are fake accounts, [00:23:18] ایسا ہی ہے اور بالکل [00:25:50] and they are fake accounts, they are bots, [00:25:54] and who is driving them? There are also people among them [00:25:56] who want to destabilize Pakistan. Now, look, all of us who [00:26:00] are in Pakistan, we are Tehreek-e-Insaf [00:26:32] and the leadership of PTI, we are Pakistanis, [00:26:36] we live in Pakistan, we want to see Pakistan progress, [00:26:40] we want to ensure Khan Sahab gets his rightful [00:26:44] place, and we want to take the country [00:26:47] on the right path. But outside, especially [00:26:51] outside the country, there are elements that definitely [00:26:54] want to destabilize Pakistan. And when you, [00:26:57] you don't know who is a double agent, who is a triple agent. All this [00:27:01] happens in the world of politics. So [00:27:05] now I cannot say who picked up whom and for what reason, [00:27:09] but all this is part of the game. [00:27:12] If anyone met Khan Sahab at this time, for that matter, [00:27:15] or if Khan Sahab came to know in jail that [00:27:19] this is what Sohail Afridi has done, that instead of getting something for you, [00:27:22] he lost everything that was there. If Khan Sahab, [00:27:26] somehow, must have found out. Television channels do come to jail. [00:27:30] Okay. we have [00:27:33] with us. Jalal Khan Sahab, is this the same view? [00:27:37] First, address this, the notion of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, meaning that [00:27:41] the biggest beneficiary [00:27:45] in this entire setup turned out to be the Pakistan Peoples Party, [00:27:49] that they have control in three places. [00:27:53] They have the command. [00:27:57] See, absolutely, there is no doubt [00:28:00] that the Pakistan Peoples Party [00:30:03] is a beneficiary in this, but it's not [00:30:06] or who isn't. Not just the People's Party, every government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:30:09] is acceptable to the people now. But today, they don't need [00:30:13] bread, they don't need clothes, they don't need a house, [00:30:17] they only need one thing. [00:30:18] दे [00:30:22] हैव द कमांड देखिए जी बिल्कुल इसमें तो कोई शक नहीं [00:30:25] है पाकिस्तान पीपल पार्टी [00:30:28] तो बेनिफिशरी इसमें है लेकिन इट्स नॉट ' [00:30:42] یا کون نہیں ہے ہمیں جو ہے پیپل پارٹی ہی نہیں ہر ایک خیبر پختون خواہ میں جو ہے ہر ایک گورنمنٹ لوگوں کو ابھی قابل قبول ہے [00:30:45] لیکن ان کو اج نہ روٹی چاہیے نہ کپڑا چاہیے [00:30:49] نہ مکان چاہیے صرف اور صرف ایک چیز.
