[00:00:00] What was it like, even though Parliament is considered one of the leading was their stronghold? Whether it was the Punjab
[00:00:04] Assembly, the National Assembly, or the Senate.
[00:00:07] But they abandoned the entire field and
[00:00:10] then sat on the ground. They severed all
[00:00:14] public relations, relations with the media,
[00:00:17] and relations with state institutions.
[00:00:20] They saw the consequences
[00:00:24] the Arab countries, they certainly and suffered them. It's still the same.
[00:00:27] I'm surprised, I'm surprised
[00:00:31] you negotiate,
[00:00:33] better than you insist that there will be a march.
[00:00:36] We had two days of negotiations,
[00:00:39] relief regarding the performance I was there too, and we sat for almost 10 hours.
[00:00:42] All the things that were coming
[00:00:45] better than out, and I thought that terrorism
[00:00:48] and other things,
[00:00:50] concessions for bargaining. no one should have any doubt about whether any party
[00:00:53] would object or refuse to cooperate.
[00:00:57] So the main point was that regarding the march
[00:01:01] or the meeting with the Chairman, the government says that
[00:01:04] those things were settled, and not only does the government say that,
[00:01:08] their own negotiators also
[00:01:11] agree that yes, these things were settled in the negotiations.
[00:01:14] Despite that, you crucified
[00:01:18] one person, saying that you have to march.
[00:01:21] They marched, and now for two days
[00:01:24] they have been in custody, protective custody.
[00:01:28] And just imagine that the entire party, claiming to be a major party,
[00:01:31] and their leaders were saying that we will also go,
[00:01:36] and their objective he will also go, he will reach there, but no one
[00:01:38] is there. One person went into custody, and all your
[00:01:42] announcements, all your fiery speeches,
[00:01:45] are now over. So where is the chain of command of the political party?
[00:01:48] Today, their leaders were also here in Islamabad.
[00:01:52] They held a press conference. I also went to that press conference.
[00:01:56] The Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, the Leader of the Opposition
[00:02:03] in their war. And after that, I am surprised that you caused so much damage
[00:02:06] just out of this stubbornness, out of this ego,
[00:02:09] that there will be a march, they will not leave this, they will not leave that,
[00:02:13] they will not do this. Today, you
[00:02:16] are talking about negotiations, and they were saying that they
[00:02:20] are ready for negotiations, ready to cooperate in any
[00:02:25] So you know measures against terrorism, and we will undo whatever has happened.
[00:02:29] So where will they raise their voice? Where will they raise their voice?
[00:02:33] To those very institutions that you were doubting,
[00:02:36] that you were not willing to accept? You are saying that we will go to Parliament.
[00:02:40] Previously, you were not willing to talk in Parliament.
[00:02:44] Now you are willing to talk on that forum. You say we will go to the judiciary.
[00:02:47] You previously said we don't get justice, we don't
[00:02:51] trust the judiciary, we didn't get anything, we will march.
[00:02:55] Now you are still talking about going to the judiciary.
[00:02:58] So you
[00:03:02] are doing the same things, then what did you gain
[00:03:04] by losing the elected vote bank of the people?
[00:03:08] I am myself surprised by this. That's why
[00:03:12] I have some very strange decisions that they made,
[00:03:16] and there is no political reason for them. You see,
[00:03:19] Mr. Malik, that we have seen similar
[00:03:22] decisions before. When the assemblies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:03:26] and Punjab were dissolved,
[00:03:28] and why are they not coming together? we repeatedly said not to dissolve the assemblies, but they said those who were giving this
[00:03:32] to us were our enemies. They were helpless then.
[00:03:36] Now this was their last stronghold in the entire country,
[00:03:39] from where they would offer some resistance, launch some
[00:03:43] movement, do something of their own. I think
[00:03:46] now, what future do you see for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa?
[00:03:49] Mr. Najam,
[00:03:52] it is like this: there are two types of groups within PTI.
[00:03:55] One group, if you look at it,
[00:03:59] wants
[00:04:01] Gohar to be there. They want a way out. They were in contact
[00:04:05] with Mohsin Naqvi even today.
[00:04:08] They held a press conference inside which there is a faction,
[00:04:12] you can call them a mafia, who always wants
[00:04:16] tension, conflict, a movement, and
[00:04:19] bodies to fall. Some of their people
[00:04:23] are here, and some people have fled from Pakistan.
[00:04:27] Now, Sohail Afridi, who was there,
[00:04:30] knew that he was brought here to lead a movement,
[00:04:34] to attack
[00:04:37] steps in the longer run Islamabad, to do a long march. If he didn't,
[00:04:40] and he had also received a message that if you can't do it,
[00:04:43] then leave, be done with it.
[00:04:47] Sohail knew that his fate would be like Alameen's,
[00:04:50] meaning just like Alameen was discharged, he would also receive a message
[00:04:54] one day saying, 'Sir, you are relieved.'
[00:04:58] So he was also afraid of
[00:05:12] this. He also got his companions killed. Okay, Najam Sahab, Najam Sahab,
[00:05:16] I mentioned this once before, that the majority of them wanted
[00:05:20] Sohail Afridi to resign so that they could bring in someone new.
[00:05:24] You know, on the last day, when they went running to Maulana Fazlur Rehman,
[00:05:27] they took names, saying, 'Sir, give us time
[00:05:31] so we can replace this person.' And he said, 'Well,
[00:05:34] a lot of time has passed. We kept pleading
[00:05:38] with you to do something else, change the setup.'
[00:05:42] So that this tone and tenor of their conversation
[00:05:45] was very insulting. It doesn't suit a Chief Minister
[00:05:48] to use the kind of language they used about their institutions,
[00:05:52] about themselves, about our forces' personnel.
[00:05:56] So when they made their last attempt,
[00:06:00] it was not successful. That's why
[00:06:03] I'm saying this, that Sohail Afridi
[00:06:06] initially, they were like, you can look at their statements. In fact, I would say
[00:06:10] you should run them. They were saying that 'Let the governor come and show us
[00:06:14] what will happen here today.' Perhaps Khattak, Shafee
[00:06:17] Jaan, they are with you. There is Junaid's statement,
[00:06:21] Junaid Khan's. They thought they were bringing a revolution.
[00:06:25] I keep saying that no revolution is coming, no one is with them, but
[00:06:29] they, you can also say that it was not
[00:06:32] in their wildest dreams that such an action would take place.
[00:06:36] They thought that the federation was just talking to them but wouldn't
[00:06:40] do anything. When it came to a head, where soldiers are being martyred,
[00:06:44] and army soldiers are being martyred, police soldiers are being martyred,
[00:06:47] you know, Najam Sahab, the peak came
[00:06:51] in 2009.
[00:06:54] 211 of our police soldiers were martyred.
[00:06:57] This year, so far, your figure has gone
[00:07:01] above 236. So this means that in the last
[00:07:04] 20-25 years, it has peaked today. So if
[00:07:08] we are in such a situation where, as you know, I talk
[00:07:11] daily, and they often say
[00:07:15] that targeted killings are also happening of our soldiers, of our police.
[00:07:19] You know, a police officer is a traffic officer, so he
[00:07:23] is standing at the intersection. Police are patrolling. So,
[00:07:26] they are completely exposed. Soldiers are being martyred, and you
[00:07:30] are only concerned about your movement. Brother, I keep saying
[00:07:34] this: hold rallies, processions, do whatever your heart desires.
[00:07:37] Nowadays, it's the age of media.
[00:07:40] they wanted. That had a big
[00:09:42] impact on the meaning. It had an effect.
[00:09:46] But I think such
[00:09:49] will lead to better action. Mr. Bargard, you are saying that
[00:09:52] the direction is now correct. Some
[00:09:56] people are also saying that we should be prepared for a reaction.
[00:10:00] Certainly, those whose network is being broken
[00:10:03] due to this Fitna-al-Khawarij will certainly
[00:10:06] react. I would like to hear Mr. Qurban Baloch's comment
[00:10:10] on the political direction as well. Many people are saying that Governor Rule,
[00:10:13] as you said, was not a preferred decision.
[00:10:17] Despite that, do you think that at this time, the political commitment
[00:10:21] regarding peace and order is completely clear?
[00:10:44] They have caused a lot of damage to this country.
[00:10:47] Now it's time to undo it. If a step
[00:10:51] has been taken, then its results
[00:10:54] should come out, and people should get relief
[00:10:58] regarding peace and order, and I believe that
[00:11:00] the people of KPK should get
[00:11:04] of administrative matters. Eliminating corruption
[00:11:07] is very important, and I believe that
[00:11:11] now that a bitter pill has been swallowed,
[00:11:14] I believe that regarding this, whatever
[00:11:18] advisory body has been formed, or whatever monitoring
[00:11:21] body is being talked about, Prime Minister Shehbaz
[00:11:25] Sharif or the federation is talking about monitoring it,
[00:11:29] I believe that not a single moment
[00:11:32] should be wasted on this now. No politics,
[00:11:36] no issues should be touched at all.
[00:11:40] Whatever body has been formed now, it's not their job
[00:11:43] to talk about politics or engage in politics.
[00:11:47] They shouldn't do that. They have two tasks, and they should work
[00:11:51] day and night on these tasks. One is the elimination of terrorism. to
[00:12:25] mediate between America and Iran
[00:12:28] another dispute arose from it. I'm talking about the Houthis
[00:12:32] of Yemen, and I want to take you
[00:12:36] to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia,
[00:12:40] where King Khalid Airport has been repeatedly attacked by the Houthis.
[00:12:43] In the latest attack, a Pakistani was martyred,
[00:12:47] and along with that Pakistani, approximately 11
[00:12:50] other people were injured.
[00:12:54] And the sad thing is that it was not even considered
[00:12:58] that at that time, Umrah pilgrims were boarding.
[00:13:01] Two days before that, the second
[00:13:05] incident is also from there, which I will share with you, the way attacks were carried out there
[00:13:08] and the way 13 people
[00:13:12] were martyred in those attacks, and among them
[00:13:15] were a mufti from Bangladesh, as well as citizens
[00:13:19] from Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, America, and India.
[00:13:22] At this time, the situation is such that the Yemeni
[00:13:26] forces have also taken action, and there are also reports of Houthi
[00:13:30] casualties, but this issue is very concerning because
[00:13:33] Pakistanis believe that a defense agreement is one thing, but if
[00:13:37] Saudi Arabia is attacked and these attacks reach
[00:13:41] Mecca and Medina, then this is a matter of our faith. No defense
[00:13:44] agreement is needed for this. This situation
[00:13:48] with the Houthis, why is it getting worse,
[00:13:53] And along with this, the important question is how important is the mediation
[00:13:57] offer made by Iran? What happened? I will once again turn to Brigadier (Rtd) Masood
[00:14:01] Ahmed Sahab. He has a keen eye on regional matters
[00:14:05] and security matters. Masood Sahab, how do you see
[00:14:08] this situation? Uh, yes, look, I think
[00:14:11] the objectives, the way you see,
[00:14:15] the recent attacks that happened at King Khalid
[00:14:18] Airport or King Fahd Airport,
[00:14:22] you see that Riyadh is also very deep inside.
[00:15:25] are saying that Saudi Arabia cannot protect
[00:15:27] you. Since these attacks happened,
[00:15:31] it has been trying to undermine it. Then it's also
[00:15:34] doing this: there's a militia,
[00:15:38] a group. It is not
[00:15:41] confronting
[00:15:43] it.
[00:15:48] that the standing of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, you
[00:15:51] see, in Muslim countries,
[00:15:54] leaders.
[00:15:58] Saudi Arabia, and especially
[00:16:02] lead. So they want to damage the concept
[00:16:05] of Saudi Arabia in West
[00:16:08] Asia. You see, within the resentment, you see
[00:16:12] the people from the UAE who use social media,
[00:16:15] they are turning against Saudi Arabia. So now
[00:16:19] this is the objective, and then they want to gain such a position
[00:16:23] that when they sit down for talks, they can get
[00:16:28] And the response of the Saudis
[00:16:32] that we have seen and what we see
[00:16:36] is that
[00:17:07] there is infighting. So the Saudi Air Force
[00:17:11] is playing a very active role,
[00:17:13] is to strike the launching sites
[00:17:16] or their likely sites so that, firstly, they can slow them down,
[00:17:20] their stockpile is disrupted, and the frequency
[00:17:23] of missile firing decreases.
[00:17:27] So there is pressure from one side, but
[00:17:31] there is an important thing. Now the
[00:17:34] information coming in is that they also have the same concept.
[00:17:37] The concept of Iran's "tunnel of honor" was followed
[00:17:41] by Hamas, and also by Hezbollah.
[00:17:45] It is being said that in Sana'a and Sa'dah,
[00:17:49] the two cities, their capital,
[00:17:52] there are fortified underground positions
[00:17:55] where, you can say, there are stockpiles of weapons
[00:17:59] and missiles, and drones too.
[00:18:02] that if it's an underground thing, then with common weapon systems,
[00:18:06] it's not that effective.
[00:19:08] We cannot divorce ourselves from it. So that's why,
[00:19:11] you see, what is Haramain Sharifain? We are talking about a joint defense agreement in its nature.
[00:19:15] Its purpose is to safeguard
[00:19:19] Haramain Sharifain, to protect the integrity
[00:19:22] and sovereignty of Saudi Arabia.
[00:19:25] When it becomes our responsibility to defend, then we will protect
[00:19:28] their airports, we will protect them at their airports,
[00:19:32] we will go to their critical points, and within that, we will
[00:19:36] also counter.
[00:20:50] But the false narratives spread in international media and
[00:20:54] the rumors spread, we keep clarifying
[00:20:57] them simultaneously. Pakistan, as a responsible country,
[00:21:01] will play its part, and this is our commitment
[00:21:04] and our religious duty. That's all for today's program. Please allow me to take leave. We will meet again tomorrow. Until then, Allah Hafiz.
[00:21:49] Durouw.
[00:30:20] The meeting regarding the sale of small and medium-sized businesses
[00:30:23] increased the total value of the Prime Minister's loans
[00:30:26] to 2.2 trillion rupees from 1.1
[00:30:29] trillion rupees by 2028. He instructed the preparation
[00:30:33] of feasibility studies for the establishment of businesses and
[00:30:36] emphasized making them available in local languages.
[00:30:40] The focus of reforms is to empower small
[00:30:44] and medium-sized business owners.
[00:30:45] Prime Minister.
[00:30:53] Telephone contact between Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif
[00:30:57] and Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
