00:00:04to have fraternal relations
00:00:05with our federation
00:00:21that is transparent
00:00:30that the provincial government cannot be run according to the constitution in the current situation
00:00:33and the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be able to perform the provincial governmental duties entrusted by the federal
00:00:37government. We will get more details from Ayaz Akbar Yusuf
00:00:41Zai. Ayaz, what are the latest updates you have? When will the notification
00:00:45be issued?
00:00:48Look, we were the first to give you this
00:00:50into their own hands, news on Geo that the federal
00:00:53cabinet
00:00:56The declaration further states approved it and after that, it was taken to the President of the country.
00:01:00Despite the fact that there was an attempt to have talks through Maulana
00:01:03Fazlur Rahman in some way,
00:01:06to inform them that before taking this extreme step,
00:01:10their opinion should be sought again. But there was no satisfactory
00:01:14response. After that, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry himself
00:01:17went to the President of the country with this summary
00:01:21and this advice, and it was signed. You have already read the declaration
00:01:25yourself, and the signed
00:01:29advice has also come before you. Now the notification will be issued
00:01:32in a while, officially granting all
00:01:36powers to the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We had told you earlier
00:01:39that the news we are getting from sources
00:01:41The constitution also has a procedure is that there will be an advisory council
00:01:44is now effective immediately with the Governor wherever
00:01:47Governor's rule is enforced.
00:01:51Technocrats will be taken into this council,
00:01:54who have expertise in various matters. Sources say that their names have been finalized, but
00:01:58they are not yet public.
00:02:29FATA and other districts, for the secretariat He was posted as Secretary in the Power Division of the Ministry of Energy. According to the notification,
00:02:33the appointment of Dr. Muhammad Fakhar Alam Irfan as Chief Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:02:37will be effective immediately. The appointment of Dr. Muhammad Fakhar Alam
00:02:41Irfan will remain until further orders. Dr. Muhammad
00:02:44Irfan belongs to the city of Mardan,
00:02:47from Mardan district. The notification of appointment by the federal government
00:02:51was issued on October 11, that is, a short while ago.
00:02:55This means that as soon as the federal government enforced the emergency,
00:02:59they appointed a new Chief Secretary.
00:03:02Dr. Fakhar Alam has been initially appointed from the Cabinet
00:03:06Division. The notification for this has just been released, stating that the new Chief
00:03:09Secretary, Dr. Muhammad Irfan
00:03:13Alam, who is from Grade 22, has been appointed
00:03:17as the new Chief Secretary here. The other notification
00:03:20regarding the formal implementation is still pending
00:03:24for a short while, but it will also come soon. However, the federal government has appointed
00:03:27a new Chief Secretary.
00:03:44For now,
00:03:51And before this, he was also serving as Secretary in the Power Division of the Federal Ministry of Energy.
00:03:55According to the notification, the appointment of Dr. Muhammad Fakhar Alam Irfan as Chief
00:03:59Secretary.
00:04:11There is no doubt
00:04:20the federal cabinet was also informed about it.
00:04:29it is written in 232
00:05:00The President has signed the summary for the imposition of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:05:03According to sources, the President has signed the summary for the imposition of emergency and
00:05:07Governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The President has issued the declaration under
00:05:11Article 232
00:05:42It was further stated that the provincial government has failed in effectively curbing
00:05:46terrorism and lawlessness. The Governor has pointed out
00:05:49the suspension of the constitutional system in the province and the inability of the provincial government
00:05:52to function. The presidential declaration has been issued under
00:05:55Article 232 and Article 234
00:05:59of the Constitution. With the imposition of emergency, it was announced that the provincial
00:06:03government cannot be run according to the Constitution in the current situation.
00:06:08that the federal government can direct the Governor of KP to take all or some provincial matters
00:06:48under his authority. Prior to this, he was Secretary in the Power Division of the Ministry of Energy,
00:06:51and his appointment as Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:06:57and will remain so until further orders. And there is a strong possibility
00:07:00that the IG Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will also be replaced.
00:07:04Sources also say that these are administrative positions
00:07:08that the federal government will try to bring
00:07:12those officers who are
00:07:15already appointed in the federation and who will then
00:07:19implement all matters of the federation in the same way.
00:07:23So the first step was the Chief Secretary. Shehab
00:07:27Shah was there before, he has been removed from his post and now a new Chief
00:07:30Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been appointed and there is a strong possibility
00:07:34that the IG Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will also be replaced. Along with this,
00:07:38for FATA and ex-
00:07:42لئے
00:07:46there is no final decision yet and there is a consultative process underway
00:07:50regarding an additional IG to be appointed in the secretariat.
00:07:54This consultative process is also ongoing. So as time passes,
00:07:58all these positions
00:08:02will be revealed. The names of the advisory council with the Governor
00:08:06will also be revealed shortly. Then for the tribal districts
00:08:09and the Area Development
00:08:13Council that will be formed, the names of those
00:08:17who will be included in it are also being finalized now.
00:08:20The lists have been prepared. So as time passes, everything
00:08:24will come to light. And now as soon as the notification is issued,
00:08:28the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will officially take charge, and in Khyber
00:08:32Pakhtunkhwa, the situation at the moment
00:08:35is that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's long march
00:08:39is currently in the Peshawar Valley. Now, how will they
00:08:42deal with them, how will they control this situation, this
00:08:46will be a further process. But right now, as soon as the notification is issued from the President's House,
00:08:49all powers will be entrusted to the Governor.
00:08:53After that, the next process will begin.
00:08:57it is that we are waiting for all that process that started
00:09:00at 9:30 AM in the federal cabinet meeting. All
00:09:04things were presented. The DG IB presented
00:09:08a detailed report. Along with the IB report, other laws were presented,
00:09:13and a briefing was given on them. All circumstances were presented,
00:09:17two years of data was presented. In all the areas
00:09:20where terrorism occurred, what kind of measures were taken by the government at that time,
00:09:24a detailed briefing was given on this. After that, the negotiation process
00:09:27that happened earlier,
00:09:32After that, when Maulana Fazlur
00:09:35Rahman came yesterday to the Prime Minister's House,
00:09:39the federal cabinet was also informed about it. Then, early in the morning at six o'clock, Maulana Sahib came again.
00:09:42Then all those things were presented. Then, during this, when this decision was made,
00:09:46some federal ministers asked why a last chance
00:09:50should not be given. From there, Ishaq Dar Sahib, who is the Deputy Prime Minister,
00:09:53made a telephone call to Maulana Fazlur Rahman Sahib and asked him if he would ask them
00:09:57if they would support the federation in the war against terrorism.
00:10:01In this regard, Maulana took time. Maulana made contacts. After that,
00:10:04this federal cabinet meeting continued,
00:10:08it was not adjourned. But when the reply came from Maulana Sahib and there was no satisfactory
00:10:12reply, then after that, this meeting
00:10:15was adjourned and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State for
00:10:19Interior Talal Chaudhry themselves took this advice and summary
00:10:23to the President of the country and after getting
00:10:25it signed, it has been officially issued.
00:10:28Now there will be a notification which will mention the appointment of the Governor
00:10:32and his powers. The Chief Secretary has been appointed.
00:10:36There is a strong possibility that the IG Khyber
00:10:40Pakhtunkhwa will also be replaced, but for now, the consultative
00:10:43process is still ongoing. Along with this, as we
00:10:47reported earlier, for the integrated FATA districts, the secretariat
00:10:51that is being established, there is also a consultative process regarding an Additional Chief Secretary and an Additional IG.
00:10:59All the areas under emergency will have administrators
00:11:03appointed, and where there is Governor's rule, there will be Deputy Commissioners. So will the Deputy Commissioners
00:11:07continue or will they be replaced? Will the District Police Officers
00:11:10continue or will they be replaced? All these things are now in the pipeline.
00:11:14The consultative process on this is still ongoing,
00:11:17and as soon as the Governor takes over, the biggest challenge for him
00:11:21will be the PTI's long march which is currently in Peshawar. How will they deal
00:11:25with it? This is also a very big challenge. So all things
00:11:29are coming to light gradually. As things come, we are also reporting
00:11:33them to you. But today, we tried to be the first to inform
00:11:37our viewers on Geo News about the proceedings of this entire process, including the approval,
00:11:40and the summary sent to the President of the country, and the signing by the President
00:11:44of the country. We tried to give this news with the utmost authentic
00:11:48responsibility because this is a sensitive matter
00:11:52and also very important. Yes, absolutely.
00:12:25Neither peace nor stability
00:12:28can be brought by creating conflict. PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar has said that there is no disagreement
00:12:32on the elimination of terrorism. But the fight against terrorism
00:12:35cannot be made a justification for suppressing public protests,
00:12:39achieving political objectives, or limiting the constitutional powers of the province.
00:12:43Terrorism can only be countered through national unity
00:12:46and a joint strategy. The federation cannot be strengthened
00:12:49by weakening the provinces. The solution to problems does not lie in force,
00:12:53confrontation, and extraordinary measures. It lies in political insight, the supremacy of the constitution,
00:12:57and meaningful negotiations and practical steps. We will raise a strong voice
00:13:01for public mandate, provincial autonomy, and the protection of constitutional and democratic rights
00:13:04at every constitutional, legal, and democratic forum.
00:13:08He said that strong provinces are the foundation of a strong federation,
00:13:12and the rule of law is the guarantee of a strong Pakistan.
00:13:15There is still time, this decision can be reversed in a few days.
00:13:19The federation should let go of ego and understand the ground realities and accept
00:13:23legitimate demands.
00:13:55We welcome the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa desire peace, stability, development,
00:13:58and prosperity. Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi said this.
00:14:02The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have decided that they will no longer support
00:14:06the mischief of the Kharijites. The people will stand shoulder to shoulder
00:14:10with their security agencies and fight against terrorists until the last breath.
00:14:13Governor KP Faisal Karim Kundi says that the people of the province
00:14:17want a peaceful and prosperous future instead of chaos and unrest.
00:14:21The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa desire fraternal relations and mutual cooperation
00:14:24with other provinces. They want to promote development
00:14:28and prosperity in the province through mutual experiences and joint efforts. The people
00:14:32want to see the promotion of democratic values and the benefits of development reaching
00:14:36the common citizen. He said that the people of KP
00:14:40are peace-loving and do not support terrorism and violent activities.
00:14:43The people should completely refrain from any kind of lawlessness, incitement,
00:14:47and riots. Strict action will be taken against
00:14:51those who disturb law and order and take the law into their own hands.
00:14:56The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's important message to the people of the province
00:15:00has come forward. The Governor has said that the people desire peace, stability, development,
00:15:04and prosperity.
00:15:11the presidential proclamation and with the hope
00:15:14that the journey of peace, development,
00:15:18and prosperity will begin in the province. The people
00:15:21of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have decided that they will no longer
00:15:25live with the mischief of the Kharijites or terrorists, but will fight
00:15:29them alongside their institutions and will fight
00:15:32shoulder to shoulder with them until the last terrorist.
00:15:36The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa also want
00:15:43and other provinces, benefit from each other's experiences,
00:15:46and bring prosperity to our province.
00:15:50The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa want peace,
00:15:53development, and prosperity. They want a scheme
00:15:59and whose benefits reach the people. The people
00:16:02of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are a peace-loving people. They never
00:16:05support terrorists. They never
00:16:09get involved in such negative things.
00:16:13Instead, they are peace-loving people, and I will also say
00:16:17to the public in the end that no one should take the law into their own hands.
00:16:20No one should get involved in riots.
00:16:24If anyone takes the law
00:16:32of Pakistan has signed the summary for the emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:16:36The President has signed the summary for the imposition of emergency and Governor's rule
00:16:39in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The President has signed the summary
00:16:43for emergency and Governor's rule under Articles 232 and 234.
00:16:47The declaration was issued by the President's House.
00:16:50According to it, the extraordinary intensity of terrorist incidents poses serious
00:16:54threats to the lives and property of the people. The President of Pakistan's
00:16:57decision to impose emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under Article 232
00:17:01announced an emergency due to the increasing incidents of terrorism
00:17:04and the serious law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:17:19The Governor has pointed out the suspension of the constitutional system in the province
00:17:23and the inability of the provincial government to function. The presidential declaration has been issued under
00:17:26Clause 1 of Article 232 and Clause 1 of Article 234
00:17:30of the Constitution. With the imposition of emergency, it was announced that
00:17:34the provincial government cannot be run according to the constitution in the current situation.
00:17:38The federal government can direct the Governor of KP to take all or some provincial matters
00:17:41under his authority. The Governor of KP will be able to perform
00:17:45the provincial governmental duties entrusted by the federal government.
00:17:48The Governor will be able to exercise the powers of other institutions and officials
00:17:52of the province besides the provincial assembly. To discuss this, we have with us
00:17:56expert on international affairs, Syed Muhammad Ali.
00:17:59Syed Muhammad Ali Sahib, now that it is clear that the President of the country
00:18:03has signed the summary and Article
00:18:06232
00:18:38A unit of the federation is not using its
00:18:41resources, energies,
00:18:44and mandate not only for the safety of its
00:18:48provincial people and the elimination of terrorism but is also guilty of criminal negligence.
00:18:51On the other hand, all the provincial
00:18:55resources are being used to destabilize
00:18:58other provinces and the federation. So, definitely, no responsible
00:19:02state and its leadership can allow this. So,
00:19:06I commend the President for this timely and necessary action,
00:19:09and I believe that he has played a very important
00:19:13role for the stability and security of the country,
00:19:17and he has immediately implemented
00:19:20the summary and proposal of the federal cabinet.
00:19:23So, I think it is also very important
00:19:27to clarify one more thing here that it is not appropriate
00:19:31to give it a political color or look for political motives.
00:19:34The biggest reason why this emergency
00:19:38has been imposed is, unfortunately,
00:19:42the criminal negligence of the KP provincial
00:19:45government in not taking timely and immediate steps
00:19:48to protect its people and citizens from terrorism.
00:19:52I want to share some facts with you that approximately
00:19:55125,000 police force
00:19:59is with the KP province, out of which
00:20:0217,000 personnel are on
00:20:06protocol duties.
00:22:20that this decision, in my opinion, is absolutely
00:22:23legal. Of course, the provincial government
00:22:26would definitely want to challenge this in such matters.
00:22:31that these matters will go to the federal constitutional court.
00:22:35They can file a petition before it and the federal government
00:22:38can judicially review it.
00:22:42Alright. Were the circumstances that the federal government is mentioning
00:22:46for imposing emergency in the province at that time, present or not?
00:23:50These emergency procedures, as the name suggests,
00:23:54are for a limited time. In a limited time, you take your
00:23:57action. When things are restored, then just as this procedure was taken,
00:24:01there is a similar mechanism in the constitution
00:24:05to undo this procedure, which will also take a day and all this will be undone.
00:24:08Okay, Haris Sahib, as a legal expert, please explain to our viewers the basic legal difference
00:24:12between emergency and Governor's rule, and also regarding human rights.
00:24:16Look, normally in this, our constitution
00:27:32to what extent can it review this decision and what
00:27:36decision can it announce in terms of legal
00:27:39aspects? Look, first of all, I will come
00:27:42to your question that this provincial government
00:27:46cannot call it unconstitutional. It has no authority
00:27:49at all. If it can be called unconstitutional,
00:27:53then it can be called
00:27:57by the superior courts. Now, there is a restriction
00:28:00in this too, that if
00:29:32the authority has been given to it by the Federal Government
00:29:36of Pakistan, and you can see
00:29:40how the entire mechanism came about:
00:29:42first the Governor's report came.
00:29:45Reports from various institutions were sent
00:29:49to the President of Pakistan. Then there was a meeting attended
00:29:52by Parliamentarians, the President of Pakistan, and the Prime
00:29:56Minister. After that,
00:29:59the cabinet met this morning, and after a long
00:30:03sitting, the cabinet sent a summary to the President
00:30:06of Pakistan, which was confirmed, and the matter does not end
00:30:10here.
00:30:13that when the President of Pakistan
00:30:17signed it,
00:30:19the proclamation order was issued and implemented.
00:30:23Now the notification is just a formality.
00:30:26So, further,
00:30:32that
