00:00:00It could have started. If it's your will, you can do such a thing.
00:00:04He said, "You are doing a very good thing. You are bringing a very good idea," but that thing
00:00:07could not happen. Now, on these 12 districts,
00:00:10they agreed with us during the negotiations that yes, emergency should be imposed here, we are with you
00:00:14because the situation there is such
00:00:18that these 12 districts should be normalized,
00:00:21life should be brought back, the issues of the people there are also very
00:00:25many, plus the terrorism there is
00:00:29at its extreme.
00:00:32But if no one was ready to stand with us, if anyone was
00:00:36even hesitant to meet with us, that this picture or something
00:00:40has to be met secretly, I have met them
00:00:43so many times,
00:00:45you might not even know, but I never said that
00:00:49a picture has to be released or anything, because they said that it creates problems for those people. We said
00:00:52no, we have clarity
00:00:55on one thing, that we don't want to bring politics into this.
00:00:57The third most important thing
00:01:03is that in no
00:01:06way can the federation have one foreign policy and
00:01:10the province have another foreign policy. It cannot work.
00:01:13And there you saw how many
00:01:16times what our stance was and what their stance
00:01:19was, and this kept happening again and again, not once but many times.
00:01:23Their
00:01:27connections with the Taliban are
00:01:31no secret. I
00:01:35the circumstances demanded if the provincial will not say anything else. Four or five of you plan
00:01:39that there is a constitutional breakdown now and go around these districts. If Allah keeps you safe and brings
00:01:42you back,
00:01:45issued by the President it's difficult to come back, because the situation there is actually bad at this time,
00:01:48which needs to be fixed. But those
00:01:51to that, people took out a whole procession and didn't say anything to
00:01:55one person. This is not a normal thing. On one hand,
00:01:59a day before, there
00:02:25it is and what its
00:02:30is a provincial government, it might not even be ready for its ownership.
00:02:32This
00:02:35was happening regularly on a daily basis.
00:02:38There
00:02:41is a lot of discrepancy between the police's resources and their
00:02:45to be called in the coming days, figures and our figures. They say we gave, we say
00:02:48you gave the money, you wrote it down, but whether they practically received it or
00:02:52not, that was the problem for us.
00:02:55that you also have Terrorism you cannot
00:02:59fight alone in any situation. You have to fight it together. Now we had
00:03:03only two options, either we would continue to have martyrs
00:03:06on a daily basis or end this thing.
00:03:09So this
00:03:13difficult decision we have made
00:03:16has a proper background.
00:03:20We tried
00:03:22you. As the Honorable Minister of Interior as much as possible to avoid
00:03:25it.
00:03:26two different aspects If terrorism has increased by 1%
00:03:30in about a year and a half,
00:03:33then that is not a small thing.
00:03:37And martyrdoms have also increased by 113% in about
00:03:4131 months. You can take anything.
00:03:45518 policemen
00:03:47have been martyred in the last year and a half, from January 2024.
00:03:51And you
00:03:54say that no, we have given you the budget,
00:03:56we have given you a budget of 20 billion. Hey brother,
00:04:01a full-fledged war is being waged against you. Now if you say that we have done a great favor to the police by giving 20 billion, you
00:04:04have given salary and other things, then I don't think
00:04:08it is appropriate. So the second
00:04:11thing is that your point of view is that
00:04:15no, we will first define the terrorist whether he is a terrorist or not. If a person is firing
00:04:20in D.I. Khan Mardan. So he is a very at you, martyring your people, then
00:04:23you will sit for definition on that too. Well, there were many
00:04:26My sister, Samar Haroon Bilour, problems that were related to their governor,
00:04:29education, but we do in policies. but we, personally, our
00:04:32Ministry of Interior's point of view was very clear that this whole thing
00:04:35has 0% to do with politics, and we were
00:04:38purely looking at it on the basis of terrorism,
00:04:42and we wanted to bring them on board only on the basis of terrorism,
00:04:46that if they come with us on this, it would be very good. And believe me, if that
00:04:50about the imposition of emergency, agreement had happened that day, this situation would not have existed today. Even after that, if
00:04:53even last night if they had said yes, this would not have happened,
00:04:57the entire leadership. You must
00:05:05ask them who were the people who were their masterminds who were sabotaging
00:05:09everything and how
00:05:14they would agree with us and after that, whether it is the People's
00:05:17Party or PMLN, delegations of both were present. You ask both of them,
00:05:21so we were forced to do this.
00:05:24And if Allah wills, once
00:05:27this detailed law minister will tell
00:05:31you that after the things that have been imposed today, I am only praying to Allah that Allah
00:05:34make things easy for us and in this war against terrorism, our army,
00:05:38our police, our paramilitary forces be successful,
00:05:42so that we can fight this war
00:05:46with unity and good intentions.
00:05:50Thank you very much, Mr.
00:05:53Naqvi. The things that the Interior Minister
00:05:56said today were all discussed by the Prime Minister
00:06:00with the President of the country
00:06:03before
00:06:08advising him on this matter. A very detailed cabinet meeting
00:06:12was held, you people were also reporting about it,
00:06:16which lasted for more than two
00:06:19hours, and in it, the relevant
00:06:23departments also gave reports,
00:06:26which the Governor from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:06:30informed the federal government about some very alarming things
00:06:34through a letter, because they are representatives of the federation
00:06:36and they fulfilled their responsibility, which is mentioned
00:06:39in Article 234, that
00:06:45government is being run
00:06:49in such a way
00:06:52in the province and the writ of government
00:06:55is also not visible and instead of correcting
00:06:59it, you are prioritizing
00:07:02your politics and putting
00:07:06the lives of people and the welfare of the province
00:07:09and what is good for Pakistan on the back burner.
00:07:13They fulfilled their constitutional responsibility. Along with this,
00:07:17a lot of material and reports that the Interior Minister has shared with
00:07:21you, among which one of the most alarming things
00:07:24was that in the last two to two and a half years,
00:07:28there has been a 196% increase
00:07:31in incidents of terrorism and extremism,
00:07:35that is, if one incident used to happen in two
00:07:38three days, it has now come to three incidents, and
00:07:42there has been almost a 200% increase,
00:07:46and the number of martyrdoms
00:07:50and injuries and the destruction
00:07:53of installations and vehicles
00:07:56also saw a similar sharp increase.
00:07:59One way to deal with this was for the provincial
00:08:03government to work with the federation and with the Pakistan
00:08:06Armed Forces to fight that war
00:08:10with full zeal.
00:08:14But you yourself saw in the trends that unfortunately,
00:08:18the majority of the attacks and the trend
00:08:22was more on the Pakistan Armed Forces, KP
00:08:25Police, and innocent civilians
00:08:28or religious leaders. And in this
00:08:32burning fire, instead of putting their heads together
00:08:36to find a solution, there was reluctance
00:08:40to move forward with resolve. He explained
00:08:44all that. So in such a situation,
00:08:47the federal government and the President
00:08:50of Pakistan, acting within the framework
00:08:54of the constitution, and these
00:08:57are the provisions that the original framers
00:09:00of the 1973 constitution, our elders
00:09:04in parliament, put their heads together
00:09:07and included these articles, because
00:09:11the Federation of Pakistan
00:09:13is a collection, a country,
00:09:16we are one nation. We are its units,
00:09:20but these units are also bound to live with the federation.
00:09:24And there are various provisions of the constitution
00:09:27in which this is expressed. For example, Article 149
00:09:31of the constitution, its Clause 4 says that
00:09:34the Federal Government, although we say that we do not interfere in many
00:09:38domains, in health, In 149(4)
00:09:43it was said that where there is talk of
00:09:47peace and tranquility in the country
00:09:50and talk of the country's protection and security, the Federal Government will give directions
00:09:54to the provinces. If they do not implement it, then there are also
00:09:57consequences. Article 232 of the Constitution, which talks
00:10:03says that if
00:10:06internal threats are such that the security of the province is at
00:10:10stake, and also
00:10:13you have a threat of external
00:10:16invasion, meaning an external attack, here there is a fire burning.
00:10:20The entire border area from our neighboring country,
00:10:24Afghanistan. What is happening from there is also no secret from you, and the internal
00:10:28matters are also no secret. So both
00:10:31these situations were created. I was asked
00:10:3415-20 days ago that the federal
00:10:38government is thinking, so I said that a procedure has been given in the constitution.
00:10:41The day the federal government has that material
00:10:45and the federal government will be able
00:10:49to justify that now the President should exercise this power.
00:10:52On that day,
00:10:55a decision will be made within the constitutional framework,
00:10:59and you heard, you kept seeing,
00:11:02you kept covering that the talks were at what level,
00:11:05to what extent they went on till 2:30 AM
00:11:08last night, and then there was another
00:11:12attempt yesterday, despite that things were still
00:11:16stuck, so in this background,
00:11:19after detailed consultation today,
00:11:21the President of the country,
00:11:25on the advice of the Prime Minister,
00:11:28using the powers given in Article 232
00:11:32of the Constitution and Article 234 of the Constitution,
00:11:35has imposed emergency
00:11:39in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In common parlance,
00:11:43when matters of Article 232
00:11:46occur, we say it's an emergency, and when matters of 234
00:11:50occur, we say it's Governor's rule, but this situation was so grave
00:11:53and
00:12:00that both situations were
00:12:04such that both these provisions were exercised,
00:12:07and the powers given in it, in the first proclamation issued
00:12:10by the President, according
00:12:16the background has been told to you.
00:12:20It must have been notified by now. In it,
00:12:23so all those things.
00:13:23Keeping them in view, the proclamation
00:13:26covered all these things, and on its basis,
00:13:30under the mechanism of the constitution,
00:13:34the proclamation says that
00:13:36the federal government has,
00:13:40through this proclamation, inactivated
00:13:43the provincial government, it ceases
00:13:47to exist at this time,
00:13:50and the Governor has been authorized
00:13:53by the federation to use the powers of the provincial government
00:13:57that have been delegated to him,
00:14:00which the constitution allows, and for this,
00:14:04through a subsequent order, the Governor
00:14:07has been proposed
00:14:10an 11-member advisory council,
00:14:13in which Atta Tarar Sahib will tell
00:14:16you that every effort has been made
00:14:20to find the kind of people needed for betterment
00:14:24and improvement, who can work
00:14:27with hard work and dedication during
00:14:31this interim period, this transitional
00:14:34time. Under the second order,
00:14:37for the 12 districts that are almost
00:14:41in a state of war, the federal government
00:14:44has established a secretariat
00:14:47under the Governor and Chief Secretary
00:14:50that will directly oversee these 12 districts
00:14:56and keep the federal government informed because the situation
00:14:59there is very serious. In this,
00:15:03an ARDC has
00:15:05been established,
00:15:08a council that
00:15:11will handle all matters related to reconstruction
00:15:15and development. That's right, Atta,
00:15:18he will handle all those matters,
00:15:22and the names of the districts
00:15:34have been notified. Their administration
00:15:38will be managed through this mechanism
00:15:41by the provincial government and the central government.
00:15:44The Governor will also oversee this.
00:15:48In the proclamation, obviously,
00:15:51in accordance with the intent of the constitution,
00:15:54the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, provincial ministers,
00:15:58advisors, special assistants,
00:16:01Advocate General, and several other constitutional office holders
00:16:04have been immediately deactivated.
00:16:08Along with this, under
00:16:12Article 245,
00:16:15the federal government
00:16:17has
00:16:20issued a proclamation
00:16:24to deploy the Pakistan
00:16:26Armed Forces for assistance
00:16:29to the provincial government there,
00:16:32currently under the leadership of Governor Kundi Sahib,
00:16:36in accordance with the procedure given in the mechanism
00:16:39of the constitution under Article 245. And they were already deployed.
00:16:43Let me clarify. They are making all these sacrifices
00:16:47in the war against terror, so as a result of this deployment, our brave soldiers
00:16:50and officers are being martyred and they are doing their utmost
00:16:54to eradicate it.
00:16:58But to convert this into a more coordinated
00:17:01effort and to achieve results,
00:17:04a fresh proclamation has also been issued.
00:17:08Now the procedure for this is that
00:17:11time to
00:17:15time, the constitution authorizes
00:17:19and the proclamation
00:17:22authorizes the federal government
00:17:26to issue appropriate orders
00:17:30through the Governor from time to time
00:17:33so that the affairs of the province
00:17:37can be run constitutionally
00:17:41within the constitution and the
00:17:45results or objectives
00:17:48that we want to achieve with this proclamation
00:17:51can be ensured. For its details,
00:17:54I will request the Information Minister to introduce
00:17:58you to the kind of setup
00:18:02matters are. The ratification
00:18:06of these proclamations will be done
00:18:09separately by the National Assembly and the Senate of
00:18:12Pakistan up to the limit of Article 232,
00:18:15and that has to be done in ten days. For that,
00:18:18a session of Parliament is also proposed
00:18:22in a day or two, and then this matter will also be taken
00:18:26to a joint sitting. Along with that, since it is a requirement
00:18:30of Article 234
00:18:33to debate that matter and approve
00:18:36it, the joint
00:18:39sitting, the joint session of Parliament,
00:18:42so all these matters
00:18:46will be placed before Parliament
00:18:50under this constitutional procedure so that it can
00:18:53make its decision regarding their ratification.
00:18:56Thank
00:18:59and the Honorable Minister for Law shed light on
00:19:04of this. One is its law and order, safety, and security
00:19:07aspect, and the other is its legal aspect.
00:19:11Look, today, when this was also discussed in the cabinet
00:19:15under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister,
00:19:18it was the well-considered opinion of all cabinet
00:19:22members that the PTI
00:19:25government in KP
00:19:28is hand in glove with terrorists.
00:19:30They have an unholy alliance
00:19:33with terrorists, and terrorists
00:19:37have full access
00:19:39to how a particular district will be run.
00:19:43That is, the report presented by the Intelligence
00:19:47Bureau and law enforcement agencies
00:19:50showed that the situation there is so frightening,
00:19:54as Mohsin Naqvi Sahib also said, that
00:19:58all political parties have been attacked by terrorists there.
00:20:04sitting with you, will tell you more about this.
00:20:50martyred people, carried out terrorist attacks, from hospitals
00:20:54to mosques to police stations
00:20:58to army personnel, you empowered them.
00:21:00These are two different things. That is, constitutional breakdown
00:21:04happens when you empower
00:21:07those people and make them a stakeholder in your authority,
00:21:11that a power-sharing formula, if I may say so,
00:21:15was slowly developing between the terrorists and the PTI
00:21:18government in KP, which started from the southern
00:21:22districts and was gaining more ingress throughout
00:21:25Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I was in the hospital
00:21:28in Kohat, and the civilians who came there,
00:21:32who were severely injured, said
00:21:36that "get rid of them, they will destroy us. We are
00:21:39injured, but we want to fight against terrorists." And
00:21:43they said that "we are very honorable people,
00:21:46very proud people, and we don't give up our revenge."
00:21:50I don't know why these terrorists have been given a free hand
00:21:53throughout the province. So you see that those who were responsible
00:21:57for law and order, safety, and security, they not only
00:22:01facilitated them, they made terrorists
00:22:04respectable members of their administration. I went to the house
00:22:08of that constable. It requires a lot of courage for this work.
00:22:11Faheemullah, a resident of Kohat,
00:22:15was the only son of his father. And
00:22:18the mountain
00:22:39and their nexus, as a result of which they had outsourced many districts
00:22:43to terrorists, saying, "You martyr citizens, you destroy mosques,
00:22:47you bomb hospitals, whoever doesn't pay you protection money."
00:22:51Basically, who are these people? Who are these Taliban? I, by the grace of Almighty Allah,
00:22:55say this with full conviction that
00:22:58these are people
00:23:01funded by external powers who want to bring our country
00:23:05to the brink of destruction. Now, any such
00:23:08group that receives funding from abroad
00:23:11and comes and martyrs our people and harms
00:23:15the lives and property of our people,
00:23:18and
00:24:30how do they bring prosperity to the people of the province? I will now show you the structure
00:24:34that today, when this group
00:24:37has been liberated, who are the competent
00:24:40people who are now part of this council?
00:24:43Please come forward. Come forward.
00:24:47I will show you one by one that the home
00:24:50portfolio in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regarding the Advisory
00:24:54Council, and this Advisory Council will operate under the Governor. Its home council member is Kifayatullah Khan Sahib.
00:24:58He is an ex-IG Prisons. He is an ex-chairman FATA Tribunal
00:25:01and he has also been in the Tribal Affairs Department and Home
00:25:05Department, and along with that, he has also been Commissioner
00:25:10competent officer, a very honest officer, who has been given the home
00:25:14portfolio in this council. In finance,
00:25:18Tariq
00:25:20Mahmood is a very prominent name in Pakistan.
00:25:24He has rendered his services throughout Pakistan. And he has also been an ex-chairman.
00:25:28He has also served
00:25:30in Punjab. He has been Secretary
00:25:34Finance and Secretary of
00:25:37Devolution. He has a very excellent and unblemished career.
00:25:40Income tax group
00:25:41and he has.
00:25:47So that they can steer it towards success, bring reforms,
00:26:02and make people's lives easier. So you will see
00:26:06in these technocrats that they are the shining stars
00:26:09of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, whose past
00:26:13also bears witness that they have always served Pakistan
00:26:16and always made a positive contribution.
00:26:20And even now, the selection has been made purely on merit.
00:26:23Come forward, Mr. Amir Javed
00:26:27is in law. He has also been Advocate General. He is an Advocate of the Supreme Court
00:26:30and ex-E.
00:28:33Having a career with a doctorate where you have brought improvement,
00:28:37where you have served, you have made improvements there. In the institution
00:28:40you were in, you have improved its competence, its
00:28:44service delivery for the public, for the people of Pakistan.
00:28:48So the careers of all these people are like this. Next,
00:28:51for communication, Asif Rafiq Afridi Sahib
00:28:54has been appointed to this Advisory Council
00:28:58for Communication, Local Government, and Housing and Transport. This is also
00:29:32not an easy task to
00:29:35issue a fatwa against terrorists while sitting in a religious
00:29:39seminary, but also to make a positive contribution to the narrative
00:29:43against terrorism every day. So I think
00:29:46it is a very good name and he has great services
