00:00:00Saudi Arabia, the Madina Munawwarah who would not expatriates in Saudi
00:00:03die for it? So, I Arabia, they are, they are very firm, they are very resilient, and they are with the Saudi leadership in this critical situation, whereas the Saudi leadership is showing their every resilience to counter these attacks by the Houthis. I am Waqar Naseem Wamiq, reporting for Pakistan TV, live from the Saudi capital Riyadh. Thank you, Waqar, for that update. Now, Prime Minister Shehbaz has strongly condemned the heinous attack by the Houthi militia on the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, expressing the deepest condolences to the bereaved families and praying for the swift and full recovery of the injured. Addressing the federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad, the Prime Minister said that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia share historic ties, and Saudi Arabia is a close and brotherly country to Pakistan. He said Pakistan strongly condemns the attacks on Saudi Arabia, and we have a bilateral and trilateral defense agreement with the Kingdom. Shehbaz Sharif said that there is no justification for aggression against Saudi Arabia. Earlier, in a post on X, the Prime Minister said that attacks targeting civilians and critical infrastructure were completely unacceptable and posed a serious threat to regional peace and stability. He added that such acts of violence, which constitute a flagrant violation of international law, must cease immediately. Shehbaz reaffirmed Pakistan's unwavering solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership, and the brotherly people. He also read that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the attack, calling the targeting of the civilian airport an act of terrorism and a grave threat to regional peace and stability. It expressed profound concerns over the casualties and extended condolences to the bereaved families. The Foreign Office of Pakistan's commitment to Saudi Arabian sovereignty and security rests on the Mecca Agreement and the joint defense and recent decisions of its strategic, political, and defense committee. It fully supports the Kingdom's legitimate right to defend itself and its territory, the people, and vital infrastructure. Now, US President Donald Trump said that the attack on Riyadh's international airport that killed at least a dozen people on Saturday was not acceptable. Speaking to reporters, Donald Trump said that he will be speaking with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman following the attacks by the Yemeni Houthis. Earlier, the United States President Donald Trump said that he would soon decide whether to join the Saudi strikes against the Houthis for an attack on Riyadh's international airport that killed 12 people, including. Breaking news coming our way, advice has been sent to the President House for imposition of emergency in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The meeting of the cabinet has decided that there would be emergency under Article 232, as the advice to the President for imposition of emergency in KP has been sent. The Prime Minister has imposed the emergency in the province of. Under Articles 232 and 234, the advice for the emergency proposed has been sent to the presidency where the President shall have the final word and sign when the emergency shall be set up in the province of.

The advice has been sent to the President House for imposition of the emergency in the province of on the advice of the Prime Minister and the cabinet meeting that has recommended that emergency shall be imposed in the province of. Earlier, the Prime Minister had briefed the cabinet regarding the situation. think that today again
00:00:07from this forum, I will say that Pakistan
00:00:10fully expresses its solidarity with Saudi
00:00:14Arabia in every way and stands
00:00:19I am not going into with its Saudi brothers and sisters, and Pakistan will not tolerate
00:00:24did not want our any kind of aggression in any situation.
00:00:26Our agreements also demand this, and our
00:00:30bonds of brotherhood also demand this, and
00:00:34especially the sanctity of Madina Munawwarah
00:00:37and Makkah Al-Mukarramah and its protection
00:00:41is the responsibility of billions of Muslims
00:00:45worldwide. So, I
00:00:46the province leads, think that in this regard, this is
00:00:49a red line. We all pray to Allah Almighty
00:00:53that this matter is resolved peacefully, otherwise
00:00:56Pakistan will stand with its Saudi brothers
00:01:09and sisters in every way. Regarding the
00:01:12recent issues, you know that
00:01:16in terms of terrorism, what
00:01:19has been happening in KP province
00:01:22and Balochistan in the last two and a half
00:01:26years, and the way terrorists are martyring
00:01:31innocent civilians, targeting police officers
00:01:34and soldiers, army
00:01:36officers and soldiers, innocent
00:01:40people, children,
00:01:42delegation was sent mothers, sons and daughters, there can
00:01:46be nothing more heartbreaking than this.
00:01:50These are extremely painful
00:01:52and sorrowful incidents,
00:01:56and day
00:01:59to sources, important and night, the armed
00:02:01decisions with regards
00:02:19they want to bring
00:02:48have not gone
00:03:00forces are working to counter them, their CTD,
00:03:03police, their training,
00:03:06equipping them with weapons, fully supporting
00:03:09them, and for this, you know that
00:03:13in the 2010 NFC Award,
00:03:16all four provinces wholeheartedly and
00:03:19voluntarily decided that before
00:03:23you have mentioned, the distribution of resources among
00:03:27the provinces, number 1, although
00:03:31it was never an agenda item of NFC, but
00:03:34we did it because
00:03:37Pakistan was a front-line state that was fighting
00:03:40these terrorists, and there, in those days,
00:03:44the politicians who were martyred,
00:03:47common citizens were martyred, shopkeepers, doctors,
00:03:50engineers, so
00:03:54we said that 1% would be for them in
00:03:57the formula, and the distribution would be after that.
00:04:01Today it's 2010
00:04:05and today it's 2026. So, believe
00:04:08me, almost 800 billion
00:04:11rupees have been given to them
00:04:14under this head or are being given. And
00:04:18the result of this, and this was only for this
00:04:22work, that you will augment your CD,
00:04:26you will train in police stations, you will do new
00:04:30recruitment, buy weapons, do everything. But what
00:04:33was the result that neither the CD
00:04:37was strengthened nor the police were strengthened,
00:04:40nor weapons were provided, nor any intelligence,
00:04:43and where did the money go? I am not going
00:04:47into that detail. What was the result that
00:04:50every day there are attacks in Tank, sometimes in Dera
00:04:54Ismail Khan, sometimes in other places, and the
00:04:58KP government, instead of countering them, is
00:05:02completely silent. When we say that this is
00:05:05support for terrorism, instead
00:05:08the Pakistani state of standing with the federation, working with the federation to eliminate them, sending
00:05:13them to hell, they don't say a word.
00:05:15I am
00:05:18not here for any covering, I can talk about
00:05:20that, but for some other time. What
00:05:24is this that other people are being targeted, and their
00:05:28processions come out there?
00:05:31that. I am just saying that fighting terrorists
00:05:35with the federation is the duty of this province's
00:05:38police, administration, all of us, instead
00:05:42of becoming a complete wall, it is
00:05:45not only silent, but the situation
00:05:49is getting worse every day. And then
00:05:52they planned to attack Islamabad, an evil
00:05:56plan. Look, I have already talked about
00:05:59it, that when your economic indicators are
00:06:03slowly getting better, and with day and night
00:06:07efforts, by God, this is teamwork. I don't
00:06:09want to boast, and there are still many
00:07:12challenges, but through teamwork, those who
00:07:16want to come to Islamabad and revive those horrific
00:07:19memories when clothes were hanging in D-Chowk,
00:07:23and what kind of spectacle, digging graves, by God,
00:07:27do they want to destroy Pakistan again? Do
00:07:32Pakistan to the brink of destruction again?
00:07:36Do they want to commit this enmity with Pakistan
00:07:39which gave you everything, made you Chief Minister,
00:07:43gave you governments, you ruled there for
00:07:4613 years? Is this what you are returning
00:07:50to Pakistan? I think there can be no
00:07:53greater act of hostility towards the country than
00:07:57this. So, today will you be a silent
00:08:01spectator and sit back while your laborers
00:08:04cannot reach the factory, engineers cannot go to their
00:08:08factories, owners cannot go to their shops,
00:08:12an officer cannot go to his office, children
00:08:15cannot go to school, the country goes towards
00:08:19destruction again? Those who have good thoughts
00:08:23about Pakistan and are expressing them, will
00:08:26we then sit inside? The investors of Pakistan
00:08:30will then sit back and wait for the situation
00:08:33to improve before they invest. Do
00:08:36you want to play this game
00:08:39again and again and completely disable and destroy
00:08:43Pakistan? This will not happen. The law will take
00:08:47its course, and in every situation, God willing,
00:08:50I will not let this happen, and you also
00:08:54fully understand that you will not let
00:08:57it happen. In this regard, we decided
00:09:00that the PPP and PML-N, and I
00:09:04give credit for this to Mr. Asif Zardari
00:09:08Sahib, Mr. Bilawal Bhutto Sahib, Mian
00:09:11Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Sahib, and my team,
00:09:15that we decided to send a joint delegation
00:09:18to them and explain to them that we should
00:09:22resolve this matter through dialogue so that Pakistan
00:09:25can avoid these horrific, I would say, catastrophic
00:09:29consequences again, and this effort
00:09:32made in two and a half years, whose
00:09:35results are slowly coming to light,
00:09:38can be saved from ruin. Two days of
00:09:42meetings were held, in which Mohsin Naqvi
00:09:45Sahib, Rana Sanaullah Sahib, and Ameer Muqam
00:09:49were from our side, and from PPP's side,
00:09:53Syed Naveed Qamar and Begum
00:09:56Sherry Rehman were there. So, I think
00:09:59that the talks were held with great sincerity,
00:10:03and I was surprised, rather pleasantly surprised,
00:10:07that this matter would be resolved, Alhamdulillah.
00:10:11I was told last night by Mr. Naqvi
00:10:15and my other colleagues that the matter was
00:10:18resolved, the final draft was agreed upon.
00:10:22They said, "We will show it to our
00:10:26Chief Minister." So, everything was fine.
00:10:29But after that, things stopped, and
00:10:32the matter ended because their intentions were bad.
00:10:36They did not want peace to be established
00:10:39in the country. They did not want this
00:10:43journey of development to move forward. They
00:10:49diplomatic success to move forward. They
00:10:52did not want an economic revolution here.
00:10:56They said no, and the matter ended.
00:11:00Our concerns were proven true again.
00:11:04So, after that, they were informally told
00:11:07to stop their long march, to call
00:11:11off their sit-ins. We can still talk
00:11:15to you. But they did not give any
00:11:18positive response. Yesterday, Maulana Fazlur Rehman
00:11:21Sahib, I thank him, he was kind enough
00:11:25to come, and he said that he has
00:11:29come to participate in these talks with
00:11:32goodness and sincerity. The Prime Minister
00:11:35had also returned after performing Umrah. I
00:11:39myself called him, congratulated him on Umrah,
00:11:42and told him that he has contributed to
00:11:46this matter as soon as he came. So,
00:11:50we are ready for it. So, he came,
00:11:53and he was with
00:12:25me last night. Did the KP government
00:12:28or the Chief Minister not have the courtesy
00:12:32today to at least not condemn the terrorists,
00:12:36whose children are being martyred, whose daughters
00:12:39have become orphans, sons have become orphans,
00:12:42who have watered Pakistan with their blood?
00:12:46They could have expressed their sympathy for them,
00:12:50said a few words for them. They did
00:12:53not say a single word. And
00:12:57the conversation that is going on right
00:13:01now is indescribable. Such words, such
00:13:04abuses that cannot be uttered. So,
00:13:08I think that in these circumstances,
00:13:11the water has gone above the head.
00:13:15We need to take action in this
00:13:19regard. The picture that I have painted
00:13:23before you, I think that
00:13:26his efforts, he also quoted that she
00:13:30said that Prime Minister Pakistan is a changed
00:13:34Pakistan. He talked about the London trip
00:13:38as well where he met with the top
00:13:41banks and the world leaders as well
00:13:45who also praised Pakistan's leadership and economic
00:13:48reform saying that Pakistan has been
00:13:52an attractive destination for the foreign investment.
00:13:55The world leaders praised Pakistan leadership
00:13:59in its role and mediation. Unfortunately,
00:14:03things have not been stable in Babel
00:14:06Madhab, but Pakistan continues to play
00:14:10its role as he praised the CDF
00:14:14Asim Munir, the Deputy Prime Minister
00:14:17and the Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi. He
00:14:21also said that he visited the newly
00:14:25established Danish Technology Park where he said
00:14:28that was under ruins in the last
00:14:32government and now completed under the
00:14:36leadership of Minister Shiza Fatma Kwaja
00:14:39and Minister SN Iqbal. This initiative
00:14:43will benefit the youth and will also be
00:14:46a hub for the international IT
00:14:49activity. On Saudi Arabia, he said
00:14:53that Saudi Arabia is a brotherly country
00:14:57of Pakistan and we also mediated
00:15:00with our brotherly country of Iran. He said
00:15:04that we have close relations with the Iranian
00:15:07leadership quoting the situation in Babel Mandab. He said
00:15:11that Pakistan is in trilateral defense
00:15:15agreement. Therefore, Pakistan
00:15:19condemns the unfortunate attacks by the
00:15:22Yemeni Houthis on the kingdom of
00:15:25Saudi Arabia, showing
00:15:28concern of the entire Muslim Ummah for
00:15:32safeguarding Makka and Madina, as it
00:15:36is the red line for all
00:15:39the Muslims across the world, and
00:15:43Pakistan stands with Saudi Arabia against
00:15:46all threats. Mentioning the situation in KPN
00:15:50Baluchistan, he said that numerous sacrifices
00:15:53have been rendered by the security forces
00:15:57and civilians alike. The government and
00:16:00the people of Pakistan stand with its
00:16:03armed forces, criticizing Afghanistan, he stated
00:16:07that Afghanistan has not understood that
00:16:10we need to live in peace in the
00:16:13region despite all efforts from Pakistan.
00:16:16Regarding KP, he said that a
00:16:19CTD team was funded by the
00:16:23federal government, as it is a frontline
00:16:27state facing terrorism. Funds were given
00:16:30for training and development, and despite
00:16:34providing funds, there was no development.
00:16:38Criticizing the KP government, he said
00:16:41that we as a nation should
00:16:45fight against terrorism and the KP government
00:16:48has not been in line for
00:16:51the betterment, rather making further hurdles
00:16:55in the process of safety,
00:16:57security and development of the
00:17:01province, shutting down the ecosystem by
00:17:04protest and rallies, he said that
00:17:07the law shall prevail encountering these.
00:17:11He said on the advice of
00:17:14President Asif Ali, a joint
00:17:20to KP. Two days of meeting
00:17:24included top leadership, but the negotiations
00:17:27could not prevail. He said Maulana
00:17:30Fazl Rahman came forward as a negotiator,
00:17:33criticizing the KP Chief Minister, he
00:17:36said that he did not condemn
00:17:40the terrorist and did not show
00:17:43sympathy with the aggrieved either. To
00:17:47know about this further, we've been
00:17:50joined by Ali Andas, our
00:17:53correspondent for Pakistan TV.
00:17:57Yes, Ali, what is going to be
00:18:00happening in the closed door meeting?
00:18:03Now, a brief has been given
00:18:07by the Prime Minister of Pakistan
00:18:11himself, where he
00:18:13says that it
00:18:15is time to take action against the
00:18:18Chief Minister KP, as negotiations
00:18:26as per what was required to
00:18:29be and has gone north. Federal Cabinet
00:18:33meeting a Sunday means there are
00:18:36some very important pressing issues on
00:18:39the agenda. At the start of
00:18:43the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Shehbaz
00:18:47during his address to the cabinet
00:18:50members began with the
00:18:53global situation,
00:18:56regional situation where he condemned, as
00:19:01condemned the terror the Houthi attacks
00:19:04on Saudi Arabia and the closure
00:19:08of waterways including Strait of
00:19:10Hormuz and
00:19:13Bab-el-Mandeb. According to Prime Minister
00:19:17Shehbaz Sharif in his address,
00:19:21the defense of Saudi Arabia and
00:19:24the two holy cities is not
00:19:28just the responsibility of Saudi Arabia
00:19:31or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia's
00:19:35allies, it is the responsibility of
00:19:39billion plus Muslims. On the other
00:19:42hand, he called for peace and
00:19:46dialogue in order to resolve the
00:19:49crisis in the Middle East and
00:19:53Gulf. Talking about the fiscal discipline,
00:19:57he said Pakistan's economic performance has
00:20:00been recognized by all international institutions,
00:20:04and he also announced that the
00:20:08talks with the IMF are going
00:20:11in the right direction and Pakistan
00:20:15is expected to receive the next
00:20:19tranche of IMF in this year,
00:20:22before the end of this year.
00:20:25Now coming to the situation in
00:20:29Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the rising
00:20:33incidence of terror that we have
00:20:37witnessed in the last few months.
00:20:41According to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif,
00:20:46has repeatedly urged Afghanistan to stop
00:20:50the terror emanating,
00:21:14originating from their territory and taking
00:21:18place in Pakistan, killing citizens, killing
00:21:22security personnel. However, despite repeated diplomatic
00:21:26efforts involving Pakistan's allies, including China
00:21:29and Qatar, the message has not
00:21:33reached Kabul. While
00:21:36we can see the performance of
00:21:39the provincial government. Prime Minister expressed
00:21:43serious concern over the language being
00:21:47used by the provincial government,
00:21:50by the Chief Minister of the
00:21:54province, which is most affected
00:21:57by terrorism. And as the Khyber
00:22:01Pakhtunkhwa leads the provincial government,
00:22:05the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:22:08wants to bring
00:22:09a large number
00:22:15of protesters to Islamabad, ignoring the
00:22:19situation and deteriorating law and order
00:22:22situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He mentioned
00:22:26that condemning the acts of terror
00:22:29is a far cry. The provincial government,
00:22:33the Chief Minister, have refused even
00:22:36to go and offer condolences to
00:22:40the victims of terrorism that is
00:22:44taking place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According
00:22:51to governor, imposition of governor rule
00:22:55in are going to
00:22:57be discussed in today's federal cabinet
00:23:01meeting. According to sources, the members
00:23:05of the federal cabinet have an
00:23:09issue with the provincial government
00:23:12through dialogue should be taken underway.
00:23:15And for this purpose, according to
00:23:19sources, Maulana Fazlur Rehman is
00:23:21being contacted through which the
00:23:25federal government, the federal cabinet, aims
00:23:29to resolve the crisis with the
00:23:32federal with the provincial government of
00:23:35Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before imposition of
00:23:39governor rule. During the federal cabinet
00:23:42meeting, according to
00:23:43sources, Deputy
00:23:47Prime Minister is contacting
00:23:51JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman
00:23:54in order to convey the concerns
00:23:58and intentions of the federal government
00:24:01and make a last effort to
00:24:05avoid the imposition of governor rule
00:24:08in the province. Ali Andaz reporting
00:24:12for Pakistan TV. Now, the federal
00:24:16cabinet expresses deep concern over
00:24:20the security situation in Pakhtunkhwa and
00:24:24made the last effort through Maulana
00:24:27Fazlur Rehman before any final discussion
00:24:30regarding the situation in the province.
00:24:34Addressing the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister
00:24:38Shehbaz Sharif says that the Khyber
00:24:41government should stand united with the
00:24:44federal government to root out terrorism
00:24:48in the province
00:24:50for improving the situation over there
00:24:54for the security. As the federal
00:24:57cabinet meets in Islamabad, the federal
00:25:00ministers have expressed serious concerns over
00:25:04the rising incidents of terrorism in
00:25:07the cabinet said that the way
00:25:11the provincial government of was distancing
00:25:14itself from the fight against terrorism
00:25:17is highly concerning.
00:25:28As efforts are still on the
00:25:32way to resolve the dialogue and
00:25:35the crisis, the Deputy Prime Minister
00:25:39contacted the JUI-F leadership during the
00:25:43cabinet meeting. On the economic front,
