00:03:19Welcome back, now the news in detail. President Asif Ali Zardari,
00:03:23on the advice of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, has imposed emergency in Khyber
00:03:26Pakhtunkhwa under Article 232 and 234 of
00:03:30the Constitution of Pakistan. Given the gravity of the situation, the
00:03:33President signed the summary sent to him by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on the
00:03:37recommendation of the cabinet for exercising his constitutional authority and
00:03:41imposing emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under Articles
00:03:44232 and 234 of the Constitution. Earlier, the Federal
00:03:48Cabinet was briefed on the law and order
00:03:50this is situation and the provincial government's deliberate disengagement from the fight against terrorism and the
00:03:54deteriorating situation of affairs regarding terrorism in Khyber
00:03:58Pakhtunkhwa. The cabinet conducted a detailed review of the situation, taking
00:04:02into account the worsening law and order conditions in Khyber
00:04:05Pakhtunkhwa.
00:04:11sisters, I particularly Federal Interior Minister Mohsin
00:04:14Naqvi says month-long efforts to secure KP government's cooperation
00:04:18against terrorism failed due to differences with PTI leaders. Law
00:04:22Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar says the federal government acted within the constitutional
00:04:26framework while Information Minister blames the KP
00:04:30approach for worsening security. Meanwhile, the federal government has formed an
00:04:3411-member advisory council to oversee key departments in Khyber
00:04:37Pakhtunkhwa. More in this report by Anam
00:04:40Abbasi. After the declaration of
00:04:43emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the federal ministers held a
00:04:47crucial joint press conference in Islamabad today and
00:04:50revealed the complete inside story of what
00:04:54led to the difficult decision of declaring emergency in
00:04:58Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The senior minister Mohsin Naqvi said a sharp
00:05:02increase in terrorism, citing 195% rise
00:05:05in terrorist incidents and 103% increase in
00:05:09casualties over one and a half year. He stated that
00:05:12518 police personnel have been murdered since January
00:05:162024 and identified 12 districts
00:05:18as severely affected by terrorism. So,
00:05:22the fundamental grounds for imposition of emergency
00:05:26are law and order,
00:05:29fight against terrorism and to
00:05:32save innocent people from from from the dreadful
00:05:35consequences of terrorist activities. Information
00:05:38Minister accused that PTI-led
00:05:41provincial government of failing to maintain law and order
00:05:45and alleged that the militant groups had expanded their
00:05:48influence in the province. This, this, this
00:05:51government, which has been suspended
00:05:54through a constitutional option, is
00:05:57responsible for the deaths of thousands
00:06:00of citizens
00:06:04their pro TTP, pro TTA
00:06:07policies. These were people who are
00:06:10apologists for these terrorists, sympathizers
00:06:13who have always been sympathizers. And let me also remind you
00:06:16that the policy of TTA towards women has been
00:06:20reflected by the KPK government with regard to women's
00:06:24rights, with regard to women's education. You may like to look at the statistics, how
00:06:29their right to livelihood and their right to
00:06:32education. He presented the proposed advisory council as a
00:06:36team of technocrats, experienced officials and
00:06:39professionals tasked with improving governance
00:06:43and administration. The ministers maintained that the intervention
00:06:46was intended to address worsening terrorism, restore
00:06:49effective governance and strengthen coordination between the
00:06:53federal government and security institutions. Anam

00:07:47This is news just in. KP Advisory Council meeting
00:07:50is presided by the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in
00:07:54Peshawar today, where the entire council is
00:07:58meeting after the imposition of the
00:08:00emergency.
00:08:03Governor Governor Faisal Karim Kundi is
00:08:07conducting an advisory council meeting
00:08:10where he will discuss the upcoming...
00:13:58Everyone knows you. Thank you very much. I congratulate
00:14:02all participants, all members
00:14:05of the advisory council. Today is
00:14:09our first advisory council meeting.
00:14:12Along with congratulations,
00:14:15also a difficult decision.
00:14:19It's not that easy. You face many
00:14:22challenges. You will have to face them,
00:14:25and definitely your assigned
00:14:29portfolios, your ministers,
00:14:32your secretaries will brief you on them. So, we'll
00:14:36give you a few days to get briefings in your ministries.
00:14:39What things are good that we can keep, what changes can we bring, what
00:14:43can we do? So, with some passage of
00:14:46time, we will officially take briefings on it,
00:14:49but one thing is that we have to fast-track these things.
00:14:53There is zero tolerance for corruption, and we have to follow
00:14:57things. Not just form committees and then give them a month or two
00:15:00and then forget about them. So, whatever the
00:15:04timing, things will happen according to that timing. If
00:15:07the state, the federation,
00:15:10the people have trusted you, it's so that you
00:15:14deliver and show a difference between the past
00:15:17and today. If you can't show a difference,
00:15:20then there will be no difference between us and the previous ones. Therefore,
00:15:24because the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially those who have
00:15:27been victims of terrorism, and our first point
00:15:31is definitely our law and order, our extremism and
00:15:34terrorism. And there is no doubt about
00:15:38our support for our police,
00:15:45There is no compromise on that, because first and foremost
00:15:49is peace, and then there are other things like development.
00:15:53We will definitely take up these things when
00:15:56you spend a few days in your
00:15:58ministries, and once things
00:16:02You should also get suggestions about what good suggestions exist that
00:16:06we can continue, what other good things are there. And
00:16:12with any province, saying that if this thing is in Punjab, or
00:16:15if this thing is in Sindh, or if this thing is in Balochistan, then I cannot
00:16:19copy it. We can definitely copy good things,
00:16:22we can improve them. Our good things, maybe they will copy
00:16:26them, but it won't be that if Punjab is doing this work, I am not
00:16:29doing it, if Sindh is doing this work, or Balochistan is doing this work, I am not doing
00:16:33this work. We have to follow that, and we also have to do things
00:16:37that maybe they will follow. We have to look at this target, what things
00:16:40we should do, because whenever we go to any corner
00:16:43of Pakistan, anywhere in the world, when we say we are from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the first
00:16:47question asked is about extremism and terrorism. So, that shouldn't happen.
00:16:51We have to build a soft image. We have
00:16:54many natural resources that Allah has given
00:16:58us. We are the province that produces the most
00:17:02gas and oil. We are the
00:17:05second or third largest gas-producing province.
00:17:07We have abundant water. We have cheap electricity.
00:17:11We have mines and mills. We have tourism.
00:17:14We have religious tourism. We have tobacco.
00:17:18We have all these things under one umbrella, which
00:17:22perhaps no other province has to this extent. So, this is an opportunity
00:17:25for us that if, first and foremost, there is peace, if
00:17:29peace comes, then you will have tourists, you will have investors,
00:17:32everyone will come to invest in you. So, Inshallah,
00:17:36I fully support you. I am
00:17:40available for you 24/7. Whenever you need anything
00:17:44in any matter, you approach me, and
00:17:47Inshallah, together we will work for the peace, development, and prosperity
00:17:51of this province. And we also hope from you that you will work
00:17:5524/7 on a fast track so that
00:17:58we can show a result to those who have trusted us, at least
00:18:02to show them a result that we have lived up to your trust.
00:18:06So, these were my suggestions. I also have something for
00:18:09my and for the people
00:18:12of the province. We have also prepared a message from
00:18:16our advisory council. That
00:18:19too, through our advisory
00:18:22council, we will also deliver it to them. And
00:18:25Inshallah, our and your interaction will remain
00:18:28like this.
00:18:40In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. My dear brave, patriotic,
00:18:43and proud people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Assalam
00:18:47Alaikum. Today, I address you not
00:18:50as the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but
00:18:54as a companion who understands the sorrows of this province,
00:18:57its difficulties, and the hopes of
00:19:00its people. Today,
00:19:03in the country and particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
00:19:06in view of an extraordinary situation, certain necessary
00:19:10steps have been taken under the constitution.
00:19:13In today's discourse, I do not
00:19:16want to engage in political debate or blame.
00:19:19My message is only
00:19:23one: to bring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa back to
00:19:26peace, security, stability, and development.
00:19:30My brothers and sisters,
00:19:34the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have paid a very heavy price
00:19:37for terrorism. We have seen
00:19:41our brave police personnel, army soldiers, levies
00:19:44personnel, government employees, scholars,
00:19:48teachers, traders, and ordinary citizens
00:19:51sacrifice their lives. Mothers have
00:19:55lost their sons, children have lost their parents, families
00:19:59have lost their loved ones. Now
00:20:02the time has come that after this sacrifice, the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:20:06should be given peace. Our
00:20:09war is against terrorism. Our
00:20:12war is against that ideology, that network,
00:20:16and that environment that breeds terrorism,
00:20:19that allows terrorism to flourish,
00:20:21that facilitates it, and
00:20:24weakens the rule of law.
00:20:27And I want to state this very clearly.
00:20:31Pashtuns are not the problem of
00:20:35terrorism. The Pashtun people
00:20:38are the biggest victims of terrorism. Therefore,
00:20:42the state is determined that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:20:45will be liberated from terrorists and will be provided
00:20:49an environment where their children
00:20:52can go to school without fear, do business,
00:20:55travel, and dream of
00:20:58their future. My first
00:21:01priority will be peace and the protection
00:21:04of the people. At this time,
00:21:08our biggest priority is effective and coordinated action against
00:21:12For this purpose, the capacity of the police and CTD
00:21:16will be enhanced. The police will be provided with necessary resources, training,
00:21:19technology, intelligence support, and modern
00:21:23equipment and capabilities to combat terrorism,
00:21:26with full attention.
00:21:29We want that a police officer
00:21:33of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should not be alone against
00:21:36a terrorist. The state should stand behind
00:21:39him. We will not abandon our police
00:21:43martyrs and their families either. The second important
00:21:46priority is to improve the writ
00:21:50of the state in the insurgent districts.
00:21:54My brothers and sisters
00:21:57in these areas, you have endured the most difficulties.
00:22:01Terrorism, displacement, lack
00:22:04of basic facilities, and prolonged deprivation
00:22:08have made your life difficult and arduous.
00:22:11Now our focus will be on ensuring
00:22:15that these districts are not just part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:22:19on the map, but also share equally
00:22:22in development, education, health, employment, roads,
00:22:25electricity, water, and administrative facilities.
00:22:28It is the state's duty that where deprivation is greater, there
00:22:32should be greater attention. My third
00:22:34priority will be to provide services to the
00:22:38people. The true test of a government
00:22:41is not statements,
00:22:44but the facilities provided to the people.
00:22:47Our focus will be on government hospitals, schools...
00:23:14We will work towards making the administration accountable and
00:23:17empowering the people. The
00:23:21final but most important priority will be the elimination of the entire
00:23:24ecosystem of terrorism. We cannot solve
00:23:28the problem by merely targeting terrorists.
00:23:31We must also eliminate the facilitators,
00:23:35financial support, recruitment, extremism,
00:23:38extremist networks, illegal weapons,
00:23:41narcotics, illegal movement, and other supporting
00:23:45systems according to the law.
00:23:48Effective implementation of the National
00:23:51Action Plan and all relevant counter-terrorism
00:23:55measures will be our priority.
00:23:58Whoever commits terrorism,
00:24:01the law will take action against them. Whoever
00:24:04facilitates it, the law will
00:24:08also reach them. This action
00:24:12will not be against any nation, language, region,
00:24:15or political affiliation. It will be solely
00:24:19against lawbreakers. My
00:24:21youth, you are the future
00:24:25of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. You do not want a future
00:24:28of terrorism, violence, and deprivation.
00:24:31You want education, employment, sports fields,
00:24:34technology, business opportunities, and a society
00:24:38where you can fulfill your dreams.
00:24:42We will not let your dreams be buried under the shadow of
00:24:45terrorism. It is the responsibility of the state
00:24:49to give our youth not a gun,
00:24:52but a pen, a book, skills, employment,
00:24:56and hope. My elders, mothers, and
00:25:01want to say to those mothers who lost their sons
00:25:04in the war against terrorism: your
00:25:08sacrifices will not be in vain. We assure those families that
00:25:12the state has not forgotten them.
00:25:15I want to assure the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that this
00:25:18extraordinary administrative measure is not intended
00:25:22to target any political party, individual, or
00:25:26segment of society. The objective is only
00:25:29one: to make state institutions effective, restore the rule
00:25:33of law, eliminate terrorism, and provide peace and
00:25:37facilities to the people. Whoever
00:25:40abides by the law will be given full
00:25:44protection. The fundamental rights of
00:25:47every citizen will be respected, and state
00:25:51actions will proceed according to the constitution and law.
00:25:54My dear compatriots, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is our home.
00:25:58This is the land that gave Pakistan brave
00:26:02soldiers, police martyrs, great
00:26:05scholars, teachers, doctors, engineers,
00:26:08traders, athletes, and laborers.
00:26:12We will not let this land remain a land of fear.
00:26:15We will make it a land of peace.
00:26:19We will make it a land of development. We will make
00:26:22it a land of opportunities. And above all, we will make
00:26:26it a safe, stable, and prosperous
00:26:29Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in accordance with the aspirations
00:26:33of its people. I seek your cooperation and assure
00:26:36you that I will stand shoulder to shoulder with all of you
00:26:40to make Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a haven of peace
00:26:43for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, leaving no stone unturned.
00:26:47I request you to report
00:26:50any suspicious activity, terrorism, or facilitation
00:26:53related information to the relevant
00:26:56authorities. Support your police.
00:27:00Remember your martyrs. And give hope
00:27:03to your children. And above all,
00:27:06believe in the future of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:27:10The difficulties are great, but our resolve is even
00:27:14greater. Inshallah, peace will return to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:27:18Inshallah, the writ of the state
00:27:21will be strengthened. Inshallah, the future of our youth
00:27:24will be secure and bright. And Inshallah,
00:27:27Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will again move towards peace, development,
00:27:30and prosperity. Long live Pakistan!
00:27:34Long live Khyber Pakhtunkhwa!
00:27:36Just for your
00:27:39information, along with this
00:27:42speech we gave today, as you were informed,

00:28:48tangible differences with our appointments. The Governor
00:28:51also said that security remains paramount to our commitment. He also said
00:28:55that we should make efforts to eliminate terrorism from the
00:28:58province. The Governor of Pakhtunkhwa
00:29:01said that we should replicate good policies of other
00:29:04provinces. He said that we need to build a soft image for the
00:29:08province. The Governor further stated that we are
00:29:12blessed with numerous resources. We should use them to improve our situation of

00:29:16Pakhtunkhwa.
00:29:21Now we go live to our correspondent Musharraf Zahoor to discuss the key points of
00:29:25this important joint press conference.
00:29:29Mush, welcome to Pakistan TV.

00:29:35with the emergency and with this new advisory council, what how do you
00:29:39see them tackling the situation, security situation in the
00:29:42province? Well, as we have heard

00:29:48KP has just chaired an 11-member
00:29:52advisory council that has been set up immediately after
00:29:55the promulgation of emergency

00:30:28stated that people of Pakhtunkhwa
00:30:31have given immense sacrifices in
00:30:34the fight against terrorism, and it's the right
00:30:37time to give them back. And for that matter,
00:30:41he said that our emphasis would be on
