00:06:28Earlier brigider retired defense analyst spoke to
00:06:32Pakistan TV to discuss deputy prime minister and foreign minister's
00:06:36address and information minister Tar's address and the Institute of
00:06:40Strategic Studies Islamabad. Let's see what he had to. say as far
00:06:44as the Afghanistan is concerned, so naturally Balochistan and
00:06:47KP are bordering Afghanistan, and the border
00:06:51is of course very rugged and more so it has
00:06:55been faced by Pakistan, but still the centuries are
00:06:59there and more so once the support from the Afghan regime is there to
00:07:03these terrorist groups, so they breach this fence and come
00:07:07to Pakistan and conduct attacks against the civilian and security forces
00:07:11and Again they flew back
00:07:13to to to Afghanistan and this
00:07:17support is open, they are being given weapons, they are being given
00:07:21training and more so the financial support is coming
00:07:24from Hindustan, fitnatul Hindustan as well as
00:07:28to this khawarij and this is a sort
00:07:31of policy the Afghan government,
00:07:34otherwise deputy prime minister said that we have got
00:07:37trilateral trucks with the Afghan regime along
00:07:40with the... china, they will not budge
00:07:44because so many diplomatic efforts were made in this respect, but the
00:07:48afghan regime is not desisting, are not
00:07:51cooperating a way so that to put hold on these
00:07:55terrorist groups which are on the afghan and that more than
00:07:58about 20,000 these
00:08:02terrorists are there in various camps, various areas
00:08:05and they are facilitated and given professional
00:08:09treatment.
00:08:13federal minister for information and
00:08:15broadcasting
00:08:18there was a breakdown of governance and terrorists for destroying people's
00:08:22livelihoods. talking exclusively to Pakistan TV, the
00:08:26federal minister for information and broadcasting said federal government imposed
00:08:29emergency in the province under valid constitutional
00:08:32clauses.
00:08:36Mr. Sir, thank you so much for joining us. DPM
00:08:40a speech just said what happened in kp imposing the
00:08:43governor rule was not a political move, but there are
00:08:47other thoughts that you know there was a
00:08:51two-third majority of a party called PTI at was thrown
00:08:55out, how do you justify the governor rule being
00:08:59imposed there? the 1973 constitution of Pakistan
00:09:02has valid clauses with regard to imposition of
00:09:06emergency and imposition of governor's rule.
00:09:09now once the framers the constitution...
00:09:13intended the use these clauses in dire
00:09:16circumstances, so constitutional
00:09:19provision exists, whenever there's a breakdown of governance, whenever there is a
00:09:23collapse, that is the time when
00:09:26such clauses are invoked, so I
00:09:30think with regard to terrorism, there was a surge in terrorism for the
00:09:33past many years, PTI
00:09:37government has been there in KPK for the past 13 and a half years
00:09:41and they failed. to take any credible steps to eradicate terrorism, in
00:09:45fact they were hand in glove with the terrorist, terrorist infrastructures
00:09:48were being promoted in
00:09:50and in the south districts, in many areas terrorists had been given
00:09:54complete ingress, terrorists were manning police stations, they
00:09:58were there in the administration after
00:10:01nightfall, and i think there was a
00:10:04sympathy with the Taliban, with the TTP, with the
00:10:08prescribed organizations by the PTI government, now the national
00:10:11finance Yes, since 2010 has given 1%
00:10:15of his share to the KPK government, which now amounts to, after so many
00:10:19years, amounts to 800 million, 800 billion rupees, now
00:10:23where has this so the setup? which is in place right now,
00:10:27will they be looking into where
00:10:29the that money has gone? they absolutely should, and it's not my place to tell them
00:10:33if they should or they should not, i think it's a very very competent setup,
00:10:36very as I must say non-partisan
00:10:40setup, very professional people with accuman,
00:10:44with skill, with integrity, with experience, with qualification, these
00:10:47people are their integrity and their competence is
00:10:51beyond any doubt, so I think there was a break. of
00:10:55governance, terrorists were roaming about the districts,
00:10:59killing people, destroying their livelihoods, so I
00:11:03think once these terrorists were gaining ingress with the help and
00:11:07support the PTI government and the chief minister, that is
00:11:10when this emergency has been imposed and it
00:11:14has been imposed through valid constitutional clause and
00:11:18as result we have seen that there have been no protest in
00:11:22the province of used to claim
00:11:26that if there is such eventuality where emergencies imposed,
00:11:29millions of people would come on the streets, so we have not seen one
00:11:33credible protest in the entire province, in fact people have
00:11:37welcomed this step because they have seen that the new advisory council is based on
00:11:41professionals is based on non-partisan people based on people
00:11:44who are from the soil oftunkwah and want the betterment the people of
00:11:48so honorable minister, the federal
00:11:52government have associated the b with the
00:11:56TTP and the other terrorist organizations,
00:11:59so do you have any evidence? number one, there is
00:12:02one argument that they have been doing the long marches in the
00:12:06districts where the army and police
00:12:09cannot go,
00:12:12and they requested the terrorist for safe passage,
00:12:16yes, we have lot of credible evidence on our hands which
00:12:19shows this unholy alliance, this collusion the PTI,
00:12:23KPK government and the... in fact all political
00:12:27parties have given sacrifices and you know we wish safety for
00:12:30PTI, but they had asked the terrorists to give their
00:12:34march safe passage through
00:12:35the districts where ordinary citizens cannot pass, where other political parties
00:12:39representatives cannot pass, so I think they were
00:12:43not only supportive the terrorists, they were in fact promoting these terrorists, you
00:12:47see, I went to kohart, I visited the home of a martered
00:12:50policeman and his father said to me that we are ready to fight this fight, but the
00:12:54government... of KPK is not supporting us, I went to the hospital, I
00:12:58met the injured and their resolved and determination to fight against
00:13:02terrorism, you know, it's it's stronger than ever, the people of
00:13:05Khabar Pakhton have given innumerable sacrifices, valuable
00:13:09sacrifices against this war, but we had a government
00:13:13which was you know promoting terrorists and enabling them
00:13:17to carry out these attacks, they did not do any capacity building for the
00:13:20police, for the CTT, to install safety cameras all across KPK
00:13:24to... forensic lab to give equipment to the police, in fact whenever federal
00:13:28government tried to give any equipment they returned it back, so I think it's it was very sorry state of
00:13:32affairs and I would take good, you had given
00:13:36negotiations a chance of course, if
00:13:40they hadn't opted for the long march, would the federal
00:13:43government still had gone for so I think
00:13:47the imposing we we gave negotiations, lot of room
00:13:51a lot of chance, we had long plays going on, but they were never serious, they us agree to one
00:13:55thing and then they used to you know just turn back on their word. we had
00:13:59only one agenda, that was counter terrorism, eradication of terrorism and serious
00:14:03efforts on part the provincial government to counter terrorism. had
00:14:07they carried on with the long march, we don't care. we had only one agenda that
00:14:11please fight against these terrorists and bring a counter terrorism policy. other than that we
00:14:15are no danger. thank you.
00:14:18governor khibar, faisal karem kundi and interior minister muh have
00:14:22said that eradicating terrorism is the government's top. priority stressing that fight
00:14:26against terrorism cannot be won without the provincial government taking the
00:14:30lead. while co-chairing the meeting of apex committee, they stated that federal
00:14:34government and provincial government are on the same page and fight against terrorism and all the
00:14:37requirements of law enforcement agencies will be met.
00:14:41they say the PTI government failed to eradicate terrorism in the
00:14:45province.
