00:01:30that they ensure that there is no interference in this regard. No violent group
00:01:33will come to Islamabad. The administration,
00:01:37police, Interior Minister, and the entire government are absolutely
00:01:40clear.
00:01:43No violent group will be allowed
00:01:46is to enter Islamabad. The administration will ensure
00:01:49compliance with court orders. The people of Jamaat-e-Islami are peaceful and sensible.
00:01:53This was stated by Minister for Information
00:01:55and Broadcasting.
00:02:01Due to regional tensions, oil prices are continuously rising. In the current
00:02:04situation, the Prime Minister has launched a special relief program for the middle
00:02:08and poor classes. This special scheme is exclusively for the common man.
00:02:12So far, 2.2 million people have registered under the scheme. Minister
00:02:15of Information, Atta
00:02:20continues from stability to economic growth.
00:02:23Foreign exchange reserves are reaching a record high
00:02:27in the country's history. Unfortunately, the situation in the Middle East
00:02:30is being most affected. Enemy forces are behind the terrorism
00:02:34in the country. Disruption in economic activities is causing billions
00:02:38of rupees in losses. Federal Minister
00:02:41of Finance, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb,

00:02:47Implementation of the Prime Minister's special petrol relief scheme is underway,
00:02:51including motorcycles, rickshaws, and Qingqi rickshaws older than 20 years.
00:02:54All motorcycles, rickshaws, and Qingqi rickshaws registered after January 1,
00:02:582006, are included in the relief scheme.
00:03:17Mohsin Naqvi himself and MPAs there, and they are under pressure
00:03:30to spread chaos and destruction. Junaid Dukhbar's statement reflects the intention to spread chaos
00:03:34and destruction. There is a fear of violence and bloodshed under the guise
00:03:37of protest. We will not allow roads to be blocked or public
00:03:40life to be affected. This was the response of Minister of Information and Broadcasting
00:03:44Attaullah Tarar to Junaid's provocative
00:03:45statement.
00:03:50and sheltered Afghans for five generations, sharing our limited resources with them.
00:03:5470 to 80% of the terrorists who attack our mosques, schools,
00:03:57markets, and army are Afghans.
00:04:33to it.
00:05:00Approximately, we will incur a loss of
00:05:02120 billion rupees on a daily
00:05:05basis.
00:05:08We are not those who spread chaos. We are not those who take the law into our own hands.
00:06:13On the other hand, sources from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
00:06:16have claimed that Aleema Khan has also been
00:06:19arrested under the 3MPO and transferred to jail.
00:06:23Where is the country's politics headed?
00:06:27And the most important question is whether the opposition
00:06:30will achieve its objectives through long marches and protests. These
00:06:34are some important questions that we will try to review in our program today
00:06:38and present to our guests. We have senior journalist Zaheer Shah
00:06:41Siraji with us.
00:08:04If you look at it, it clearly states
00:08:07that you will not cause road disruptions, you will not
00:08:10create law and order issues, you will not go towards traffic diversions,
00:08:14and along with that, the directives have been issued to the provincial
00:08:18government by the Chief Secretary in another order, which
00:08:21see, at this time, the Tehreek-e-Insaf's march will mostly rely on
00:08:24Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. There are its MNA's
00:08:28to bring 5,000 people each, so we will gather 1 million people
00:08:31and march. First, I will come
00:08:35to the Jamaat-e-Islami's march. Has the court really issued
00:08:38such a directive regarding this march as well?
00:10:25the law and order situation in the country, the other anarchy within
00:10:28the country, look at your borders, look at your financial situation,
00:10:32look at the factories. Today, if Islamabad is closed and containers
00:10:38a message that there will be no business for the entire week
00:10:41in the federal capital. Estimate the 120
00:10:45billion dollar loss.
00:10:51per day. You can see the factory losses.
00:11:25Coming back to my original question, and I'm also bringing it to Mr. Paracha.
00:11:29Mr. Paracha, you must have seen Barrister Gohar's tweet,
00:11:32in which it is being said that regarding the possible
00:11:35arrest of Ms. Aleema Khan, he said that Ms. Naureen Niazi
00:11:39told him that she has been arrested.
00:11:43At a time when the government is saying
00:11:47that we have no threat from them, then arresting
00:11:50her under 3MPO, the question I was asking
00:11:54Mr. Shirazi is, don't you think that the government itself
00:11:57is giving them the impetus that they desperately need for this march,
00:12:01desperately need? The government itself is providing the opportunity to become
00:12:05a political martyr, saying, "Look, our women are being picked up at this time."
00:12:09And if there is no threat from us,
00:12:21there was no threat, then there wouldn't be these containers.
00:12:25If there was no threat, then there wouldn't be containers
00:12:28in the city. You are in Islamabad right now. Every square
00:12:32in Islamabad, every main road, has containers
00:12:35standing on it. But whether
00:12:39three marches are coming, or two, or one march, it's just
00:12:42one march, and that's the PTI march. And the Islamabad
00:12:46High Court's
00:12:48decision came in that context,
00:12:52didn't it? Because of the PTI's march. Just the Chief Minister
00:12:55of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa also announced
00:12:59that he would come on the 27th. The meeting that took place yesterday
00:13:03with the Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Ain Pakistan people. Yes. So the
00:13:06reports that came from there through sources about that meeting,
00:13:10and then in that, the Tahafuz-e-Ain Pakistan
00:13:13people also asked why they weren't consulted when they made the announcement.
00:13:17No plan has even come out yet as to what the plan
00:13:20is. For example, will they come and sit there? How many days
00:13:24will they sit? Will they hold a rally and leave? No such
00:13:28announcement has been made. However, after the Islamabad High
00:13:31Court's decision, the government has clearly
00:13:35given its plan of action. The government has said.
00:13:38And Interior Minister
00:13:42said in a press conference that the forces have been ordered
00:13:46to stop them at all costs. Yes. These arrests
00:13:49are also a link in the same chain.
00:13:52So they also have to be stopped. they don't give up because
00:14:55you know, all of us know that at this time, it's a do-or-die
00:14:58situation for Sohail Afridi. He has to come. He has to come to prove
00:15:02himself. He was given this position because he was a champion
00:15:06of sorts. If he comes out
00:15:08and reaches Islamabad, do you think a constitutional
00:15:12crisis might also be in the offing? The Governor,
00:15:16who we are talking about today, see, Dr. Maryam, first of all,
00:15:19what they wanted to achieve,
00:15:23you helped them achieve whatever they wanted to achieve
00:15:27by fully supporting them. done.
00:15:30You put up containers
00:15:34in Punjab. they are being arrested. But there's
00:20:07another angle
00:20:10That is, after the Islamabad High Court's order,
00:20:14the Interior Minister, Mohsin Naqvi,
00:20:17said that they would stop them at all costs and told
00:20:21the forces. So then it's not like you let
00:20:24their leadership come to 26 Number, to Faizabad,
00:20:28to T-Chowk, Rawat, and then you say
00:20:32that we will stop them here. Then wherever someone is caught,
00:20:36they will be stopped right there, as they say. Both sides'
00:20:39perspectives are important in their own place.
00:20:43For example, PTI says that protesting under
00:20:47the constitution is our right, and the government
00:20:50should itself make arrangements for peaceful protests.
00:20:53On the other hand, the government says that their
00:20:57past record has not been peaceful at all.
00:21:00Whenever PTI came to protest, there was
00:21:04violence, and bloodshed.
00:21:06And after that, incidents also happened
00:21:10at 26 Number, or at D-Chowk, which were very unfortunate
00:21:13incidents. So the question arises, it is very important
00:21:17for us to see this. I
00:21:20was saying earlier, maybe my voice was not reaching properly, that until
00:21:24now, PTI has not shown its plan,
00:21:27its strategy, its plan,
00:21:31that they will come and sit in Islamabad,
00:21:35hold a sit-in, hold a rally. And if
00:21:38they hold a sit-in, how many days will it be for? Where will they sit?
00:21:42The second thing is that during the PDM era, a law
00:21:45was made regarding political gatherings in Islamabad.
00:21:49That any political party that wants to hold
00:21:53a gathering here should first sit with the local administration,
00:21:56negotiate, and sit at the allocated
00:22:00place for as many days as they want
00:22:03to sit. But
00:22:06when their protest came, a place was
00:22:10allocated in H-8 and H-9, where Maulana
00:22:13Fazlur Rehman used to sit. He also had thousands of people
00:22:17with him. But exactly according to the agreement,
00:22:20he sat there, and from there, when Pervez Elahi said that
00:22:24after some give and take, they sent them back by making
00:22:28promises. But when PTI made an agreement,
00:22:32they still said that they would reach D-Chowk. Now the problem with D-Chowk
00:22:36that there is a diplomatic enclave
00:22:40here, with more than a hundred embassies. God
00:22:43forbid, if some unruly
00:22:46element goes in that direction, then what?
00:22:58where the protesters and these long marchers have to be stopped and kept somewhere. I believe
00:23:02that the responsibility of diplomats,
00:23:05whether it's diplomatic staff or other vital installations
00:23:09like the Foreign Office, Supreme Court, Prime Minister's Secretariat
00:23:12is greater, because in the 2014 sit-ins,
00:23:15judges were unable to enter the Supreme Court from the front
00:23:19gate.
00:23:26When you have these examples, then you definitely have to see.
00:23:29And then the statements that came today that we will
00:23:33make Islamabad Somnath, what does that
00:23:36mean? I didn't understand that statement. When they say
00:23:40that we will make it Somnath,
00:23:50that used to say that we will be buried. We have come with shrouds. You know,
00:23:54last time also there was talk of shrouds and burials. Then after that, it went from
00:23:572 million to 4 million. Then it was said that it was rhetorical enthusiasm.
00:24:00Look, God
00:24:04forbid, if even one life is lost, God forbid,
00:24:07whether it's a PTI worker or a Ranger's
00:24:11soldier. Yes, for whatever reason, I am not
00:24:15blaming anyone, because if some things come
00:24:19to light, then we will know. For example, PTI itself
00:24:22claims that 14 of our people were martyred. Who
00:24:25were they? They were Pakistani citizens, weren't they? They were someone's
00:24:29children, they were someone's siblings, they would be someone's
00:24:33parents. I am saying
00:24:35that if even one life is lost, if even one life
00:24:39is lost, an innocent political worker comes, what happened
00:24:42to him? Or the Rangers' soldiers were martyred at 26 Number
00:24:46for some reason, they are gone. Don't take
00:24:48these statements seriously. Look at the experiences,
00:24:51look at the precedents, look at the examples,
00:24:55did lives go in the incidents that happened or not?
00:24:59That is, the same graves that were dug in the 2014
00:25:02sit-ins, the shrouds that were kept, the night
00:25:06between August 30 and 31, four
00:25:10or five people died that night, didn't they? Whether they fell
00:25:13into a ditch, whether it was due to violence, I don't know, I'm not
00:25:17taking anyone's side. For me, it's important.
00:26:32they will bring revolution and they are very enthusiastic, they are very brave,
00:26:36they are single-minded. So today, you see, they talked
00:26:39about Somnath, that if our people are shot,
00:26:43we will not run away with the bodies, we will bring more people.
00:26:47If a bullet is fired, we will respond to a bullet with a bullet. You
00:26:50are giving these speeches on stage to the children of the poor.
00:26:54But it is worth thinking about how many people will come with you. Doctor
00:26:58Sahab, another question is, does Sohail Afridi Sahab believe
00:27:01at this time that the entire party is behind him, the young leader
00:27:05or the young voter of Tehreek-e-Insaf?
00:27:08At this time, you see that the leadership of Tehreek-e-Insaf
00:27:12is with its youth.
00:27:16who are ruling at this time, whether it is Shafiq Jan,
00:27:20whether it is Meena Khan, whether it is your Sohail Afridi,
00:27:24then you understand that you have sidelined the first-tier leadership, whether it was Asad Qaiser
00:27:27and his influence, or whether it was Ali Amin Gandapur. Now you also see
00:27:31within the province that 20
00:29:03and talks are also being held. But my personal opinion is that PTI's
00:29:06protest will go up to the border of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
00:29:10whether it goes from the Swabi side or from the Khushalgarh side.
00:29:13You will hold sit-ins there, block roads. Of course, you will try
00:29:17to give a message to the people that we are respecting
00:29:21the court's order and we hope from the courts
00:29:24that they will give us relief. So I also, as
00:29:27the backchannel diplomacy is happening right now,
00:29:30Mohsin Naqvi is engaged.
00:29:35He can endorse this more, that he met Barrister Gohar and it was also discussed that a meeting with Imran Khan should be arranged. If
00:29:38that happens, I think it's not bad. You should diffuse
00:29:42this situation. If taking him to the hospital improves
00:29:46the matter, the political
00:29:49polarization environment here, such a heated environment,
00:29:52if it calms down, then it's better, because look, on the other hand, look at the situation
00:29:56in Balochistan, at this time, in both
00:29:59of your provinces, you cannot do it.
