00:00:07you listen to Sohail Afridi,
00:00:16The business class is the backbone of the country's economy. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif presided over a meeting on the promotion of small and medium-sized businesses.
00:00:20The Prime Minister's loans will be increased from 1.1 rupees to
00:00:232.2 by 2028.
00:00:27The aim is to empower
00:00:34as the Taliban,
00:00:38small and medium-sized business owners.
00:00:40The Prime Minister
00:00:47Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif and Ugandan President Yoweri
00:00:51Kaguta Museveni held a telephonic conversation to further strengthen bilateral relations.
00:00:55They also discussed the latest regional and global
00:00:58situation. Both leaders agreed to maintain close coordination
00:01:02and cooperation on international forums, especially the United Nations.
00:01:05اتفاق۔
00:01:12President Asif Ali Zardari called separate sessions of the National Assembly and
00:01:16Senate. The sessions will be held at 6:15 PM at Parliament House.
00:01:20The current session of the National Assembly will be the 30th session
00:01:24of the 16th Assembly.
00:01:25ہوگا۔
00:01:30infrastructure, all such facilities.
00:01:54with construction,
00:02:12keep them wherever you want.
00:02:24are these matters moving forward?
00:02:32they ever condemned it?
00:02:56against Pakistan.
00:03:19flowers on the head.
00:03:34Khyber Pakhtunkhwa observed a "Day of Salvation" on the implementation of the emergency,
00:03:38welcoming the federal government's decision. People are very happy with the federal government's decision to implement the emergency.
00:03:42PTI did not have a sense of governmental responsibilities. The federal government imposed an emergency in the province and saved us from PTI.
00:03:45Public opinion.
00:03:49رائے۔
00:03:55Fabricated and misleading claims on social media about insecurity
00:03:58in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:04:09entire administration, provincial
00:04:24But they abandoned this
00:04:27the Chief Minister and
00:04:30the Punjab Forensic Lab and NADRA.
00:04:48the indictment is to take place. you hold negotiations,
00:04:55And the talk of mischief and
00:06:12The advisory body that was established there, the committee,
00:06:16had its first day of work today. The
00:06:19committee also met, and we saw that Governor
00:06:23Faisal Karim Kundi
00:06:25was in action, meaning he was seen making
00:06:29decisions to use his powers and ensure
00:06:32peace and order. The big news that came
00:06:36from there is that the decision to increase
00:06:40police salaries has also been made, and along
00:06:44with that, the package for the martyrs of the forces
00:06:47is also being increased. It has also been clearly and unequivocally
00:06:51stated by them that now all
00:06:54decisions regarding Peshawar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:06:58will come from Islamabad, from the federation. They will
00:07:01no longer come from Jalalabad or Kabul instead of Islamabad.
00:07:05This policy will be made right there.
00:07:09We also saw that Federal Interior Minister Mohsin
00:07:13Naqvi, who was present there, received 10 bulletproof
00:07:16vehicles for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. You may recall that earlier,
00:07:20the federation had given three vehicles, and the
00:07:23former Chief Minister had kicked them away,
00:07:27saying that we do not need these vehicles.
00:07:30After that, it was found that there were no
00:07:34bulletproof vehicles in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:07:37to take action against terrorists. So, on the very first day,
00:07:41it was announced that the filth of
00:07:4413 years would be cleaned up in three months.
00:07:48Along with this, the big news is that
00:07:51zero tolerance for corruption has also been announced.
00:07:55And this announcement has not only been made, but it has
00:07:59also been said that those who committed corruption
00:08:02during the 13 years of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government, there was a lot of talk about corruption
00:08:06there, and many big stories were broken in this regard.
00:08:09Their arrests will also take place. This news has also been confirmed.
00:08:13The Federal Information Minister has also said, and Faisal
00:08:17Karim Kundi, who is the Governor, has also said that former Chief Minister
00:08:21Sohail Afridi is currently in protective custody.
00:08:24In fact, it is also being confirmed that eight leaders, including him,
00:08:28are in protective custody. It was being asked whether
00:08:32Sohail Afridi would be indicted
00:08:35in connection with May 9. The answer to that was
00:08:39that the advisory committee, which has been established
00:08:42in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, will make that decision. You can consider
00:08:46it a cabinet that is working there at the moment.
00:08:49The commitment we are seeing there
00:08:53regarding peace and order, the way work is starting
00:08:56to appear, on the first working day today, the way
00:09:00policy decisions were made, the way decisions
00:09:04were made there, and then the strategy that was
00:09:08delivered afterwards, it is estimated that things will
00:09:11improve greatly. They will start because the basis
00:09:15is that if your provincial government, that provincial
00:09:18government under which the
00:09:22administration, and along with that, your administration is
00:09:26present at the divisional and district levels, if it
00:09:30receives a clear message that you are not to give way to Fitna-e-Khawarij,
00:09:33and the बात that is spoken of, that in the government
00:09:36of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf,
00:09:40the party, under their patronage,
00:09:42regularly collected protection money. They established their rule there.
00:09:46They had a government there. They would not allow the opponents
00:09:49of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, especially other political
00:09:53parties, to carry out political activity. In contrast, it was Pakistan
00:09:57Tehreek-e-Insaf that carried out political activity there.
00:10:00You saw how this long march was also taken
00:10:04to the southern districts.
00:10:08unrest is that it was not just the districts of former
00:10:11FATA, but the matter had reached Karak and then
00:10:15further to Kohat. Now, various propagandas are being
00:10:19spread, and it is being said that this Governor's
00:10:22Rule has been imposed unconstitutionally. The government is responding
00:10:26to this at every level. A press conference was held yesterday,
00:10:30and a seminar was also organized today. All questions
00:10:34were answered there. It is absolutely constitutional and legal.
00:10:38The government has clarified this. It is in accordance
00:10:41with the constitution and law. Then it was said that
00:10:44there would be a very big reaction in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
00:10:47So, it has also become clear that when
00:10:51opponents and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf used to say
00:10:55that the current government, accusations
00:10:58were made against it regarding elections, and it was
00:11:01repeatedly said that we are the true democratic
00:11:05people's party that is in power there,
00:11:09then its true nature was revealed. They were so democratic,
00:11:13they had such a correct mandate, that no one came out
00:11:16for them. No eye shed tears.
00:11:20Only their own ministers were seen shedding tears.
00:11:23After losing power, there was no formal protest
00:11:27anywhere, nor could any slogans
00:11:31be raised. Attempts were made in one or two places,
00:11:35but there were so few people that they were not
00:11:38even seen. And so, what was being said, that Governor's
00:11:42Rule cannot be imposed here, has also been revealed.
00:11:46Surely, people want a government that brings peace for them.
00:11:50That brings employment for them. That brings health, education,
00:11:55But in contrast, if someone brings strife, brings chaos,
00:11:59brings war, brings insecurity, all those
00:12:02things that you can say are miscreancy
00:12:05that make the future of their children unsafe,
00:12:09then people cannot go with him. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:12:12has made its decision. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
00:12:16is with peace,
00:12:19with development, and absolutely, Punjab Chief
00:12:23Minister Maryam Nawaz reacted today on social media.
00:12:26She rightly said that the people have
00:12:30given their reaction, and they want construction and
00:12:34development like what is present in Punjab.
00:12:37They want peace, they want schools, they want hospitals,
00:12:40they want improvement in infrastructure, they want health and sanitation.
00:12:44They do not want what is present there. How
00:12:49How can they move forward? And especially regarding terrorism,
00:12:53what should the government do?
00:12:57Because one thing I keep saying is that this is not
00:13:01power for Muslim League-N and Pakistan Peoples Party.
00:13:05This is a challenge. This is a test.
00:13:08This is a responsibility that you have to bring peace
00:13:12to those people who have been victims of insecurity for decades.
00:13:16This is a big challenge because Pakistan Peoples Party
00:13:20has a government in Sindh. Muslim League-N has a government
00:13:23in Punjab. The government should not have any desire
00:13:27at all. In a province where 12 districts are currently,
00:13:31you could say, war-torn. So, this is not,
00:13:34I think, a matter of taking pride. This is not a matter
00:13:38of taking convenience. This is not a crown of
00:13:44Rather, this is a garland of thorns. We have to move forward with it.
00:13:47What should the government do? How were today's decisions?
00:13:51How was the first day? We will review it, and for
00:13:55that, I am grateful to us for joining us,
00:13:59very senior and seasoned people who have a deep understanding
00:14:03of these things. Brigadier (Rtd) Masood Ahmed Sahib. I will thank
00:14:06him for being with us. Along with him, Mr. Arshad
00:14:10Aziz Malik Sahib, a senior analyst, is joining us.
00:14:14He is a former president of the Peshawar Press Club. Just a few days ago, he was
00:14:17with me in the program, and he was telling me
00:14:21that when Governor Rule was imposed, even his MPs would not leave their homes.
00:14:25I expressed surprise then, and today, we will discuss
00:14:28his analysis as well. Qurban Baloch Sahib is also
00:14:32joining us. He is a senior political analyst and has
00:14:36a deep understanding of all matters. First, let's get a little
00:14:40bit of news about how today went, what happened
00:14:42in the background, and this protest that was being threatened
00:14:46so much, that there would be a revolution, a tsunami
00:14:50would come, destruction would be wreaked. But not
00:14:53even a bird flew there.
00:14:55Mr. Arshad Aziz Malik, what news do you have for us?
00:14:59The news is that in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, all situations
00:15:02are normal. There was a very
00:15:06big demonstration in Peshawar, and there were only
00:15:1020 people in it. When the police came closer,
00:15:13they all ran away. So, a police officer was telling
00:15:17me, "I thought there would be some brave person here
00:15:20who would stand up. These were only 15-20
00:15:24people, and they also ran away. So, what should we do?"
00:15:28I said, "Keep waiting, Mr. Najam." The thing is that you
00:15:31used to make big claims and raise big slogans,
00:15:35saying that we would bring a revolution here. Now, if
00:15:39you listen to Mr. Khatak, you listen to Mr. Shafiq Jan,
00:15:45you will say that there should have been a very
00:15:48big commotion in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa today. I mean,
00:15:51no one came out in the whole province. You can imagine
00:15:54from this that this is it. Anyway,
00:15:58then I ask, leave the public aside. I had told you in the previous
00:16:02program that the public is not interested in this.
00:16:06These are just workers. I just ask where those
00:16:10people went who had 92 MPs, okay? They had
00:16:14a cabinet of 30 members, about 35 parliamentary
00:16:17secretaries. They enjoyed themselves for two and a half years.
00:16:21Where did those people go? They should have come and demonstrated,
00:16:24made sacrifices, got arrested, taken some beatings.
00:16:28But they all hid, they all disappeared. And you know,
00:16:31the workers are sending messages asking where our leaders
00:16:35went who were saying that we have to demonstrate
00:16:38now, we have to come out. But they themselves have disappeared.
00:16:42Now what should we do here? So, you can imagine that
00:16:46people were not interested at all. I was repeatedly saying that
00:16:50look, this long march that they were threatening, I had
00:16:53said earlier that there is no preparation, people
00:16:57are not ready. Now, when they brought this long march
00:17:01to various places, their own
00:17:28What is the situation? It seems that many people will be crushed and arrested. Mr. Najam,
00:17:31there are two or three types of people here. One
00:17:35type are those who
00:17:37have been displaced from Islamabad and Punjab and have taken
00:17:41refuge here. They will be caught, of course. First,
00:17:45they should be handed over to you so that you can
00:17:50Second, there are those who have cases against them,
00:17:54May 9th cases. Many cases are ongoing
00:17:58against them in Islamabad courts, which you may remember
00:18:01were related to when these people came on November 26th.
00:18:04Then there are cases related to October. They were all
00:18:08sitting here and not going there. So, there are those cases
00:18:12against them. Then the third important thing
00:18:16is the corruption charges. Of course, these people
00:18:20were sitting here, and when we would bring up a corruption
00:18:23case, they would say that we were just doing it to them.
00:18:27However, all cases are now with NAB, and NAB
00:18:31is investigating them. So, in the coming days,
00:18:34I think there will be a big crackdown, and those who
00:18:38are involved in these corruptions, look, they took bribes,
00:18:41kickbacks, ate commissions. So, all of that will come
00:18:45out in the cases. And of course, now they
00:18:49will not be able to say that they didn't do it
00:18:52because there will be evidence, right? You will show
00:18:56that look, you did this. Did you commit corruption or
00:19:00not? So, all these things, Mr. Najam, I was just saying
00:19:03that look, people voted for you. What did they
00:19:07vote for? That you would bring peace to the province.
00:19:10You brought neither peace nor governance.
00:19:14Why didn't you do some governance? There is no drinking water anywhere.
00:19:18If you go to the South, you will be surprised
00:19:21where you have come. Our entire region
00:19:24and merged areas. So, you neither provided
00:19:28governance nor peace. Your whole day was
00:19:32spent saying that you didn't have time because
00:19:35you had to run a movement.
00:19:38You spent the whole year running that movement. We also have to go
00:19:41in that direction, but another important thing that came
00:19:45to light today is that Sohail Afridi is in protective
00:19:48custody, and he may also be indicted in the
00:19:52May 9th cases. What is the situation regarding this?
00:19:56Look, he already has a May 9th case against him.
00:19:59The prosecution, since the court had ordered a forensic
00:20:02examination of the videos and other evidence from
00:20:08Their report had come, but since the prosecution
00:20:11was with them, these people were not submitting it.
00:20:15Then the court asked the police to submit it with all
00:20:18the evidence. So, the police have now submitted it on the
00:20:22last hearing, and now
00:20:26So, that process is almost ready. Then, along with
00:20:29that, look, the contemptuous threats they made against
00:20:33the Election Commission, that case is also pending there. Then the Islamabad
00:21:20Although Maulana himself belongs to the same sect
00:21:24his previous statement was discussed a lot.
00:21:27Despite that, it was said that you can do it, sir.
00:21:31Why was Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf so adamant on the issue
00:21:35of terrorism that they were not willing to budge
00:21:39from the idea that we will follow the state's
00:21:43policy, we will allow the use of force there,
00:22:20were martyred, and the way they had many capacity-building
00:22:24issues, the question was, what was their policy
00:22:27during 13 years in government? What did you do in 13 years?
00:22:31You initially talked about a political
00:22:34solution to the Fitna-e-Khawarij in Pakistan.
00:22:37Then we saw
00:22:40some of them come with weapons. After that,
00:22:43an incident happened in Swat where a Major and a DSP
00:22:46abducted them.
00:23:22We never saw them condemn anything. Did you ever see
00:23:25them at funerals, except for one or two? They
00:23:28were not at other funerals. We never saw them offering
00:23:32condolences there. When drone attacks were happening,
00:23:35they never said that these are coming from Afghanistan.
00:23:39170 drone attacks happened, and this year, drone attacks
00:23:42increased by 17 percent
00:23:46Besides that, you see the formations.
00:24:20while Afghanistan is at your door, trying to destabilize
00:24:24you, and these so-called Pakistani Muslims
00:24:27are collaborating with infidel Hindus to destabilize Pakistan.
00:24:31When they themselves say that their DNA is the same,
00:24:35then I don't think we need to comment anymore.
00:24:39So, in this case, did you ever try to delay
00:24:42the process of sending back the illegal Afghans
00:24:45who are living in Pakistan, more than three million
00:24:49people? Did you dismantle
00:25:20In seven such attacks, the police stations
00:25:24or police checkpoints were attacked because they
00:25:27were openly exposed. The incident that happened
00:25:31in Lucky Marwat or Tak, because they didn't have protection
00:25:35equipment, they couldn't defend themselves, so they easily
00:25:38became targets.
00:25:40In this, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf,
00:25:43which runs a whole propaganda war, creates another confusion.
00:25:47Sohail Afridi himself used to take this stance,
00:25:51Shafiq Jan used to do it, other people used to do it,
00:25:54that sir, why are you putting it on us? Why do you say
00:25:58it to us? We are a provincial government. This is
00:26:01cross-border terrorism, insurgencies. All these things
00:26:05are cross-border. It is the responsibility of the federal
00:26:08government to deal with it. The provincial government had
00:26:12no responsibility in this, no condition of cooperation
00:26:16was needed. The provincial administration, district administration,
00:26:19commissioner level, division level, all these things,
00:26:23they had no role in it. This was not a priority.
00:26:27There was a lack of ownership and cooperation with the security
00:26:31forces. It was 100% like that.
00:28:02was openly attacking, and you were not
00:28:06even ready to condemn anything by naming
00:28:09them. In my opinion, in these circumstances,
00:28:13you see, it's true, Mr. Masood, that
00:28:17what can be said about the provincial government?
00:28:21In this, every citizen has to play their part.
00:28:24And when it comes to national security,
00:28:27every individual has to play their role. But I
00:28:31still don't understand, Mr. Qurban Baloch, you have a deep
00:28:35insight into politics and political parties. This
00:28:39was a safe haven for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
00:28:42And if they wanted to do something for the founder
00:28:46of PTI, launch a movement, put pressure, bargain,
00:28:50make demands, they could have done it on the
00:28:54basis of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Sir, what foolishness did
00:28:57they commit? Did they not realize? Did they
00:29:01not know about Article
00:29:10I think their emotional decisions,
00:29:13overconfident decisions, and the decisions
00:29:17due to the lack of a chain of command in
00:29:21their party or in politics have not only troubled
00:29:25Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, their voters, and their people,
00:29:27but I think they have also created difficulties
00:29:31for the state. The emergency, Governor's Rule, was a
00:29:34bitter pill. Government ministers are also saying
00:29:38this, and for any political party, democratic
00:29:41parties, it was not a favorable decision.
00:29:45And for journalists, as a public, it was
00:29:48not a good decision that once again,
00:29:51such a message would go to the world about
00:29:55Pakistan, which is constitutional but not democratic,
00:29:57or not about public participation.
00:30:01You will remember that when
00:30:04a no-confidence motion was brought against the government
00:30:08of the founding chairman of Tehreek-e-Insaf,
00:30:12after that, they also made similar emotional decisions.
00:30:16They left the parliament, although parliament was their
00:30:19stronghold, whether it was the Punjab Assembly, the
00:30:23National Assembly, or the Senate.
00:30:26entire field and then sat on the ground,
00:30:30and all public relations and relations with the media,
00:30:33relations with state institutions, they all
00:30:36ended. And they saw the results of that,
00:30:40and they are still suffering from them.
00:30:43I am surprised, I am surprised
00:30:45that
00:30:49you insist that the march
00:30:52will happen. The two days of negotiations,
00:30:55I was also there, and we sat for almost
00:30:5910-10 hours.
