00:30This is such a big possibility. Is any kind of consensus possible at this point in time?
00:36We will discuss this as well.
00:38Finally, why was there no action taken on NAP 1?
00:40We are talking about NAP 2, but we will share NAP 1 with you again.
00:45A consensus document was presented in 2014.
00:49And what did we do with that document?
00:51On national issues, political parties also need to be united with all stakeholders.
00:56This is not something to be said. This is a given. Everyone should know this.
01:00But unfortunately, this is not possible in Pakistan.
01:04Even after the Jaffar Express incident, no joint declaration has been made by the political parties in this country.
01:12If we break this down, on one hand, there is the government.
01:15The government held a meeting and called for justice.
01:18At first, they wanted to go, but they did not go.
01:20They said, Mr. Fazlur Rahman has left.
01:22Nationalist parties did not go to the meeting.
01:24So, they could not make a consensus government.
01:26The declaration that came from the government,
01:29despite that, the JYA had to give a separate clarification.
01:32The ANP had to give a separate clarification.
01:35So, the consensus declaration that should have come from the government, did not come.
01:41Nor could they bridge the gap between the nationalist parties and the state and the government.
01:47This is the government's misdeed.
01:49On the other hand, if we talk about the opposition,
01:51we see a lack of any kind of unity.
01:55Tariq-e-Insaaf first agreed to go to this meeting,
01:58and then boycotted this meeting without informing Maulana's party.
02:03Because the thought was that it would be a joint strategy.
02:05All political parties would decide on the opposition together.
02:08But Tariq-e-Insaaf made its own decision.
02:10They did not take the rest of the people with them or on board.
02:13And this is not the first time.
02:15And this is not the first time that the consensus document
02:19is not being taken under confidence by the other parties.
02:25So, if we look at both sides, there is a lack of unity.
02:28And on the government's side, where Tariq-e-Insaaf is taunted for not coming,
02:33their own interior minister and their own mainstream leader,
02:36Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, also participated in that meeting.
02:39So, more or less, what is emerging here is that
02:42is it possible to bring any kind of consensus document, consensus announcement
02:47to the forefront or to agree on it or not?
02:52Even in 2014, there was an extremely polarized government.
02:56Despite that, we were able to make a national action plan.
02:59Is it possible now?
03:01We will talk to the first members of the program.
03:03We have with us Professor Aqeel Malik Sahib,
03:04Amalikat Barahi Kanur-e-Insaaf,
03:06Senator Waleed Iqbal Sahib,
03:07Rehanmah-e-Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaaf,
03:09Senator Kamran Murtaza Sahib will be with us.
03:11And from here, the operation will be new, old,
03:14whether it will happen or not,
03:15even on this wordplay,
03:17either there was confusion or it was created,
03:19we will take clarity on this as well.
03:21Barish Sahib, let us start with you.
03:22Where are we standing right now?
03:24The alarm that has come from the government,
03:27clearly, the nationalist communities do not endorse it.
03:30In the opposition, you remove Tariq-e-Insaaf on one side.
03:32He is your traditional Harif.
03:34His next level is your opposition to him right now.
03:38But the other communities, more or less,
03:40do not enthusiastically align with you.
03:43It seems that the People's Party and PMLN
03:46are standing with this alarm,
03:48but the other communities are not present there.
03:50So, you are alone.
03:51How will you build this consensus?
03:55Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.
03:56Mariya Sahiba, thank you very much.
03:57Mariya Sahiba, not only the People's Party and PMLN,
04:00but if you see the other communities as well,
04:02Ba Party,
04:03PMLQ,
04:06IPP,
04:08MQM,
04:09all those communities are standing with the government
04:13and are in unity with the government
04:16on treasury benches.
04:18If you look at the opposition,
04:20the opposition has been invited.
04:23Their parliamentary leaders have been invited.
04:26But apart from one or two parties,
04:30or apart from three parties,
04:32whose representative has only one seat,
04:35apart from that,
04:37there was a PTI.
04:38Nationalist parties are very big stakeholders in this matter.
04:42Whether they have a seat or not,
04:44whether they have representation or not,
04:46but if the solution to this whole matter is found,
04:49it will be found by the on-board of nationalist parties.
04:51You are absolutely right.
04:52You are right.
04:53This complaint cannot be on the government,
04:55because the government tried.
04:57When the government did all these things,
05:00first of all,
05:01this is a committee,
05:02a special committee,
05:03a parliamentary committee on national security,
05:06which does not exist in a normal course of action.
05:08All political parties were formed.
05:11Then the big opposition party, PTI,
05:14was asked to make a list.
05:16They made a list.
05:17I myself am an eyewitness.
05:18Their parliamentary leadership came to the Speaker's office
05:21and they finalized the names there
05:24sitting with our leadership.
05:26Then they started fighting over the names.
05:29They said, put my name.
05:30No, put my name.
05:31I should have it.
05:32Our principle was that
05:34give preference to those members from KP and Balochistan.
05:38And it should be given.
05:40Because they are on the receiving end.
05:43They have suffered the most
05:45amidst all this surge and the terrorist attacks.
05:47Then on the 11th hour at night,
05:49all the leadership gave the same statement.
05:51And everyone said that we will definitely go.
05:53National security is such a matter
05:55on which we are committed.
05:57We should have our input.
05:59Then on the 11th hour,
06:01it was decided that no.
06:03And the next day when we met Imran Khan,
06:07he also said that you did a very good job.
06:09You did not go.
06:10Now there was no decisive action or plan.
06:15There was just an in-camera briefing.
06:17And he was stating the limits of where we actually stand.
06:21What are the ground realities?
06:23And where are we standing?
06:24What is it that we are up against?
06:26All these things had to come forward.
06:28And everyone said what they had to say.
06:29It came forward.
06:30And even after that announcement,
06:31why did the JOI and ANP have to clarify again?
06:34Wasn't there an agreement there?
06:36This makes you look very incoherent.
06:39Even those who came to the meeting,
06:42they don't know what statement you are giving.
06:47Look, I think the announcements should be the same.
06:51There should not be different announcements.
06:53But I have seen their announcements.
06:55I think perhaps their point of view,
06:58which they wanted to distinctify,
07:00or they wanted to show it separately or clearly,
07:04or they wanted to tell it,
07:05maybe that announcement was incomplete.
07:09Or it could not be highlighted.
07:13There is nothing like that.
07:15We have said that all political parties are united.
07:18All political leaders are united on the fact
07:20that there is no compromise on national security.
07:24But I think they probably thought,
07:26why is it in their sense,
07:28that it would be better to highlight
07:31their separate point of view,
07:33from their party's perspective.
07:35So they highlighted it.
07:37That is why they issued their separate announcements.
07:39Right.
07:40Mr. Waleed Iqbal,
07:41the situation is that
07:42either the power of decision in you is weak,
07:44or because Mr. Imran Khan is in jail,
07:46if someone has to make a firm decision
07:48on a single policy,
07:49then it is a capacity issue.
07:51First you decide,
07:52we will go to the meeting.
07:53Then you decide,
07:54we will not go to the meeting.
07:55Fair enough,
07:56you are a member of the Jamaat.
07:57You can tell us
07:58what is the decision making process behind this.
08:00But you do not even inform your allies.
08:03You did not tell Maulana Sahib.
08:05Mr. Achak Zahid told you
08:06that you should not go.
08:07And then you probably decided
08:09because of other pressures.
08:11Is there any compromise
08:13in making decisions
08:15with your allies?
08:20No, there is no issue
08:24of power of decision
08:27or capacity.
08:29The report has been made wrong.
08:31I am a witness to some things.
08:33Let me tell you first
08:35that the list was given
08:38because of the limited time
08:40due to Ramadan.
08:41Our two bodies had to meet
08:43and deliberate on this.
08:45The parliamentary party
08:47had a meeting in the day
08:49and the political committee
08:51had a meeting in the evening
08:53and continued till 2.30 am.
08:55Since the list was given,
08:57the speaker's office was supposed
08:59to open at 1 am.
09:01So we gave the list.
09:03But the decision was
09:05that there will be participation
09:07but there will be conditions.
09:09What was the condition?
09:11The condition was that
09:13we meet the chairman first
09:15and Omar Ayub Khan,
09:17the opposition leader,
09:19wrote to the speaker
09:21and informed him
09:23that the parliamentary party
09:25and the political committee
09:27had a meeting in the day
09:29and continued till night.
09:31The decision was that
09:33there will be participation
09:35but there will be conditions
09:37so that we can get guidance
09:39and input from the chairman.
09:41This was our decision
09:43but when we were not given
09:45access to the list,
09:47our opposition,
09:49which includes
09:51the Pashtoon Khwa
09:53Milli Awami Party,
09:55MWM,
09:57SIC,
09:59and BNP,
10:01I don't know
10:03if this has been
10:05made public or not,
10:07but there were other
10:09opposition parties
10:11who were also concerned
10:13that some decisions
10:15have already been made
10:17and it was not necessary
10:19for the PTI to make a statement
10:21but it was the case of other parties
10:23that we will legitimize
10:25those decisions
10:27because those decisions
10:29have already been made.
10:31But there is an anomaly
10:33which I would like to clarify.
10:35Mr. Gandapur was present
10:37in that meeting as the CM
10:39because he holds
10:41a constitutional office.
10:43But his presence there
10:45does not mean that
10:47he will endorse those policies.
10:49He went there and held
10:51his position there.
10:53Yes, he held his position there
10:55and that was an in-camera meeting
10:57but my information is that
10:59it was a very strict position.
11:01My answer has not been complete yet.
11:03I just want to say that
11:05the government knew
11:07what our conditions were
11:09and they could have easily
11:11done that.
11:13When they had to send
11:15Azam Swati and other leaders
11:17to the jail,
11:19they did not take any action
11:21on that.
11:23The second thing is that
11:25you are absolutely right
11:27that when this happened
11:29and the committee meeting
11:31took place,
11:33all the announcements
11:35that took place,
11:37why did JUIF and ANP
11:39give their clarifications separately?
11:41Because those announcements
11:43were not shown to them before.
11:45But Senator,
11:47what I want to say specifically
11:49is that your CM went to that meeting
11:51and he held a strict position.
11:53You said this and this is my information.
11:55If you had left the space
11:57and you would have gone there
11:59and held this position
12:01and recorded your protest
12:03or you would have given
12:05clarifications in those announcements
12:07and you would have told us
12:09what policies you can endorse
12:11and who you disagree with.
12:13Do you think this is a politically wise decision?
12:17Look, there are
12:19some opinions on this.
12:21I cannot completely disagree with you
12:23but I think it is important
12:25to stand with one thing
12:27and then I will address
12:29the second thing that you are saying.
12:31JUIF and ANP
12:33decided on the
12:35competent authority
12:37of the parliamentary party
12:39and political committee.
12:41There were two or three
12:43different opinions.
12:45Out of 27,
12:4724 said that
12:49participation has to be conditional
12:51and only the chairman
12:53should have access.
12:55But I agree with what you are saying.
12:57Shah Mehmood Qureshi
12:59wrote in a long letter
13:01and it has been published
13:03on Manzar-e-Aam that
13:05there are some voices
13:07who feel that they should have
13:09participated.
13:11But then you realize
13:13that those who participated
13:15the government did what it wanted
13:17and there are allies
13:19like ANP.
13:21They were a part of it
13:23but the announcements
13:25were issued without showing
13:27their participation.
13:29This is what happened.
13:31The reservation of other parties
13:33like BNP and PKMAP was also
13:35right in its place.
13:37But I want to repeat
13:39that there was no issue
13:41of power, decision and capacity.
13:43We informed the government
13:45that participation was conditional
13:47and they did not accept it.
13:49It would have been better
13:51if they had participated
13:53but it would have been better
13:55if they had participated.
13:57It is a very balanced point of view.
13:59It is a very balanced point of view
14:01that they should have participated
14:03and the government should have
14:05believed that these are
14:07consensus decisions
14:09and you need high level
14:11engagement.
14:13You cannot make a country's
14:15popular political party
14:17strange and make such decisions.
14:19Thank you very much
14:21for joining us.
14:23Do you think that
14:25a consensus can be built
14:27and if you have to deal
14:29with such a big security
14:31challenges, do you think
14:33that the government
14:35has the capacity
14:37and political capital
14:39or not?
14:41The government does not
14:43have the capacity
14:45to draft resolutions.
14:47They do not know
14:49that after such a meeting
14:51a committee is formed
14:53that drafts the resolution
14:55and the parties that
14:57participate in it
14:59get approval from them.
15:01Or if someone has to
15:03mention something
15:05they get it mentioned.
15:07They do not even know
15:09that they issue a resolution
15:11in the name of others
15:13and after 15 minutes
15:15it becomes clear
15:17that we have nothing to do with it.
15:19Have you ever seen
15:21such an insult
15:23to the government?
15:25We have not seen it before.
15:27We have small conventions
15:29and if we have to
15:31decide something
15:33then different groups
15:35sit together
15:37and then
15:39after deciding
15:41we open it so that
15:43no one contradicts it.
15:45When we reached home
15:47it was a declaration
15:49and after 15 minutes
15:51we gave a clarification.
15:53Do you think
15:55that the government
15:57wants to build
15:59a consensus
16:01at some point?
16:03Do you see their intention
16:05to build a consensus?
16:07I don't think so.
16:09The reason is that
16:11the work that was done
16:13with us,
16:15and the speech of Maulana
16:17based on the
16:19Akhora Khatak speech
16:21or based on his
16:23cleverness
16:25we tried to
16:27build an impression
16:29that we have conceded.
16:31In this way
16:33things go wrong
16:35and these cleverness
16:37are not beneficial.
16:39The PTI could have
16:41been engaged
16:43but they did not have
16:45the capacity to engage
16:47other parties.
16:49We are a bit soft
16:51about the government
16:53and we are not
16:55in a tough relationship
16:57with the PTI
16:59or the opposition.
17:01We could have
17:03been engaged
17:05and we could have
17:07been told
17:09to engage
17:11other parties.
17:13We could have
17:15found a way
17:17but they do not know
17:19how to do it.
17:21Can we say
17:23that going to the
17:25meeting of Tehreek-e-Insaf
17:27does not matter?
17:29Would it have been better
17:31if they had gone?
17:33I am against
17:35the PTI.
17:37If they go to protest,
17:39they do not protest
17:41like on 26th November
17:43when your leaders
17:45disappeared
17:47and they reached
17:49Rajdhani.
17:51There is no such
17:53protest.
17:55It is like
17:57your son or daughter
17:59is seen from the same
18:01point of view
18:03and stands with her
18:05till the end.
18:07You should not
18:09be a weak hand.
18:11You should not
18:13make people
18:15laugh.
18:17You should
18:19think about
18:21the protest
18:23on 26th November
18:25and how
18:27they escaped.
18:31Let's take a break.
18:33We will ask Aqeel Malik
18:35who is in the opposition.
18:37We have heard
18:39about the JUI.
18:41There are many complaints
18:43but they are not
18:45aggressive.
18:47They can give tough time
18:49to the government
18:51but the government
18:53did not engage them.
18:55Welcome back, Aqeel.
18:57You heard
18:59Kamran Murtaza
19:01talking about
19:03the JUI.
19:05You could not
19:07take them with you.
19:09There are many complaints
19:11but they are not
19:13aggressive.
19:15Who are you
19:17taking with you?
19:19MQM, People's Party,
19:21the government
19:23is a part of
19:25convenience.
19:27You are not
19:29taking anyone with you.
19:31I agree with
19:33Maria.
19:35We should
19:37have engaged
19:39them more.
19:41The CBMs
19:43in the opposition
19:45did not try
19:47to engage them.
19:49If there was an invitation,
19:51the JUI came.
19:53If there was an invitation,
19:55the ANPI came.
19:57We should have
19:59made the CBMs
20:01a single document.
20:03Every party
20:05should have its own document.
20:07The importance
20:09of the document
20:11should not
20:13be taken
20:15in that way.
20:17This is also right.
20:19If we point
20:21to Akhtar Mengal
20:23and PTI,
20:25we should have
20:27engaged them.
20:29These are political decisions.
20:31I think
20:33the PM should
20:35give a useful
20:37and better advice.
20:39The CBMs
20:41should be
20:43engaged in this.
20:45The CBMs
20:47should know that
20:49for one reason or another,
20:51this was at the eleventh hour.
20:53Given the gravity
20:55of the situation,
20:57the Jafar Express incident,
20:59this meeting was called
21:01at the last minute.
21:03This meeting was called
21:05in a hurry but it was necessary.
21:07It was necessary for national security
21:09and for peace.
21:11It was necessary to
21:13get all the parliamentarians
21:15on board and
21:17to tell them that
21:19this is what has happened
21:21and this is what we are up against.
21:23It was necessary.
21:25I still think
21:27that it is not too late.
21:29The PM has given
21:31an idea to call
21:33the APC after Eid.
21:35He is mulling it around.
21:37It is a good idea.
21:39The APC should be called.
21:41I support it because
21:43all the decisions
21:45should be taken by the parliamentarians.
21:47We, the politicians,
21:49have to face the people.
21:51Your discussion
21:53with the APC
21:55is a good thing.
21:57But the opposition is
21:59accusing you of not
22:01creating a consensus.
22:03You just needed
22:05an endorsement
22:07or support.
22:09You have already taken decisions.
22:13In this situation,
22:15when the country is surrounded
22:17by terrorism,
22:19when there has been
22:21a double or triple
22:23terrorist attack,
22:25I think
22:27these decisions
22:29have already been taken.
22:31The government of the day
22:33is responsible.
22:35We, as parliamentarians
22:37and politicians collectively
22:39have a responsibility.
22:41We have not been told
22:43to leave one group
22:45and operate on the other.
22:47This is a generic issue.
22:49We are all against terrorism.
22:51Tell me what consensus
22:53should have been developed
22:55or what consensus
22:57can I develop
22:59as a citizen of Pakistan?
23:01What is the APC's role?
23:03What is the APC's role?
23:05If there is no need to develop
23:07a consensus?
23:09In the APC,
23:11there are some issues
23:13related to kinetic operation.
23:15No decision has been taken
23:17that an operation is going
23:19to be carried out.
23:21Intelligent operations
23:23have been going on
23:25for the past 1-1.5 years.
23:27Where there is credible intelligence,
23:29law enforcement agencies
23:31and officials
23:33act rapidly
23:35and deal with terrorism
23:37where there is credible intelligence.
23:39In terms of sharing
23:41of intelligence,
23:43as you mentioned
23:45in the beginning,
23:47the national action plan
23:49has not been
23:51properly implemented
23:53by the previous governments.
23:55Let's see
23:57if there is any capacity
23:59at the moment.
24:01Let's talk about the APC.
24:03Is it a good idea?
24:05Will Tariq-e-Insaaf participate?
24:07What do you think?
24:09What kind of participation
24:11will Tariq-e-Insaaf have?
24:41Tariq-e-Insaaf has
24:43filed a complaint
24:45against the PPP
24:47and MQM.
24:49These days,
24:51Tariq-e-Insaaf
24:53is leaving the government.
24:55This is the position
24:57of the government
24:59to the extent
25:01of consensus building.
25:03If this is the time
25:05to unite,
25:07the government
25:09is not allowing
25:11Tariq-e-Insaaf to participate.
25:13In the last few days,
25:15we have called for a
25:17peaceful meeting
25:19at Minar-e-Pakistan.
25:21The government
25:23has not allowed
25:25Tariq-e-Insaaf to participate.
25:27This is the time
25:29to unite.
25:31When you want
25:33to build consensus,
25:35you need to unite
25:37with Tariq-e-Insaaf.
25:39Tariq-e-Insaaf is
25:41opposing other parties.
25:43Kamran Murtaza
25:45is a colleague
25:47of mine.
25:49He is a colleague
25:51of mine in the Senate
25:53and in the profession.
25:55The other parties
25:57like PKMAP
25:59and BNP
26:01have already made
26:03some decisions.
26:05Tariq-e-Insaaf
26:07has to be legitimized
26:09and that is why
26:11Tariq-e-Insaaf did not participate.
26:13Tariq-e-Insaaf has to be legitimized
26:15and that is why
26:17Tariq-e-Insaaf did not participate.
26:19Tariq-e-Insaaf has to be legitimized
26:21and that is why
26:23Tariq-e-Insaaf has to be legitimized
26:25and that is why
26:27Tariq-e-Insaaf has to be legitimized
26:29and that is why
26:31Tariq-e-Insaaf has to be legitimized
26:33Tariq-e-Insaaf has to be legitimized
26:35Tariq-e-Insaaf has to be legitimized

33:27National Action Plan
33:29I will come to the first NIAT
33:31because I was in the expert committee
33:33which held 21 meetings
33:35and one point was removed
33:37in the cabinet
33:39due to someone's apprehension
33:41and that was mainly
33:43due to a lot of brainstorming
33:45and in that discussion
33:47there were political parties
33:49in the expert group
33:51there were people from our institutions
33:53and top officials
33:55and all these things were discussed
33:57it was not that someone
33:59added it all of a sudden
34:01and presented it
34:03and at the Balochistan meeting
34:05it was discussed in detail
34:07and all the institutions
34:09discussed it openly
34:11and agreed that
34:13the process of reconciliation
34:15should start
34:17so this was the background
34:19the 21st point
34:21was that who will implement it
34:23the prime minister
34:25was given the responsibility
34:27that the prime minister
34:29will make a war room
34:31will make a mechanism
34:33from where it will be monitored
34:35and implemented
34:37and as soon as it came out
34:39it became unheard of
34:41Jodhary Nihar used to take the responsibility
34:43Nasir Janjua
34:45NSA used to take the responsibility
34:47and when there were questions
34:49about it again and again
34:51because it was a consensus document
34:53it was a document
34:55so even today we recall it
34:57so it was put around
34:59the neck of NECTA
35:01and the capacity of NECTA
35:03is still there
35:05but it was not capable of it
35:07because the whole
35:09bureaucratic system of policing
35:11was such
35:13that it could not be implemented
35:15so this is the background
35:17of it
35:19if you want to make a new action plan
35:21then make it only for Balochistan
35:23and
35:25because the other points
35:27already have
35:29consensus on them
35:31if they are going to make a mechanism
35:33then they can do it
35:35I think a national action plan
35:37should be made on Balochistan
35:39Muhammad Ali
35:41all the points I read
35:43it does not seem like I am telling something new
35:45the more we move forward
35:47the more we stay at the same place
35:49it seems like in 2014
35:51the national action plan
35:53to implement it
35:55was someone's seriousness
35:57was it a lack of political intent
35:59was it because
36:01the political governments kept coming and going
36:03there was no stability
36:05that is why it could not be implemented
36:07what were the reasons
36:09for it not being implemented
36:11thank you very much
36:13I think there are three basic reasons
36:15one was
36:17as an expert
36:19or a student of political science
36:21if I see
36:23you know that traditionally
36:25in our country
36:27it is thought
36:29that all matters of stability
36:31are to be seen by our military
36:33and
36:35civilian or political leadership
36:37their work is
36:39financial matters
36:41or economic matters
36:43and development
36:45that is why
36:47almost all governments
36:49and parties
36:51have been concerned
36:53and this is the basic reason
36:55for which
36:57without taking anyone's name
36:59the political leaders
37:01generally think that
37:03this is counter terrorism
37:05these are all military matters
37:07our job is to develop
37:09take the budget
37:11take the funds
37:13if a formal document
37:15comes in the form of
37:17a national action plan
37:19then I want to say
37:21that under the pressure of the army
37:23or
37:25appreciating their concerns
37:27or not destabilizing
37:29the civil military relations
37:31they do it under the assumption
37:33and
37:35basically a verbal
37:37and political commitment is there
37:39but practical implementation
37:41as Amir sahab was saying
37:43is not seen
37:45and the basic reason is
37:47that the real thing
37:49that I can say in one sentence
37:51is that it seems that
37:53apart from a few jamaats
37:55other jamaats
37:57do not want to spend
37:59their political capital
38:01on the final
38:03outcome of war on terror
38:05they give
38:07some statements
38:09they congratulate
38:11they congratulate the supporters
38:13they present the army
38:15and condemn terrorism
38:17so this is a verbal
38:19and political commitment
38:21practically as Amir sahab said
38:23that
38:25especially in KPK
38:27more than 580 billion
38:29funds have been given to them
38:31in different periods
38:33you know that
38:35they are most affected
38:37by terrorism
38:39and the people there
38:41are suffering the most
38:43but now the situation is
38:45that not a single forensic lab
38:47is operational
38:49through which we can identify
38:51terrorists
38:53or their counter-terrorism department
38:55is in no condition
38:57around 100,000
38:59civil law enforcement agencies
39:01are working in KPK
39:03but their training
39:05and moral
39:07is in front of everyone
39:09because the army
39:11is the
39:13last line of defense
39:15the first line of defense
39:17is the counter-terrorism strategy
39:19because you are fighting
39:21this war within your borders
39:23so it has to be a civil law
39:25enforcement agency
39:27every police station, special branch
39:29IB, FIA
39:31if all these civil organizations
39:33work together
39:35then there is no reason
39:37to reduce the space
39:39that terrorists want
39:41and then the few individuals
39:43who take up arms
39:45against the state
39:47any operation against them
39:49can definitely be fought
39:51and this is the reason
39:53that the army leadership
39:55is expressing this frustration
39:57which in one sentence
39:59the army chief said
40:01that the blood of the martyrs
40:03cannot be the blood of the people
40:05but Amir sahib
40:07if we do not talk about
40:09political instability
40:11in this country
40:13then this will be an exaggeration
40:15especially when you spend your capital
40:17through a thorough democratic process
40:19then you will know
40:21that during your government
40:23and the mandate
40:25to work for them
40:27is definite
40:29another angle that we are seeing
40:31is the lack of coordination
40:33if Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has
40:35a government of one political party
40:37and Vifaq has a government of another
40:39then they will not tag team
40:41it seems that they put responsibility
40:43on each other
40:45and move away
40:49you are right
40:51the political chaos
40:53that is going on in Pakistan
40:55there are many layers
40:57there can be many things
40:59but it is like this
41:01but it is basically
41:03related to our
41:05civil military
41:07balance
41:09the doctor is right
41:11that a lot of things
41:13have been put on the army
41:15but it has a history
41:17we will not go to the old history
41:19in the era of Abdo or Bhutto
41:21whenever the civilians got the chance
41:23when Mian sahib was the prime minister
41:25the balance of the civilians
41:27was more
41:29then we created
41:31anti-terrorism act
41:33we created a mechanism
41:35against Varanasi
41:37when I just told you
41:39that the 21st
41:41point was that the prime minister
41:43will do it then
41:45there was a aspect of civil military
41:47and our institutions
41:49the security
41:51the internal security
41:53those folks
41:55I am saying quote unquote
41:57they did not want to do it on the civilian leadership
41:59and whenever they
42:01tried to take the issue
42:03in their hands
42:05there was a lot of
42:07civil military tension
42:09regional policy
42:11internal policy
42:13we don't want to go into the background
42:15but now
42:17it is obvious that
42:19it is an issue of the capacity of the civilian institutions
42:21but
42:23who will look after it
42:25political leadership
42:27is a fire
42:29that
42:31burns hands
42:33that is why the KP
42:35government
42:37appears to
42:39appease the TTP
42:41and Taliban
42:43so it is a political compulsion
42:45I think the problem is
42:47when we are talking about
42:49national action plan
42:51on the social contract
42:53of Pakistan
42:55there should be another action plan
42:57which is not possible
42:59this is a matter of consensus
43:01Mohammad Ali
43:03after 2014
43:05this consensus document
43:07came out
43:09there are very few instances
43:11where all political parties
43:13have agreed
43:15on the 18th amendment
43:17do you need
43:19national action plan 2
43:21or is this enough
43:23as suggested by Amir Rana
43:27personally
43:29I have no
43:31objection
43:33you can call that document
43:35national action plan
43:371 plus or 2
43:39that is also
43:41for political optics
43:43that we have brought a fresh document
43:45as you said
43:47Mr. Mirabal
43:49earlier
43:51in Nawaz Sharif's time
43:53now in Shahbaz Sharif's time
43:55you know better than me
43:57that this is
43:59only political slogans
44:01the real thing is
44:03as Mr. Amir said
44:05and as you said
44:07in the beginning
44:09the practical steps
44:11that you have to register
44:13or send illegal people
44:15from the country
44:17or register them
44:19or to end the black economy
44:21or money laundering
44:23or to take up arms
44:25to run the country
44:27then on the other hand
44:29another political problem
44:31which is facing the army
44:33and the state and the government
44:35is a very hard line stance
44:37of KPK's political party
44:39in which
44:41they want to
44:43ban Bani's release
44:45from the operation
44:47against national security
44:49and it means
44:51that they want to
44:53bargain
44:55for the release of their leader
44:57basically from the operation
44:59against national security
45:01with its support
45:03so it means that
45:05the same province
45:07whose people are most affected
45:09you want to
45:11bargain for
45:13national security
45:15so this is a matter of regret
45:17because your voter
45:19your geography, your religion
45:21your position, your party
45:23whatever it may be
45:25as per Pakistan's constitution
45:27everything is fair
45:29Thank you very much
