Long march is our right, I will tell everyone not to stop the long march: Chair Man PTI Barrister Gohar

provincial government is not ready to play a role in the war against terrorism, the long march will not be allowed to enter the limits of Islamabad: Rana Sanaullah

         Islamabad: The ongoing talks between the government and the opposition ended without any result, sources said. Members of the negotiation committee left the Speaker's Chamber. After the talks, the government delegation spoke to the media. Advisor to the Prime Minister and a member of the government negotiation delegation, Rana Sanaullah, said that the provincial government is not ready to play a role in the war against terrorism, the provincial government should fulfill its constitutional responsibility regarding terrorism, and the provincial government refused to assure the role of the provincial government against terrorism. Rana Sana clarified that the long march will not be allowed to enter the limits of Islamabad, any kind of chaos will be prevented by the force of law. Government negotiation committee member Sherry Rehman said that we have heard their concerns, the draft was changed 4 times, no compromise can be made on terrorism, they have refused the agreement on the long march and other things.

            On the other hand, Barrister Gohar, who is Allama Chairman PTI and a member of the opposition delegation, said that the negotiation session has ended and a deadlock has been created in the negotiations. The parties did not agree on the need for a session tomorrow. They will exchange some things with each other. If necessary, a session may be held. Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar said that we wanted the negotiations to be successful. Our long march is intact. There will be a long march. No such action should be taken under the guise of a long march that creates tension among the people of the province. The long march is our right. I will tell everyone not to stop the long march. He said that nothing should be called final. Nothing is final in politics. The answer to a long march is not emergency or governor's rule. The parties did not agree on the next stage of negotiations.

           Raja Nasir Abbas, while talking to a private TV news channel, said that the deadlock remains, there were small things but no results could be reached. Allama Raja Nasir Abbas said that the issue of meeting the founder of PTI could not be resolved, there is a deadlock on the issue of access to Khan's personal physician, we tried to reach a conclusion but the deadlock remains.

Allama Nasir Abbas said that after the talks, the government delegation said that at this time we are not in a position to meet Imran Khan, he said that the meeting of sisters and lawyers will start. Barrister Salman Akram Raja said that consensus could not be reached on the basic issues, we thought that we could move forward on which both of us would agree.

 Islamabad: Talks between the federal government and the opposition on the current political situation have been postponed until today. The first round of talks between the government and the opposition began at 12 noon and the second round after Friday prayers, at the end of which the parties agreed to adjourn the talks until today and continue the talks. The talks continued for several hours, after which the parties agreed to meet again at 2 pm today. According to the National Assembly spokesperson, the meeting discussed the country’s political situation and various issues in detail. During this time, members of the government, the PPP and the opposition informed each other of their respective positions, while detailed discussions were held on various issues. According to the statement, the government delegation stressed the need to resolve national issues with the opposition through talks.


After the talks, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar expressed satisfaction over the negotiation process and said that the first day of the talks had passed in a good atmosphere. He said that we have informed each other of our respective positions, and it is hoped that matters will improve. Opposition Leader in the Senate Raja Nasir Abbas also said in response to questions from journalists that during the talks, the government members’ behavior was appropriate. The government delegation presented its point and we presented ours. Negotiations will resume today at 2 pm.


Delegations from the government and the opposition participated in the talks held in the chamber of the Speaker of the National Assembly on Friday, during which members of the PPP were also present. The government’s negotiating delegation was led by Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, while other members included Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and Rana Sanaullah. Senators Sherry Rehman, Naveed Qamar and Ijaz Jakhrani participated in the negotiations from the PPP.

During this, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi briefed the government and opposition leaders on the situation and law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

According to sources, during the talks, there was a heated exchange between the PTI and the government team on some issues, however, there was no disruption in the talks between the two sides and the talks continued. According to sources, during the talks in the committee room, bitter words were exchanged between Rana Sanaullah and Raja Nasir Abbas while discussing judicial matters. Raja Nasir Abbas criticized and disappointed the government's measures of not implementing court decisions and banning meetings with the founding chairman. On this occasion, Rana Sanaullah took the position that the courts are doing their job and the government will ensure the implementation of court decisions related to the long march.


The government delegation, while taking a strong stance, made it clear that an attack on Islamabad in the name of protest will never be allowed and threatening to attack the long march or Adiala Jail is not a correct political attitude. Sources say that government members also took the position that not only the government but also the opposition should show flexibility. At this point, Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq intervened and urged the parties to move matters forward through understanding.


According to sources, PPP members remained mostly silent during the talks. The second round of talks between the government and the opposition began after Friday prayers. During this time, after exchanging recommendations from both sides, the parties were engaged in separate consultations with their respective members. According to sources, opposition leaders remained present in the Speaker’s Chamber and kept their leaders informed about the progress in the talks and the issues under discussion. On the other hand, government members consulted on the demands and recommendations presented by the opposition in the conference room of the Speaker’s Chamber. During the talks, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Advisor to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah also contacted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and informed him about the progress in the talks.


Before reaching the committee room, reporters asked Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq whether he was playing a facilitating role in the negotiations and whether any results would be achieved from this process. In response, the Speaker recited the first verse of Surah Fatiha, ‘Alhamdulillah, Rabb al-Alameen’ and said that he was only playing the role of a facilitator and prayed that the negotiations would be successful. Negotiations are the only way to resolve differences of opinion and problems.

Federation and PTI face to face , Political crisis intensifies

Government begins open discussion on constitutional emergency and possibilities of Governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Governor's rule casts shadow over KPK government, October 4 march enters decisive phase, more containers arrive in Islamabad

       

                    The political front heats up in Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, federation and PTI come face to face. The political crisis has intensified after the federal government began open discussions on the possibilities of constitutional emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while PTI has announced to continue the October 4 Islamabad long march at all costs. 

                    Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has made it clear that he will lead the march on October 4 and the first phase is scheduled to reach Swabi, while PTI Chairman Barrister Gauhar also confirmed that the call for the march will be maintained and called it a peaceful political activity. On the other hand, there have been calls from within PTI to postpone the march. The party’s provincial information secretary Shaukat Yousafzai has written a letter to the leadership suggesting further postponing the march due to the current security situation and fears of a possible emergency. Meanwhile, the federal government’s statements have become more stringent.

                Federal ministers are calling the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the basis for Governor’s rule or other constitutional measures, while PPP Secretary General Nayyar Bukhari has also said that his party will give constitutional suggestions on the issue of Governor’s rule if the federation consults. Security preparations are also underway in Islamabad in view of the possible march on October 4. Containers are present around important places, especially the Red Zone, and a security cordon has been maintained. Thus, the real test will now be on October 4: on the one hand, PTI’s Islamabad march, on the other hand, the federation’s echo of constitutional options against the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, while there are also reports of behind-the-scenes political contacts. 

               However, no final secret agreement or deal has been independently confirmed. One thing is clear in the current situation that by October 4, the political tension between the federation and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has entered a more critical phase. This is breaking news, not analysis; and I have deliberately not made unconfirmed definitive claims like “Governor’s rule is about to be imposed” or “a deal has been struck.” The biggest confirmed news at this time is that the march is ongoing, the Chief Minister has announced its leadership, and an open discussion on constitutional options against KP has begun at the federal level. It is also noteworthy that more than a dozen containers have arrived in Islamabad at this time and are being placed in the red zone in addition to the internal and external routes.

Threats of Gour Narraj cannot move us back from our position, Sohail Afridi



The policy of throwing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into the fire of terrorism again is unacceptable, the people have been subjected to experiments of a special mind

The state has been informed repeatedly but it has been declared as our propaganda, the sacrifices of the people of the province, police and army have been sacrificed for unrest

   Peshawar: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi has said that he will not move back from his position due to threats of Gour Narraj or emergency. In a meeting related to law and order, Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi said that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, police and army have made countless sacrifices for the establishment of peace, more than 80,000 people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have sacrificed their lives but the peace achieved after 2 decades of sacrifices has been sacrificed for unrest.


    He said that the federal government was continuously warned until the terrorists left and were resettled. The federal government was repeatedly informed of the threat, but our statements were called propaganda. The current policy of the state was repeatedly said to be wrong. Sohail Afridi further said that the people of the province were made a target for experiments with a specific mindset, and the policy of throwing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into the fire of terrorism again is unacceptable.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Emergency or Governor's Rule, Debate Begins

     


  Islamabad: Tensions between the federal government and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government have created an uncertain political situation in the province, where the federal government is considering various options including Governor's Rule in the province, while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has also decided on a counter-strategy. It was reported that the federal government is considering the option of imposing Governor's Rule or Emergency in the province, while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is also considering the option of dissolving the assembly or changing the Chief Minister. After the postponement of the September 27 protest, various comments are being made in political circles. Due to the worsening law and order situation in the province and the increasing terrorism, the federal government is considering various constitutional measures. The debate regarding Governor's Rule or Emergency has gained momentum.

I will accept the resignation of the Chief Minister if it comes, Governor Faisal Karim Kundi

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has said that Chief Minister Sohail Afridi is leaving, and Ali Amin Gandapur is coming, we do not know anything about this, however, if the resignation comes from the Chief Minister's House through regular channels, I will accept it. According to the statement issued by the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has contacted the federal government and talked to the Prime Minister to call a federal cabinet meeting in Peshawar and demanded that a federal cabinet meeting be called at the Governor's House on law and order, he has met the Chief Minister and has also requested to call a meeting of the App Case Committee in Peshawar. The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said that the Tehreek-e-Insaf is not capable of even a long or short march at this time, giving a date on the date does not work. Faisal Karim Kundi said that Sohail Afridi condemned the drone attacks but did not condemn the attack by quadcopters from Afghanistan. He said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has not condemned the attack by quadcopters from Afghanistan in the assembly. No resolution has been brought against the helicopter attacks and why are they silent?


The KP government meets all the constitutional grounds on which Governor's rule can be imposed, Rana Sanaullah

On the other hand, the Prime Minister's Advisor on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has said that the option of Governor's rule exists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but no decision has been made on it yet. In an interview, Rana Sanaullah said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government meets all the conditions on the basis of which the federal government can constitutionally impose Governor's rule in any province, however, no decision has been made yet, but this decision may be made because the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is not being run according to the constitution and law.

Government negotiates on TV channels, PTI is ready if it talks practically, PTI leaders

Peshawar: PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Secretary Shaukat Yousafzai declared postponing the long march a political strategy. In a statement, Shaukat Yousafzai said that the federal government will be forced to kneel, the government negotiates on TV channels, PTI is ready if it talks practically, the federal government will have to come to talks.

 He said that after the 18th Amendment, there can be no interference in the affairs of the provinces, the Police Act is the province's authority, they want the police to be independent, that is why they have enacted legislation. Shaukat Yousafzai said that PTI's demand is that the founder of PTI should be provided treatment in the light of court orders. 

Earlier, YTI leader Shaukat Yousafzai denied the news of ending the long march and said that if the federal government negotiates, some decision regarding the long march will be taken. Maybe, in a conversation with a private TV news channel, Shaukat Yousafzai has not made any decision to end the long march, the PTI's preparations are complete, the long march will be peaceful and government resources will not be used. The PTI leader said that the federal government has violated the court decision by blocking the roads through containers.
