Islamabad:
With the tide that apparently turns after the verdict on the reserved seats, the governor of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal, Karim Kundi, went to action, intensifying efforts to dislodge the government led by PTI in the province.
This decision is part of a larger plan in Green-Bloved by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who would have given Kundi the reins to orchestrate a political upheaval in the province.
The decision of the reserved seats gave the federal coalition a foot in the door of the KP assembly, fueling speculation that a non-confidence thrust may not be far away.
In the ranks of the government, there is an increasing consensus on the fact that the grip of the PTI of PTI on Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has followed its course and that recent developments have further revealed its inability to ensure public security.
In this context, Governor Kundi met the president of the PPP on Friday, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, to take stock of the evolutionary political and security landscape.
During the meeting, the governor informed Bilawal of recent developments, including his commitment with the legislators of the coalition parties and the implications of the allocation of reserved seats.
The deterioration of the situation of the public order, in particular in the districts of the south of KP, was in good place in their discussions.
Kundi informed the PPP president of growing security problems and the administrative obstacles faced in the province.
He also provided a detailed account of the recent human tragedy in Swat, where the sudden floods have cost several lives and criticized the provincial government’s response to be largely inadequate.
Referring to rescue activities, the governor said: “According to your instructions, I visited the affected families of Daska and Rustam, Mardan”.
Al Jazeera interview
Former Foreign Minister and President of the PPP, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, in an interview with Al Jazeera, warned that the increasingly aggressive anti-Pakistani account of India has imposed a threat not only for Pakistan but for India itself.
He argued that New Delhi was trying to globalize a hostile ideology that was likely to destabilize the region. “This new ideology is dangerous for Pakistanis and Indians,” he said.
Rejecting accusations of Pakistan involvement in terrorist incidents across the border, Bilawal added: “Pakistan was not involved in terrorist attacks in India”.
He said that the country was itself faced daily with terrorism incidents.
Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar
Bilawal also reported the opening of Islamabad to consider extradiation of Laskhar-E-Taiba (Let), chef Hafiz Saeed and Jaish-E-Muhammad (Jem), Chef Masood Azhar, provided that India cooperates in the facilitation of legal proceedings.
“As part of a complete dialogue with Pakistan, where terrorism is one of the questions we discuss, I am sure that Pakistan would not be opposed to any of these things.”
According to the National Terrorism Authority (NACTA) of Pakistan, Let and Jem are prohibited organizations. SAEED is currently serving a 33 -year sentence in Pakistan for terrorist funding, while Azhar was also prohibited by the authorities.
Bilawal has developed that existing legal proceedings against the two people have so far focused on the accusations filed in the jurisdiction of Pakistan.
However, he noted that pursuing them on cross -border allegations of terrorism remained a challenge due to India’s reluctance to meet basic procedural requirements.
“India refuses to comply with certain basic elements which require that this conviction takes place,” he said.
“It is important – to present evidence in these courts, so that people come from India to testify, to support everything that counter -accusation will be. If India is willing to be cooperative in this process, I am sure that there will be no obstacle to extradiole.”
The head of the PPP also fell strongly against the posture of India on cross -border terrorism, characterizing it as a dangerous change in regional standards.
“The new normal or the abnormal news that India would like to impose on the subcontinent – is that any terrorist attack in India means war with Pakistan,” said Bilawal.
“It is not used for the interests of Pakistan, and it does not serve the interests of India.”
He continued by warning that this climbing logic has placed the fate of nearly two billion people in the hands of non -state actors.
“Two nuclear countries have come to the point that they have reduced the threshold of military conflict – at this level, which in fact means that we leave the fate of 1.7 billion people not in the hands of Pakistani or Indian actors, but to non -state -free non -state actors.”
When he was specifically asked for the current status of Saeed and Azhar, Bilawal said: “It is not correct that Hafiz Saeed is a free man; he is in the care of the Pakistani state.”
He added that Azhar’s fate remains vague, but stressed that Islamabad believes that he is outside the country. “We believe he is in Afghanistan,” he said.
“If and when the Indian government shares information that it is on Pakistani soil, we will be more than happy to stop it.”
