00:00 First, you are trying to appease the general sentiment of PTI.
00:06 That is why CM KPK is behaving like this.
00:09 Second, Governor Faisal Kareem Kundi has once again invited CM KPK to the Governor's House.
00:16 They will discuss KPK's rights together with the Wifaq.
00:20 They will discuss KPK's rights.
00:23 Now you have a representative of Wifaq who wants to go to Wifaq regarding your demands.
00:28 And a representative of a Jamaat whose government is based on Wifaq.
00:32 Will this offer be accepted?
00:34 This is a government prerogative.
00:38 Because technically I am not a part of the government.
00:41 So it is hard for me to comment.
00:44 The argument between the Governor and the CM is very strong.
00:51 And maybe that has to do with Diya Ikhan's politics.
00:54 But I will give my point of view on two things.
00:57 First, I agree with Bilal that the way the Taj Gul issue was solved,
01:07 this is the blueprint.
01:09 There is not much difference.
01:11 In this blueprint, a person made a mistake.
01:18 Or maybe there was a mistake in an election.
01:20 It is a matter of accepting that.
01:23 It is a matter of moving forward.
01:25 It is a matter of showing restraint to both sides.
01:28 If there is a will from one side to solve the issue,
01:32 then the other side will also move back.
01:35 This is exactly what is happening here.
01:38 And I also commend both the opposition and the government that they solved this in the right spirit.
01:45 Second, if you look at the budget for 2024-2025,
01:52 the budget traditions between our Wafaaq and the provinces are wrong.
01:58 Wafaaq sets the salary limit, the provinces follow it.
02:03 There is never any discussion between Wafaaq and the provinces.
02:09 One decision of Wafaaq, which is of 100 billion,
02:13 has an impact of 600-700 billion in the provinces.
02:16 The deficit you have in the IMF program is of the entire Pakistan.
02:20 There are two big issues of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
02:23 Which the governor should solve, the chief minister should solve,
02:27 the federal government should solve.
02:29 I say that anyone should solve it so that they get the credit.
02:32 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not like that.
02:34 The first issue is that the 3% promise in the tribal settlement in Nawaz Sharif,
02:39 should be left.
02:40 The expenses of their salaries, which were 116 billion this year,
02:45 were given to the tribal government.
02:50 Meaning, the money of my Peshawar tax,
02:52 which is the responsibility of Wafaaq in the tribal settlement,
02:55 this is unconstitutional, this is illegal.
02:59 You ignored the people of the tribal settlement for 70 years,
03:03 you are still doing it.
03:05 And the second thing, which is the matter of the NHP,
03:08 I know this because I raised it with Shahbaz Sharif in 2022.
03:12 When their first government came, the NHP was banned from that day.
03:16 It has not been found till today.
03:18 You show goodwill.
03:20 If Ali Amin Khan is talking so wrongly about you,
03:24 then you are not being hostile to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
03:27 You show goodwill.
03:29 One thing is that this hostility is being said again and again.
03:31 That Wafaaq, KPK, Soteli Ma, hostility,
03:35 such words are being used.
03:37 There are very strict sentiments there.
03:40 Or maybe the sentiments are being forced.
03:42 The way this matter was resolved,
03:44 who will be the person or be the party that will take the first step?
03:49 Because there the speaker solved a lot of things.
03:52 There is no intermediary here.
03:54 There used to be an institute,
03:56 there used to be a president, but not those two.
03:58 Look, the whole of Pakistan is equal for the Prime Minister,
04:03 for our community, for everyone.
04:06 This is a non-factor that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is a PTI government.
04:10 Therefore, there must be a different attitude of a Wafaaq government.
04:13 I will give you an example.
04:15 Look at the 16-month government.
04:17 What were our governments in Balochistan,
04:20 when the floods came?
04:22 I remember that landslides and such incidents were also there in KP.
04:26 The Prime Minister instructed in the same way.
04:28 Where there was no subject of loyalty,
04:31 he used loyalty there too.
04:33 So, look, I think we need to have a common ground
04:36 that it is not at all the case that any province has any right.
04:38 It is being stopped somewhere for this reason
04:41 that one community has a government there and the other has a government there.
04:45 The second thing is, look, Mr. Jagda knows this,
04:48 because he himself is a central figure in his opinion,
04:51 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government in the last term,
04:54 that between provinces and Wafaaq,
04:56 there is a lot of discussion on other issues.
04:59 Often, I mean, even between two governments of a community.
05:02 He has also experienced that.
05:03 So, look, there is a dialogue between Wafaaq and the provinces.
05:06 Look, they talked about net title profits.
05:08 So, I think this issue existed even at that time
05:11 when there were governments in their centre and KP.
05:13 The purpose is to say that these things are institutional
05:16 and there is a dialogue and resolution on them in a very structured way.
05:20 But look, it doesn't help the matter
05:23 when Ali Amin Gandapur starts talking in the same way as he is doing now.
05:27 Because now I feel that it is just a matter of throwing a board of Ludo.
05:30 It doesn't mean that the intention of the Wafaaq government
05:33 to solve the issues of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be less.
05:37 But I don't think it helps matters
05:40 when a chief minister of a province, who is the chief executive of that province,
05:43 adopts such a destructive path.
05:45 I think the way his attitude was a month ago,
05:48 which I saw, if he does,
05:50 then overall, it will be better in our political temperatures.
05:54 And along with this, the issues between Wafaaq and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government,
05:59 the world.
