00:00First, I would like to talk to Zia Lanjaar, the Minister of Internal Affairs.
00:02Mr. Zia, thank you so much for your time.
00:04First of all, what information would you like to share about the Karachi blast?
00:09Look, they are making it uncertain.
00:11A lot of vehicles have been damaged there.
00:16And initially, there was a blast.
00:21This is generally the case.
00:23One of our police officers is injured.
00:28Along with him, three of our soldiers are also injured.
00:32They have been shifted.
00:33Some of the soldiers of the Rangers have also been found to be injured.
00:37I am going to this spot myself.
00:39So, things are still uncertain.
00:43Confirmed.
00:44You understand that such a big thing has happened.
00:48So, without confirming it, I can't say anything.
00:50Mr. Zia, who was the target?
00:55Look, it is not yet confirmed from there that because flights were coming,
01:02perhaps a passenger of a flight has been hit.
01:07Or it could also be that some other important person has been hit here.
01:14I am reaching that spot now.
01:17So, I can't say anything confirmed yet.
01:22There are reports that a foreign caravan has been targeted.
01:29Will you confirm it or deny it?
01:32Look, a foreign caravan had already passed from there.
01:37And the rest is still unconfirmed.
01:42Until we gather the evidence of the confirmed things,
01:47otherwise, it will be unacceptable.
01:50Was there a specific threat alert, Mr. Lanjhaar?
01:54There was no specific threat alert.
01:58This is a surprise.
02:00Let's see what has happened.
02:04You are saying that there was no specific threat alert and this was a surprise.
02:08And this is happening in a very secure area.
02:11So, should we call it a security lapse?
02:14Will you consider it a security lapse?
02:16Right now, let's just confirm what has happened.
02:22Sir, this incident has been going on for more than 1.5 hours.
02:24You are the Minister of Internal Affairs of Sindh.
02:26Do you think that the situation of the area,
02:32the journalists must be telling you about the condition of the area?
02:34Sir, I want to hear from you, Mr. Lanjhaar.
02:37I want to hear from you, sir. You are responsible.
02:39I am just entering the airport area.
02:42Sir, you must have contacted some people within 1.5 hours.
02:45Yes, I have contacted them.
02:47These things are very important.
02:52It is not good to disclose anything to the national media without confirmation.
02:59How many people are injured?
03:02Approximately 7-8 people are injured.
03:05And you are saying that there are police officers and rangers as well?
03:07Yes.
03:10How many police officers and rangers do you want to tell us?
03:13There are 4 police officers and 2 rangers and some private people.
03:20Sir, do you want to tell us if this incident is a terrorist attack or not?
03:25Because initially, there was a report of an oil tanker,
03:28but the oil tanker is not present at the time.
03:31We cannot say that it is an oil tanker,
03:34but it is definitely a terrorist attack.
03:38Without gathering evidence,
03:41please inform us in the first hour.
03:45Sir, the first hour has passed and 30 minutes have passed.
03:48In fact, it is almost 2 hours now.
03:50Allah will make it better.
03:51Do you want to tell us who was the target and who was the foreign caravan?
03:56It has passed, sir.
03:56Sir, I will definitely inform you as long as I can gather information.
04:00What did you talk to the IG about, Mr. Lanjhaar,
04:02if you can share that with the national media?
04:03I have also asked the IG to reach this spot and give me information.
04:08He has not given me any confirmed information yet.
04:11When will you get the confirmed information, sir, so that we can inform you again?
04:14Inshallah, we will inform you in the next 1-2 hours.
04:17Things will come in front of everyone.
04:19Thank you very much.
04:21Salman Lodhi, our representative is with us and Chand Nawab is also with us.
04:25Salman Lodhi will be with us from Jaya Wakua
04:28and our representative Chand Nawab will be with us from Jinnah Hospital.
04:31Salman, while coming to you,
04:33please tell us in the beginning that Jaya Wakua has been cleared,
04:37the rescue operation has been completed,
04:39and the wounded have been transferred to the hospital.
04:43Sir, I will tell you,
04:44because half an hour ago, there was a fire at the scene.
04:47Now the fire has been extinguished.
04:49The security department has cordoned off the entire area
04:51and the search for the caravans has also started.
04:55Because there was such a powerful explosion
04:57that the caravans' caravans were spread far and wide.
05:01The security department has cordoned off the entire area
05:03and the search has started.
05:04In CTD KT, in BD KT,
05:06crime scene units have reached the scene
05:08and the search for this case has also started.
05:10All the wounded have been taken to the hospital from Wakua first.
05:14After that, they have been transferred to Jinnah Hospital.
05:16One person has been injured in this incident.
05:18The police say that this caravan was targeted.
05:22Along with this, the convoy that was targeted,
05:26from there, if I tell you the exact position of Wakua,
05:28there were four caravans that were completely destroyed.
05:31There was a fire, there was an explosion,
05:34and there was a fire for more than half an hour.
05:37Two caravans were partially damaged.
05:40A rickshaw and a motorcycle were also passing through the city.
05:43These spots, if I can tell you,
05:45from the airport to the Model Colony,
05:47there is a road that connects to Shahra-e-Faisal.
05:50So, it was targeted on the road to Shahra-e-Faisal
05:53and the explosion took place at that spot.
05:54And if we talk about its radius,
05:57the area around it is so large
05:59that after the explosion that took place around it,
06:01there was a fire in the trees and bushes
06:03after which two cars had to reach here.
06:06One car reached here, but the other car also got damaged
06:09so that the fire could be put out around it.
06:11If we talk about Wakua,
06:12after the police and rangers called,
06:14the investigation into this incident has begun.
06:16The search has also begun around it.
06:18The number of criminals that have been transferred to the hospital,
06:21the rangers and police are also involved in this.
06:23The rescue team says that one person has lost his life
06:27in this explosion and has not been identified yet.
06:30Okay, Salman, we will come back to you
06:31and take further details from you.
