00:00The U.S. has ordered travel bans to be imposed on Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Lebanon.
00:17The names of Libya, Palestine, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are also included in the list.
00:22South Korea, Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela are also under threat of travel bans.
00:26Countries that do not follow the travel bans will be affected.
00:30The citizens of the countries included in the list will not be able to go to the U.S.
00:34Travel bans will probably be divided into two groups.
00:37The people of the orange group will be able to travel to the U.S. in limited numbers.
00:41The countries of the yellow group will get two months to implement the travel bans.
00:46Travel bans can be imposed on the U.S. tomorrow.
00:49Many countries, including Pakistan, can be included in this list.
00:52What will be the impact of the U.S. decision on Pakistan-U.S. relations?
00:56We will find out. We have with us the international affairs expert, Huma Baqai Sahiba.
01:00Huma Sahiba, thank you very much for your valuable time.
01:03Recently, we saw that both countries cooperated with each other in the war against terrorism.
01:08Now, what impact do you think this decision will have on bilateral relations?
01:15First of all, we need to understand that this decision is not specifically for Pakistan.
01:22Pakistan's name was included in the list.
01:27This debate has been going on since then.
01:30Our ambassadors from the State Department have sought clarity, but no clarity has been given yet.
01:39My personal opinion is that there will be a lot of scrutinization.
01:44For example, some facilities will be withdrawn.
01:49But, as such, there will be no blanket travel ban on Pakistan.
01:55What impact will the decision have on the Pakistani residents and their families?
02:04Overall, Trump's policies discourage immigration.
02:11They discourage movement.
02:14Especially, they discourage movement that will lead to a permanent settlement in the U.S.
02:20So, I think whatever comes under that policy, there will be some difficulties.
02:26But, you can see that he has also introduced a golden visa.
02:31That is, the affluent people want to come to the U.S.
02:36But, along with that, his home-ranked security, his policy of inward-looking,
02:42he is bringing a new policy under all these things.
02:46There is a lot of noise on this policy because he brought it in his first term as well.
02:50And as soon as the Biden administration came, the next day he ended it.
02:55At that time, it was largely for Muslim Middle Eastern countries.
02:59Now, more countries are being included.
03:02I think there will be more scrutiny for Pakistan.
03:05And those who are busy, they will not be allowed to come.
03:10But, I would also like to request you that these kinds of blanket travel bans are still there.
03:16Today, I am talking to you.
03:18There are a lot of people whose visas are revoked by the U.S.
03:22This thing is happening quietly now.
03:24Now, it has come in the press.
03:25So, there is more talk about it.
03:27And see, Pakistan has problems with its passport.
03:30Because this is not just a matter of the U.S.
03:33Dubai is also doing it.
03:35At the moment, our people are struggling to go to Dubai as well.
03:38Visas are being rejected.
03:39So, overall, we have a problem with Riyadh as well.
03:42As you know, there was an issue on Baigree.
03:45So, I think, overall, when you are standing on your feet, the problems are less.
03:49And if you have problems and people are running away from you,
03:52whether on boats or through visas, then there are difficulties.
03:57Okay.
03:58Huma Bakai Sahiba, please stay with us.
04:00We will talk more.
04:01Analyst Faiz Rahman is also with us.
04:03Mr. Faiz Rahman, thank you very much.
04:05You gave your precious time to the RY.
04:06If the name of Pakistan is also included in this list,
04:09then what do you think will be the consequences of this?
04:14See, there are some bad news and some good news in this.
04:19So, let me give you the bad news first.
04:22So, the bad news is that yes, there is speculation.
04:26I won't even call it a rumor.
04:28But the speculation is that the name of Pakistan can be included in that list.
04:34Now, come to the good news.
04:36The good news is, again, the New York Times report is that
04:41three categories are being made, red, orange and yellow.
04:45And it is clear that the country under which restrictions will be imposed,
04:50its name will be included in that category.
04:54So, my own opinion is that if the name of Pakistan is included,
04:58then it will not be included in the first category,
05:01but in the second or third category.
05:03The stricter controls here, i.e. the process of vetting,
05:09will be a deep vetting.
05:13Number two, the good news is that
05:17just a while ago, the Fox News channel in Washington, D.C.,
05:21according to the update they have given,
05:25a draft ban is being prepared in the State Department right now.
05:31And the name they have told, I am quoting Fox News,
05:34there is no name of Pakistan in the draft.
05:38Now, I don't know if that anchor has erased the name of Pakistan
05:45or if the name of Pakistan is actually included,
05:48but that's exactly what I heard on Fox News,
05:52that the name of Pakistan is not in the draft.
05:55Now, look, there are a few other important things.
05:58For us, the good news, as I said,
06:01and after that, the atmosphere in the whole of America about Pakistan
06:06and the entire federal government,
06:09especially when Donald Trump thanked Pakistan,
06:13not only on the occasion, which is very important,
06:17that there was a joint session of Congress
06:20and the whole world was literally watching him,
06:22every American was watching him.
06:24So, on that occasion, he thanked Pakistan.
06:27And not only did he do it, but in almost every department,
06:30from the National Security Advisor
06:33to the Defense Department, State Department,
06:36and many other departments, he continuously thanked them.
06:39So, this means that there is an atmosphere in Pakistan right now,
06:43fortunately, that I have a lot of hope that
06:47if the name of Pakistan is included in the final list next week,
06:53then it will not be included.
06:56If it happens, then of course it will be unfortunate,
06:59and there is another reason for that.
07:01They say that if this list is released,
07:04then these three categories, red, orange, and yellow,
07:07the name of Pakistan will not be included in any of them.
07:11If it happens, then it will be in orange or yellow,
07:15but I have full hope that what I am hearing,
07:18and as I said, the positive things about the atmosphere in Pakistan,
07:27then perhaps Pakistan will pass through it.
07:30But keep one thing in mind,
07:32your viewers should remember,
07:34that the name of Pakistan is being taken,
07:37that too only to the extent of newsleaks,
07:40the reason for that is not only Pakistan and Pakistanis,
07:44the reason for that is that there are some cases in Pakistan,
07:49you know better, that there are many non-Pakistanis
07:53who easily get a Pakistani passport,
07:56but in Pakistan, the Afghans, especially the Fahrists,
08:00are trying to understand what I am saying,
08:03that because of the corruption of passports,
08:07some people get passports that are not Pakistani,
08:11and that too on Pakistani passports.
08:14So if we come to the yellow list,
08:17then the yellow list means that we will be given 90 days to Pakistan,
08:2160 days, and it will be said that in those 60 days,
08:24you fix all your matters,
08:26otherwise we will impose restrictions on you.
08:29So for Pakistan, look again,
08:31good or bad, everything is going on together,
08:34a good opportunity is that,
08:36taking advantage of this opportunity,
08:38the corruption in passports and offices across the country,
08:41should be controlled.
08:43Such speakers who go out on Pakistani passports,
08:47but are not Pakistani,
08:49and then crimes are committed there,
08:51Pakistan is defamed.
08:53These are the things due to which
08:55the name of Pakistan is likely to come in that list.
08:59Okay, Mr. Faiz Zaman,
09:02please say this,
09:04we pray that our name does not fall in any list,
09:08neither red, nor orange, nor yellow,
09:10but if, for suppose,
09:12if we fall in the yellow line,
09:14then the way it will be,
09:16the two months or 90 days that you are saying will be given,
09:19and now the way it is,
09:21what will be the difference in that?
09:23And for suppose, if we fall in orange,
09:25then what will happen?
09:27Yes, look, the meaning of orange will be that,
09:30control over you will already be more strict.
09:34That is, if the visa is called to you,
09:36it will be a long interview,
09:38more documents will be asked,
09:40more boarding at the airport,
09:43there will be more investigation of everything.
09:46So if you come in orange,
09:49then obviously,
09:51your scrutiny will be stricter.
09:56If you come in red,
09:58then it is an outright ban,
10:00which means that even those who have been issued a visa,
10:03and those who have not traveled yet,
10:05or rather those who have already traveled and are present in America,
10:08their visas can also be cancelled.
10:10That will be a very strict matter,
10:13and obviously it will have a very strong impact.
10:16But if we come in yellow,
10:18orange and yellow,
10:20then there is room for improvement for us.
10:22And look, our channels in Pakistan,
10:25they have opened up a bit,
10:27for conversation.
10:29There are phone calls, etc.
10:31So the government has the opportunity
10:34to lobby on this matter,
10:36and get relief for the Pakistanis.
10:38And God willing, it will happen.
10:40Mr. Faiz, Bureau Chief, Washington DC,
10:42where Zeb Ali is also present with us,
10:44where Zeb, Donald Trump is on to giving surprises every day.
10:48And where we saw in the past few days,
10:50he was a big fan of Pakistan.
10:52And in his address to Congress,
10:54he thanked Pakistan and praised Pakistan.
10:56Now we see that it is possible that Pakistan's name
10:58can be included in any one of the three categories.
11:03If Pakistan's name is included in any one category,
11:06then what impact do you see on its pure American relations?
11:11Look, the relations between Pakistan and America
11:14are always based on interests.
11:17What are the interests of America,
11:19it carries forward its relations with Pakistan.
11:22But the most important thing is
11:24why is Pakistan's name included in this category.
11:27Look, when the presidential elections were going on here,
11:31a few days ago, a few weeks ago,
11:34a person named Asif Merchant was arrested
11:36from the JFK airport in New York,
11:38who took a flight from Pakistan to America.
11:42And he was accused of having a relationship with Iran.
11:48And he came here on a mission
11:51that he was planning to kill American politicians,
11:53congressmen, senators, and even presidential candidates.
11:58He also hired some hitmen,
12:01who later turned out to be agents.
12:03So there are such incidents,
12:06when such a terrorist from Pakistan,
12:09how did such a terrorist come here with a flight from Pakistan
12:12and when he was going back from the JFK airport,
12:14he was arrested from there.
12:16Pakistan was going back.
12:17These are all things that are in the mind of Trump and Netanyahu.
12:20They are present in their documents,
12:22they are present in the documents of the State Department
12:24when this new policy is being formulated.
12:26That such countries from where the passengers,
12:28their vetting process is not correct.
12:31And as Mr. Bisay Zaman was also saying,
12:33that there are many people who have a Pakistani passport,
12:36although they are not Pakistani.
12:37So the system of vetting of the passengers,
12:40that is extremely defective.
12:42And in these countries, Pakistan's name is also being included.
12:45And these are the reasons that Pakistan is also included in these countries.
12:49The second thing is that,
12:51you have to see in which category Pakistan comes under ban.
12:55But every country has a specific visa number,
12:59that Pakistan will get so many visas this year,
13:02in that too, there is a big decrease in Pakistan.
13:05And these are the things that terrorism is increasing in Pakistan.
13:09Now you see that a new tablet advisory has been issued for Pakistan,
13:13in which it has been said that terrorism has increased in Pakistan,
13:16and travel should not be allowed there.
13:18Absolutely.
13:19The situation will be clear only when this order will be issued tomorrow.
13:23Jahanza-e-Bali, Huma Baqai Sahiba, Faiz Zaman,
13:25thank you for your time.
13:29Will you include more news after the break?
13:31Stay with us.
13:35Welcome back.
14:01The Prime Minister has expressed confidence in the security measures
14:05taken by the Nehru-Kuram, Amno-Aman and Balochistan.
14:08The Prime Minister has given Iftar and Isha'iyah
14:11to the People's Party delegation headed by Bilawal Bhutto.
14:13After the Iftar and Isha'iyah given at the Prime Minister's house,
14:16Bilawal Bhutto met the Prime Minister at the delegation level.
14:19The Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said that
14:21to improve the country's future,
14:22all political parties must work together.
14:25The President of the country, Tasef Ali Zardari,
14:29opposed the removal of the river from Sindh.
14:32At the end of the parliamentary year,
14:34in a joint parliamentary address,
14:36President Zardari said that
14:38the government's decision to remove the river from Sindh is one-sided.
14:41Such decisions are putting pressure on the alliance.
14:44During the President's address,
14:46the opposition members kept shouting and shouting.
14:50Let us put national interest supreme.
14:53Set aside personal and political differences.
14:56Let us work together to revive our economy.
15:00As your President, my personal obligation
15:04to caution the House,
15:06the lateral policies are causing grave strain on the Federation.
15:11In particular, the government's unilateral decision
15:15to carve out some canals,
15:18in the Indus River.
15:20I, as your President, cannot support.
15:23I urge this government to abandon this correct
15:26first proposal and work together with the stakeholders
15:31to come up with a viable, sustainable solution
15:35based on unanimous consensus among the Federation units.
15:41The President of the country, Tasef Ali Zardari,
15:43opposed the removal of the river from Sindh.
15:45To discuss this issue,
15:47Pakistan People's Party Leader Taimur Talpur is with us.
15:50Taimur sir, thank you very much for giving your valuable time to ARY.
15:53Today, when President Zardari gave his speech,
15:56he also opposed the removal of the river from Sindh.
15:59Apart from this, when the Chairman of the People's Party,
16:01Bilawal Bhutto, met with the Prime Minister today,
16:04he also said the same thing.
16:06So, sir, do you think the people's party is going to listen and agree to this?
16:13Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Thank you very much.
16:15Look, first of all, we have to understand that the President of Pakistan
16:19is a symbol of loyalty,
16:21and he is the President of this country,
16:23of the Pak Army,
16:25of unity, faith and discipline, of that slogan.
16:28Today, if you come and see what the conditions of Sindh are,
16:32in every city, every district of Sindh,
16:35there is this commotion.
16:37Perhaps we saw this commotion
16:40when the Kala Bagh Dam was announced,
16:43and the people of Sindh did not allow this to happen.
16:45Being the dictators of that time,
16:47we made sure that this did not happen.
16:50And today, we are going in the same direction.
16:53Every party of Sindh,
16:55every young man and old man of Sindh,
16:58today is against that slogan.
17:00And it is the responsibility of President Asif Ali Zardari
17:04or Chairman Bilawal Bhutto,
17:06I would like to say that he is fully aware of his responsibility
17:10to keep this country united.
17:12These are some things that are very important.
17:15Not only do we have to highlight them,
17:18but we will have to take a stand.
17:20And because this is the party of the masses,
17:22we will have to spread this message everywhere,
17:25whether it is the government of loyalty,
17:27whether it is our armed forces,
17:29whether it is our institutions.
17:31We will have to tell everywhere
17:33that we cannot do anything
17:35in which we see that Sindh's future is at stake.
17:39In which Sindh's agriculture,
17:41which is already our backbone,
17:44or the situation today would have been that
17:46the whole of Sindh would have been at a loss.
17:48Today, the situation would have been that
17:49there would have been no shortage of water anywhere.
17:51If we have a water shortage for 15 days,
17:54then water comes for 7 days.
17:55So, if you take water from the Indus river
17:58and dry one place to irrigate another,
18:02then what kind of justice will this be?
18:03So, I think that the people of Sindh,
18:05the leadership of Sindh,
18:06the President of Pakistan,
18:08Chairman Bilal Ghotak Zardari,
18:10should not let this happen.
18:11And they should explain to the government
18:13that they should not make such a mistake
18:15that the gaps in Balochistan,
18:18and the rest of the provinces,
18:19should not be filled by Sindh again.
18:22Thank you very much, Mr. Taimur Talpoor,
18:24for your time.
18:27Asif Zardari is controversial.
18:29He does not believe in the symbol of loyalty.
18:31That is why he protested during the address.
18:33Outside the Parliament of the opposition leaders,
18:35he spoke to the media.
18:36Barrister Gohar said,
18:37the address of President Zardari was clear.
18:39The decisions are out of the question.
18:41The Chairman of the Senate was present.
18:43The President would have asked
18:44why Ajaz Chaudhary was not produced.
18:46Opposition leader Umar Ayub challenged the government.
18:49He said, let's go to the markets.
18:50Ask the public whether the inflation has decreased or increased.
18:54Zardari is a controversial President.
18:56He does not understand the symbol of loyalty.
18:58That is why he protested during his speech.
19:00Mr. Asif Ali Zardari to address.
19:07Zardari's speech reiterated that
19:09all decisions are out of the question.
19:12The Chairman of the Senate was present.
19:14The President would have asked
19:15why Ajaz Chaudhary was not produced.
19:17He said, let's go to the markets.
19:18Ask the public whether the inflation has decreased or increased.
19:24It is an open challenge.
19:25Shahbaz Sharif and his ministers
19:27came to the markets with us.
19:28They came without any security.
19:29Ask the public whether the inflation has decreased or increased.
19:32This is the rule of law in Pakistan.
19:38These people are behaving as if everything is normal.
19:41All the illegal actions are taking place.
19:43They should be held accountable.
19:45The Prime Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz said
19:47that the opposition has laid the foundation of ill-manneredness and ill-culture.
19:50Now these people are becoming its target.
19:52While speaking to the media in the Parliament, he said,
19:55people need progress.
19:56They need a solution to their problems.
19:57They need a reduction in inflation.
19:59They have come to know
20:00the difference between ill-manneredness, ill-culture and service.
20:05They have laid the foundation of ill-manneredness and ill-culture.
20:08Now they are becoming its target.
20:10This is a permanent thing that is ending.
20:13It will end soon.
20:14It has completed its life cycle.
20:16People have become aware.
20:18This ill-manneredness and ill-culture
20:20has not given people anything.
20:21People need progress.
20:22People need a solution to their problems.
20:24People need a reduction in inflation.
20:26Now they are seeing that the economy is improving.
20:29The situation is improving.
20:31They have come to know
20:32the difference between ill-manneredness, ill-culture and service.
20:35Chairman People's Party, Bilawal Bhutto said
20:37that the opposition is not serious at all.
20:40They are not interested in the issues of the people.
20:42Nor do they prefer to find a solution to them.
20:44The opposition only wants to highlight politics.
20:46The government has made improvements in the economy.
20:56It has been mentioned and praised.
20:59It has highlighted the problems.
21:03The opposition is not serious at all.
21:08They are not interested in the issues of the people.
21:13Nor do they prefer to find a solution.
21:15The opposition only wants to highlight politics.
21:22In the case of ill-manneredness and ill-culture,
21:2425 members of PTI were re-selected yesterday.
21:27JIT had also re-selected 25 members of PTI.
21:30Barrister Gauhar, Rauf Hassan and Shah Farman
21:33were in front of JIT.
21:34JIT had investigated for 5 hours.
21:36Zaraika says that Shah Farman
21:38behaved inappropriately in front of JIT.
21:41PTI leaders and social media team
21:43were re-selected in front of JIT yesterday.
21:46Zaraika says that Salman Akram Raja,
21:48Rauf Hassan, Firdous Amin Naqvi, Khalid Khurshid,
21:50Aslam Iqbal, Hammad Azhar, Alia Hamza
21:52and other leaders are among the candidates.
21:59PTI is an alliance of terrorists.
22:01The Minister of Defence, Khawaja Asif,
22:03told the media that everyone knows
22:05that terrorists were brought to Pakistan.
22:08The operation will continue
