Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar Haq Kakar has said that even after TTP comes to rub their noses, the family members have the right to forgive or not.
In the eleventh hour program, the caretaker prime minister gave a special interview and said that first of all we have to think about Pakistanis and what is in their hearts. Afghan citizens have been our guests. We want illegal residents to come back after producing documents.
Anwar Haq Kakar said that negotiations cannot be held with terrorists. If someone still thinks that negotiations can be done, then it is unfortunate. Afghanistan was not America’s home, they had to go back. Where will we go after leaving this land?
He said that we should not talk to any terrorist group. Protection is the responsibility of the state. If they take the path of violence against the state, it is illegal. They cannot allow to adopt the path of violence under any circumstances.
Both violence and negotiation are tools of the state. The state can use both these tools whenever and wherever it wants. Negotiations are conducted when the group is deemed to be under duress.
The Prime Minister said that he considers the Supreme Court’s decision of the military courts as a victory of principle. Military installations were attacked on May 9 and their case should be tried in military courts. Those protesting before civil institutions should not be tried in military courts. The case of those who pelted stones at Supreme Court, Parliament should not be in military court.
Anwarul Haq Kakar said that it is not my job to hold PTI chief responsible for the events of May 9. Who is responsible for the events of May 9 is the work of the investigative agencies and the judiciary. The former prime minister created a political narrative by waving a paper. This should not happen.
He said that if we want to learn a lesson, then start from August 14, 1947, where mistakes were made. It is the beauty of democracy that opinions differ but the decision remains the same. Sarfraz Bagti has his own opinion which he expressed, not the decision of the cabinet.
The Caretaker Prime Minister said that even if we have 56 hours left, we will work as if it were 56 years. Relations with the establishment and the presidency are very good. The president of Pakistan is a person who loves the country. The President does not seem to interfere in the affairs of the state.
He said that acts of terrorism are taking place from Afghan soil. Afghan government can be discussed how they can control them. Steps must be taken by the Afghan government. We would like more cooperation from the Afghan government.
Anwarul Haq Kakar said that the cooperation of the Afghan interim government has been less than Pakistan’s hopes. A stable Afghanistan is a guarantee for the development and prosperity of the region. Our various departments are talking with the Afghan Interim Government. The Afghan government and we know where the attacks are coming from.
He said that we have not imposed a permanent ban on Afghan citizens. There are fake documents in our database. When those papers are made, they are also attached to the voter lists. Someone says that if fake documents are not made, then they are deceiving themselves.
Caretaker Prime Minister said that Asif Zardari’s point raised has weight in it, concerned institutions should look into it. Till date, there is no obstacle in the election. Who knows what happened yesterday, how can I tell today about yesterday.
He said that today I met the young men and they surprised me. Seeing the passion of the youth, I can say that we have won the war.
Anwarul Haq Kakar said that I have no opinion on the postponement of the election. I am not participating in the elections, so why should I give an opinion? According to my calculations, polling will be held on February 8 from 9 am to 5 pm. A satisfactory answer will be given to the Election Commission regarding the supply of forces.
JUI-F faces serious threats in Balochistan and KP. PPP, Muslim League-N and PTI are conducting workers’ convention. There is no declaratory ban on PTI holding rallies or conventions.
My first task is to fix the security issues. Let us address security issues or respond to media chatter. We are doing our best to ensure that everyone participates in the elections peacefully.
He said that domestic cricket was also discussed with PSL in the PCB meeting. Areas like Gilgit-Baltistan and Swat have beautiful cricket grounds. The PCB has been instructed to partner to bring out the soft image. All efforts are being made to hold PSL in Pakistan.
The whole world is saying no to the Palestinian solution. The remote solution was linked to us as we are proposing. Children and women are being martyred, tell me what is the solution.
He said that if there is any suggestion, bring it forward. Ask the Palestinians what they want. The Palestinians have to decide how they want to live with the Jews. Let the people whose children are martyred decide.
Let the Palestinians decide whether Hamas is their spokesperson or not. Every Palestinian is important to me. Palestinians should be given the right to decide which organization is their representative.
Anwarul Haq Kakar said that the opinion of the majority of the world should be supported. A diplomatic solution was discussed in the past and supported by Islamic countries. This is not a simple problem, it is not right to target the caretaker government on this problem.
There is no disbelief if the Parliament of Pakistan changes something after thinking. Any Pakistani government sees the interest of the Pakistani nation first. I condemn the injustice being done to our brothers and sisters.
He said that there should be consultation on what steps Pakistan takes and what the results will be. I will take a position on the request of one of the gentlemen, if it does not happen, I will be regretting it tomorrow. Consultation is a traditional practice, Parliament is coming to consult.
