that pakistan is not key -- that pakistan is not a regional actor, that pakistan is not key to peace in south asia. united states should engage pakistan as an influential actor, is a consequential actor in south asian politics. the these instability -- the peace and stability that impinges on u.s.-led diplomacy there. when it comes to china, our aspiration is that the united states and china, the two biggest economies, two big powers, they would sort out there probl-- their problems through diplomacy and would never reach a point where they have to confront each other militarily, because such a war would be messy not just for the two countries but for the entire world. finally, i would like to say that you have to realize the full potential of pakistan. you look at the west asian hemisphere to which i referred. pakistan is the largest population there. look at central, west asia, north africa, east africa. pakistan has the biggest demographic force in every field. daniel: youth, population, any of that. amb. khan: i also refer to economic geography. we can be a destination for invest

the twelfth election it started this morning in pakistan. in this election, which is going on to win seats in the national assembly and state assemblies, 1786 candidates in 85. internet and telecommunication services have been suspended throughout pakistan since this morning to prevent terrorist incidents. pakistan's ministry of interior announced that it has taken this measure to prevent terrorist incidents. if there is any problem, you should still participate in the election process because we are the ones who choose the next government. in the 2024 elections of pakistan, more than 90,000 voting centers it has been opened all over the country. all politicians are elected by the people's votes and we have participated in the elections today because we want to elect a strong government in our country. this is despite the fact that at least 30 people died and more than 50 were injured in terrorist incidents in different regions of pakistan, especially in baluchistan province. pakistani officials claim that these actions were meant to disrupt

everyone knows — everything in pakistan. him on tv, and i know how bombastic he normally is. and he's not that man anymore. he was a shell of himself. and yes, he was prepared to answer questions, and he was prepared to share part of what happened to him, but when it comes to the subject of why he was arrested, who it was, were these individuals or agents of the state, there's a lot of implication, but not a lot of explicit information. and the most rational information i can think of, there, for him deciding that he does not want to share that in this moment is fear. imran riaz won't name his captors, but the organisation reporters without borders have suggested that the way he was held points to the involvement of military intelligence, or the isi. asad toor is a youtuber who has been unrepentant in his critique of the military�*s grip on pakistani life. he believes his uncompromising analysis and huge online following have planted him firmly on the military�*s radar. in may 2021, asad ali toor was seriously assaulted in h

pakistan has a government that is federal and state. this government has three branches, the judiciary and the executive, which are four governments or five governments , because there is also an independent kashmir, and the northern regions are made up of four state governments and one federal government. that an election was held for this and out of 260 seats, the election was started, but due to the murder of one of the candidates , one of the constituencies was not held, and the election was held for 265 other seats. elections now, the honorable viewers know that pakistan is such that there should be parties in the parliament and mr. imran khan's party. which operated under the title of tehreek-e-insaf pakistan , for reasons that your time may not allow, he was not able to participate in the elections, and because pakistan has a low level of public literacy, every party has a symbol, and that symbol was for mr. imran khan and his party. it was taken from them , that's why they participated in the elections independently or freely. n

during an attack, he fled pakistan.he uae, he was told he didn't have the paperwork to remain. it was then that he left for kenya, where he went into hiding. a month later, news broke. arshad sharif had been shot in the head at a police roadblock. javaria siddique is still looking for answers about the death of her husband. assalamu alaikum. javaria — it's mobeen. what do you know, at this stage, about the circumstances of his death? i think they have stopped him, they have recognised him, and then they shoot him on the instructions, as per the guard, because it is a target killing. you said this was a target killing. who do you believe ordered that target killing? the people who threatened him in pakistan said "we're going to shoot you in the head if you keep exposing the corruption of the ruling elite and the powerful people of pakistan" — they did it. you seem to be suggesting that it is agents of the pakistani state that ordered the killing of your husband. yes. clearly. because... he was threatened in pakistan and

tonight there is no government in pakistan.oth claimed victory and admitted that he needs a coalition to form a majority. here's joe inwood. this this was not supposed to happen. their leader was imprisoned. their party was shut down, forced to run as independents. even their symbol, the cricket bat, was banned from ballot papers. yet, somehow last night it was supporters of imran khan who were celebrating. for some, a triumph of democracy. after all of that, the fact that they were able to muster the kind of performance that they did is a testament to two things, in my view. one, pakistan's people believe and own up to the fact that they have a right to elect a democratically elected government. and two, that they have immense resilience and immense faith in the democratic process, to come out and vote, despite everything that was thrown in their way to prevent them from exercising their right to vote. but it was also testament to the failure of the army to cope with the technology and techniques of imran khan's party. just to

a lot of questions around pakistan's economic stability can't be discussed without pakistan's politicalother half hour from now. and pakistan's election, there are questions around its credibility, there are also questions around pakistan's incoming government and whether it is a legitimate government to actually assume a power and that really does translate into economic stabilisation. the priority for the government is to negotiate this imf deal, like you said in your introduction, 29% inflation, roughly $30 billion inflation, roughly $30 billion in pakistan's annual external debt obligations. there is a mass exodus of skilled and technical labour that is leaving the country and pakistan is really going to have to navigate space very carefully. there is a lot of focus on the imf, there has been a lot of talk in the lead up been a lot of talk in the lead up to elections, on election day, but very little conversation about what happens the day after. for the government, this is going to be very, very difficult. you do have a coalition government thatis have a coalition government that i

in the first principle of the 1947 constitution of pakistan, it is mentioned that the country of pakistan will be a federal republic known as the islamic republic of pakistan. according to the constitution of pakistan, the official religion of the country is islam. pakistan's political structure consists of an organized power. the federal parliament of the state assemblies will also have its own representatives with national elections to elect representatives. the term of the national assembly is 5 years from the day of the first session. beginning and if not dissolved in it will continue until the end of the period and will be dissolved at the end. the national assembly of pakistan has 342 members, which consists of 272 general seats, 60 seats for women and 10 seats for minorities. the election of the prime minister will be one of the duties of the parliament. the senate consists of 104 members who are elected for a period of 6 years. each state has 23 members in the senate. the senate is the only pakistani parliament that will not be dissolved in any way and the retirement process will

i want to ask pakistan how you evaluate the cooperation between iran and pakistan in the field of thenian issue and also the sympathy of the public opinion of pakistan with the people of iran and regarding the issue of palestine, the people of pakistan are muslim people, they are religious people , they are sentimental people, and in terms of religion and in terms of values , compared to many other countries, their people believe in islam, and their relationship with iran is also not just a political relationship. culturally, civilizationally, historically, in terms of. religion and beliefs are the two nations of the muslim nation and they love and respect each other, so if you tell the children who work in the radio and television there, they should do an interview with the general public of pakistan and send this message to the pakistanis. to iran you see that iran is both our neighboring country and our brother country, so pakistan has enemies and iran has enemies, the enemies of these two countries are always trying to create a series of problems on the borders under various prete

you have attacked pakistan.ainly seems like thef action of iran and the allies do not suggest you are trying to keep this war from spreading. it seems as though you are encouraging it escalation. next i agree with you. the rest of asia right now we are witnessing the enlargement of the crisis intentions. but these tensions are not rooted on what happened on the seventh of october. hamas is a palestinian liberation group has been fighting against occupation to liberate the occupied territories of palestine. they carried out an operation of course. we never agree or approve of the killing of women and children anywhere in the world. but i want to tell you it's not7 rooted on what happened the seventh of october 2 rooted 75 years ago in palestine was occupied by the israeli regime. from the very beginning of this side of the war in gaza which followed the seventh of october operation we gave t warnings the war crimes and genocide against gaza and the west bank. they do not stop. the war will spread out but it will
