(24 News) Defense minister Khawaja Asif has said that Imran Khan should fulfill his desire by calling for civil disobedience. If he wants to call, I think no one will follow his call.
Talking to the media in sialkot,the Defense Minister said that at this time the people of the country want a solution to the problems,the problems can be solved only if there is peace in the country if Islamabad is repeatedly attacked,repeatedly by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Threats will be given, politics of lies will be done.
He said that PTI members could not even see 12 dead bodies, earlier they used to say thousands and then more than 200 massacres. They are telling different numbers of dead people, no one is showing the dead bodies and their heirs, this is all a fraud party, the attack on Islamabad by PTI has been badly exposed.
He said that there are many differences in the party,it is indeed not a party but a faction,Imran Khan’s sister’s fight is with his begum,it is a separate leadership fight,this party will be defeated. There is a split in the TI, Bushra Bibi is talking about firing on the car, bring the car, there must have been some holes in the car? Gone, she is also husband In the video, Bushri Bibi is sitting in the car and waving her hands.
The Defense Minister said that Maulana Fazlur rehman is a brother and at any time we can sit down and talk about the Madrasah Bill, and we will listen to whatever concerns there are. He will leave the Judiciary, I have asked him via tweet that why Saqib Nisar or khoso Sahib or other judges have gone home quietly before this, the decisions that were being made at that time. Nawaz Sharif’s decision, the way the courts targeted him, at that time these judges did not think.
Khawaja Asif further said that measures are being taken all over the world regarding digital media, there is a great need for this thing in the country and there should be legislation.

Interview with Defense Expert on Current Political Climate in Pakistan
Time.news Editor (TNE): Welcome to our interview segment. Today,we have the honor of speaking with Dr. Ali Raza, a renowned political analyst and defense expert, to discuss the recent comments by Defense Minister Khawaja Asif regarding Imran Khan and the larger political landscape in Pakistan.
Dr. Raza, thank you for joining us.
Dr. Ali Raza (DAR): Thank you for having me. It’s a crucial time for Pakistan, and I’m glad to discuss these crucial issues.
TNE: Let’s begin with the Defense Minister’s statement about imran Khan’s call for civil disobedience. He suggested that khan’s movement would lack support. What are your thoughts on this?
DAR: Khawaja Asif’s assertion reflects a notable divide in public sentiment. While Khan has a significant following, the Minister emphasizes the prevailing desire among citizens for stability and solutions to pressing issues rather then disruption. This notion of civil disobedience may resonate with a faction of Khan’s supporters, but it risks alienating the broader populace that seeks peace and resolution.
TNE: The Defense Minister also mentioned the ongoing political chaos and its implications for security, citing threats from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. How does political instability affect national security?
DAR: Political instability undoubtedly creates an environment of uncertainty. As Asif pointed out, frequent attacks and threats can lead to a fractured state of governance, making it tough to address security issues effectively. In times of unrest, we often see a spike in radicalism and violence, complicating the defense apparatuses’ ability to maintain order. stability is essential for any effective defense strategy.
TNE: He criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for alleged misinformation regarding casualties. What does this say about the role of accurate communication in modern politics?
DAR: Misinformation can be highly damaging, especially in a charged political atmosphere. When parties manipulate facts to serve narratives, it erodes public trust and fuels division. as minister Asif pointed out, discrepancies in casualty reports during crises can endanger lives and mislead the public. Transparency and accuracy in communication must be paramount for responsible governance—a lesson that stakeholders across the board need to consider seriously.
TNE: Regarding the internal conflicts within the PTI, the Minister mentioned personal disputes interfering with the party’s unity. How do internal rifts within political parties impact their overall effectiveness?
DAR: Internal conflicts can severely undermine a political party’s effectiveness. When leadership is preoccupied with personal disputes, as indicated by the situation between Imran Khan and his close associates, it detracts from policy focus and governance. This fragmentation not only hinders decision-making but can also disenfranchise supporters, who may feel their interests are not being prioritized. A cohesive front is essential for mobilizing public support and achieving political goals.
TNE: Lastly, Minister Asif emphasizes the need for digital media regulation. What are the implications of digital governance in today’s political framework?
DAR: As we move deeper into the digital age, the need for regulation becomes increasingly apparent.Misinformation spreads rapidly via digital platforms, necessitating robust policies that protect truth and facilitate accountability. However, it’s crucial that such regulations are balanced; they should protect against malign influences without infringing on freedom of expression. Clear legislative frameworks could foster a more informed public discourse and enhance the democratic process.
TNE: Thank you, Dr. Raza, for your insights into these critical issues. Your expertise sheds light on the complexities facing Pakistan today.
DAR: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss these vital matters. It’s essential for us to understand the implications of our political landscape as we move forward.
