00:00 I was going to say, "Oh my God, how expensive!"
00:03 That's our background music.
00:06 Oh my God, how expensive!
00:07 But we'll make you happy.
00:09 And our wish is that since we're matching with Afghanistan,
00:11 we have a golden opportunity to come in first place.
00:15 I hope to God.
00:16 Our record is very good.
00:17 Anyway, what Ashfaq is saying,
00:19 we're not joking.
00:22 It's very serious.
00:23 The person I meet,
00:25 even if it's a short conversation,
00:27 whether it's a woman or a man,
00:30 he's always saying, "It's too expensive."
00:33 "It's difficult to survive."
00:34 Then he starts talking about the bill.
00:36 "So much money goes into petrol."
00:38 "So much money goes into groceries."
00:40 "What do we do? Where do we go?"
00:42 Sadaf, the chicken has reached abroad.
00:45 You can't even think of mutton.
00:47 The price of beef is also in front of you.
00:49 The sources of protein used to be lentils,
00:52 and apart from that, eggs.
00:54 Okay. Now tell me, my brother...
00:57 Tell me the price of eggs.
00:58 ...which are available here and there.
00:59 Not 300, 320.
01:01 320.
01:02 Now, if there are eggs worth 320 rupees in the month of August,
01:07 just do the math.
01:09 In the summers, eggs used to cost 80 rupees.
01:13 In the winters, they used to cost 150 rupees.
01:16 Now, if eggs are worth 320 in the summers,
01:18 won't they reach 400-500 in the winters?
01:21 Forget about the winters, let's talk about the summers.
01:24 There was a time when this term was famous.
01:27 260 was a big double root.
01:29 Yes, this term was famous.
01:31 This term was famous because eggs were thrown away.
01:35 Now, no one can afford to throw eggs.
01:37 No one can afford to kill eggs.
01:39 Neither can tomatoes.
01:40 This was the time when people protested.
01:42 Tomatoes cost 160 rupees per kilo.
01:44 I'll tell you the rate because this tomato costs 160.
01:47 Ginger costs 950 rupees per kilo.
01:50 Tell me, when you take 2000 rupees to buy vegetables,
01:55 potatoes used to be so expensive that they were not available for more than 40 rupees per kilo.
02:02 1.5 years ago, 2 years ago.
02:04 Potatoes are now 110 rupees per kilo.
02:07 110 to 120.
02:08 And sweets are at a relatively low rate.
02:11 You can calculate the rates of onions.
02:13 You are talking about potatoes and onions.
02:14 It used to be between 20 to 30.
02:16 And there was such a thing in the house that when nothing was available,
02:19 you couldn't get mint and coriander.
02:21 You used to make potatoes.
02:22 And in the earlier days, when we went to buy vegetables,
02:26 we used to add green chilies, lemon.
02:28 Sadaf, it's not the first time, it's 2-3 years ago.
02:31 Now I will call it the first time because our purchasing power has increased so much.
02:39 I remember, Sadaf, I will tell you,
02:41 while living here with BKS,
02:43 we went to Jodhia Bazaar for a shoot.
02:46 So, our neighbor was giving ginger for 100 rupees per pound.
02:51 The ginger we got from Jodhia Bazaar was about 200 rupees per kilo.
02:54 I said, look, there is such a difference.
02:56 Now you can guess that ginger is from 950 to 1000 rupees per kilo.
02:59 Oh God!
03:00 Okay, let me tell you that the bill that has come from the Institute of Statistics,
03:05 it says that lentils, rice, sugar, meat, everything has become expensive.
03:10 Now the prices of 32 items have increased.
03:12 While on an annual basis, the alcohol price has reached 27.5%.
03:17 What is being said?
03:18 The rise in the dollar, the decline in the rupee, the continuous decline,
03:22 the dollar has risen by 297 rupees while presenting in the Interbank.
03:26 In such a situation, we see that this is a problem not only in terms of groceries,
03:30 but also in terms of food and drink.
03:32 Along with this, people also pay the fees of their children in their homes,
03:35 pay the electricity bill, also pay the rent.
03:37 Look at the petrol.
03:38 When you go from one place to another, you have to pay the price of petrol.
03:42 There is one more thing.
03:43 Sadaf, there is one more thing.
03:45 60 to 70 rupees per kilo of bananas were sold.
03:48 We are still looking at their rates.
03:49 Everything has become expensive.
03:51 I represented Karachi and told the rates from Karachi.
03:57 And Sadaf also supported and contributed in this.
04:00 What is the situation in other cities of the country?
04:02 So our brothers, our representatives will also be present with us from there.
04:05 Who are they? Mirza Ahmed Ali will be present with us.
04:08 From Multan, Shahwar, we have Shahzad Mehmood with us.
04:11 And he will tell us about the situation there.
04:14 Let us know about the situation there.
04:15 We have told you a little about the situation in Karachi.
04:18 But obviously, people can inform you more about this in a full way.
04:23 Let us ask our representative Shahzad Mehmood from Peshawar.
04:26 Shahzad, you tell us that the situation is the same here.
04:30 Whether it is mutton or chicken, the prices are increasing.
04:35 And people's purchasing power is decreasing.
04:38 If we talk about inflation, then this is the situation from Khyber to Karachi.
04:45 Unfortunately, the different shopkeepers here, the traders, whenever we talk to them,
04:52 they say that whenever the price of petroleum is increased, its prices increase.
04:59 Although it is also true that the prices of petroleum products increase,
05:03 and the prices of food also increase.
05:06 Unfortunately, we do not see the role of the government, the local authorities.
05:14 If the price of petroleum increases, then it is okay for the price of food to increase.
05:21 However, the daily rate of self-sufficiency is increasing day by day.
05:27 We have not seen any action taken by the local authorities to completely end this daily routine.
05:46 We are present at the largest chicken market in Peshawar.
05:51 People have forgotten to eat chicken.
05:57 The price of chicken was Rs. 180 per kilo, and today it is Rs. 420.
06:06 For the past few months, it has been Rs. 420 per kilo.
06:11 This is the price of chicken.
06:14 If you look at the price of mutton, people have forgotten to eat mutton.
06:21 If you look at the price of other meat, it has reached Rs. 850 per kilo.
06:30 The local authorities are demanding that the prices of meat should not be increased.
06:39 This is why people are suffering.
06:44 If you look at the electricity bill, gas bill and other household expenses,
06:52 the prices are increasing day by day.
06:55 We have seen changes in the last two months.
06:59 Earlier, we used to see that the prices would be sustained for two months, but now it is not.
07:03 The prices of petrol and electricity are also increasing in 15 days.
07:06 But if you go to the market to buy things, the prices are increasing every hour.
07:11 The rates are not even shown.
07:14 Mr. Mirza, please tell us what is happening in Multan.
07:17 We have told you about the prices here.
07:20 There is a series of inflation and unfair profitability.
07:25 No one is asking about the price control.
07:29 What is the situation there?
07:31 In Multan, there is a series of inflation.
07:39 There are price control committees, but they are only available in the name.
07:43 They are not visible anywhere.
07:45 There are a lot of net prices in the markets.
