00:00 The impression I have is that Mr. Ahad Cheema, you know his relationship with former Prime Minister Shabash Shreek,
00:09 he was also involved in a case.
00:12 Now he has been carried on as an advisor on establishment.
00:16 And the people sitting on the other side are saying that the entire country is in a bureaucratic state,
00:21 so they should sit on top and handle it.
00:23 Similarly, your advisor, the Minister of Communities, Mr. Tariq, he has an old relationship with Pakistan Muslim League Noon.
00:33 So, especially these development projects, the government has released a lot of grants.
00:37 The former government has not implemented on them.
00:40 So, that too is a blatant allegation from the other side.
00:46 So, in this regard, the question of Mr. Chaudhary is that the footprint of the Noon League in the current cabinet is more than necessary.
00:53 Look, I think that the bureaucrats work with different governments.
00:59 That does not mean that my secretary, the Secretary-in-Chief, is a very good man.
01:05 Today he is working with me, tomorrow if he becomes a position, he will be affiliated with me.
01:10 No, he has worked with many people before me.
01:13 Today, Mr. Chima and Mr. Panjaan, Mr. Chima is a very good man.
01:20 He has worked with many people.
01:25 Now, Mr. Chaudhary Parvez has worked with the Secretary-in-Chief, so I say that Mr. Chaudhary Parvez has a continuity.
01:30 So, the bureaucrats are different.
01:32 Maybe Mr. Taran has worked in many places like this.
01:34 The point is that the right man for the right job.
01:37 Either they should change the quantitative or the quantitative or they should stop the punjabi.
01:45 Look, I do not understand punjabi.
01:49 Stop it.
01:51 Stop it.
01:52 I do not know English so well.
01:53 Now, don't be angry.
01:56 Anyway, our effort will be done.
01:58 I was going to ask a question.
02:00 We heard that you had negotiations with the PTM.
02:07 Then, some issues were settled.
02:09 Then, they violated.
02:11 Did you find out the reason why they violated?
02:13 The negotiations with them were about Tannol.
02:17 Then, you told them that you have the right to assemble.
02:21 But, you did not violate the rights of the people.
02:27 And, you did not use such words in the criticism of Pakistan.
02:32 So, why did they do that?
02:34 And, they could not bring more than 2000 people.
02:37 But, you did not crack down on them.
02:40 So, they violated their agreement.
02:44 Look, the way we took the oath on the very first day of PTM.
02:48 PTM had announced a Jalsa and a protest in front of the Supreme Court.
02:53 So, we had only two options.
02:56 One, it was decided that we will not leave anyone in the red zone area.
03:02 No matter who they are.
03:03 144 were imposed in Islamabad in these areas.
03:07 So, we negotiated with them.
03:10 Your information is absolutely correct, brother Ahsan.
03:12 We had lengthy discussions with them for 7 to 8 hours.
03:16 And, we kept telling them to postpone it.
03:20 Finally, we agreed that they will take it to Tannol and will do it there.
03:25 In the morning, they violated the agreement in different places.
03:29 For example, they reached Islamabad.
03:31 They reached Dhi Chowk.
03:32 Yes, they reached Dhi Chowk.
03:33 We arrested them and then they went back to Tannol.
03:36 And, we had decided that you will not speak against the state.
03:43 You will not speak against the state institutions.
03:46 But, unfortunately, they continued their actions.
03:50 And, I think that they have violated the agreement in a way that is regrettable.
03:57 And, they should not have done this at this level.
04:01 And, when something is decided, they should have done it.
04:05 They can answer this better.
04:07 But, what we did was that after that, we registered the incidents, the speeches, the state's opposition.
04:15 And, they will face the court of law.
04:18 Mr. Duktya, the previous finance minister, Mr. Dar, said in his speech that
04:23 we earn dollars from the world and go across the borders.
04:28 And, what to do?
04:29 All the business in Afghanistan is based on our dollars.
04:34 So, smuggling of dollars and you know that smuggling of sugar is also a big issue.
04:41 So, did you take any briefing about how much dollars are being smuggled on the basis of daily?
04:48 The smuggling of sugar or other smuggled goods across the borders?
04:52 Look, this smuggling is bleeding the country.
04:56 Whether it is smuggling of dollars, whether it is smuggling of fertilizers, whether it is smuggling of sugar.
05:01 Now, somewhere I feel that our previous provincial government,
05:06 without their patronage, this smuggling could not have been done in such a big way.
05:12 To be honest, we have taken a decision that whether it is smuggling of dollars,
05:17 and you know that in smuggling of dollars, first, it was allowed to take 10,000 dollars legally.
05:22 Then, the previous government took it to 6,000 dollars.
05:24 We are reducing it further.
05:26 And, along with that, the issues of borders and border management are not as efficient as they should be.
05:33 But, we have to discourage it. Not only discourage it, but also crack down on it.
05:37 This is an injustice to this state.
05:42 And, this smuggling has brought this state to the brink of destruction.
05:47 It will not be tolerated.
05:49 And, a crackdown against smugglers of dollars, against smugglers of sugar,
05:57 against all these irregular and illegal practices,
06:03 we will make an organized plan against them, which we have told our district authorities,
06:07 we will bring that plan within a week, and we will crack down on them.
06:11 And, it will not be that smuggling of dollars will be done from the blue area.
06:15 So, it means that smuggling is being done from the blue area at this time.
06:18 See, this is not a whistleblower. This is a reality.
06:25 And, if we steal from the reality, how will we work in the future?
06:28 See, dollar smuggling is happening, sugar smuggling is happening, and we have to stop it.
06:32 And, we will stop it.
06:33 I wanted to ask you a question.
06:35 You have been assassinated many times.
06:38 Two dozen, or more than that.
06:40 And, Allah has kept you safe.
06:42 But, whenever Mr. Akhtar Mengal speaks about you, he speaks very bitterly about you,
06:47 or about Prime Minister.
06:49 And, he has given you the title of undertaker, instead of caretaker.
06:54 What is the reason? Mr. Akhtar Mengal is also related to Balochistan.
06:57 So, people from Balochistan are also interested in you as a minister.
07:01 So, they should have been happy.
07:03 But, they are very upset about it. What is the reason?
07:06 See, Mr. Hassan, Mr. Akhtar Mengal is our elder.
07:09 He is a senior leader of Balochistan.
07:12 Now, his thinking is coming forward, just like he is giving a speech.
07:19 So, I will just say that he is our elder. He should think about his attitude.
07:24 Why he is using this kind of attitude.
07:26 And, the basic thing is that, either I should understand the reason for the opposition.
07:30 Or, he should generate an argument to tell the reason,
07:34 why he is upset with our Prime Minister, Anwar-ul-Akbar Kakar, or with us.
07:39 So, I will see the reason, and I will be able to comment on it.
07:43 Isn't there a reason for that, Mr. Shafiq Mengal?
07:45 See, Mr. Shafiq Mengal is a friend of ours, in this matter, there is no doubt.
07:48 Mr. Shafiq Mengal is the son of the ex-Chief Minister of Balochistan.
07:52 And, Mr. Shafiq Mengal is a member of a respected family.
07:59 There are differences between them.
08:02 Keeping those differences in view, we will see who is challenging the writ of the state.
08:10 We will see that, the standoff between them,
08:14 we have assured the Provincial Government,
08:19 that when you need the Frontier Corps, or the Federal Government, we will come there.
08:24 And, the position of the both parties, which is before 18th June,
08:28 both the parties will have to come there.
08:30 And, in this, the last comment, the role played by Nawab Aslam Raisani,
08:34 it was a very positive role, he went to both of them.
08:36 We expect more from them, that they will play a role in this,
08:40 and will resolve this issue tribally.
