00:00 Muslim League is now a big name and I think it is a big claim. What is the basis of this claim?
00:10 The basis of this claim is that we have won 117 seats in the past. When Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif
00:28 won 11 seats in the last election, our performance is exceptional. If we put all these things
00:40 in front of us and put the recent surveys in front of us, which had the highest acceptance
00:48 of the election, I am sure that Pakistan Muslim League will not only win seats in Punjab,
00:58 but will also win from Balochistan, Pakistan and Sindh. We will try to win the single
01:08 seats in the next election. We will try to solve the problems of Pakistan and implement
01:18 our agenda of development across Pakistan.
01:21 But Mr. Afkanullah, when the Noon League formed the government in 2013, you did not win
01:28 so many seats. Now there is a waiting period of 16 months. How will this be possible?
01:35 We did not win so many seats in 2013, but our performance in 2013-2018 was not that
01:42 good. We have built motorways in Pakistan of 1700 km, we have installed power plants
01:52 of 11,000 MW, we have built dams, we have built Neelam Jhelum and Sukhi Kunari. We have
02:00 done projects on the basis of which we think that the people of Pakistan know that we can
02:06 deliver. When we were doing this work, we were not able to do it.
02:10 But Mr. Afkanullah, the people's party does not take responsibility for the inflation
02:14 in 16 months, and the people's party calls the Noon League an inflation league. The inflation
02:18 was so high, where did the dollar rate go? The same things that flour became so expensive,
02:22 sugar became so expensive, it became difficult for people to survive in one job. Do you
02:27 think that your party will be in a position to make a government?
02:35 No, God willing, we are confident about this. We have done our own surveys and we have
02:44 gone to each district and each division and checked everything. God willing, we will
02:51 be able to do this.
02:57 But Mr. Afnan, what will you say about the low inflation rates in the last 16 months?
03:03 Listen to my request, I will answer your question. See, from 2013 to 2018, inflation was 4%.
03:08 If you look at the history of the whole of Pakistan, if you have got 4% in 5 years, from
03:13 2013 to 2018, the dollar was of 105 rupees. Electricity bills, gas bills, all of them
03:18 were not increasing and everything was under our control. And at the same time, the economy
03:23 was also going well. We have done this before and we have successfully got Pakistan out
03:28 of the IMF program.
03:29 Then why did you not do this in the last 16 months?
03:32 We will do this in the future as well. See, this cannot be done in 14 months. There is
03:37 not enough time. If you had taken a government from us in 2013, you would still be saying
03:44 that why did you not do everything? There is a limit in 16 months, as much as you can
03:51 deliver.
03:52 So if you think that in 16 months it was not possible to do all this, then you do not think
03:57 that after the Adham Ehtimad, you should have gone to the elections immediately?
04:01 See, after the Adham Ehtimad, our plan was that we will go to the elections, but the
04:08 lies and conspiracies of Imran Khan, because of that, we said that we will go, but here
04:15 the country was being conspired to be defaulted, to be broken. So we had to get the country
04:22 out of difficulty.
04:23 Now, the People's Party and your wordly war is going on, which we are seeing.
04:28 We did this by sacrificing.
04:30 Okay. Nasir Hussain Shah Sahib, the total seats are 266. Out of them, they say that
04:37 they will take 125 from Punjab. If they take seats from other provinces, then what will
04:42 the People's Party get? And the claim that Jalal will become the Prime Minister is being
04:47 made by the People's Party. Then Bilawal's dream of becoming the Prime Minister will
04:51 be left.
04:52 In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Allahumma bless Muhammad
04:58 and his family.
05:00 Look, Mr. Afnan is my respected friend and it is his right to talk about his party or
05:06 whatever figure Mr. Rana Sanawla has given. But the real truth will be revealed on 8th
05:13 February 2024 and whatever the conscious people of Pakistan will decide, everyone will
05:19 have to accept it.
05:21 The Pakistan People's Party, you can see, has been talking about elections from the
05:28 first day itself. That the elections should be in 90 days. Then it was said that due
05:33 to some delimitations, some days are needed. So we said on that too. Now it is 8th February
05:38 and we are very hopeful that elections will be held. So we are demanding elections when
05:44 we understand that this time there will be a very good result. We are sweeping in Sindh,
05:49 we are sweeping in Punjab, our seats will increase in South Punjab. If Central Punjab
05:54 is difficult for us, but the Khichdi is cooked.
05:57 Why are you not doing a fitwa to get a level playing field?
06:01 Look, the level playing field was in two ways. I have told you many times before.
06:09 We had a meeting of CEC in Karachi and then in Lahore. There are all people in which
06:14 it was said that some people said that new schemes are being introduced in Punjab.
06:19 Our leaders of Sindh said that the approved schemes from our budgeted assembly,
06:26 have also been stopped by the Election Commission. And then the second level playing field
06:32 was talked about that everyone should be allowed for it, even PTI. On which we are
06:38 accused that the People's Party and PTI are in alliance which is out of the impossibility.
06:44 We will not have any alliance now or in the future. The people who have a mindset of
06:50 no-may. The People's Party has never received such a favour.
06:55 So the 2018 Senate elections were also held. So is it not possible in the future?
07:00 And when the Noon League and BAP can be in alliance, then can't the People's Party
07:03 and PTI be in alliance?
07:05 The style of politics of PTI, like you saw Mr. Khan's policy of misbehaviour,
07:15 hatred, extremism, which you saw in person on 9th May. The way he is doing politics
07:22 that if he himself does not stay in the government, then he tried to break the National Assembly.
07:28 He had a government in two provinces. He sent it home. If someone is coming to arrest
07:35 then he is being attacked with a petrol bomb. He is telling others to fill the jail
07:40 and he himself is saying that save me, the movement should start.
07:43 Then he sowed hatred and poison in the youth, in our women, in the children.
07:50 You saw what happened on 9th May, how the installations were attacked,
07:55 on GHQ, on the core commander house, Jinnah. Then the martyrs were disowned,
08:01 their memories, whatever it was. Now the people who are leaving them,
08:06 they have told that it was Mr. Khan's and the few people around him,
08:11 that he himself said that if there is such a policy, then the institutions will come under pressure.
08:16 We have no such people, that now or in the near future or in the future
08:23 we should have an alliance with them.
08:26 I was just talking about the level playing field. We want that everyone should have a level playing field.
08:32 Even PTI should take part in the elections. They should have a symbol so that
08:38 there is no question later. People's Party talks straight.
