00:00 Since the establishment of this government, we have seen the problems of this government.
00:05 You can call it teething problems, but there are problems.
00:09 And a big reason for the problems, most people have been saying, especially our political commentators,
00:18 is that because it is a minority government, and the major support of this government is coming from the Pakistan People's Party.
00:25 The People's Party is still present on the government benches, but it is not a part of the government.
00:33 When it is not a part of the government, then if a decision is taken from the government,
00:39 then obviously the Pakistan People's Party raises objections to that decision.
00:44 You saw that when the appointment of the chairman of the Irsa Authority was made, what objections were raised.
00:51 Then within 24 hours, Prime Minister Sahib had to withdraw his position.
00:55 After that, you saw that an IMF board came and put forth its conditions.
01:03 Obviously, IMF has its own conditions.
01:05 In that, the first condition was that all media was reported to review the NFC.
01:10 Because the distribution of resources within the Wafaaq and the provinces, after that the Wafaaq does not have any money left.
01:19 Then we saw that the Pakistan People's Party started giving a special kind of advice.
01:25 Now that a new government has been established, then privatization is a big challenge.
01:31 The Pakistani institutions that are in loss, they have to be privatized.
01:35 So what is the solution to that?
01:37 The Pakistan People's Party is raising objections to that too.
01:39 And at every opportunity, the Pakistan People's Party has its own oversight.
01:44 So obviously, the current government has to deal with that challenge.
01:50 We will talk about this.
01:51 When the IMF team came, then negotiations were held in Pakistan.
01:57 After that, a story is published in the Express Tribune that the IMF team was assured that no more funds for the CPEC.
02:10 It was also told that, according to the story, 493 billion of the remaining Chinese power plants will not be given.
02:23 The rest is a circular debt amount of 2.31 trillion.
02:26 We have talked about that.
02:27 We have talked about the issues of electricity generation and distribution.
02:34 And the IMF is repeatedly saying that the money you are taking from us, you will not invest it in the right or left.
02:42 Two days ago, I spoke to the media about privatization.
02:50 They asked me what was the answer.
02:52 I have said before that there is no need to debate about implementation and execution.
02:58 Everything can be done together.
03:00 There is a will, there is a way.
03:03 First of all, the PIA will go through the finishing line.
03:06 And then the rest of the people.
03:09 The government has no business in terms of being in business.
03:13 The government's job is to change the policy framework and policy continuity.
03:17 The private sector has to lead the discussion.
03:19 Viewers, the journalists in Islamabad know that the PPP has been against privatization.
03:32 I remember that during the 2016-17, when the Pakistan Muslim League was in power,
03:36 especially during 2015-16, a lot of work was done on the privatization of Pakistan Steel Mill and Pakistan International Airlines.
03:44 The PPP had threatened that if they did this, they would not only strike the country,
03:51 but also the institutions and unions there.
03:55 They would make their lives hell.
03:57 The PPP had to take back its steps.
04:00 Sherry Rehman Sahiba, now that the discussion is going on about privatization,
04:04 the PPP is once again in the spotlight.
04:07 We cannot support privatization.
04:11 We are not against privatization.
04:14 We are not against the red line and sitting in the second century.
04:20 We used to have a private sector ministry.
04:23 But we used to do it in a public-private share.
04:27 It has been profitable.
04:30 We have modeled it in many enterprises in Sindh.
04:33 Most of the employees get a share.
04:38 The situation here in Pakistan, the history of privatization and exploitation,
04:44 should not be repeated with a non-transparent agreement.
04:51 But if a transparent, fair deal is a good deal, then you will not oppose it?
04:55 We have not seen a transparent fair deal yet.
04:58 We are clearly aware that there are very good innovations happening in the world.
05:06 Privatization has become an old formula.
05:09 The innovation in the world is of a public-private partnership.
05:13 After that, Nafisa Isha Sahiba, MNA of the Pakistan People's Party,
05:18 what is she talking about IMF?
05:21 Will the negotiations be heard clearly in the parliament?
05:28 This is what you expect?
05:30 If we are playing an oversight role in the parliament,
05:35 we want to know the terms and limits of the negotiations.
05:41 So that we can play our role as committee members and speak for our country.
05:51 Shazia Murree Sahiba, another MNA of the Pakistan People's Party,
05:57 said that the government of the time should listen to the negotiations and look ahead.
06:06 If the IMF needs to talk, then it will be done.
06:11 Whatever the conditions the government has to meet, it should take into account.
06:16 Even if you do not bring it to the parliament,
06:19 at least all the parties in the parliament, their parliamentary leaders,
06:23 their chairs, you should take them into account.
06:27 And tell us what conditions, what conditions will this package be accepted?
06:33 And on the NFC, Shazia Murree Sahiba said that we will not make any kind of agreement.
06:39 In the whole IMF negotiation process,
06:43 I think we have seen the news circulating that there will be no agreement on the NFC.
06:48 I will tell you clearly the position of the Pakistan People's Party,
06:53 which our community and the members of our community,
06:58 and the chief minister of this province,
07:01 have also said that there is no change in the NFC.
07:08 Because after the 18th amendment, the changes that have come in the constitutional provision of the NFC,
07:17 the NFC cannot be reduced, it can be increased.
