PIA Ki Njkari Ka Maamla Kyun Latak Gaya?? Ahem Tajzia

Transcript

00:00You know that the current government of Pakistan, PDM-1, and when the government was also present, the Nijkari case was going on.

00:11First of all, the Nijkari case of PIA was filed, and bids for the Nijkari case of PIA had been requested, and tenders had been issued.

00:18Now, according to the latest news, at this time, foreign companies have expressed their disinterest in the bid for the Nijkari case of PIA.

00:27Two Gulf companies had collected $5,000 and took the documents, but did not request for the tender.

00:35The last date for the tender was 3rd of May.

00:38The date was up to 3rd of May, but one month has been added to it.

00:42Last night, a briefing was given by the Minister of Nijkari, Mr. Ali Khan.

00:47He explained a little bit about it, and we have moved it forward.

00:50What is he saying? Listen.

00:52We have given the date for tomorrow, but we think that we will add another 15 days to it.

00:59We will do 15 days because even the 10 people who have come to us, many of them want us to give them some time.

01:08People are doing their due diligence, people are arranging their partners, people are arranging foreign partners who have to operate,

01:16they are making agreements with foreign companies, so they will come in the form of a consortium.

01:21So, if they have come to us to complete their deals, if there is a demand from them,

01:27then I have decided for 15 days, I have taken permission from the Prime Minister to add it for 15 days.

01:34There will be no further increase in this.

01:37Now the question here is that the political party whose support the current government is based on,

01:43it is not in favor of this Nijkari.

01:45Mr. Balawal Bhutto Zardari, what are you saying in this regard?

01:48It is better than Nijkari that if the loyal government does not want a steel mill,

01:54then the Sindh government will buy it through a public-private partnership, we will run it better than them.

01:59We demand from the loyal government that if they want to think about PIA, Nijkari,

02:07then it is better that they do a public-private partnership,

02:11they should send some of their shares, which will benefit Pakistan and Pakistan's economy.

02:20Yes, Mr. Chaudhary Ghulam Sain, what are you seeing, this matter of Nijkari,

02:24even in the past, when Nijkari, I remember, this work was done a lot in 2016,

02:29even then the Pakistan People's Party said that we will march on, we will go on strike, we will not let it happen.

02:35But the real concern of everyone is that the bleeding of the economy should end.

02:41The hundreds of billions that have been lost, and it happens every year,

02:46the country should be saved from that, and this private-public partnership,

02:50or some management, or some kind of joint venture should be done,

02:54even if it is not to be sold, then at least the burden on the government should be removed,

03:02and the ship should sail, and the steel mill should run, and the country should move forward.

03:08So here I don't see any such thing, we have other big things to do.
