00:00Two weeks ago, the farmers started the process of not giving a single grain at the price of wheat.
00:06This led to a protest movement.
00:08And now, corruption, unlawful breeding, nepotism, and taking unlawful advantage have come under heavy accusations.
00:18And today, the investigation committee made by the Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif had to submit its report.
00:25But the report has not yet been submitted.
00:27But from the initial investigation, it is clear that the last three governments have been involved in the matter of wheat.
00:33In the initial media reports, the committee has revealed that not only last year, from August to March last year,
00:40330 billion rupees worth of wheat was mined.
00:43In fact, approximately 13 lakh metric tons of wheat was also mined, in which insects were found.
00:49However, the detailed report has not yet been submitted.
00:52In the initial report, it is said that in July 2023, the PDM government left the decision to mine wheat to the Nigran government.
01:00And then, in the era of the Nigran government, 2.25 billion rupees worth of 28 lakh metric tons of wheat was mined.
01:06In the report, it is said that in the last eight months, 70 ships of wheat came from six countries to Pakistan.
01:13And in the current government, 7 lakh metric tons of wheat worth 80 billion rupees was mined in Pakistan.
01:20In total, 1 billion 10 crore dollars went out of Pakistan to mine wheat from Pakistan.
01:25If we look at the decision of life and death for the farmers in terms of wheat mining,
01:30for the first time, a summary of 10 lakh metric tons of wheat was submitted to the PDM government.
01:36On July 13, 2023, the Ministry of Food and Rural Affairs approved a government summary of 10 lakh metric tons of wheat.
01:43But then, the decision was made to bring wheat as strategic reserves.
01:47But on August 8, 2023, that is, last year in August, the head of the then Minister of Finance, ECC approved the summary.
01:54But then, after the establishment of the Nigran government, on September 1, 2023, the summary of wheat revenue reached the PM's house again.
02:02And on September 4, 2023, PM Anwar-ul-Haqqaq approved the summary as the Minister of Food and Rural Affairs.
02:08According to the documents, the price of wheat in the summary sent to the Nigran PM was said to be 5600 rupees.
02:15After which, instructions from the Prime Minister's house to include the government and private sector came forward.
02:21On September 12, 2023, the summary of wheat revenue was sent to the ECC again.
02:25But the Ministry of Finance did not support the purchase of wheat by the government.
02:29And then the decision was made that since the private sector is efficient and can provide better revenue,
02:34then wheat should be provided through it.
02:37It is surprising that just 11 days later, on October 23, 2023, the ECC approved the government's provision of wheat.
02:46The initial report also clearly highlights the role of the previous three governments.
02:51But the Nigran PM, Anwar-ul-Haqqaq, says that there is a storm in the cup of tea on the issue of wheat.
02:57Although he has presented himself, he has voluntarily said that he is ready to present himself in the inquiry commission.
03:06The interesting thing is that the Nigran PM, Mohsin Raqvi, has said that he would like to be named.
03:14Whereas the present Punjab government believes that the responsibility of the current government is only the Nigran government.
03:19And there is no role of the current government.
03:22Punjab sets its quota that we have to buy this much.
03:25Every government decides and then it does the procurement.
03:29The federal government decides how much wheat is needed in the country, how much to come, how much to come from outside, how much stock is available in Pakistan.
03:36People definitely want an inquiry on me.
03:39But thank God, not a single person has done such a thing.
03:42There was a wrong coming from below.
03:44So my secretary, the secretary to the CM, strictly told me that whatever happens, you don't have to do this.
03:50Along with the wheat scandal, the government has been facing the basic agricultural movement of farmers since four days later.
03:58While the NAB or FIA has not yet been included in the investigation into the wheat scandal.
04:03This deepens the perception that Shabaz Sharif is reluctant to act against the officials.
04:08This suggestion also came to light during the Muslim League Nawaz meeting the other day.
04:12But it has not yet been decided.
04:14Whereas the sources claim that since the decision on the wheat scandal was made during the Nigran government, the current government has blown it.
04:21They are being careful about the previous setup.
04:23And perhaps the reason for this is that two days ago, Hanif Abbasi of the Muslim League and the former Nigran PM, Inwar-ul-Haq Qaqar,
04:28had a heated discussion about the wheat scandal.
04:30And we saw to what extent it escalated.
04:32Inwar-ul-Haq Qaqar asked Hanif Abbasi,
04:34have you pointed fingers at us on the wheat issue or have you come to arrest me?
04:39To which Hanif Abbasi replied that whatever I said was absolutely correct.
04:42To which Inwar-ul-Haq Qaqar said that if I talk about Form 47, then you and the Noon League will keep hiding your faces.
04:50To which Hanif Abbasi said that I swear that you are a thief.
04:52You have eaten money in the wheat scandal.
04:54Viewers, the trust of the Nigran PM Inwar-ul-Haq Qaqar has been presented out of context.
04:59It has been presented in a wrong way.
05:01Which is not true.
05:03Here it is also important that any matter which is worth more than 50 crores,
05:07its investigation comes under the jurisdiction of the NAB.
05:10In this case, it is a very big question for the NAB and FIA not to investigate.
05:14Not only this, there are some news that after the election of the present government,
05:17the wheat which was given 98 billion rupees as financial compensation is also being investigated.
05:22Today itself, in Islamabad High Court, the wheat scandal was heard.
05:26In Islamabad High Court, a case was heard.
05:28During the hearing, the court addressed the NAB prosecutor and said that these are small matters.
05:33When will you do an inquiry on the wheat scandal?
05:35It seems that you will do an inquiry on the wheat scandal in the next government.
05:40It seems that the wheat scandal has become a very big test case and challenge for the government.
05:45In this situation, when the farmers have announced a protest movement,
05:48the matter has become complicated between the Nigran PM Inwar-ul-Haq Qaqar and Hanifa Basi.
05:52The PTI is asking for a judicial commission.
05:55In this case, the NAB and FIA not to investigate the matter is giving rise to more questions.
05:59These questions are arising on such occasions when, according to sources,
06:02Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will visit Pakistan next week.
06:05And at the same time, the IMF mission will also come to Pakistan for negotiations.
06:09After which, the preparations for the budget will begin.
