11:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:00 The vote can be elected for Nawaz Sharif, but why can't the Senate vote for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa?
12:08 So I think there are many issues related to this.
12:10 It's not just a matter of reserved seats.
12:12 The government is also involved in this.
12:15 They have made a lot of arrangements that are also related to this issue.
12:18 The Senate has to bring its excellence, and that is also related to this.
12:23 But at the end of the day, if the vote is for Nawaz Sharif,
12:26 how does democracy and logic accept that the seats should be given to Imran Khan,
12:32 or that Imran Khan should be elected and the seats should be distributed between the People's Party and the Noon League?
12:37 So, logic, consciousness and democratic principles do not accept this.
12:40 Now, only when the Moses court decides on this will things become clear.
12:44 Right.
12:45 Mr. Rahman, in your view, the political uncertainty and investment in Pakistan,
12:52 Mohammad bin Salman is coming to Pakistan, and before that, Iran's president has been elected,
12:59 investment is coming, the SIFC is in place,
13:03 do you think that there will be an intermediary?
13:06 Because at some point in time, when political turmoil would come,
13:09 when political people would be in a state of turmoil,
13:13 at that time, either there would be a personality,
13:17 who would be considered a representative, and they would have a conversation with each other,
13:21 or there would be institutions.
13:22 The institutions would have to stand up and say, "We don't want to talk, we don't want to talk to anyone."
13:27 Especially until the 9th of May, when there is no pardon,
13:29 and the matters are not forgiven, until then, there will be no discussion.
13:34 So, in this situation, it will be a matter of personality.
13:37 What kind of personality can talk about these two parties,
13:40 the government and the opposition?
13:44 Does Maulana Fazlur Rehman Sahib look like a person who plays such a role?
13:51 Before that, what Qazimi sahib said, that democracy and logic do not agree,
13:55 whether they agree or not, the law and the constitution have to decide.
13:58 Democracy does not make all the decisions.
14:00 The constitution is made through democracy, the law is made.
14:03 The Supreme Court which gave a stay, that these people will be obedient until our final decision,
14:09 they would have said it along with it.
14:10 Without a request, they would have said, "You can do this in the election committee of the Senate."
14:14 The election commission did not want to do it.
14:15 The election commission made a decision, stopped it,
14:17 and the Peshawar High Court did not say anything about that decision,
14:21 that the sessions were given in the right way.
14:23 So, when the sessions were given in the right way,
14:25 and you were not taking their votes by calling for the assembly of the KP,
14:28 so the election of the Senate was stopped.
14:30 Now, there is stubbornness and stubbornness from both sides,
14:33 and there is a stay of the Supreme Court.
14:35 So, we will have to wait for that.
14:37 And the personality that you talked about, Maulana Fazlur Rehman,
14:40 he is going to the PM, and Imran Khan's resignation is also included.
14:44 Maulana Fazlur Rehman spoke about democracy and rational personality,
14:48 he spoke logically, that he will come back from the talks,
14:51 see Maulana, how long and how long the diesel takes.
14:54 Those accounts which have been seized and stopped,
14:57 what all the mongrels will not start about Maulana.
15:00 Because here it is that if you are with me, then it is fine,
15:03 otherwise you are my enemy.
15:04 Then you are sold, you are a cover, you are accused,
15:08 and you are with me, then everything is fine.
15:11 When a DGSI comes and tells you that there are problems in your house,
15:15 money is coming from Punjab, then you blow that DGSI,
15:19 who later becomes the Army Chief, who understands the matters,
15:22 who has seen the reports, has heard.
15:25 And Imran Khan was the advocate of this at that time,
15:28 that our agencies are our own and they have the right to listen and check.
15:33 So, in that listening and checking, many things were told to Khan Sahib,
15:36 which he did not like for himself,
15:38 he did not see the corruption of his own people.
15:42 Yes, if someone is against him, if he is Alim Khan,
15:45 then he is caught again in the NAB,
15:47 who becomes the candidate of the Chief Minister,
15:48 if Sabtein Khan becomes the candidate of the Chief Minister,
15:51 then he is suppressed, he is put in a old scandal,
15:54 that whoever speaks, he used to do the same with Pervez Khattak,
15:58 when there was an MPA against him, he said,
16:00 whoever wants to sit, sit, whoever is against him, get out of here,
16:03 and then he called them to Bannigala,
16:04 and then later in the Senate election,
16:07 what happened with them in Bannigala,
16:10 he took revenge that he did not vote for the party.
16:12 So, the issue is not that when a person does not listen to logic,
16:16 he says, give me the first one,
16:19 access me on gate number 4,
16:21 make a one page with me, then I will do everything.
16:24 So, I think, as he was saying,
16:27 that he does not see that Imran Khan Sahib will go towards forgiveness,
16:31 so I don't think that there will be any discussion with him either.
16:35 Right. Atar Kazmi Sahib, then ultimately,
16:38 the thing is that you have become a do or die situation.
16:43 If there is no flexibility,
16:45 or as you were saying,
16:46 that it is possible that later,
16:48 you turned and agreed with Mr. Narayana,
16:51 but in the near future, it does not seem like that.
16:53 If this does not happen in the near future,
16:55 then the PTI has been hit so hard,
16:58 the difference of opinion,
16:59 the leverage that is there,
17:01 will it not get lost in the future?
17:04 [Anwar Khan] I had agreed that,
17:06 just like Nawaz Sharif Sahib and Mariam Nawaz,
17:09 and the Noon League took a U-turn on their statement,
17:11 and later they benefited from it,
17:14 so it is possible that they look at the other side,
17:16 and understand that maybe there can be some benefit in this,
17:18 but I don't see this happening.
17:20 The second thing is that,
17:21 how will these things be resolved at the moment?
17:23 I don't think that any person can play an important role in this.
17:27 There is a Pakistan Act,
17:28 everything is written in that Act.
17:30 The mandate for the 8th February elections,
17:33 if there was no theft,
17:35 many problems would have been solved.
17:37 Similarly, the issues in 2018,
17:39 if they were in accordance with the Act,
17:41 many problems would not have been solved.
17:43 We have made it an algebra,
17:45 that this is the will of this person,
17:47 and that is his will.
17:49 Pakistan is not a state without a mandate.
17:51 We are living under the Act in this country.
17:53 So, we should act on the Act.
17:55 The role of the person in the Act,
17:57 should play its own role,
17:59 whether it is the opposition or the government.
18:01 If this is the case, many problems will be solved.
18:03 The issue here is that,
18:05 along with the time,
18:07 the corruption stories change,
18:09 the favors change.
18:11 Today, we received news from Mr. Zardari,
18:13 that the cars he had bought in Tosha Khana,
18:15 and the case that was going on,
18:17 he got a judicial exemption.
18:19 If he had not committed any corruption,
18:21 then why did he need a judicial exemption?
18:25 These cases were also made by our institutions.
18:27 The Omni Group report,
18:29 the money laundering report,
18:31 all those reports,
18:33 all those JITs,
18:35 all the institutions were included in it,
18:37 what was said about which leaders.
18:39 But, you are the same Mr. Zardari,
18:41 the same Shakshiyat Akumtum,
18:43 so there is no problem here.
18:45 Why is there no problem?
18:47 Because here, more than the law and the law,
18:49 there is personal preference and dislike.
18:51 This is an important point.
18:53 Mr. Akadmi, I want to take the answer to this from Mr. Rana.
18:57 Mr. Rana, this is an important point,
18:59 that cases are being filed on everyone.
19:01 And, no one leader,
19:03 in the political arena,
19:05 is not the one who has not been filed a case.
19:07 And, ultimately, the cases,
19:09 if somehow the other role is not taken back,
19:11 be it due to weak prosecution,
19:13 lack of evidence,
19:15 or the absence of evidence,
19:17 or whatever,
19:19 or the case of Atar Kazmi,
19:21 which Mr. Zardari is talking about,
19:23 should be taken back.
19:25 And, this is the case of PTI.
19:27 Look,
19:29 the one page went to PTI
19:31 when they
19:33 tore up the DGSI's
19:35 posting.
19:37 And, General Bajwa,
19:39 who was under a lot of pressure earlier,
19:41 that Imran Khan was not
19:43 dealing with his own party and
19:45 the opposition,
19:47 but he was using the stick and the stick
19:49 that the Colonel used to use to run the Parliament,
19:51 to run the work through him.
19:53 He used to say, "I am in my enjoyment,
19:55 I have to get up at 11, come to the helicopter,
19:57 go back to the helicopter,
19:59 spend two hours in the Prime Minister's office,
20:01 four hours here and there, just two speeches,
20:03 then I have to go out for a walk."
20:05 So, he did not want to waste his time,
20:07 because he was very busy.
20:09 So, then it happened that a fight broke out.
20:11 Now, there was no such fight.
20:13 Now, he himself is directly in conflict with the army.
20:15 His people say, "We are retaliating."
20:17 That is, retaliatory actions are being carried out,
20:19 fights are being fought.
20:21 So, till then, wait for Khan Sahib.
20:23 The rest have done it.
20:25 Then, according to the situation,
20:27 this is on the basis of daily,
20:29 now, as much as he has put pressure on 9th May,
20:31 we did not see any such fight anywhere.
20:33 A few people came, the police came,
20:35 they left, the chairman also left in the car.
20:37 Then you have to put political pressure
20:39 and the whole process should come to an end.
20:41 At least people should come, why did they not come?
20:43 Right, but before going,
20:45 before going, Mr. Prerana and Mr. Atar,
20:47 I want one comment
20:49 regarding the Karanj situation,
20:51 which is made of wheat.
20:53 I want to take a very quick comment from both of them
20:55 because this situation, we see it as a national issue.
20:59 In fact, it has become a national issue.
21:01 Mr. Atar Ghazni, you start,
21:03 comment on this.
21:05 Look, this is, I don't know
21:07 whether there has been corruption or not,
21:09 but it is a matter of incompetence.
21:11 The Nigrahan government was also sitting here.
21:13 Didn't he know
21:15 that such a big bumper crop is coming here
21:17 and such a big bumper crop
21:19 is being forecasted?
21:21 So, there was the government of Mohsin Naqvi,
21:23 there was the government of Kakar,
21:25 now there is the current government.
21:27 But in all these issues,
21:29 the way we are doing it with the farmers,
21:31 we are doing injustice to our country.
21:33 If we do this with the farmers,
21:35 yesterday also, something went viral on social media
21:37 that you buy a pizza for Rs. 3000,
21:39 but you are giving 2800 rupees,
21:41 wheat to the farmer,
21:43 isn't this injustice and injustice?
21:45 But did we reduce the cost of the crop for the farmer?
21:47 Did we reduce the cost of water, electricity,
21:49 whatever bills he gets,
21:51 did we reduce it?
21:53 So, the problem is that we should not do such injustice.
21:55 If we are cutting the farmer today,
21:57 we are cutting our own throat.
21:59 If there is no doubt that the farmer
22:01 will go to the gutter,
22:03 then Pakistan will benefit.
22:05 The loss of the farmer is the loss of Pakistan.
22:07 Absolutely. Mr. Rana, quick comment.
22:09 Look, it is a simple thing that
22:13 we do not give money to our farmers,
22:15 we spend a little bit of money
22:17 and import wheat from outside
22:19 when it is needed.
22:21 Now, this time, the miracle has happened
22:23 that in the supervision period,
22:25 3.5 million tonnes of wheat were ordered,
22:27 the loss of which is that
22:29 when our crop was ready,
22:31 the chief secretary of the Punjab
22:33 which is accused of supervision,
22:35 Akhtar Jyot,
22:37 he wrote to the federal government
22:39 that do not import wheat.
22:41 He cancelled the tender of the FEC
22:43 and said that we have the
22:45 Wafir wheat. Now, the investigation
22:47 is not that way, on the other hand,
22:49 the conspiracy is that in the supervision period,
22:51 he himself had finished the purchase of
22:53 the circular debt of Punjab
22:55 of more than 400 billion rupees,
22:57 the food department of the Punjab.
22:59 He did not want us to go in that circle.
23:01 Next time it is decided that this support
23:03 will not go to the Punjab government at the price.
23:05 Look, the price was not given by the People's Party
23:07 and everything is a problem.
23:09 Thank you very much.
23:11 We are talking about wheat.
23:13 For the economy,
23:15 the IMF team has come to Pakistan.
23:17 We will discuss that in the second segment.
23:19 Welcome back after the break.
23:21 Before going on the break,
23:23 we were talking about some history.
23:25 Let's move towards the economy.
23:27 The IMF team has come to Pakistan.
23:29 There are many demands in front of them.
23:31 In the IMF budget,
23:33 the demand to end the electricity and gas
23:35 subsidies has been made.
23:37 There are many questions arising
23:39 because the budget is also coming.
23:41 The preparation of the budget has also started.
23:43 The economic challenges in itself
23:45 have increased.
23:47 The wheat problems are also increasing.
23:49 Yesterday we talked about the farmers.
23:51 The situation is still not clear.
23:53 The IMF team will go in this program.
23:55 How much will it be beneficial
23:57 or harmful for us?
23:59 We will talk about this in the long run.
24:01 We will talk about this in the long run.
24:03 We will talk about this in the long run.
24:05 We will talk about this in the long run.
24:07 Mr. Shabbarz Ahle is with us.
24:09 He is a well-known economist.
24:11 Thank you very much for joining us.
24:13 It is a pleasure having you in the program.
24:15 Mr. Shabbarz, going to the IMF team
24:17 is obviously not good news.
24:19 is obviously not good news.
24:21 Your economy has gone down so much
24:23 that you have to go to the IMF team.
24:25 The demands of the IMF team
24:27 are very difficult to implement.
24:29 Most of the time,
24:31 Pakistan has gone to the IMF team
24:33 to implement many programs.
24:35 But in most of the programs,
24:37 the conditions were not met
24:39 which is why we have a problem
24:41 in negotiating.
24:43 Do you think that the conditions
24:45 that are being met,
24:47 especially to end the subsidy
24:49 in the electricity and gas industry,
24:51 which directly impacts the common man,
24:53 are the conditions
24:55 that can be met?
24:57 In the name of God,
24:59 you gave me a chance.
25:01 Your question is absolutely correct.
25:03 But my answer is
25:05 absolutely straight and clear
25:07 that we have always
25:09 done the IMF program
25:11 to get money in history,
25:13 not to correct ourselves.
25:15 not to correct ourselves.
25:17 not to correct ourselves.
25:19 That is, when our current account
25:21 is not working,
25:23 we take money from the IMF,
25:25 we listen to their talks,
25:27 but we never listen to their talks.
25:29 But we follow their talks
25:31 only to the extent
25:33 where they talk about
25:35 stopping their share.
25:37 Otherwise, we have not
25:39 done any such action in 24 programs
25:41 that correct us.
25:43 And you tell this
25:45 to the Pakistani people
25:47 very clearly
25:49 that the IMF program
25:51 never comes for any country
25:53 for economic prosperity,
25:55 but it is always
25:57 anti-growth
25:59 and it brings such conditions
26:01 that its growth
26:03 stops because
26:05 they have to
26:07 take their money back.
26:09 At the moment, the IMF program
26:11 has to give us
26:13 about 7 billion rupees.
26:15 And you remember
26:17 that we already have
26:19 7 billion rupees
26:21 old dues.
26:23 So if God forbid
26:25 Pakistan was in default,
26:27 then 7 billion would have
26:29 been wasted with them.
26:31 So they are giving us
26:33 money because they want
26:35 to run this shop
26:37 so that they can
26:39 take back their
26:41 previous loan.
26:43 You should keep this
26:45 truth in front of you
26:47 and this is what
26:49 I am seeing
26:51 of the Pakistani
26:53 government,
26:55 what I am seeing,
26:57 what I am seeing,
26:59 what kind of statements I am
27:01 seeing, what kind of body language
27:03 I am seeing, what kind of
27:05 attire I am seeing,
27:07 what kind of budget
27:09 you said is being prepared,
27:11 what kind of things I am
27:13 seeing, I am almost
27:15 100% sure that we will
27:17 end there where we
27:19 have been ending in the
27:21 past.
27:23 I understand
27:25 that you are pre-empting
27:27 that what happened before will happen
27:29 because this happened before
27:31 too. If we did this in the
27:33 20th program, then what difference
27:35 will we make in the 24th, but
27:37 on the flip side,
27:39 what we did in the
27:41 25th, how can we ensure
27:43 that they do not do it in the
27:45 24th?
27:47 We will not believe
27:49 in ourselves that
27:51 the state
27:53 is based on
27:55 economy and
27:57 the biggest priority
27:59 is its economic
28:01 problems and
28:03 to understand
28:05 economic problems,
28:07 you should keep your feet on the ground.
28:09 You can't solve
28:11 the economic problems
28:13 of Pakistan and any country
28:15 . Now it is
28:17 necessary that today
28:19 the difference is that
28:21 the media is free,
28:23 social media is running and
28:25 people have also realized
28:27 that Pakistan
28:29 will not be
28:31 bailed out
28:33 as it has been done in the past,
28:35 but the basic
28:37 financial
28:39 problems or
28:41 the basic
28:43 way out
28:45 or mindset
28:47 is not changing
28:49 and until it changes
28:51 or there is no pressure on it,
28:53 you will think of
28:55 a basic
28:57 that either I will increase the electricity bill
28:59 or reduce it or it will happen
29:01 or there will be such a storm in the budget
29:03 or there will be a change,
29:05 so this is wrong
29:07 according to me and it
29:09 will continue to run as it is
29:11 running today and
29:13 it should not run like this
29:15 now this shop is
29:17 not going to run
29:19 because we
29:21 are talking about habits that
29:23 until those actions that happen
29:25 will not change, the result
29:27 will be the same as it has been
29:29 until now,
29:31 one is our expenditure
29:33 and there is a big difference in our earning
29:35 , there is a basic
29:37 rule of a house
29:39 that you are earning as much as you
29:41 have to spend as much as we
29:43 are earning, we are spending
29:45 double and we cannot
29:47 complete this expense,
29:49 so we take loans with interest
29:51 and then we have to give interest
29:53 , we have to return the loan and
29:55 we are not finishing the expense
29:57 at this time, what are
29:59 our expenses that
30:01 we can cut
30:03 no
30:05 , see here I can give you
30:07 a clarification
30:09 , a big misconception
30:11 has come in Pakistan
30:13 that people of Pakistan
30:15 do not get basic facilities
30:17 due to which
30:19 taxes should be imposed,
30:21 this is wrong because
30:23 after the NFC award
30:25 all the money goes to the
30:27 province at the gross level
30:29 and health, education,
30:31 transport, security
30:33 all these provincial
30:35 issues
30:37 and that
30:39 people tolerate that
30:41 they have no shortage of money
30:43 so these are two
30:45 different traps
30:47 Pakistan has now
30:49 gone into a bankruptcy trap
30:51 , it will be difficult for the
30:53 common man, so I can't
30:55 explain it much that
30:57 our expenses are of two types
30:59 , one is foreign
31:01 and one is local
31:03 foreign expenses are
31:05 about 140 billion dollars of
31:07 Pakistan, it is not
31:09 a very big expense for a country
31:11 like Pakistan and our
31:13 interest cost is not very high
31:15 , our basic problem is
31:17 local expenses, which
31:19 eats up almost all our budget
31:21 but the shape of local
31:23 expenses is that we are
31:25 printing notes and paying
31:27 expenses, it is our own,
31:29 the cost is increasing
31:31 , it is a problem for the common man
31:33 , it is a difficult subject,
31:35 a common man will not understand
31:37 but I want to say this
31:39 for the common man that
31:41 Pakistan's budget or
31:43 the economic condition of Pakistan
31:45 is not like that
31:47 in which a man
31:49 stands up and says that
31:51 I will correct this country
31:53 in the next two years, three years, four years,
31:55 five years, for this
31:57 we need a very detailed
31:59 long-term plan,
32:01 see and remember one thing
32:03 when I say that we need a
32:05 ten-year long-term plan,
32:07 people object to me that I am
32:09 talking about a military government
32:11 or I am talking about an
32:13 administration, I am saying whether it is a military
32:15 or a civilian government, we need
32:17 a ten-year long-term economic
32:19 plan that the IMF will not give,
32:21 we do not have to take it from the IMF,
32:23 we have to make it ourselves, we do not make it,
32:25 we tell the IMF that
32:27 tell us what will happen in the next 15 years,
32:29 this is the same game that
32:31 you do not have money in your house
32:33 and you are telling your neighbor
32:35 to increase your budget, this is our
32:37 fundamental problem, but you
32:39 have to accept this.
32:41 You are talking about planning,
32:43 here we do not know
32:45 that we should import
32:47 import
32:49 wheat
32:51 and how much should we import?
32:53 See, you are
32:55 losing,
32:57 I am saying that you do not
32:59 know how much wheat crop is coming
33:01 after the next six months, you do not
33:03 know how the country will run,
33:05 when you do not know
33:07 how much wheat crop is coming
33:09 and how the country will run, so you tell
33:11 that the next ten years, the American
33:13 budget is made for the next 50 years,
33:15 for the next 50 years,
33:17 you do not know
33:19 about the
33:21 crop,
33:23 so it does not run like this,
33:25 see,
33:27 these are not the nations that run like this,
33:29 who do not know,
33:31 now tell me what do you know?
33:33 Tell me one thing about the economy
33:35 or tell me one thing about Pakistan
33:37 about which I can predict
33:39 that in 2024
33:41 or 2025 or 2026 or 2027
33:43 it will be like this,
33:45 tell me one thing about which we can say
33:47 that this change will not happen
33:49 and remember one thing that
33:51 business is always done
33:53 on the basis that I know
33:55 what is going to happen next.
33:57 Right, Shabbaab,
33:59 the wheat crisis that is going on
34:01 there are some
34:03 orders from KPK government
34:05 and others, but
34:07 still the farmers are protesting,
34:09 we have
34:11 a very big issue of food security
34:13 already,
34:15 we are importing oil, oil,
34:17 we are importing a lot of lentils
34:19 and we are importing a lot of spices,
34:21 unfortunately, it is a
34:23 agricultural country
34:25 and still these things are being imported,
34:27 now wheat and sugar should also be imported,
34:29 export and then import,
34:31 then where is our food security,
34:33 Shabbar sahib?
34:35 See, the thing is
34:37 that I said again
34:39 that when the basic economy
34:41 is running on ad-hocism,
34:43 your whole system is running on ad-hoc,
34:45 you do not have to worry
34:47 about where you have to
34:49 put wheat,
34:51 where you have to put sugar,
34:53 where you have to put lentils,
34:55 where you have to put edible oil,
34:57 so this is what happens,
34:59 the basic thing is
35:01 that at this time
35:03 you have basically
35:05 a clash
35:07 in two groups,
35:09 one group is of traders
35:11 and one group is of farmers,
35:13 traders are the ones
35:15 who relate
35:17 wrong figures for their own
35:19 benefit,
35:21 make wrong figures
35:23 and make wrong figures
35:25 and import
35:27 or do their own things
35:29 and the interests of the farmers
35:31 are not being taken into account,
35:33 I think that
35:35 the economy in Pakistan
35:37 which has been destroyed
35:39 is the agriculture
35:41 economy because
35:43 the farmers have no heir,
35:45 they have no voice,
35:47 the feudal who are sitting in the assembly,
35:49 you should not think that
35:51 they are the representatives of agriculture,
35:53 the poor farmer
35:55 who is a small farmer,
35:57 he does not get the price of his wheat,
35:59 so I am trying to say
36:01 that Pakistan's
36:03 poor man,
36:05 whether he is living in the city
36:07 or he is living in the village,
36:09 he is actually
36:11 a victim of the corruption
36:13 of the Pakistani system
36:15 and that is why we are seeing
36:17 these problems today
36:19 and I want to tell you
36:21 one more thing that there is a crisis
36:23 of wheat, my view about this is that
36:25 the story of corruption,
36:27 this story of corruption is being presented
36:29 because you want to hide
36:31 the incompetence of the farmers,
36:33 I put corruption aside,
36:35 corruption is in the ground,
36:37 you first ask
36:39 that did the Punjab government
36:41 and Sindh government
36:43 give any projection to the government
36:45 and the federal government,
36:47 to the food security,
36:49 if they had given,
36:51 then where did it come from,
36:53 what came, hang that person,
36:55 now by doing corruption,
36:57 you will sack a secretary,
36:59 this is corruption,
37:01 in your view,
37:03 in all this famine,
37:05 who is responsible in all this?
37:07 In this,
37:09 Secretary of Agriculture Punjab
37:11 and Secretary of Agriculture Sindh
37:13 and Secretary of Agriculture
37:15 Frontier, call all three
37:17 and make them stand in Islamabad
37:19 for three days, ask them
37:21 where did your figure of wheat come from,
37:23 they will decide later,
37:25 did they give any figure
37:27 to the national security people
37:29 that how much wheat is going to come?
37:31 This is the question,
37:33 they are responsible.
37:35 Political,
37:37 the caretaker government,
37:39 you are switching a lot,
37:41 political will come later,
37:43 first tell me what figure came,
37:45 they knew
37:47 what crop was going to come,
37:49 the question is
37:51 when I am taking decision on ECC,
37:53 what figure did I have,
37:55 this corruption will come later,
37:57 when I decided on ECC
37:59 that wheat will be imported,
38:01 at that time did I have any figure
38:03 or not,
38:05 and if ECC did not have any figure,
38:07 then all the people of ECC
38:09 should be disqualified
38:11 in 1962-63.
38:13 Fair enough,
38:15 but from Kakar's words,
38:17 it seems that he had a figure,
38:19 because he said that
38:21 we have demanded as much as we could.
38:23 I am telling you,
38:25 why are you talking about corruption,
38:27 when a cabinet decided
38:29 that we have to import this,
38:31 and if they did not have a figure,
38:33 then disqualify them in 1962-63,
38:35 and if they had a figure,
38:37 then call the person who was giving
38:39 the figure from behind,
38:41 from where did you get the figure.
38:43 Ok, you are saying that
38:45 caretaker should keep you aside,
38:47 and do this work, thank you very much.
38:49 No, I am not talking about caretaker
38:51 and non-caretaker,
38:53 you are going to caretaker and non-caretaker,
38:55 I am talking about a system,
38:57 any ECC,
38:59 it decides the import of wheat,
39:01 when it knows that there is a shortage,
39:03 so it will have a paper,
39:05 it should have a paper.
39:07 I understand what you are saying,
39:09 that makes sense,
39:11 that makes sense, thank you very much,
39:13 Mr. Shabbar, it was a pleasure to have you here.
39:15 One thing we have to see very clearly,
39:17 that do we have to go on like this,
39:19 we are going to the 24th IMF program,
39:21 the budget is going to come,
39:23 the provinces are complaining a lot,
39:25 WIFAG has no money to run it,
39:27 the salaries are reduced,
39:29 and in such a situation,
39:31 we are not getting rid of our expenses,
39:33 whether it is the government,
39:35 or a certain group of people,
39:37 and the brand that is being faced,
39:39 is being faced by the poor,
39:41 who have to feed themselves,
39:43 who have to sell their wheat.
39:45 So, it is necessary and obligatory
39:47 to fix the policies,
39:49 we will come back to this,
39:51 and then we will talk about food.
39:53 Welcome back after the break.
39:55 I have been in Egypt for the past five days,
39:57 I am trying to understand
39:59 how the Palestinians are suffering,
40:01 and how they are suffering.
40:03 A journalist from Pakistan
40:05 is here in Egypt,
40:07 and we have had various meetings,
40:09 at official places,
40:11 and also with fellow journalists,
40:13 we have had meetings with journalists,
40:15 we have tried a lot,
40:17 our foreign office has tried a lot,
40:19 our press has tried a lot,
40:21 our foreign office has tried a lot,
40:23 our Pakistan embassy in Egypt,
40:25 has tried a lot to get access
40:27 to the Rafah border.
40:29 But as soon as we came here,
40:31 the next day, the bombing started on Rafah.
40:33 And till now, many Palestinians
40:35 have lost their lives.
40:37 In an Arab League meeting,
40:39 we came across something,
40:41 and it was that many people,
40:43 and the woman from the Arab League,
40:45 was also telling us that
40:47 she was two years old,
40:49 since she left her home,
40:51 Palestine.
40:53 But she has kept her house's keys,
40:55 safe and secure.
40:57 After many decades,
40:59 she could not forget her home,
41:01 and could not forget her land.
41:03 Even today, Palestinians,
41:05 for the defense of their land,
41:07 are trying,
41:09 without any weapon,
41:11 to keep their land,
41:13 safe and secure.
41:15 But Israel is trying hard,
41:17 to push them,
41:19 and throw them into the deserts of Sinai.
41:21 Even today,
41:23 where I am sitting,
41:25 even in Egypt,
41:27 the same sentiments,
41:29 the same feelings,
41:31 about Palestine,
41:33 are present in Pakistan.
41:35 The same heartache,
41:37 the same sorrow,
41:39 and the same regret,
41:41 that the world is not able to do for Palestine.
41:43 But there is a hope,
41:45 that because of the light of the Prophet,
41:47 at this time,
41:49 in different universities,
41:51 young people are protesting.
41:53 And that protest is being felt
41:55 in Gaza,
41:57 and the people of Gaza are thankful for it.
41:59 In the United Nations General Assembly,
42:01 at this time,
42:03 the Palestinians,
42:05 have been supported,
42:07 and accepted,
42:09 by the United Nations,
42:11 and we pray,
42:13 that the United Nations,
42:15 International Courts, Vienna Convention,
42:17 Geneva Convention on International
42:19 Humanitarian Rights,
42:21 can stop Israel,
42:23 and Israel can stop
42:25 this barbarism and tyranny.
42:27 From Egypt,
42:29 Anika Nassar, asks for your permission,
42:31 with this prayer,
42:33 that the Palestinians and Kashmiris,
42:35 be free from fruit, flowers, and barbarism.
