00:00Mismanagement.
00:01Mr. Zubair, why should the public pay for your mismanagement?
00:05This is not our responsibility.
00:07Mr. Hafiz Naeem and Mr. Rehman have given a similar statement.
00:10I will tell you why the public should pay for the expenses of 1300cc cars.
00:14After that, I will come to you.
00:16For the past three days, the Negotiating Committee has been advertising for the search of the missing person.
00:21It has not come back.
00:22Come to the front, come to this stage and negotiate.
00:25The whole world will know that the government has no right to do this injustice to the people.
00:30I want to ask the Prime Minister, why can't he sit in a 1300cc car himself?
00:35This is not a matter of platelets.
00:37Why should the Pakistani people pay for the petrol of their big cars and their expenses in their bills?
00:42Why don't they come in front of the people and announce that they are reducing their expenses?
00:47The government itself made an offer to the Islamic Community on the issue of IPPs.
00:53For the past three days, the Negotiating Committee has been advertising for the search of the missing person.
00:57Has the government given up on this?
00:59Has the government given up on negotiating with the government?
01:03Or is there something else going on?
01:05Because they have no solution.
01:08What will they negotiate for?
01:10They are not ready to accept the solution.
01:13As Mr. Hafiz Naeem and Mr. Rehman pointed out,
01:16Anika, there is a budget.
01:18There are additional taxes on the public.
01:21There is inflation for the public.
01:23There is an increase in difficulties for the public.
01:25And the current government is saying that this burden will have to be borne.
01:29There are difficult circumstances.
01:30So if there are difficult circumstances, then why has the budget of the National Assembly been increased?
01:34And almost 50% has been increased.
01:36Why has the budget of the Senate of Pakistan been increased?
01:38Why has the budget of the Prime Minister's House been increased?
01:41Why has the budget of the President's House been increased?
01:44Will anyone explain this?
01:46You are saying that you will bear the burden for the public.
01:49You said the same thing two years ago.
01:51Now you are saying that the public should bear the burden.
01:54If the public should bear the burden, then you should also show that we are ready to bear the burden.
01:58We will not use the big cars.
02:00We go out for leisure.
02:03Our sports minister has also gone for the Olympics.
02:08So that can also be avoided.
02:11You don't like Rana Sahib's boat ride, Mr. Zubair.
02:14I have noticed this.
02:16It is true that if the public sees their leaders taking austerity measures,
02:22then the public automatically does not question them.
02:26I agree with you over here.
02:27But tell me, Mr. Zubair,
02:29let's accept all the things.
02:31All these austerity measures,
02:33or these politically unpopular decisions,
02:37who is behind taking them?
02:39Who is behind taking these austerity measures?
02:41And why is Mr. Nawaz Sharif quiet?
02:43Why is he silent?
03:14Why is he not reducing the budget of the Prime Minister's house?
03:16Who is reducing his salary?
03:20Who is reducing his salary?
03:22Who has reduced his salary so far?
03:24As far as Mr. Nawaz Sharif is concerned,
03:26what will be his point of view,
03:30only he can tell.
03:33But one thing, the difficulty in which I can understand Mr. Nawaz Sharif,
03:37no one has more insight into politics than him.
03:40Obviously, he has been in politics for 40 years.
03:42He has been Prime Minister three times.
03:44He knows that PMLN does not have the mandate to govern.
03:48And does not have the capacity to rule.
03:50Because the biggest thing is,
03:52in a democracy, in a parliamentary democracy,
03:54especially where there is a difficult economy,
03:57and you have to make difficult decisions,
03:59it is very important for the public to stand behind it.
04:01Now, the public is not standing behind him with 30 seats.
04:05Political polarization is so extreme.
04:07There is political instability.
04:09So, obviously, how can good and strict decisions be made?
04:15And these government ministers,
04:17like Ahsan Iqbal, whom you just heard the clip,
04:20these are other ministers,
04:21their frustration is visible.
04:23Normally, when a government of five years comes,
04:26they have a honeymoon period.
04:29And they are making very good decisions.
04:31And the public can see that the decisions that are being made today,
04:35will be better for them after six months, after a year.
04:39But the public is not seeing anything.
04:41And Ahsan Iqbal has completely disappointed that he does not have a solution.
04:45If someone else has a solution, he should come and tell.
04:47In fact, he said that if someone else had come, he would have done the same.
04:51This means that the way he is going bad, the same way he is going bad.
04:55By the way, Mr. Zubair, do you have a solution?
04:57We should have said that we have no solution.
04:59Last question, very quickly.
05:01He has invited those who have a solution to come and sit.
05:04Do you have a solution?
05:07Of course, there is a solution.
05:08As I just said, first of all,
05:10austerity measures.
05:11There are two sides of the budget.
05:14One is tax collection and the other is expenses.
05:16You have increased the tax amount by 40%.
05:21You have put 40% burden on the public.
05:23The easier way is that they do not put 40% on the public.
05:27They reduce their expenses by 40%.
05:30The bottom line is that in Pakistan's budget,
05:33there is a minimum gap and you have to take the least amount of loans.
05:38On the one hand, if you put 40% on the public and increase your expenses,
05:42what is the benefit?
05:43You will take the same amount of loans.
05:44Reduce expenses. It's a simple thing.
