00:00Mr. Nawaz Sharif announced this for the electrician of Punjab and a debate broke out in the whole country.
00:05If I keep it specific, then there was a dialogue on Twitter and X
00:11between Mr. Mariam Nawaz Sharif and Mr. Mustafa Kamal,
00:13in which Mr. Mariam Nawaz Sharif said,
00:15responding to him that,
00:17Mr. Mustafa, Punjab has not given relief for free,
00:19but has given money for its people.
00:21And for this, Punjab has paid 45 lakh rupees from its budget.
00:23So, the summary of his tweet was that,
00:25if you want it to be in Karachi, then talk to the Sindh government,
00:27they should also give relief to their people.
00:29In response, Mr. Mustafa Kamal said,
00:31thank you for your advice, but if the Sindh government was so good,
00:33these are my words,
00:35this is the summary of Mr. Mustafa Kamal's tweet,
00:37if the Sindh government was so good,
00:39then what is the need for us to come to Lahore four months before this election,
00:41and announce the non-profit support with your party.
00:44I will cut it short,
00:46in this, today, the Minister of Sindh has criticized a lot.
00:48Without giving a reference to this announcement,
00:50he said, stupid announcements are made,
00:52then it becomes a problem for us.
00:54Mr. Saeed Ghani said,
00:5645 lakh rupees,
00:58the maximum benefit for one customer will be 5000 rupees,
01:00and instead of that,
01:02the 45 lakh rupees that you will save,
01:04how much more work would you have done with that?
01:06And the Punjab government says,
01:08we have spent our budget on this.
01:10Then, Mr. Farooq Sattar said,
01:12this is just for political interests,
01:14leave the rest of the country,
01:16just take care of the people of your province.
01:18So, with me right now,
01:20Mr. Mustafa Kamal,
01:22of course, the senior commissioner of MKM Pakistan,
01:24we will talk to him.
01:26Mr. Mustafa Kamal, thank you very much for your time.
01:28The question is very simple.
01:30Do you think that
01:32Ms. Maryam or Mr. Mustafa Kamal
01:34have taken a very good step,
01:36and this step should also be taken in Sindh?
01:38Or do you think that this is a non-starter?
01:40Mr. Farooq Sattar said,
01:42this is just for political interests,
01:44otherwise, what will happen if
01:4614 rupees are reduced in two months?
01:48What is your opinion on this?
01:50No, no, we think that
01:52this is a very good step,
01:54and they are working,
01:56they are active,
01:58and there is a difference
02:00between the previous government
02:02and the Punjab government.
02:04People are also talking about this.
02:06Our issue is that the Punjab government
02:08will not reduce the prices, Mr. Badami.
02:10We have been talking about electricity
02:12for years,
02:14and we can show you a series of our activities,
02:16but soon after this budget,
02:18after this budget,
02:20there is a problem with the prices,
02:22the inflation has increased,
02:24and the taxes that have been imposed,
02:26and the ambitious budget
02:28of 12,000,
02:309,000,
02:3213,000 rupees
02:34to collect taxes,
02:36and the conditions
02:38for the next IMF deal,
02:40after that,
02:42a common man's life
02:44has been doubled.
02:46As you know,
02:48Pakistan earns more than 50%
02:50of its revenue.
02:52Even in this difficult situation,
02:5450% of Pakistan's export
02:56is based in Karachi.
02:58So, industries are being shut down here.
03:00You know that
03:02in our region,
03:04there are 6 cents per unit charges.
03:06Here, we are giving
03:0816 cents per unit charges.
03:10After that,
03:12the issue of payment
03:14came up,
03:16and we did a lot of research on it.
03:18Alhamdulillah,
03:20we have this option today
03:22that we don't need
03:24any protests
03:26to talk to people.
03:28We don't need to block
03:30any road.
03:32Today, Allah has given us the ability
03:34to take time from the Prime Minister,
03:36to take time from the Minister,
03:38and go and solve people's problems.
03:40But Mr. Mushtaq,
03:42if you make this particular demand
03:44to the Chief Executive,
03:46he has a budget.
03:48For example, he has a budget of Rs 100.
03:50He took Rs 5 out of Rs 100,
03:52and made it Rs 95.
03:54He gave relief to his people for 2 months.
03:56Give it to your Prime Minister as well.
03:58What can Mr. Maryam Nawazini do in this?
04:00She has a decision.
04:02Your Prime Minister will also do it.
04:04No, Mr. Wasim,
04:06just give me a minute.
04:08Let me continue.
04:10When I told you about the background,
04:12when people were not able to pay their bills,
04:14and the impact of the electricity bill,
04:16we went to the Prime Minister.
04:18We were both in the
04:20leadership of Khalid Mughal.
04:22The Prime Minister
04:24called the Power Minister,
04:26the Information Minister,
04:28the Deputy Prime Minister,
04:30the Foreign Minister,
04:32his staff, and the youth.
04:34His entire team was there.
04:36We kept a complete case.
04:38This was a long time ago.
04:40We told him about all the studies and numbers.
04:42We told him that this won't work.
04:46Our calculation is that
04:48with the capacity charges,
04:50and the redundancy,
04:52this won't work.
04:54He told our delegation,
04:56Mr. Khalid Mughal and Mr. Mustafa Kawan,
04:58this is my own demand.
05:00This is the Prime Minister's demand.
05:02This is my own demand.
05:04We have to give relief for the electricity bill.
05:06He had our meeting from there.
05:08We went to the Power Minister.
05:10We told him about the details.
05:12We told him we wanted to
05:14take him on board.
05:16The next day,
05:18the Prime Minister's Deputy Secretary
05:20sat with us in that meeting.
05:22I took all my MNAs
05:24and went to the Power Minister.
05:26We had a two and a half hour briefing.
05:28The Prime Minister told us
05:30that our Information Minister,
05:32Mr. Attaullah Tariq,
05:34and
05:36Mr. Mustafa Kaman
05:38had a press conference
05:40on the same electricity bills and IPPs.
05:42What I want to say is that
05:44our problem is not with the Punjab government.
05:46What I said yesterday
05:48and the day before yesterday
05:50was that we
05:52were not meeting the Prime Minister
05:54to see a press conference
05:56that the cost of electricity in Punjab
05:58has gone down by Rs. 14.
06:00I only see the news.
06:02We were meeting the Prime Minister
06:04to see if the cost of electricity
06:06in Punjab has gone down.
06:08It is possible that the Prime Minister
06:10will say that what you said
06:12will have an impact on the whole of Pakistan.
06:14A Chief Executive of a province
06:16has made a decision for its people.
06:20Still,
06:22the Prime Minister,
06:24because this problem is in the whole country,
06:26where I belong,
06:28there is a lot of it here.
06:30Alhamdulillah, people in Punjab
06:32should be aware of this.
06:34They should be aware of this sensitivity.
06:36If this is what you are saying,
06:38then the Prime Minister should say it.
06:40We should not get the news
06:42that the Prime Minister of Punjab
06:44has done this.
06:46You should also talk to your Prime Minister.
06:48What I want to say is that
06:50you know
06:52how our relations are with the People's Party.
06:54We have met
06:56CBM's, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
06:58and Zardari
07:00as well.
07:02We have not fought.
07:04But we have a history.
07:06We have always complained
07:08that the Sindh government
07:10does not treat Karachi and Hyderabad well.
07:12We have always complained
07:14that we are not a part of their governance.
07:16How can you say this to us in these circumstances?
07:18And then I said
07:20that if we were in such good conditions,
07:22then we would have come to you
07:24four months before the election
07:26and expressed our unconditional support.
07:28This is what I want to say.
