00:00Thank you very much. In simple words, please explain that a policy was introduced whose name was
00:08Trade Friendly Policy. According to you, this is a trade hostile policy.
00:15The government was telling us that people will easily become a part of it.
00:22And everything will be done digitally. I mean, no one will have any trouble.
00:28We saw in the newspapers that there were very nice articles published.
00:31And we saw some traders, our brothers, they were laughing and posting pictures with the government officials.
00:37So, today you have shut it down. The public wants to know, the whole of Pakistan wants to know,
00:43what is your real problem?
00:45Look, when the Trade Friendly Policy was introduced, we were only told that the non-registered people,
00:53the non-filers, will have to pay Rs. 1200. The tax will come in the net.
00:59And next year, they will file their return. So, we said, there is no problem.
01:03We gave them access to come and register people.
01:05In the beginning, you also laughed.
01:07Yes, we said, look, this was not on the filer. It was on the non-filer.
01:12That when the non-filer is registered, then the blame on us that the traders do not come in the net,
01:17will be fulfilled. These people should register. We gave them access to come and register people.
01:22Inside, it was different. They did not tell us the truth.
01:24They spent 3-4 months. They did not tell us what else is there in this.
01:28The last meeting we had with the previous chairman, we said, tell us the truth.
01:33Why are you not telling us what this is?
01:35What is the truth?
01:36What is the truth?
01:37He said, we have made a valuation table, on property value, that if your shop is worth Rs. 1 crore,
01:44its price, the D.C. rate or the F.P.R. rate, 10% of that will be your income in the summer.
01:52You will pay tax on that income.
01:54We said, this does not happen in the world.
01:56Income tax is on income.
01:58Where did this happen on valuation?
02:00As much as the business has happened.
02:01This is injustice. You should not do this.
02:04But the chairman who was old, left after giving the resignation.
02:07He listened to us.
02:09He said, you write something and give it.
02:11What do you want?
02:12We made a non-filer.
02:14You can take Rs. 1200 from that.
02:16You can make these categories.
02:18You can also take advance tax from that.
02:20We are doing it because if it is not in the net for 10 years or 5 years, it is not our fault.
02:26It is the F.P.R.'s fault.
02:27It was their job to bring it in the net.
02:29We are telling them again and again.
02:31They also know, our Nizami sir.
02:33For 25 years, I have been saying that the electricity commercial meter is fresh.
02:40Register it in the same way.
02:42You are taking 10% income tax in electricity bills.
02:44You are taking 18% sale tax.
02:46Who are you taking it from?
02:48Why don't you register it?
02:49If it is a non-filer.
02:50These are not tussles.
02:52F.P.R. does not have the capacity.
02:54They go to people.
02:55They take money and put it in their pockets.
02:57They register it.
02:58Even now, when we gave access, people complained to us.
03:01Mr. Ajman, they go to the side and say,
03:03meet us there, meet us in a hotel, meet us in the office of F.P.R.
03:07Until you don't fix F.P.R.
03:10What are your set up demands?
03:12What do you want the government to take back?
03:15And what should the new thing do?
03:17This valuation table, take it back.
03:20F.P.R. has accepted that it is impractical.
03:23Believe me, all the meetings before us,
03:25they have accepted this.
03:27We said, take it back, sit with us.
03:29You have to take tax.
03:31The situation is that 70% is missing in buying and selling.
03:35The shopkeeper is not able to pay his expenses at 30%.
03:38You are asking him to pay tax of Rs. 3.5 lakh per year.
03:41Pay tax of Rs. 7.20 lakh.
03:42Pay tax of Rs. 5.40 lakh.
03:44You are imposing on him,
03:45who doesn't have an income of Rs. 6 lakh,
03:47on whom there is a margin.
03:48This is the oppression.
03:49We say, take it back immediately.
03:50Sit with us.
03:51We are ready to talk.
03:52They are calling you for a meeting.
03:54They have been saying for two days,
03:56come and meet, but you are not coming.
03:57We have been meeting for six months.
03:59We have been meeting for six months.
04:01Nobody was telling us.
04:03The day of the strike is today.
04:05Yesterday, they called me and said, come and have a meeting.
04:07I said, no.
04:08We will have a meeting after the strike.
04:10I am still getting calls from the FBI,
04:13to have a meeting.
04:14But I said,
04:15keep the meeting for tomorrow.
04:16We are ready to come.
04:17Talk to us.
04:18We are ready to do it.
04:19We are loyal to this country.
04:20The problem is,
04:21our tax,
04:22people eat it.
04:23On top of that,
04:24you see,
04:25neither are the salaries decreasing,
04:27nor are the deaths decreasing.
04:29Electricity is free,
04:30gas is free,
04:31everything is free.
04:32I want to ask a different issue.
04:33Yes.
04:34Mr. Baloch,
04:35tell me,
04:36we have seen that
04:37many people
04:38when they trade with each other,
04:40to save from tax,
04:42they use cards.
04:44They sign on the card and send it.
04:46And all the trading is going on on that.
04:48You have also made big formulas like this.
04:51So,
04:52it is obvious that you are representing the traders.
04:55You are presenting the traders very innocently.
04:58But,
04:59tell me,
05:00which is the country,
05:01where the markets,
05:03the shops,
05:04are open till midnight?
05:06I am talking about the UK,
05:07Europe,
05:08all the countries.
05:09If you talk about one side,
05:10that there is justice there,
05:12then in Pakistan,
05:13which thing,
05:14which electricity,
05:15is available in large quantities,
05:17and you have installed
05:18thousands of lights
05:19in each shop.
05:20So,
05:21does this justify these things?
05:23Let's talk about this for a minute.
05:26Look,
05:27the thing is,
05:28the agreement you have made with the IPPs,
05:31you were supposed to pay 22,000 megawatts of electricity.
05:34You are paying 48,000 megawatts.
05:36And you are telling us to shut down the shops.
05:38Sir,
05:39let me tell you,
05:41this is the country,
05:42where we buy the most expensive electricity in peak hours.
05:45If we don't buy,
05:46they can't supply electricity in the country.
05:48This much money,
05:49the chairman of ISCO,
05:50sorry,
05:51the chairman of ISCO,
05:52told me,
05:53that the money you pay in peak hours,
05:55if you don't pay,
05:56shut down the shops at 6 in the evening,
05:58the country will be burdened.
05:59This is a matter of stubbornness.
06:01If the electricity is for the people,
06:03why should I pay for it?
06:04This is a different issue.
06:05Sir,
06:06this is what I want to say.
06:08FBI has announced a scheme,
06:10the machines will be installed in the big shops,
06:13and their representative will sit there,
06:16and there will be a registration,
06:17how many customers have come in one day,
06:19how much sales tax has been paid,
06:21and there was a lot of opposition from you.
06:25Why?
06:26No, there was no opposition.
06:27We said,
06:28the merchants are not educated,
06:29the chains,
06:32brands,
06:33cash and carries,
06:34big stores,
06:35super stores,
06:36install them.
06:37They installed them.
06:38What is happening there?
06:39The person installing the machines,
06:40the private person,
06:41teaches them how to steal.
06:42The person sitting in Prague,
06:44says,
06:45there is a lot of corruption in this country.
06:47Believe me,
06:48there can be a lot of tax.
06:49One day,
06:50I asked the commissioner,
06:51tell me the truth,
06:52that in a certain place,
06:53there is a PS machine,
06:54before this,
06:55there was more tax,
06:56or is it now?
06:57Before this,
06:58there was more tax.
06:59These are the problems.
07:00Until you correct the FBR,
07:01corruption,
07:02I say,
07:03death penalty for corruption.
07:04Why has China progressed?
07:05This corruption has drowned us.
07:06I swear.
07:07Let's go.
