00:00You give me two days, I will make these three leaders sit, and within three days I will get this decision done.
00:05I am challenging your program.
00:07Now the same scheme, like fools, the government has brought a very confusing scheme.
00:12And it is true, what Mr. Mir said is true.
00:15When we talk to the merchants here, they say, sir, I will not show the door of my house to the angel of death.
00:21You will come again and again.
00:23Okay, now if you want to change a system completely,
00:28then this does not happen.
00:29Okay, what we are going to do, with apologies,
00:32one is taxonomy, the whole system of taxation.
00:37What will be the policy, how will the economy run, what will be the way forward.
00:41But I basically wanted to know that you said that this is a very foolish scheme.
00:45That is, there must be some thought process behind it.
00:47Yes, yes, why not?
00:49Who gave the advice? On whose advice did it happen?
00:51Look, listen to me, whenever there is pressure,
00:54they take out such a scheme from their box and keep it.
00:59And if the finance minister and his team are strong and they know the tax system,
01:04then they pick it up and throw it away in two minutes.
01:07If there is a fear, they pick it up and throw it away.
01:09Okay?
01:10But these people who do not know the tax system, what do they do?
01:15They say, man, this is a very good scheme, they are shown wonderful dreams,
01:18only 200 million will come.
01:20And later it is found that not even 2 million came.
01:23Then Mr. Ateeq Mir also goes out on the road, the rest are shut down.
01:27And then you have to come one step forward and two steps backward.
01:31So, I came to know while looking at this scheme.
01:33And they agreed on it that they will give 1% here.
01:36No question asked, we said, no question asked.
01:39The small traders will not have any audit.
01:41If I had talked about 40 lakh traders, then 35 lakh would have come out.
01:47So, we did not want to pinch anyone, you will let them come in the system.
01:52I think you give me two days, I will make these three leaders sit down
01:56and I will get this decision done in three days.
01:58I will challenge your program.
02:02Okay, you will get the decision done in three days.
02:04Mr. Mir, what do you say now?
02:09Look, Mr. Ashfaq Tora is valuable to us.
02:12We have a very good relationship with Mr. Ashfaq Tora.
02:16And we often consult with him.
02:19And he always talks in such a way that he has a calculated solution.
02:26But unfortunately, what we call FBR,
02:30which is completely suppressed under the ill-fated shadow of IMF,
02:36a policy is made there, it comes close to being implemented,
02:41then some reform comes in it.
02:43After a policy is made, why do you tease it again and again?
02:47This is the reason that the traders think that they are saying it.
02:51For example, this text says about the Tajir Dost scheme
02:56that your refund will be adjusted in the end.
02:59You will get a refund.
03:01So people do not think that they will give a refund.
03:03They are hungry, naked people.
03:05They are dishonest people.
03:06From where will they give a refund?
03:08People do not trust them.
03:10You see, they themselves are sitting on a delicate branch.
03:13They do not know whether they are corrupt or not.
03:17So from where will we take money?
03:19To say that a law has been made.
03:22So Mr. Mir, tell me, the protests you have done so far,
03:26or the strike you did,
03:28what has been the effect of it on the governmental level?
03:32The strike was yours, the business was closed,
03:35but what was the effect of it?
03:37Has the government accepted your proposals or have your demands been accepted so far?
03:43Look, apart from this, the chairman of the FBR has called me to talk about this scheme.
03:50But look, understand one thing.
03:53Right now, I am seeing that this tax scheme is being focused more on the media.
03:59I am telling you a bigger crisis than this.
04:02I am telling you a bigger storm than this.
04:04These electricity bills, do not consider them ordinary.
04:08In Bangladesh, what has happened to the quota system?
04:13What has happened to the electricity bills?
04:16What do you consider this strike to be?
04:19Why has it been so successful?
04:21Why has every hole been closed?
04:23Everyone's house is filled with electricity bills.
04:26I am still saying, with the support of your program,
04:30I am still saying to these leaders of the country,
04:34that for God's sake, on the basis of a storm,
04:37eliminate the illegal taxes in the electricity bills.
04:40Remove this sword that increases the electricity bills due to the change in the slab.
04:49And the biggest thing, this is the verse that you add.
04:53Look, I have been saying this for many months,
04:56that we are entering a very dangerous zone.
04:59A very dangerous zone.
05:01When people will see that either they have to fight or die,
05:05then it will be a big challenge for the rulers and the state.
05:09Therefore, look, Mr. Ashfaq Tora,
05:12please pay attention to this.
05:14Who has been taxed, withholding tax?
05:17Listen to my sentence.
05:20People are dying of starvation.
05:23Liquor is rising below the poverty line.
05:25And you have imposed withholding tax on all items that are essential for life.
05:35Because you reduce the burden of saving people's lives.
05:39This means you love corpses.
05:41Okay.
05:44Okay, Mr. Ashfaq Tora, basically I want you to sum up a little.
05:48What is our biggest problem right now?
05:51We know the issue of tax collection.
05:53Tax is not being collected on the basis of justice.
05:56We are talking about taking it from the merchants now.
05:58We have the business of agriculture in front of us.
06:00Tax has never been collected.
06:02At one time, there was food security.
06:04Now there is food insecurity.
06:05Things are being imported.
06:06But the tax could not be imposed on that side.
06:08The second thing is that these bleeds,
06:10their government expenditures,
06:12in which you know money is being wasted.
06:14There are many issues that should be discussed.
06:17What is the most serious problem in your opinion?
06:21The most serious issue is the IMF.
06:23You cannot do anything while staying in the agreement of the IMF.
06:26This is an illegitimate condition.
06:28The way Mr. Jyotikni is pointing,
06:30it is like lightning bolts.
06:32If you just look at it,
06:34if you listen to me,
06:36and if you get the tax audit of the IPPs of the policy of 1994,
06:40the withholding tax,
06:42and then get the tariff,
06:44the IPPs of 2002-2004,
06:47their EPC contract,
06:49these 3-4 big companies,
06:51the suppliers,
06:53see how much permacoward they have imposed in Pakistan,
06:56and how much they have imposed abroad,
06:58their heat recovery,
07:00and the fuel consumption audit,
07:02if you get it done,
07:04none of them will ask you to do anything.
07:06Number one.
07:08So what is the obstacle in that?
07:10I don't know.
07:12The government knows that.
07:14Let me tell you one thing.
07:16Today, I am telling you from the perspective of your program,
07:18that this is not a big issue.
07:20According to you,
07:22the government's expenses should be reduced.
07:24But your biggest expenditure is
07:26the interest that you are giving,
07:28the interest you are giving in your loans.
07:30You are licking that.
07:32And what my religion has said,
07:34what is called sin,
07:36what is called adultery,
07:38it is licking you.
07:40And you have kept 9% inflation high
07:42because your currency valuation,
07:44your dollar should be 235 right now.
07:46You are keeping it at 278
07:48and making the nation happy.
07:50And you are saying,
07:52see, stability has come.
07:54Stability has not come because of your IMF.
07:56Stability has come because of your import curbing
07:58and you will have to stop it.
08:00I can tell you with confidence,
08:02if you work in your own recipe,
08:04then God willing,
08:06you will get a relief from the IMF in 3 years.
08:08And people will get a big relief.
08:10If you work in your own recipe,
08:12you will get a big relief.
08:16Thank you so much.
