00:00Take this example.
01:01Tell me, where will foreign investment come from?
01:04Or where will local investment come from?
01:06After that, even if someone makes a local investment,
01:08there is a 61% tax on him.
01:10There is a 40% tax on his employees.
01:13And there is a 50% tax on business individuals.
01:15In this tax rate and in this electricity and gas rate,
01:19all the failures of the government,
01:21the incompetence of the government,
01:23the theft of the government,
01:25and the mistakes of the government,
01:27which are being brought on you,
01:29when all this is brought on us,
01:31after that, can we export growth in the country?
01:34The answer is no.
01:35We are not part of the international supply chain.
01:37We export basic things.
01:39When cotton came, we exported cotton.
01:41Now this time your 30% cotton is down.
01:44Last year, when you broke your promise,
01:46you killed the wheat farmer in Punjab.
01:49So the wheat farming decreased.
01:51When the money ran out after the wheat farmer,
01:53your cotton, wheat, everything,
01:55corn, rice, everything was affected.
01:57Your large-scale crops are 11.5% less,
02:00which are important crops.
02:02Where are you talking about exports?
02:04They say it's vegetables.
02:08This is a very good thing that the farmer
02:11did not have the money to plant wheat,
02:14did not have the money to sow seeds,
02:16did not have the money to sow rice,
02:18did not have the money to sow cotton,
02:20but he was planting radish and carrots.
02:23Tell me one thing.
02:26This time, the target is 40% more tax revenue.
02:30There is a serious shortfall.
02:32There is a shortfall of 386 million.
02:35But the government says they will cover it.
02:37Will this be possible?
02:39This shortfall, because the Taajar 2 scheme has failed.
02:42And we don't know about the agriculture tax.
02:45In the morning, they are saying they will impose it.
02:48When will they impose it? How will they impose it?
02:51That is also up in the air.
02:53Will we be able to meet all the financial targets?
02:57No.
02:59On the one hand, the FBI is saying that
03:02we are not able to meet the target because
03:04the inflation has decreased.
03:06The inflation has not increased as much as we expected,
03:09so we have received less tax.
03:11If this is true,
03:13it means that if the inflation has not increased
03:15and your revenue has decreased,
03:17your expenses should also decrease.
03:19This is what we are doing.
03:21If you impose more tax on the FBI,
03:24people will not have anything to give.
03:2710.5 crore Pakistanis are below the poverty line today.
03:317 crore children are below the poverty line today.
03:34Even today, lakhs of children will sleep hungry.
03:37How much more tax will you impose on them?
03:39You have imposed tax on everything,
03:41from milk to pens,
03:43except for the grave.
03:45If you impose tax on the grave as well,
03:47then it is okay.
03:49But tell me,
03:51you have taken 40% tax from the first class,
03:53and deducted it from their salary.
03:55After that,
03:57you have taken 18% sale tax,
03:59and 2% tax from people in the name of retailers.
04:01But you do not have the courage
04:03to take tax from big landowners
04:05who own 1,000 acres of land.
04:07You do not have the courage
04:09to take property tax from people
04:11who own billions of rupees in Lahore
04:13or billions of rupees in Karachi.
04:15You do not have the courage
04:17to take tax from shopkeepers.
04:19You impose tax on middle class people
04:21and on poor people.
04:23You impose sale tax on them.
04:25This is how you are running the country.
04:27I am just reminding you.
04:29How much tax did you impose?
04:31Mrita,
04:33when you had this fight
04:35with the shopkeepers,
04:37how much tax did you impose?
04:39Rs. 3,000 per month.
04:41Rs. 100 per day.
04:43I still claim
04:45that there is a shopkeeper
04:47in Pakistan
04:49who can pay Rs. 100 per day.
04:51If we call ourselves Pakistanis,
04:53and we are all Pakistanis,
04:55I am not one of those
04:57who distribute certificates
04:59of Islam or Pakistan.
05:01We have to pay Rs. 100.
05:03If I have a medical store
05:05and a consumer is coming to me
05:07by car,
05:09I have built the road.
05:11If someone is coming to me
05:13on foot,
05:15I have built the road.
05:17It is their responsibility
05:19to pay Rs. 100 per day.
05:21What did they do?
05:23They imposed Rs. 50,000.
05:25They cannot pay Rs. 50,000.
05:27When there was pressure,
05:29they imposed Rs. 100 per month.
05:31They got scared.
05:33Seriously,
05:35they are not serious.
05:37Honestly,
05:39Mr. Shahbaz
05:41does not want to reform.
05:43He does not want to do any work.
05:45He is just saving his seat.
05:47He is taking out his time
05:49by doing minimal work.
05:51He will bring the amendment
05:53of the constitution.
05:55He will do other things.
05:57But he is not doing any work.
05:59He does not understand
06:01where his rulers have brought the country.
06:03He does not understand.
06:05The country has come to a place
06:07where our rulers are no more.
06:09Until we shake this system,
06:11we will not be able to move forward.
06:13How poor will we become
06:15compared to the Bengalis?
06:17How poor will we become?
