00:00Mr. Bilal, you are talking about a year's work.
00:04You have given the numbers, how your exchange rates have doubled,
00:11how inflation has come down by 1.5 to 2 percent,
00:14that is, the rate of growth has decreased,
00:16and the rest of the things you are talking about,
00:18the agreement with IMF is being carried out successfully,
00:21and the other things that you have counted,
00:23you are saying that the acceptance is of their community and the head of their community.
00:28Do you think this is the case?
00:31No, I don't think so.
00:33But we will see when the elections come.
00:38We will continue our journey of performance.
00:42And we, BMLA, have always done our politics on the basis of performance.
00:47And God willing, in Punjab and in Wafaaq,
00:49we will go back to the people on the basis of our performance.
00:53Okay, so it is more about performance.
00:55Did you get any idea about Mehekmeh?
00:57What are you going to get?
00:58By the way, you were saying that something will be announced by everyone by today.
01:02No, Mr. Sati, no decision has been made yet.
01:04I am sure when Prime Minister and Mr. Nawaz Sharif make this decision,
01:08I think when you will know, we will also know.
01:12Okay.
01:13Let's talk about performance.
01:15Is the glass half full or half empty?
01:18I saw that you are sitting here with the numbers.
01:21GDP growth is less than 1 percent.
01:25Your main crops are minus 11 percent.
01:28Cotton crop is minus 34 percent.
01:30Large-scale manufacturing is growing at minus 1.9 percent.
01:35Unemployment is at the highest level in this government in 77 years.
01:41Zara-e-Mubadala's reserves are 11.2 billion dollars.
01:46Dollars.
01:47Yes, dollars.
01:48Sorry.
01:4911.2 billion dollars.
01:51PTI government had 20 billion dollars.
01:53Exports were not able to reach the peak that PTI government had reached.
02:01Then you say that it was saved from default.
02:03The default price on which insurance is done,
02:06Pakistan's rate is 1450 BPS.
02:10Which is a very high risk default.
02:12During PTI government, it was above 350.
02:14Okay.
02:15They say, stop inflation.
02:17I am telling you, cost of living in PTI in three and a half years,
02:20went up by 40 percent.
02:22In this, it went up by 80 percent in this period,
02:25in the period of PDM government.
02:271 crore 80 lakh people,
02:29increase in poverty,
02:31in the number of poor people,
02:331 crore 18 million people increased.
02:36And these pages are full of data and charts.
02:39I will take the answer.
02:41Mr. Satish, then allow me.
02:44Briefly, briefly.
02:46That those people.
02:48Yes, Mr. Satish.
02:50I said briefly.
02:52I am listening.
02:54Yes, yes.
02:55That's all I will say.
02:56The performance of which we own.
02:58The fundamental pain of PTI is that
03:00those who tried to default the country again and again,
03:03by writing letters to IMF,
03:05in which Mr. Shaukat Kareem and others came forward,
03:08that they were saddened that the country did not default.
03:11And these people are the pride of Allah,
03:13that the people who set the economy on fire with their own hands,
03:16the fire that we put out,
03:18instead of acknowledging that the fire has been put out,
03:21they are saying, look, this house looks burnt.
03:23We put out this fire.
03:24We brought it to stability.
03:26In the future, we will take this economy towards growth.
03:28You did not talk to the People's Party in February
03:30just to make a government.
03:33Do you think that no one will be able to handle these economic conditions?
03:35You are still surprised that things have been handled.
03:37Do you think that by June-July,
03:39so many economic issues will be ruined
03:41that no one will be able to handle them?
03:43We have disappointed you.
03:44And see, today, when I talk about the constructive character of the opposition,
03:47then in Time magazine,
03:49instead of writing what the Prime Minister of India should write,
03:52that Pakistan can be a threat to the region,
03:55or instead of writing that the military is not using its resources
03:58to fight terrorism properly,
04:00you should also take part in the war against terrorism.
04:02You should also acknowledge economic improvement.
04:04And if you have any constructive suggestions there,
04:06then present them.
04:08These are my requests.
04:09If the opposition does this work,
04:10then it will serve the nation.
04:11Thank you very much.
