00:0035 years ago, China was standing where India was standing.
00:06Today, where has China gone and where is India?
00:30India is standing where China is standing.
00:54First of all, I am very happy that
00:58we have given the most amount of money in the history of Pakistan for social protection.
01:05In our history, we have never raised the lowest level of resources.
01:12So, from the beginning, we did not go where we should have gone.
01:19We went to the other side.
01:21We said that first the money will come, then the welfare state will be formed.
01:24I want to give two examples, Mr. Speaker.
01:27China and India, both have a population of more than one billion.
01:3335 years ago, China was standing where India was standing.
01:39Today, where has China gone and where is India?
01:43What did they do?
01:45And what did India not do?
01:47The situation in India also improved.
01:49In India also, they progressed in the last 30 years.
01:52But in India, the gap between the rich and the poor increased.
01:56Today, there is poverty there and the richest people are there.
01:59What did China do?
02:01They decided,
02:03which was decided by the great leaders of the world in the state of Madinah,
02:08that we will bring up the lowest people first.
02:11And we went to China and we saw what they did,
02:15what methods they used to raise their weakest class.
02:20So, Mr. Speaker, this is a miracle in the world.
02:24It is a miracle.
02:26They raised 70 crore people from poverty in 35 years.
02:31And just this year, President Xi Jinping announced that
02:37we have eliminated extreme poverty in China.
02:41This has never happened in the history of the world.
02:44It is a miracle.
02:46But as they raised the poor,
02:48China also became an economic giant and a superpower.
02:51India also had such a big market.
02:55But they did not take these steps.
