00:00 Pakistan is going to default. I told the government of Imran Khan that this country is going to default on 16th December 2021. Is there any record in the public? Is there any doubt?
00:12 Didn't the country reach to default on 30th June 2023? Didn't it reach? Who was the irrespective government?
00:20 So, was Pakistan's economy going to default? I have a complaint with you Mr. Satish. This is irrelevant whether the government was of Imran Khan or Shahbaz Sharif.
00:31 When I told Pakistan's economy that it is going to default on 16th December 2021, I knew that even if you put an angel, it would go down.
00:39 So, tell people that I am not saying that it was going to default. I was saying that no matter which government is there, it was going to default.
00:50 And the way you have joined hands with the IWF and the way you have brought this out, for the time being you have taken a bullet.
00:56 So, tell me what is wrong with me. My problem is that I say that thing a little earlier which people understand later.
01:03 And Mr. Asad Umar will listen to me tomorrow. I will tell you. So, in my life, you will never tell me anything that I have said and it has been proven wrong.
01:14 I have given thousands of interviews.
01:17 Mr. Shabbar, what is the basic issue at this time?
01:20 If we assume that any party has said that the movement was in order at that time, this was the reason.
01:27 I have heard your conversation but let me ask you a question and then you can answer it.
01:35 You have also mentioned in your tweet that it is important to inform the programs.
01:40 You have said that the basic issue was of mandate.
01:43 That those who wanted to do it, did not get a mandate because they did not have a mandate.
01:48 They did not get a big mandate, that is why I separated the ways from them.
01:53 So, until this is guaranteed, if a government does not come with a full mandate, it means that the problems of this country cannot be solved.
02:00 Absolutely, there are two things. Absolutely right. Imran Khan's government came for change.
02:06 Tell me with absolute ignorance that in the Pakistani society, the change came in that four and a half years.
02:16 I know it very well that in the police, court, office, we could have changed.
02:24 I am also a part of that failure. The change came in the FBI's corruption.
02:28 We also compromised with the status quo. I am saying that we also had to compromise.
02:35 I am saying this as a part of Imran Khan. I am not saying that I was a part of Imran Khan.
02:39 I am saying that we did not have a mandate.
02:42 We have seen the faces of the Prime Minister, how worried he was.
02:46 So, we did not have a mandate and even today, no one in Pakistan will have a mandate.
02:52 And with a mandate, there will be no support for the SDM.
02:55 And the last thing, I spoke about this in the program yesterday, you miss it.
03:00 I am saying today that no political party has any economic program for the next five years.
03:07 Everyone is talking nonsense. Call one of them today and ask who is your financial advisor.
03:13 And ask him that have you read the five-year IMF report?
03:17 If you want to do a genuine program, call both the economists tomorrow and ask them,
03:23 call all three parties and ask them that have you read the IMF report?
03:27 I can write it down for you that they will talk to you about different things.
03:30 They will not tell you what is the projection for the next five years.
03:34 I am a person who regularly writes articles in the newspaper.
03:38 I see daily what is the position of Pakistan in the next five years, in the next 50 years.
03:44 I am an ignorant person like a fool to decide that Nawaz Sharif's government was good,
03:49 Imran Khan's was bad, Musharraf's was good.
03:51 All this is nonsense. You see where Pakistan is going.
03:54 And I just want to tell Mr. Asad that when you went to the IMF, we went there out of helplessness.
04:00 And we went there out of helplessness because our financial position was not good.
04:04 I never said that we were going to default.
04:07 And when I said this in 2021, that time Imran Khan's government was there.
04:12 And I was considered as an affiliate of Imran Khan's party.
04:15 I said this.
04:17 Mr. Shabaz, tell me that the kind of mafias present here, the way you were talking,
04:23 talking about the tobacco industry, talking about agriculture, talking about the lobby.
04:27 This is reality. This is not a talk, this is reality.
04:30 Exactly, I have to ask my question.
04:32 When all these are present, you see that where the salary class gave tax of Rs. 264 billion last year,
04:38 and on the other hand, the tax of retailers and exporters is in front of you.
04:42 The information is in front of you.
04:44 You were discussing in the program.
04:46 So in this case, how can the tax system be improved while these mafias are there?
04:52 Or should this salary class make its own lobby, make its own nexus, do something?
04:58 Listen to me.
05:00 Listen to me.
05:02 In the 75 years of Pakistan's history, who had messed with the retailer except me?
05:08 The retailer misbehaved with me physically, beat me up in the Governor's house.
05:12 I was mad.
05:14 Now what does Miftah Ismail say?
05:16 Ask Miftah Ismail what he said on TV yesterday.
05:18 That Shabaz Sahib was right about the retailer.
05:20 Come on, be brave.
05:22 You are sitting in the media, others are sitting there.
05:24 Come on the streets and tell us.
05:26 I said on the record that the tax of Lalu Khed is more than Lahore.
05:30 Come on, someone like Michael Lal, deny me that I am wrong.
05:33 Why don't you say that the tax of Lahaore is more than Lahore?
05:36 Then I said this, I am brave.
05:39 So I said this, you have the courage to say this.
05:42 Have you ever said this?
