Transcript
00:00 What are you trying to achieve out of it?
00:02 You have created a consensus and now you are in the second phase of the fight.
00:06 I am asking a question. I am not talking about the people.
00:08 You are talking about the people.
00:10 The thing is that whoever comes to power, they will have to go to the MF.
00:15 And then the budget is coming.
00:17 The government should not take any difficult decisions.
00:19 Our input will definitely be with the government.
00:22 But if you say that if you have this commitment that you have to take difficult decisions for a year and a half
00:28 and then you can run the country on a right path, because you have to fix the situation.
00:34 You cannot run the country on a dog.
00:37 So if you have a hope that you can run the country on a right path after a year and a half,
00:40 then I think that the government will have to take difficult decisions.
00:43 It is not an easy thing.
00:45 So you are doing what you were famous for, 300 units free, and facilities for the people.
00:50 If you had given us the ministerial position, then we would have done that 300 units.
00:54 Who are you?
00:55 I am talking about the people. You are the people.
00:59 Okay.
01:00 I am from Khawa.
01:01 No, I am just asking.
01:02 We had a 10 point Manchur.
01:05 If our party's prime minister had come, we would have definitely acted on that Manchur.
01:09 Now, because the majority party is PMLN, he is on the driving seat, he has his own Manchur, we will act on that.
01:15 We will try to implement the Manchur in the provinces where we can.
01:19 Like we have already implemented the farmer's card in Sindh.
01:22 We will try to implement the Manchur in Balochistan and Sindh, which are related to the provinces.
01:28 Fair enough.
01:29 I will come to you later, because you are the opposition, you will get the chance.
01:33 But Senator Afnan, you had also made an announcement, but you did not make Manchur a part of it.
01:39 You remember the 200 unit announcement, which was made by Mariam Nawaz,
01:41 but you did not make Manchur a part of it.
01:43 You said that this cannot happen before.
01:45 You had already given up before coming to the government, that this seems difficult.
01:49 There is some negotiation, some method, it is a difficult decision,
01:53 but it will not be difficult for you, for Kundi sir, for Atif Khan sir,
01:57 it will be difficult for me and the people behind the camera.
02:00 Look, Mariam Nawaz Sahiba has announced that we are bringing a scheme of solar-based tube wells,
02:08 under which the farmers…
02:09 I am sorry, that is the CMI of Punjab, you are the government of Wafaaq.
02:12 Punjab is also a part of Pakistan, from outside.
02:15 Yes, but still.
02:16 But…
02:17 What will be left?
02:18 No, some things are already there, the provincial subjects.
02:21 You do not have to deal with them in federal.
02:24 In federal, it is possible that you, like, the taxes and levies have been completely abolished on solar,
02:29 so that it is encouraged, the import industry should move towards solar,
02:33 and the rest of the households should also go towards solar.
02:36 Now, the cheap solar available in Pakistan is very less in the world,
02:40 because all the taxes have been abolished after that.
02:42 What will happen to the capacity surcharge?
02:44 What is the relation of capacity surcharge with solar?
02:46 No, capacity surcharge, you remember, in the middle, when there was an interim government,
02:50 I attended that briefing, in which this thing was coming from somewhere,
02:54 that maybe the capacity surcharge has to be given, so that solar will not be encouraged so much.
02:57 So, you have shifted that policy entirely, right?
02:59 But that is that, because if we go more on solar, then people will not consume,
03:03 so capacity payments will have to be made.
03:04 The government will have to do all this.
03:06 But if your economy is growing and your demand is increasing anyway,
03:11 then solar should also come, so it is not a bad idea.
03:14 So, keeping that in mind, we are taking such matters to many places,
03:20 which will give relief to the public.
03:21 Today, the 20 kg flour, which is Rs 100, has also been reduced by Marim Nawaz.
03:26 I am also waiting for the announcement of the Prime Minister.
03:30 What do you have to say about that?
03:32 That will be in the coming days.
03:34 One thing, one very interesting thing, today the Cabinet Committee has been formed,
03:37 on one hand, Mr. Ishaq Daa was taken up by the Finance Committee and put on the Foreign Office.
03:43 Now, you should take some rest, you have done a lot of work.
03:46 On the other hand, the head of the Privatisation Committee has been made,
03:49 he has been made the head.
03:50 What is going on?
03:51 I mean, Mr. Warren Zeig will be allowed to work, Mr. Alim Khan will be allowed to work,
03:54 or is there actually a person behind who is Mr. Dar, but IMF does not like him,
03:57 so he has been put aside.
03:59 See, privatisation is a separate issue, economy is a separate issue.
04:03 Very closely related to IIM.
04:05 Of course, it is. I am not saying this, but the matters of your economy,
04:08 inflation, growth, foreign debt, all the indicators at the macro level,
04:14 that will be dealt by Mr. Mohammad Aurangzeb.
04:17 Today, the Prime Minister has also announced the Economic Coordination Committee.
04:21 The issue of privatisation is that we have to sell off the government organisations
04:27 that are already defunct or almost defaulted,
04:32 so that we can save the 400-500 rupees that we are eating every year.
04:37 We will work very fast on that.
04:38 You mean that no one can work fast except Mr. Dar?
04:41 No, Mr. Dar is a very efficient person.
04:44 There is only one person who has successfully completed the IMF programme in Pakistan,
04:48 his name is Mr. Ishaq Dar, he is the son of Mr. Mian Nawaz Sharif.
04:51 He also said that how can the IMF dictate to us, who are they to dictate?
04:56 You remember this, right?
04:57 No, after that we got the invitations from the IMF.
05:00 Did Mr. Shahbaz go?
05:01 No.
05:02 Did you go personally?
05:03 We did get the invitations, or did we not?
05:04 It was Mr. Shahbaz, right?
05:05 No, you remember who completed the IMF programme, right?
05:08 You should take credit for that.
05:09 I am saying that no one did this, if you say that I am wrong.
