00:00 We are in the Galla Mandi of Pattokhi, which is the state of Punjab where more than 80% of the population is involved in agriculture.
00:10 They have no other means of livelihood.
00:14 This time, the famine that has taken place due to the purchase of wheat has caused a lot of grief in the country.
00:22 It is a pity that when wheat is produced in a small quantity, there is a situation of famine.
00:30 But it is a pity that a country where wheat has been produced in abundance, there is also a situation of famine.
00:42 We will talk to the journalists, farmers, farmers' leaders, and the Aarti.
00:55 We will talk to all the stakeholders about the situation of wheat and how this situation is ending.
01:04 We will also talk about the future crops and how this situation will worsen.
01:12 Let's start with our representative Mukaddar.
01:16 He will explain the situation to us.
01:18 We will also talk to the farmers who are protesting.
01:24 Assalamu Alaikum.
01:26 How are you?
01:28 We have heard that wheat has been produced in a small quantity and there has been a drought.
01:36 This time, thanks to Allah, wheat has been produced in abundance and there is a situation of famine.
01:44 Our country depends on agriculture.
01:49 Our farmers have more than 200 villages in this area.
01:58 More than 80% of the population depends on agriculture.
02:04 Sugar mills have made farmers very poor.
02:09 Farmers have started paying attention to wheat because they have not received money.
02:13 Last time, farmers received a good rate of 4000 rupees.
02:16 Now, wheat has been produced in a large quantity.
02:19 There have been floods, rains, droughts, and farmers have suffered losses.
02:24 Despite this, wheat production has improved.
02:27 The government is not buying wheat even after providing a rate of 3900 rupees.
02:33 Because of this, farmers are very worried.
02:36 When they protest, the police raid their homes.
02:39 If the farmers' leaders come forward and try to protest, they are arrested.
02:44 Our wheat production is not enough.
02:48 We have 4 wheat farms in which we can produce 4000 metric tons of wheat.
02:53 If farmers come to sell wheat in local markets, they are charged 2800, 2700, 2600, and 2900 rupees.
03:00 This is the rate of wheat that they are purchasing locally.
03:03 Farmers are forced to sell their wheat.
03:06 They can't store their wheat.
03:08 If they store their wheat, it will be spoiled.
03:10 The government is buying wheat at an expensive rate.
03:14 The price of wheat is 6,000 rupees.
03:16 The price of DAP is also high.
03:18 Despite this, farmers are not buying wheat.
03:21 The government is buying wheat at a high price.
03:24 Local authorities are asking farmers to buy wheat at a price of 5000 rupees.
03:28 Farmers are asking farmers to buy wheat at a price of 6000 rupees.
03:31 But farmers are not buying wheat at a high price.
03:34 There is no check and balance.
03:37 The government is buying wheat at a high price.
03:40 Peace be upon you.
03:42 Please introduce yourself.
03:44 Shahadat Ali Bhatti, District President, Kisan-e-Tahaj, Kasur.
03:47 I heard that you are under arrest.
03:50 Yes, we are under arrest.
03:51 Our farmers went to Lahore to claim their rights.
03:54 They were arrested and tortured.
03:57 We are peaceful people.
04:00 We are God's people.
04:04 We are being tortured.
04:07 The government is torturing us.
04:12 How did this happen?
04:15 It is a good thing for the country.
04:18 I remember when we used to travel and see the wheat crops,
04:22 it was cloudy and the weather was bad.
04:25 We used to feel that the farmers have worked hard all year.
04:28 We had high hopes.
04:31 But the government is not doing anything.
04:34 The government is not doing anything.
04:37 We are God's people.
04:40 We are thankful to God for the rain.
04:43 We are thankful to God for the rain.
04:46 The reason for this is that the government had 300,000 tons of wheat.
04:53 But the government is saying that the farmers are happy and Pakistan is happy.
04:58 But the government is saying that the farmers are happy and Pakistan is happy.
05:01 Why did the government order 14 ships to export wheat?
05:06 Why did the government order 14 ships to export wheat?
05:09 This year, the wheat crop is 12 lakh acres.
05:14 I want to talk to him.
05:16 I want to talk to him.
05:17 I am the chairman of the farmer association.
05:20 I was told that most of the people here are involved in agriculture.
05:24 I was told that most of the people here are involved in agriculture.
05:26 Tell me about the difficulties of wheat cultivation.
05:32 Tell me about the difficulties of wheat cultivation.
05:34 Tell me about the time a farmer spends, how much he works, how much he spends.
05:38 Tell me about the time a farmer spends, how much he works, how much he spends.
05:43 People say that this wheat crop is 6 months old.
05:48 People say that this wheat crop is 6 months old.
05:49 This is a 7 month crop.
05:51 When we were going to cultivate wheat, we were getting black DAP.
05:55 When we were going to cultivate wheat, we were getting black DAP.
05:57 The farmer was eating DAP.
05:59 We repeatedly requested the administration to increase the control rate.
06:05 We repeatedly requested the administration to increase the control rate.
06:06 After that, we cultivated wheat.
06:08 Then came the time of Urea.
06:10 Urea was at a rate of 34-35.
06:14 We increased the control rate to 5500 rupees.
06:18 We increased the control rate to 5500 rupees.
06:18 We increased the control rate to 5500 rupees.
06:20 We increased the control rate to 5500 rupees.
06:23 By the grace of God, the crop was ready.
06:25 Everyone was happy.
06:27 It was a good crop.
06:28 People have jobs.
06:30 Some people get their children married.
06:31 Some people pay their children's fees.
06:33 Some people send their children out for admission.
06:35 It was a good crop.
06:36 Instead of happiness, all the houses were filled with white tears.
06:39 How long can you keep wheat?
06:42 How long can a farmer store it?
06:44 Is there a way to preserve wheat for a while?
06:49 All farmers do not have storage.
06:53 Farmers can store their wheat here.
06:56 Another problem is that the farmer has to sell the crop and cultivate the next crop.
07:03 The farmer does not have money.
07:05 Every farmer is worried about this.
07:08 Not everyone has storage.
07:10 Some people have it, some people do not.
07:12 We do not know how to survive in our homes.
07:15 How can we store wheat?
07:17 Hello, how are you?
07:19 Rehan Akbar, I am the President of the Farmer's Union.
07:23 You have a legal H.B.
07:26 Do you have any legal option for the farmers?
07:30 Are you protesting?
07:32 First of all, I would like to thank the ARY for the farmers' voice.
07:37 I hope this will be of some benefit to the farmers.
07:39 Secondly, what can we do legally?
07:42 You can see the state of our courts.
07:44 The courts have been used to prosecute the farmers.
07:49 The government has broken the farmer's backbone.
07:59 The government has broken it so that the farmers can sell their crops in November.
08:08 In November, the government announced a rate of Rs. 49.
08:11 In November, they said that they were not able to buy wheat.
08:15 They imported 32 lakh tonnes of wheat.
08:19 The government has also included the minister.
08:25 They also said that the ships will be unloaded in Karachi by March 31.
08:32 When wheat arrives in Sindh in early April,
08:36 when wheat is available in abundance in Pakistan,
08:41 why did they import wheat from there?
08:43 We have heard that they imported wheat worth Rs. 3200
08:50 and sold flour mills worth Rs. 4750.
08:54 They have earned billions of rupees.
08:59 We, the farmers, do not want inflation.
09:02 We want to reduce the output of the wheat if the input is cheap.
09:06 If we sell wheat worth Rs. 4500,
09:09 then our expenses will be fulfilled.
09:14 This is the situation.
09:15 Mr. Shahbaz Sharif used to say that he would sell his clothes to satisfy the hunger of the people.
09:24 He sold his clothes and got them stitched.
09:28 He took off the clothes of the poor farmers.
09:32 Madam Mariam Nawaz is only on TikTok.
09:35 She does not care about the farmers.
09:37 Just make a small announcement that we will buy wheat on a certain date.
09:41 At least, we will get some profit.
09:44 The wheat will be sold at a higher price.
