00:00Today, there was a big protest, a big-level protest.
00:05Farmers came out on the streets.
00:07And when the farmers come out on the streets,
00:10then there is a problem of food security, Mr. Khokhar.
00:13When the farmers are not getting their rights,
00:16then there is a problem of next year's crops.
00:19You are making such a big protest.
00:21You have been raising your voice for a long time.
00:23You had to come to a committee.
00:24The findings of that committee have not yet come forward.
00:27How do you see the seriousness of the government?
00:31Is it serious or not?
00:33Thank you very much.
00:35There are two issues.
00:36One is the inquiry issue.
00:37And the second issue is that wheat should be bought from us.
00:40I am a farmer.
00:42My profession is also a farmer.
00:44My hobby is also a farmer.
00:46I have never seen this situation before.
00:48We did not get the rate of cotton.
00:50Then we did not get the rate of corn.
00:51Now we did not get the rate of wheat.
00:53At this time, the largest crop of farmers in Pakistan is wheat.
00:57And the situation is that at this time,
00:59wheat is being sold for Rs. 25, Rs. 26, Rs. 27, Rs. 28.
01:02We do not get so much money on loan.
01:04Now, as you just said,
01:06the next crop of wheat that the farmers will have to export
01:10will be two major crops.
01:12One is cotton and the other is rice.
01:14Your total export, which was $31 billion last year,
01:19had a share of $20 billion in cotton.
01:22And it had a share of $2.5 billion in rice.
01:25If you sit on both these crops,
01:27your export will end.
01:29Then it is that when the time comes for wheat to be sold,
01:32the food security will be at risk.
01:34The farmer will automatically reduce at least 40% of his crop
01:38because he knows that the government is not buying.
01:40The government is going to end this business.
01:43At this time, I cannot express the emotions of the farmers in words.
01:47They are in so much pain.
01:49If that poor man cancels his daughter's wedding,
01:53he can't even get his children treated.
01:55He can't even buy groceries for his small family.
01:58Because when the money for wheat comes, their system works.
02:01Then there are those who take loans sitting at his door.
02:04Because when the wheat comes, he has to pay for the diesel,
02:07for the manure, for the seeds.
02:10He has to pay his workers.
02:12He has to pay the thresher.
02:15He has to pay the harvester.
02:17But at this time, I cannot express the emotions of the farmers in words.
02:22They are in so much pain.
02:24The second reason is that there is no mafia in this country.
02:27Is the mafia not going to rule in this country?
02:29Is the mafia not going to earn?
02:31When the international rate has been doubled for 15-20 years,
02:34at that time, the mafia used to earn by smuggling.
02:37Now, if the international rate has decreased for the first time,
02:40the mafia has imported and earned.
02:42And I have a lot of pain in one thing.
02:45This wheat is coming from Basel, Istanbul.
02:48And it was reaching Karachi in 23-24 hours.
02:52Did the poor man benefit from it?
02:55If today the CM of some cheap wheat is talking,
02:58when the Punjab government is talking,
03:00then that cheap wheat has come from Kashgar wheat.
03:03That importer's wheat has sold its expensive wheat.
03:06When did that profit come in it?
03:08And there was a shareholder in front of you who was sitting in the government.
03:12It was not possible without a shareholder from a government minister.
03:18Because the import cap was terminated.
03:21The limit was terminated.
03:22It was made unlimited.
03:23The limit was not set.
03:24You can stop as much as you want.
03:26You can ask for 31-31 March.
03:29It was cruelty.
03:30Understandable.
03:32Understandable.
03:33I will come back to you.
03:35Mr. Nazari, the government had promised.
03:38There will be an inquiry.
03:39The report that was to come in the inquiry was to come in the beginning of this week.
03:43Where is that report?
03:44Where are those steps?
03:45Where are those steps and the promise to send the criminals to Kaifur-e-Kirdar?
03:51Where is the promise that the wheat will be bought at the price that was promised?
03:56Where is the promise of the government where they said that
03:59we will give support to the farmers.
04:04With support price.
04:05Otherwise, they will also give support.
04:06Where are all those promises?
04:08Look, there are two or three things that are becoming very clear.
04:11There are new revelations that are coming out.
04:13The committee that was made in this regard,
04:17which is the cabinet of the secretary,
04:19which is run by Kamal Nafzal,
04:20the TORs were not given to it completely.
04:23Earlier, the TORs were given to March and April,
04:26the wheat that was imported in 2024,
04:28to investigate that.
04:30But those were very limited TORs.
04:32And it could not have been determined in that
04:34because at that time, there was no need for ECC permission.
04:37The wheat that was reaching Pakistan,
04:39those vessels were on the way.
04:41So, those TORs have now been expanded.
04:44And Kamal Nafzal will go from behind,
04:46that is, the reasons for this,
04:48he will be able to go to the government of Nigran or PDN.
04:51Now it will take time.
04:53Earlier, they were given a time of six months
04:55that they will send it by six months.
04:57But now there is no date in this.
04:59And this committee will continue to run.
05:01It will continue to make its report.
05:02The second thing that we are constantly saying
05:04that when Pakistan goes into the IMF program,
05:06the growth of Pakistan is very much affected.
05:08The easy formula given by the Minister of Treasury
05:10is that you support your farmer.
05:12And your major five crops are wheat, maize, rice, cotton and sugarcane.
05:20These are your major crops that will support your growth a lot.
05:24As soon as we reduce the price of wheat,
05:26if we say that there are 30 million tonnes of wheat in the country,
05:30then its amount becomes approximately Rs. 3,000 billion.
05:33If you keep reducing its price,
05:35then your GDP size can be reduced by Rs. 600 to 700 billion.
05:39This will affect our growth.
05:42Secondly, it will greatly affect our poverty level.
05:47Thirdly, the biggest solution to this,
05:49which is constantly being said,
05:50is that if the government starts buying it,
05:52then all these issues will start getting resolved.
05:55Why is the government not buying it, Mr. Nizam?
05:58What are the hurdles?
05:59The government has just decided in the ECC
06:02that approximately 18 lakh tonnes will be bought for it.
06:04But its interest rate will be 22-23%.
06:07The government is spending an additional 41 billion on this.
06:10Before this, the initial 170 billion was spent on this.
06:15And all those issues,
06:16the storage issues,
06:17not being able to buy this much,
06:18and budget issues,
06:20have all been resolved?
06:22No, actually the problem is that
06:24if the government announces that
06:27we will buy it in 10 days,
06:28the Punjab government will buy it in 5 days.
06:30See, what the KP government has announced
06:32at least today,
06:33that the private sector in KP is ready to buy it in Rs.3500.
06:37Mr. Khalid Khokhar is talking about Rs.2200, Rs.2300, Rs.2600.
06:41And where is Rs.3500?
06:42The KP government has announced in their food account
06:46that they have put Rs.14 billion, Rs.30 billion,
06:49that they will start initially.
06:51If this signal is received from Punjab,
06:53then the farmers,
06:54who Mr. Khalid Khokhar was talking about,
06:57they plan for 6 months
06:58that when wheat comes,
06:59they will get their daughters married,
07:00when wheat comes,
07:01they will get their children treated,
07:02when wheat comes,
07:03someone will do business,
07:04when wheat comes,
07:05someone will go out to study,
07:06now when wheat comes,
07:07these people will congress.
07:08All these things will not happen.
07:09Mr. Khokhar, sum up the current situation,
07:15and in your opinion,
07:16at this time,
07:17the responsibility of the government,
07:19according to that,
07:20they should take steps,
07:21sum up that quickly,
07:23because at this time,
07:24the situation is out of our hands.
07:27Thank you very much.
07:28First,
07:29the majority of the farmers,
07:30who are being treated unfairly,
07:31the loyal government,
07:32is purchasing PASCO,
07:33so PASCO is being purchased
07:34only in Punjab,
07:35in the 14 districts,
07:36and in the rest,
07:37there is food.
07:38Now,
07:39a purchase is being made
07:40in the 14 districts,
07:41not in the rest of the districts.
07:42Are they not Pakistanis?
07:43This is the first thing.
07:44The second thing is that
07:45I request the government
07:46to be alert,
07:47and if they do not purchase wheat
07:48from the farmers,
07:49the farmers do not have money,
07:50your next crops will be affected,
07:51and in the future,
07:52food security will be at risk.
