00:00Who is your biggest political opponent?
00:03It is clear that Tariq-e-Insaaf and People's Party are with PMLN.
00:07Who do you think is your biggest political opponent?
00:10Our opponent is the system.
00:12And those who are supporting this system,
00:15those who are running this system,
00:17the system in which you double the tax of a person with a job worth Rs 50,000,
00:22tax on milk,
00:23but you keep Rs 30 crores to buy new cars for the presidency,
00:27you keep Rs 600 crores, Rs 500 crores for MNS and MPS projects.
00:31Our fight is with that system.
00:33Who is its face?
00:34The political face that you will go and tell people that this is your responsibility.
00:39In the last three years, all the parties have been in power.
00:42And you tell me, weren't you disheartened
00:45that in the same budget in which you taxed the milk of children,
00:49now they are increasing the expenses.
00:52And you tell me, which party, which politician has spoken about the people
00:57except Shahid Abbasi and me?
00:59People's Party has also not spoken.
01:01If People's Party has negotiated with Muslim League, then what is the point?
01:04Neither has PTI spoken.
01:05They are busy in their own fights.
01:07So we are talking about the people.
01:09So we are talking about the people.
01:10We have nothing to do with anyone.
01:12We have no disagreement with anyone.
01:13In the sense that we have no war with anyone.
01:15These are our political opponents, not our enemies.
01:17So now, for example, immediately, Mr. Shahbaz's government,
01:19Mr. Shahbaz, he has done all this.
01:21So he will be your political opponent first.
01:23Or Mr. Nawaz Sharif will also be.
01:25Because obviously, he is on that whole system.
01:27Look, we are saying that these are not the priorities of Pakistan,
01:31which I said today, that it has become a predatory state.
01:34It has become a predatory state,
01:36to the extent that people are considered a victim.
01:38That you take tax from this, take tax from that.
01:40But there will be no mercy on our expenses.
01:44We will distribute food in the provinces,
01:46so that they make empty ghost schools,
01:48make canal planning in Jood,
01:50do show projects.
01:52Such institutions, such countries,
01:54such states cannot move forward.
01:56You have become a victim of poverty.
01:58Apart from Afghanistan, you have been left behind
02:00from every country in South Asia.
02:02May God open your eyes and get up.
02:04So our fight is with this system,
02:06which has pushed Pakistan's people,
02:0810 crore people, into poverty.
02:10You have also said this from Ashrafiya.
02:12Okay, you yourself are a part of Ashrafiya.
02:14Absolutely.
02:15You are also there, Mr. Shahid is also there.
02:16So why should we believe you?
02:18You are a beneficiary, you are a stakeholder.
02:20In the past, you were the advisor,
02:22you were the minister, Mr. Shahid was the Prime Minister.
02:24Many times he was in the power corridor.
02:26What did you do?
02:28One request is that if me and Mr. Shahid
02:30are in possession of some resources,
02:32then we are with the money trail.
02:34This is right.
02:36You are the highest tax payer.
02:38Mr. Shahid was the highest tax payer,
02:40I also pay a little tax.
02:42Being rich is not a crime, but stealing is a crime.
02:44Mifta Ismail's business,
02:46the whole of Pakistan knows what he sells.
02:48My goods are sold at every shop.
02:50So the thing is that we are not like anyone else.
02:52We have not taken any bribes.
02:54And I don't go around saying
02:56that I didn't take a salary.
02:58Whether I take a salary or not,
03:00it won't make a difference to me
03:02or the state of Pakistan.
03:04If I make wrong decisions,
03:06it will make a difference.
03:08I had put a tax on shopkeepers.
03:10I had talked about tax on property for the first time.
03:12I talked about 1% elite 5 years ago
03:14in a speech in Islamabad,
03:16in a TED talk.
03:18This is an elite republic.
03:20Half of the judges come from HSN schools.
03:22All the presidents come from Karachi Grammar School.
03:24How can this work?
03:26But this worked.
03:28Mr. Shahid, as a Prime Minister,
03:30you as a Finance Minister,
03:32there was a small window before the elections.
03:34You had a working team.
03:36What reforms happened?
03:38I was a minister for 5 months.
03:40I did one thing.
03:42I increased the tax on the elite class.
03:44Maximum tax was 15%.
03:46Minimum tax was 5%.
03:48Intermediate tax was 10%.
03:50I thought that I would increase
03:52the compliance of the elite class
03:54and business individuals
03:56if I reduced their tax rate.
03:58Today, 49.5% tax is imposed
04:00on business individuals.
04:02Does this state give you
04:04something to take half your salary?
04:06Our social contract,
04:08it cannot be one way.
04:10You have to pay tax on tax.
04:12You have to pay tax on milk,
04:14you have to pay tax on pencils.
04:16It takes 40% of the salary
04:18of the elite class.
04:20What do you get?
04:22Can you file an FIR in the police?
04:24Is there anyone in Pakistan
04:26who comes to pick up garbage from your house?
04:28Do you get any protection?
04:30Do you know the women
04:32who are walking on the streets?
04:34It is true that we are all
04:36poor people.
04:38In a way,
04:40this means that you cannot
04:42take tax.
04:44You have to give incentives
04:46for those who have black money.
04:48You have to show it in books.
04:50You have to make the money white.
04:52In Pakistan,
04:54there were two major ways
04:56that made money black
04:58and people used to evade taxes.
05:00One was to get
05:02unlimited remittances.
05:04We have closed this path in the budget.
05:10If you bring the money out of Pakistan,
05:13you will have to answer the tax authority in Pakistan.
05:16We don't want to stop it with small remittances.
05:18But 3%, you had to give 3-5%.
05:20No, but we had to give very little.
05:22One time, when you went there, tax was stolen.
05:25You used to earn money, send it out and bring it back.
05:28We stopped the theft of that tax.
05:30And the second theft in Pakistan is on the basis of income.
05:33You show your income, but your income is not that much.
05:36And they save the tax.
05:37That is a constitutional part.
05:39And that too, Abbasi and I,
05:41have been talking about it since 2016-2017.
05:44Talk about the NFC award again.
05:46Talk about the NFC award.
05:47Talk about local governments.
05:49Until the local government is not empowered, it will not happen.
05:52And what will we talk about today?
05:54How many children go to school?
05:55Think about it.
05:56In the world, our children are the most out of school.
05:58There is a fear at night that when these children grow up,
06:00they will become part of this society.
06:01They will become part of this society.
