"Agar PPP ki Hukumat Hoti to Sasti Bili kay liye kaam Kartay..." Hassan Murtaza's Statement
Transcript
00:00This is for sure that we will have to come towards renewable energy. There is no other way.
00:05And all three have consensus on this. Even Mr. Jagda has consensus on this.
00:09But the parties that are in all the manifestos, including the Pakistan People's Party,
00:16were saying that we will make electricity cheaper.
00:18If you look at the on-ground situation and this claim,
00:23how is it possible that you will be able to give relief to a common person or a commercial person
00:30on the basis of electricity?
00:32Will you be able to make the prices cheaper?
00:34Did you have to go to the IMF? Did everyone know this then?
00:37Look, there are a lot of things.
00:41The People's Party is not running today.
00:44I did not say that the People's Party did not talk about cheap electricity.
00:48It was a part of our manifesto.
00:50And I am still saying that the Pakistan People's Party is giving the cheapest electricity to the national grid in its province.
00:58I am not saying that it is not giving.
01:00And if the People's Party had come to power, it would have certainly worked on it.
01:06What would it have done? How would it have made it possible?
01:10Look, listen to me.
01:12The solar panel that is being talked about today,
01:16the People's Party has started giving it in Sindh, where the People's Party governs.
01:21So we are doing a lot of things with our own NFC.
01:26By the way, Mr. Hassan, if you have a solution, do not keep it in a box.
01:32Because you are not part of the cabinet, there is no doubt about it.
01:35But you are supporting the government.
01:37So if the government can somehow give relief to the people,
01:39and you have a way, then please come forward and tell them.
01:43Anika, if Allah wills it, I will come to Islamabad.
01:46Then I will discuss with you and definitely tell the government.
01:49I don't want a go-ahead from you, Mr. Hassan.
01:51The government should not consider it so weak that they do not know.
01:56They know everything and are putting all their efforts.
02:00No one wants to become so unpopular in three months that people are after it and they are not listening to people.
02:09The Prime Minister has been in this country three or four times.
02:13He has all these things and programs.
02:16Give them some time.
02:18Inshallah, Allah wills it, the government will definitely do something.
02:22They have come to your defense, Mr. Hassan Murtaza.
02:25Give them some time, give them some courage.
02:27The government will do something or the other.
02:29But also answer the allegations and questions of Mr. Jagda.
02:34Secondly, please tell me that this agreement was signed in 1994.
02:38In 1997, its implementation started.
02:42In that era, Mr. Imran Khan's reputation was not more than one seat in politics.
02:48So, you cannot blame Mr. Khan for that.
02:51You are talking about IPPs.
02:53IPPs.
02:54IPPs were signed in 1994.
02:56When an agreement is signed, it is the same thing.
02:58You are a sovereign nation.
03:00You cannot say that we do not agree later.
03:02The government changed.
03:03There is no doubt about that.
03:05It did not happen only at that time.
03:07In 2002.
03:08Mr. Musharraf did a great job in making it more dangerous.
03:12He carried it forward.
03:13He did not carry it forward.
03:14He has made a lot of efforts in that.
03:16Now, you are talking about THERCOL.
03:20You are right about THERCOL.
03:22It produces 3,500 megawatts of electricity.
03:24But THERCOL's project was under CPEC.
03:28And PMLN's government and Sindh government did it together.
03:31Because a project bigger than 100 megawatts cannot be implemented by the provincial government.
03:37The federal government does all the work.
03:40As far as the issue of solar is concerned.
03:43If solar is installed, who will buy it from the government?
03:46The thing is that solar is used only during the day.
03:49You need electricity even at night.
03:51You have to buy it from the grid.
03:56It is true that solar has become very cheap now.
04:00Earlier, it was not so cheap.
04:02Now, it has become very cheap.
04:03Even if people install it, they will buy it from the grid.
04:07The amount of solar radiation that has happened in the past year.
04:10We are told that it has been destroyed.
04:138,000 megawatts of solar panels have been imported in Pakistan in a year.
04:22Our total capacity of 75 years is about 35,000 megawatts.
04:298,000 megawatts have been added to it in the past year.
04:32This has happened due to the good policies of the government,
04:35the end of import duties, sales duties and many other things.
04:39And as far as they are saying that we have installed the solar projects wrongly.
04:43You can say on social media that we have built 300 dams,
04:49installed 50,000 megawatt factories.
04:51Your people will believe it and do it.
04:54But there is no need to do it on the ground.
04:57Tell me, you have been in Pakhtunkhawam for 11 years.
05:01Count three things that you have done right in Pakhtunkhawam.
05:05Three.
05:06You have not done anything.
05:08You have destroyed the whole province.
05:10The provincial government has been fined 1,000 billion rupees.
05:14And there is no project to be shown.
05:16The 350 dams that they said are not to be shown.
05:18Tell me, in which lane, in which river have you built them?
05:22No one has been told about it.
05:23I have to ask Mr. Agra.
05:24The fact is that your people have also rejected the rule of law.
05:30Okay, clear one thing for me before I get an answer.
05:33Are there any more tests for the people?
05:36Will the electricity bills increase?
05:38Your face is already scaring me.
05:41Why are you giving heart attacks?
05:43I will tell you one thing.
05:45These problems will take 2 to 3 years.
05:47How much more will the bill increase?
05:49I think if we keep the rupee stable
05:53and the country is stable, then maybe the bill will not increase.
05:55But if you make fun of it, then of course it will increase.
05:58No, no, I don't believe your statement.
06:00After the face you have made, I think it will increase.
06:02I am telling you the truth.
06:04Will it increase in electricity bills?
06:06No, if the rupee remains stable
06:08and the good policies of the government come,
06:11then the stability of the country will increase.
06:13Then stop the dollars going to the western border.
06:16I am not taking out the stability on the western border.
06:19No, but you are the federal government.
06:21I am taking out the government.
06:23Are you saying that you are not the federal government?
06:25We are the federal government, but the people sitting there are not.
06:28No, no, you cannot do anything there.
06:30Mr. Jagda, show him 300 dams.
06:35First, let me clarify this.
06:37In the end, you asked this.
06:39This is the federal government.
06:41But I think this is the federal government of Bahadur Shah Zafar.
06:45If you want to count the work, then we can count a lot.
06:50I will encapsulate this in 2022.
06:54He has a very close civil servant in Punjab.
06:57He is still working there.
06:59He told me that when we gave the budget for 2022,
07:03the first thing Punjab was looking at was Khayber Pakhtunkhwa,
07:07the innovation that was happening there.
07:10So let's look at three things.
07:12The reform that came in education,
07:14the teachers who came on merit,
07:17Earlier, in Khayber Pakhtunkhwa,
07:20health care was not available outside Peshawar.
07:23Doctors reached far and wide.
07:26But the local government system went to every village.
07:31But look at two or three big things.
07:34One is that the universal health insurance that came,
07:38that was universal health insurance,
07:41which not only gave 4 crore people,
07:44but also gave 13 crore people in Punjab.
07:47He only did this,
07:49that the one who had headed Dr. Yasmeen Rashid in Punjab,
07:52he was not only forcibly defeated by Nawaz Sharif on form 47,
07:57he has been put in jail till today.
08:00And he tried to close it for two years,
08:03that it is such a popular program.
08:06But also tell us about the 300 annams, Mr. Jagra.
08:09When he comes here, he comes to get treatment.
08:12Let's go. This is a long debate.
