00:00Shahid Haqan Abbasi is saying that the bidding process should be fair.

00:04I was listening to his answer.

00:06He was talking at some place.

00:07Mr. Vaiz Lagari, the current minister of electricity,

00:10he is saying that there is a lot of propaganda on social media.

00:14They are doing all this for cheap publicity.

00:17But what Mr. Naqvi has said, Mr. Gohar Ejaz,

00:21the total 80% of IPPs have 52% government ownership,

00:30and the remaining 28% are Pakistani citizens.

00:34So 80% are Pakistani citizens.

00:37Government of Pakistan and private Pakistani citizens.

00:41So if you want to bid,

00:44talk to these people.

00:46Review all the contacts you have made with them.

00:50And Khudara, the capacity payment,

00:53I was watching a tweet by Khawaja Asif,

00:55they are accepting that the capacity payment charges are Rs. 35 per unit.

01:02And it is very important that we have to renegotiate.

01:06And we should do it.

01:07So who is going to do it?

01:09Let's make another narrative that

01:13I don't know who is behind this,

01:15third, fourth, fifth, put it on someone.

01:17That everything is happening because of them.

01:19The government has been around for two years.

01:21The Prime Minister of PDM was also here.

01:23He is still the Prime Minister.

01:24So who is going to do this?

01:26First of all, tell me,

01:27you said in your question that we should make a narrative

01:29and put it on someone.

01:31What do you mean by this so that I can answer?

01:33Sir, the narrative is being made that

01:36these are sovereign guarantees.

01:38No, what other narratives are you relating to

01:40that it should be put on someone?

01:42Sir, I am telling you the narrative.

01:44Look, I am telling you this.

01:46For example, what is the other one?

01:48The other one is that all the problems in Pakistan,

01:50all the problems that are happening in Pakistan,

01:52our internal affairs,

01:54we say that it is not our fault.

01:56Someone else has done it.

01:57For example, let me tell you.

01:59Some people say that this CPEC is not a good project.

02:03We have done all the projects ourselves.

02:05This investment, whatever it is,

02:07all these IPPs,

02:09all the agreements that we have made ourselves,

02:12we also have them.

02:14So who is going to do it?

02:15We have to do it in our country.

02:17Khawar bhai, you have said a very powerful thing.

02:19Before this, we were doing a story

02:21about Operation Azam-e-Istaqam.

02:23So basically, your answer

02:25clarifies the need for Operation Azam-e-Istaqam.

02:29How important is it that such an operation

02:31should take place in this country

02:33where such mafias,

02:34whether they are IPP-related mafias,

02:36whether you have talked about CPEC

02:38and about Zahir-e-Tashar,

02:40all those mafias should be eliminated.

02:42So your answer is very good.

02:44First of all, Operation Azam-e-Istaqam

02:46requires a lot of effort.

02:48Secondly, we have been raising the issue

02:50of capacity payment for a long time.

02:52And it is very important to end it.

02:56It is a white-collar crime.

02:58It is being done by those people

03:00who are claiming that

03:02we are making this country.

03:04Whether they are businessmen or politicians.

03:06And this story will look more complete then.

03:09We can do it tomorrow.

03:11We are not going to name these IPPs.

03:13We are going to name their owners.

03:15We are going to name Razaq Daud,

03:17who was a minister in Imran Khan's cabinet

03:19for 4 years.

03:20We are going to name Azam Sawasi,

03:22who was a minister in Imran Khan's cabinet.

03:24We are going to name all those people

03:26who are sitting in the government right now,

03:28who were sitting in the government before

03:30and who are the owners of these IPPs.

03:32And they are taking this money

03:34from Pakistan's treasury to their homes.

03:36Yes.

03:37Okay, you have all the information.

03:39Tell us a little about all these stories.

03:41We don't have all the information.

03:43That's why I said that tomorrow

03:45we are going to name all these people.

03:47No, no, you have already named a few people.

03:49You must have some idea.

03:51Do you have any idea about

03:53the contacts of these IPPs

03:55during which government?

03:57This happened in 1994,

03:59this happened in 2002,

04:01and this happened in 2015.

04:03Now, the government should know

04:05who is responsible for this.

04:07Okay, that's good.

04:09You have seen that we have repeatedly

04:11talked about this in the program.

04:13Now, you say that there is no one

04:15more experienced than us.

04:17Mr. Ahsan Iqbal, Mr. Khawaja Asif,

04:19and the rest of the old people.

04:21They say that these are new people.

04:23We have been here for 8 days.

04:25They don't even know about politics.

04:27They don't even know about governance.

04:29Now, all these people who are working,

04:31Mr. Gohar Ejaz is talking.

04:33I would like to hear him again.

04:35He is saying that these people

04:37don't even know about governance.

05:07Mr. Naqvi was talking about the narrative.

05:21Now, you have become experienced

05:23in the old media.

05:25He has mentioned two people

05:27that we should bring the names

05:29of the previous PTI ministers.

05:31So, this is not the work of one party.

05:33I have said this.

05:35Mr. Naqvi, people are listening to you.

05:37In 1994, there was a government

05:39of the Pakistan People's Party.

05:41After that, one policy was forgotten.

05:43Mr. Naqvi, in 1998, the government

05:45of PINIA Malan was still present

05:47before the arrival of General Musharraf.

05:49They had also brought a policy

05:51of private IPP.

05:53Then General Musharraf came.

05:55After that, the real work was put

05:57especially from 2013 onwards.

05:59In 2013, the government of PINIA Malan

06:01brought a policy of private IPP.

06:03In 2013, we had to pay

06:05a capacity payment of Rs. 183 billion.

06:07In 2022,

06:09the capacity payment reached

06:11Rs. 2,024 billion.

06:13This difference has also increased.

06:15Mr. Gulam Sain,

06:17how will we get out of

06:19this capacity payment trap?

06:21If you have the money,

06:23please tell us.

06:25No, I don't have the money.

06:27Why don't you tell me?

06:29I am a big man.

06:31I am a big man.

06:33How can I give Rs. 183 billion

06:35to his son?

06:37No, sir,

06:39we can't talk about that.

06:41You go ahead.

06:43You tell us.

06:45We can't talk about that.

06:47If someone is weak,

06:49you are also weak.

06:51IPP is the most cruel.

06:53It is better

06:55if people live in darkness

06:57and don't get electricity.

06:59When I was born,

07:01there was no electricity

07:03in our village.

07:05Still, I am sitting here

07:07in front of you.

07:09What difference does it make?

07:11First of all,

07:13the government institutions

07:15are clean.

07:17You can get the data

07:19of thousands of people.

07:21Third, the government

07:23is greedy.

07:25They want this and that.

07:27Fourth,

07:29looting is difficult.

07:31A project is given

07:33to an MNA

07:35for Rs. 50 crores

07:37to an MPA for Rs. 100 crores.

07:39They lose half of it on the first day.

07:41Where are we now?

07:43For God's sake,

07:45come to the point.

07:47You have declared looting

07:49as a legitimate act.

07:51This is not

07:53a good way.

07:55I have said this before.

07:57I am coming.

07:59Listen to me.

08:01PTI, Bani, PTI.

08:03Listen to me.

08:05Okay.

08:07Will you complete your point?

08:09No, I have not completed

08:11my point.
