00:00Ameer-e-Jamaat-e-Islami, Ameer-e-Jamaat-e-Islami's Headquarters,
00:02Mr. Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman, who I am talking to you right now,
00:05even then, he has given a speech on this issue and on other issues.
00:09He has also spoken to the government regarding this issue.
00:11He has also put forward his demands.
00:12What are those demands? You have just heard them in the headline.
00:14I am thankful that Ameer-e-Jamaat-e-Islami, Mr. Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman is with us.
00:18Huzoor, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:21Huzoor-o-Alaikum-as-Salaam.
00:24You are very kind, Mr. Naeem.
00:26Thank you for taking the time.
00:27First of all, quickly tell me,
00:28regarding you and the government,
00:29because your protest is also related to this issue of transmission.
00:33So, when I am talking to you right now,
00:35to what extent has your conversation reached with the government?
00:40See, today is the first meeting.
00:41Yesterday, he came.
00:42So, obviously, we agreed on the fact that
00:45obviously, we will have to talk to the government.
00:48And if we have to resolve the issue,
00:50we will talk to them and give our full stance.
00:53We will give our demands to them.
00:54And if they are serious,
00:56then we will proceed with this protest.
01:00So, the first meeting is being held right now.
01:03It is very clear that
01:04the protest and negotiations will continue.
01:07And our very clear stance is
01:11to reduce the electricity bills
01:13and bring them to the level of electricity costs.
01:17We will not give capacity charges.
01:19The people of Pakistan,
01:20we take your decisions.
01:22This will not work.
01:23This is unlawful.
01:24Obviously, whatever happens in the country in a lawful manner,
01:26obviously, everyone has to do it together.
01:28Did you see any seriousness from the government?
01:30This IPP...
01:31You know, the body language...
01:33Yesterday, when he came...
01:37Yesterday, when he came,
01:38he said, no, we want to do it.
01:40So, at face value,
01:42obviously, we cannot look at anyone's intentions.
01:44However, he did not do the right thing
01:47that he sealed Islamabad from all sides
01:50and arrested our hundreds of workers that day.
01:53And even before that,
01:54we wanted to meet a day or two ago,
01:56and we said that until all our workers are released,
01:59the negotiations will not begin.
02:01So, only 8-10 workers were left until the morning,
02:03and Liaquat Sahib was talking to them
02:05that the negotiations will begin
02:07when everyone will be released.
02:08So, Alhamdulillah,
02:09maximum number of workers will be released.
02:11And you are not marching forward to this date, right?
02:14Because the news also came that
02:15if you are not satisfied today,
02:16then you will go to D-Chowk.
02:17You are not moving forward to this date, right?
02:19No.
02:21Look, if Liaquat Sahib gives us a report,
02:23and his team has to stay for 4 days,
02:25Amirul Azeem Sahib, Farasa Sahib, Nasrullah,
02:28Randhawa Sahib,
02:29they will tell us what the mood of the government is.
02:31If they work with Talam Tuli,
02:33then it is obvious that we will have to make our own strategy.
02:36Today, we have held Jalsa-e-Aam after Maghrib.
02:38And there is a very large number of people.
02:40The protest that has been going on for two days is also very big.
02:42But Inshallah, today it will be even bigger than that.
02:44And yesterday we held Jalsa-e-Aam of Khawatin.
02:46So, Mr. Hafiz, what is your opinion
02:47that those who broke the back of the people
02:49because of the electricity bills,
02:50they are ruined.
02:51And just now I said that
02:52if people think that the worst has happened,
02:55then it is wrong.
02:56The worst is yet to come.
02:57So, what is your opinion
02:59that the issue related to IPPs,
03:00which has been repeated a lot,
03:01people have also understood
03:02that what is the capacity payment,
03:04no one repeats it.
03:05Do you also think
03:06that this is the legal problem in this?
03:07If this problem is solved in some way,
03:09then 60-70-80% of the electricity problem
03:11will be solved in the same way.
03:15Yes, if this is addressed.
03:17Look, there are categories in this too.
03:18There are some such IPPs
03:20who are doing their work properly.
03:22And there are some such IPPs
03:24like Wind, etc.
03:25Some of them are better
03:26whose performance is good
03:28and more electricity can be taken from them
03:30and they do not need capacity charges.
03:33But there are some who are total frauds
03:35that the plant runs on the sugarcane field
03:41and what is written in the agreement
03:43is that imported coal.
03:45There is a difference of land and sky in the rate.
03:47But all those rates
03:48should be paid by the Pakistani people
03:50when they are running at 15%, 20%, 25% capacity.
03:54So, all such IPPs will have to be stopped.
03:56And are the beneficiaries of this
03:57Pakistani people,
03:58people around us,
03:59or people from outside?
04:01Because you have more work on this.
04:0270% are Pakistani.
04:04Yes.
04:0570% are Pakistani IPPs
04:07in which the government is also included.
04:09Government shares are also included in many of them.
04:11Some of the Punjab government,
04:12Sindh government,
04:13and some of the government parties present in the government.
04:16I am surprised
04:17that the parties which have been present in the government
04:19for 30-35 years,
04:21they have also started speaking loudly.
04:23When they will be fixed,
04:24they will all be fixed.
04:26How did the electric mafia get established?
04:28Obviously, MQM, People's Party,
04:30Noon League,
04:31and for 3.5 years, PTI also came.
04:34Which people's power plants, etc.
04:35tell us,
04:36your movement is going on on this.
04:38Who are these people?
04:39On whom you know for sure,
04:41these are the beneficiaries.
04:42No,
04:43no,
04:44I,
04:45there are two things.
04:46One,
04:47I am talking about the government parties.
04:48Yes, yes.
04:49These days, there is a trend,
04:50when there is a protest,
04:51there is a protest,
04:52the workers are beaten up,
04:53the movement is on,
04:54so let us also put on weight.
04:55So, MQM type parties also start jumping,
04:57that our name is also in FIR.
04:58Okay,
04:59the rest is that,
05:00as far as People's Party,
05:01it started in 1994.
05:03Then after that,
05:04Noon League,
05:05it put this whole nation together.
05:07The IPPs of the Sharif family themselves are present.
05:10They themselves are the closest people to them.
05:12They are present.
05:13For example,
05:14there is Manisha Group.
05:15For example,
05:16there is Mr. Radhak Daud.
05:18He was also part of the previous government,
05:20the PTI government.
05:21There is Mr. Nadeem Babar.
05:23For example,
05:24there is Habibullah Group.
05:25For example,
05:26there are a lot of close people like this.
05:29There is a fair list present.
05:31I usually avoid taking the names of individuals.
05:34But the thing is,
05:35these are all beneficiaries.
05:37There are people from the parties in the government
05:40and they suffer.
05:41Yes,
05:42however,
05:43about 23% of the IPPs are from outside China.
05:46And we also believe that China is our friend
05:49and strategic partner.
05:50We should also talk to them.
05:52We should renegotiate.
05:53If Pakistan's economy is destroyed,
05:55then the strategic partner should stand with us.
05:58We will also have to talk to them with dignity.
06:00But if some IPPs are from the government
06:03and the government institutions,
06:05there are a lot of institutions of our army.
06:07Why won't we talk to them?
06:08It is the army of the country.
06:09They are the institutions of the country.
06:11If the government is our ally,
06:13then why should we put the burden on the poor and middle class?
06:16So, renegotiate everyone.
06:17Thank you very much.
06:18And the people with salary,
06:19this is the last thing,
06:20listen to this,
06:21end the slavery of the people with salary.
06:23This is your biggest demand,
06:24it should be yours.
06:25You should be in this category.
06:26In the entire budget transition,
06:27he screamed and his throat dried up.
06:29Thank you very much.
06:30Let's take a break.
