00:00This debate is about IPPs, because when we give capacity payments to IPPs, electricity becomes expensive.
00:08When electricity becomes expensive, then you have to take the budget bill from the public in some form or the other.
00:15There is a news published in Don newspaper today, that IPPs have taken advantage of 12 crore rupees tax cut from 1990 till now.
00:28Decisions were made on the policy making level.
00:30First IPP policy was made in 1994, then in 1998, then in 2013 and onward this whole thing went on.
00:36According to this news, IPPs have received more than 12 crore rupees tax cut from 1990 till 2023-2024.
00:47This amount is 12,000 crore rupees.
00:49In Ramamalli year, IPPs are getting 21 crore rupees tax cut.
00:56This amount is more than the capacity charges.
00:59According to the government, IPPs are owned by 40 affluent families.
01:05These families have direct or indirect control over these IPPs.
01:09Last day, the government said that 80% of the shares are under the control of the government.
01:16The government can do a lot on this.
01:18I don't know why the Sindh government is giving a severe reaction to this politics.
01:26They are under pressure or they want to do politics on this.
01:30Yesterday, Mr. Bilawal also commented on this.
01:32The real problem is with IPPs.
01:34Till this is not solved, they will do it for 2-3 months.
01:40Eventually, this money will go to the Punjab, Sindh, KP and Balochistan governments.
01:49The money will go to these 40 families and IPPs owners.
01:53Till this is not solved, they will keep on fighting.
01:59As I told you yesterday, this is just the beginning.
02:01As I told you earlier, the federal government, army chief and ISI are involved in this.
02:08Negotiations are going on with the IPPs.
02:11Their tariffs will also be reduced.
02:13The Prime Minister will give us the good news soon.
02:16Negotiations have advanced to a great extent.
02:20Mr. Abbas Lagari is talking to me.
02:22Let's support what you are saying.
02:26We have to stay within the contracts and convince the IPPs to go for betterment for our country.
02:32You will be happy to hear that the work on the IPPs has never been done in the history of Pakistan.
02:40In the next 1-2 months, the government of Mr. Shahbaz Sharif will give such good news on the IPPs
02:49that the government of Pakistan, the people of Pakistan and the businessmen will be in a win-win situation.
02:56The task force has been formed.
02:58All the intelligence agencies that we need are working together.
03:04The IPPs will give you the results in the next few months.
03:09He is saying that there will be a win-win situation for everyone.
03:11We are doing this with our own hands.
03:13There will be a plan for at least 5 years.
03:16Basically, the things that are being worked on in terms of energy.
03:21As I said yesterday, the Prime Minister, Army Chief and DGSI are all involved in this.
03:28The Ministry of Energy is also involved in this.
03:33As far as Sindh is concerned, the other Jamaats of Sindh are a cry for ghost employees.
03:45If they say that there are many such teachers who have been admitted there,
03:50there are ghost employees in many such government offices.
03:53If they save their employees from there,
03:56if they want to give relief to the public, they can.
03:58It is very easy to talk about this.
04:00But practically, you are saying that you have given relief for 2 months.
04:04What will you do after that? What next?
04:06I think the duration of the summer is only 2 months.
04:08After 2 months, the heat will not be so much and our consumption will be greatly reduced.
04:13But the electricity units will remain expensive.
04:16Yes, but your consumption will be reduced.
04:19It affects your pocket.
04:21Yes, it affects your pocket.
04:23But what is the plan after 2 months?
04:26There is a plan after 2 months.
04:28The plan is that after electricity, people will be given relief in gas.
04:33The usage of gas will increase.
04:37So, the people of Punjab will be subsidized in gas bills.
04:41And this plan is basically to give relief to the public.
04:45They have to spend their month.
04:47In that month, their budget can be given to the public in some way.
04:51The focus is the same.
04:53Earlier, there was roti.
04:55The price of roti and wheat was reduced.
04:57We also criticized openly.
04:59But today, at least people have managed it.
05:01And at this time, people are getting roti cheaper in Punjab than in other provinces.
05:07Secondly, I am a former myself.
05:11I am responsible for this.
05:13If this is wrong, then it is wrong.
05:15Apart from this, the plan of subsidies will not be given in gas.
05:20Apart from this, the women who are doing empowerment in Punjab.
05:24We will talk about this.
05:26There are 4-5 women from the Punjab government.
05:28They tell us about it every day.
05:30We will talk about it.
05:32You are taking permission from the Punjab government of Sindh.
05:36If there is quality in Sindh, we should also praise Sindh.
05:38The work that is being done in Sindh is being done in the health sector.
05:42The work that is being done in the health sector is visible.
05:46Viewers, let's take you back to the past.
05:49I came across my own story.
05:52This is the case of June 2005.
05:54You know that Pakistan's PTCL was in profit at that time.
05:58It was sold in the era of General Musharraf.
06:01Coincidentally, Mr. Awais Lagari, who is negotiating with the IPPs,
06:07was the IT minister at that time.
06:09First, see the news that was published in the Arab News.
06:14We sold the PTCL to Ait-e-Salat.
06:18Let me show you another story from today's date.
06:22I did this in 2014.
06:24Mr. Naqvi, you can see this.
06:27This is my story from 2014.
06:29At that time, I used to work in a newspaper in England.
06:32Two more governments have gone after that.
06:35Rather, three more have gone.
06:37We have $800 million with us.
06:40We didn't get it back.
06:42Mr. Lagari was the minister at that time.
06:44May Allah give us this news.
06:46This is very good news.
06:48We will make good agreements with the IPPs.
