00:00What is the magic of the tax base that you are talking about?
00:04We have seen the indicators of the government.
00:08You have been able to collect 10-15 lakhs from the tax.
00:13You had to take tax from the traders.
00:15What was your target?
00:17What have you collected?
00:19Do you think that Pakistan will get some cushion before the next meeting?
00:28Maria, it is important to understand that there were some mistakes in the traders scheme.
00:40But the scheme was not that bad.
00:42If the government sincerely wanted to implement the scheme, it could have been done.
00:46The traders were right and some changes were necessary.
00:51But the government got scared and basically ended the scheme.
00:54When they said that you can pay 100 rupees, the scheme ended.
00:57Similarly, when the government had promised the IMF that they will do agriculture tax and the provinces had promised,
01:03they had absolutely promised.
01:05But they had no intention at that time and we were saying that they will not do it on 1st January.
01:10Now that the IMF has come, they have suddenly passed a bill.
01:12But I am assuring you that they have no intention of collecting agriculture tax or property tax in the provinces.
01:19And you are giving so much money to the provinces that until you see the NFC award, you will not be able to fix it.
01:25And this government did not even talk about the NFC award.
01:28They did not even make a commission to start a conversation.
01:30Then they said that we will make a national finance pact and some expenses will be transferred to the provinces.
01:36No progress has been made on that.
01:38They said that we will reform the pension.
01:40There was no progress.
01:42So the truth is that this government does not want to reform.
01:45The only priority of this government is to remain in power.
01:49All the laws that have been passed, all the amendments to the constitution have been passed.
01:54They have only one purpose, that our government should remain in power.
01:57And sir, the ones who are giving financial relief, who are increasing the salaries,
02:00who are giving incentives, who are giving cars, who are giving all these perks.
02:03Before leaving, there was only one bid for PIA.
02:06You said that the PIA bid was not appropriate.
02:11You liked it, but the government has now rejected that too.
02:14So where is this privatization process right now?
02:17Where will you find a new buyer?
02:19Do you think anyone will buy PIA after this fiasco?
02:22Look, Maria, I have said this time and again that this was not a single bid.
02:28This was a fierce battle.
02:30This was a forced bid so that all the serious buyers would not leave.
02:33Because all the serious buyers had left.
02:35This was in their friendship.
02:37The poor guy collected 50 crores one day, made a bid of 10 rupees and took the money back.
02:41There was no seriousness in this.
02:43This was just Mr. Dar's cleverness.
02:45As far as you are talking about buying cars,
02:49the government had said that the nation should make a sacrifice.
02:53The government made a sacrifice to the nation.
02:55The government never said that the government will make a sacrifice.
02:58So, the Prime Minister increased the net expenses by 22% and increased the ADP by 64%.
03:03After that, you gave 600 to 700 billion rupees to MNAs and MPAs in the budget of Wafaq and Suba,
03:11so that they can spend it.
03:12So, no sacrifice was seen.
03:14Then you saw that some time ago, the Sindh government bought 150 to 200 cars for its ACs.
03:19After that, the Punjab government bought 70 cars.
03:23The 2x2 cars were bought.
03:25So, now Wafaq has bought about 100 cars, I think.
03:29So, the sacrifice has to be given to you and me.
03:32It has to be given to the taxpayer.
03:33When you go to buy milk, 18% tax is taken.
03:36When you go to buy children's clothes, 18% tax is given.
03:39When you take salary, 40% tax is given.
03:42When you go to a doctor, architect, lawyer, or a private business individual, 50% tax is given.
03:47Everything has to be taxed.
03:48That's absolutely right.
03:49Thank you very much.
03:50But your tax is not benefiting the country.
03:53This is what hurts me.
03:55Thank you very much, Mr. Iftar Ismail.
03:57He has been with us since the beginning of the program.
03:59He says that the IMF has still not mentioned bringing a mini-budget.
04:02This is only till December.
04:04After that, we will see the indicators.
04:06And then there is a possibility that another budget will have to be brought.
