00:00I read in the notes during the break, let me correct one thing,
00:03I told you that the annual expenditure was 28 billion,
00:06it was not the figure of PILDAT, it was of PIDE.
00:09And this PIDE is also a government-funded organization,
00:11so if the government itself is wrong, I don't know,
00:14but this is the figure of PIDE, this is not the figure of PILDAT.
00:18There is a little time left.
00:20Tell me, it seems to me that your politics are only on one issue,
00:25or Mr. Khan inside or Mr. Khan outside,
00:27as these people say now, come on larger issues too.
00:30Look, we are highlighting all those issues.
00:33Look, this is just a program given by IMF,
00:36a fiscal discipline comes with every IMF program.
00:39This is not unique for them.
00:41But who highlighted the problems that came because of it?
00:44PTI is highlighting.
00:45Look, what burden did they put on the salaried class in just 6 months?
00:49A common salaried class has given 100 billion rupees extra.
00:52You also committed to the IMF and put pressure on it.
00:56The prices of fuel were destroyed.
00:58Look, now they have not even passed on, globally prices have gone down.
01:02They have again adjusted in the interest of the levy.
01:05They said that we should take more levy, we will not give relief to the public.
01:08What is the position of your current large-scale manufacturing?
01:11No, I did not point to that.
01:12I said that if someone goes to the IMF program and implements it,
01:15that is also a good thing, appreciate it.
01:17You guys went to the program and put pressure on it,
01:20but the situation has worsened.
01:22Look, we were at a 6% growth rate.
01:24We were not in that problem.
01:25We had set up the economy.
01:27Agriculture was growing in our time.
01:29Today, where is agriculture standing after wheat import?
01:31Look, you just said a very good thing about sugar.
01:33You should ask them.
01:35Look, in UAE, where even sugarcane is not available,
01:388 million dollars of sugar goes there,
01:41then it is imported again.
01:43Who are these players who are eating?
01:45Who is giving them protection?
01:46Look, the skin of the people is being removed together.
01:49Then there are the issues of the people.
01:51You say that we are growing very well.
01:53Look, it is not a common thing to get 147 textiles and stop.
01:56There is so much unemployment.
01:58Where are we standing?
01:59No one is aware of it.
02:00Today, wheat crops are going to be removed again.
02:03Last year, there were 32 million metric tons.
02:06Today, there are not even 28 million metric tons.
02:09Today, shortfalls are being predicted.
02:11Look, the people...
02:12There was an analysis by the Ministry of Finance,
02:14that you will have to import wheat worth 3 billion.
02:17Look, why will we have to do this?
02:19When you cannot give a $1 billion subsidy to your farmer.
02:25If you don't give a subsidy,
02:26can't you at least give him urea or DAP cheaply?
02:29Can't these companies, these cartels earn?
02:31No one can touch them.
02:33Look, if I put urea expensive,
02:35I put DAP expensive,
02:36and you expect me to sell a sack of wheat worth 6,000.
02:40How will I sell it?
02:41Look, there is so much cruelty on cotton.
02:43Cotton is being imported and it is getting cheaper.
02:4518% tax on local cotton.
02:47Okay, that is a separate subject.
02:48Quickly, we have some time.
02:50Why didn't you go?
02:51You should have gone to this meeting.
02:52I asked all these questions to Salman Akram.
02:54I told him, you should have gone inside.
02:56You should have talked on that forum.
02:58It had a different weight.
03:00If you didn't like what he said,
03:01you should have left it and come outside.
03:03You would have got a bigger news cycle.
03:05You asked the same question to Kamran bhai and Mr. Kiani,
03:08that why Mr. Nawaz Sharif didn't come.
03:10It is unacceptable that he didn't come.
03:12If he didn't come, it would have made a difference.
03:14He is the Prime Minister for three times.
03:16Now, he is the Prime Minister for one time,
03:18who tackled terrorism,
03:19during which there was a drone attack.
03:21Can't his party take input from him?
03:23Is it so strict here?
03:25Is it such a forced climate?
03:27Look, Gaurist Gauhar was supposed to be met at 2pm that day.
03:31Couldn't she have met him at 9am?
03:34Can the doors of Adyala be opened on Sundays,
03:36when it is their intention?
03:38Couldn't the doors be opened on that day?
03:41The way you don't move without asking Mr. Mian,
03:43the same way you don't move without asking Mr. Khan.
03:45So, let him move.
03:46What is your problem?
03:47Sir, you remembered at 11pm.
03:49It was so critical.
03:50The meeting notice was issued long ago.
03:52Why did you remember at 11pm?
03:53Why did you send your name first?
03:55And secondly, sir,
03:56we didn't have to get any decision from him there.
03:59It is a security briefing.
04:00For which you come daily and shout.
04:02Standing Committee says that we are not given an answer.
04:04There is no respect for the Parliament.
04:06You came here and didn't give an answer.
04:07In the same National Assembly,
04:08the same thing is happening.
04:09There is weight in the argument.
04:10For which you are doing politics daily.
04:12And when the opportunity comes,
04:13you are shouting.
04:14Like always.
04:15Look, what was the purpose of that committee?
04:17It is a parliamentary committee.
04:18It is not all-inclusive.
04:20This is an attempt to run away from APC.
04:21Sir, there is no excuse to run away every time.
04:22They want to minus all the apolitical groups.
04:25These are all political parties.
04:27Sir, whenever you feel like,
04:28you sit with them and start negotiations.
04:29Whenever you don't feel like,
04:30you say that the Parliament is fake.
04:32Sir, if the Parliament is fake,
04:33then the salaries are fake.
04:34Then leave the salaries.
04:35Leave the cars.
04:36Leave the positions.
04:37Leave the standing committees.
04:38Salman Akhar has said that we are right.
04:40Why should we join you?
04:41Sir, come to the Parliament.
04:42They are saying to leave the Form 47.
04:44You say that you are a representative of the people.
04:45You say that you are not responsible
04:47when there is a security briefing
04:49in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan.
04:50No, I should have been there.
04:51So, it was your responsibility to be there.
04:53Sir, when the Parliament was built,
04:55they didn't leave the salaries even then.
04:57We have run out of time.
04:59Thank you both very much.
