00:00 90% of Pakistanis are now thinking that the country is not going in the right direction.

00:04 According to the Consumer Confidence Index survey conducted by EPSOS,

00:07 only 10% of Pakistanis think that the country is going in the right direction.

00:12 And the economic problems are the biggest problem for them.

00:15 But the number of people who think that the country's economy is very weak has decreased.

00:19 It has reduced to 60%.

00:21 Along with the survey, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is also expressing his opinion that

00:25 the country is not going in the right direction, but it will increase.

00:30 And the old politicians are being held responsible for this.

00:34 The objection of these old politicians is that they are doing the same old politics

00:42 which has destroyed my country.

00:45 Either they sit at home or in their madrasa and pray for the country.

00:50 Now it is us who have to do the work.

00:52 When Khan became the government, he became the government of the Tik Tokers.

00:56 And when Mian became the government, he became the government of Ashrafiya.

01:00 I want to establish a public rule in this country.

01:04 I want to be the Prime Minister.

01:07 But more than that, I want the Prime Minister in Peshawar.

01:11 While clarifying his point, Bilawal Bhutto has not only admitted the failure of the PDM government,

01:19 but also explained the reason for this, that the PDM government was playing a personal enemy.

01:24 Our PDM government, which we supported for 18 years,

01:30 God forbid 18 years, 18 months,

01:32 was not successful because our PDM government was playing a personal enemy.

01:40 We will talk about this later.

01:42 We have with us the senior of the PDM government, Rehno Manavi, Kamar sir.

01:47 Kamar sir, thank you very much. It is easy to give the name of the Mengai League to Anund Li,

01:50 but with this Mengai League, how can you all, with 10 ministers,

01:55 make the People's Party move away from Mengai?

01:58 Look, my point is that yes, we were a part of the coalition, we were a part of the cabinet.

02:05 So to that extent, it is true that we also have to take responsibility.

02:13 That collective decision.

02:16 But obviously, the lead party, for example, in finance,

02:21 or our fiscal, monetary policies, state bank policies,

02:28 often, especially in the second part, our difference was there.

02:35 Because the whole philosophy was here that tighten everything,

02:42 that the economy should be thriving, that was not there.

02:50 In fact, our IMF program was on again and off again.

02:55 In that, very difficultly, when Mr. Mifta was in the first half,

03:00 it was not there in the first half, then it was there,

03:04 then it was like this during Mr. Dar's time too.

03:07 So, that inconsistency which did not remain, due to which the pain was more.

03:13 And pain unfortunately, it is on the common man, on the people.

03:18 So to that extent, we used to criticize inside too.

03:23 And even today, we are keeping it in front of the people.

03:28 So, that is true that if it was not like this,

03:34 then maybe it would not have been so expensive.

03:37 Obviously, if the international prices of commodities increase,

03:40 then it will have an impact, but less.

03:43 But Mr. Qamar, on again, off again, the lack of consistency that you are talking about,

03:47 all this ownership is very solely, squarely on you and people's party as well.

03:52 Because you chose to remain there as part of the cabinet.

03:56 And on whose behalf was this lack of consistency specifically?

03:59 I think to an extent, there was confusion, there was a concern about populism.

04:08 Especially, when we saw some by-elections, when the results came,

04:15 to a great extent, this program was slowed down.

04:20 IMF program is very bitter and it is not popular.

04:29 We can definitely differ from the IMF program,

04:33 but once you finally negotiate something, then you have to go on it.

04:39 Here, the inconsistency was also that whether the growth should be done at the age of 13 or not.

04:48 Now, Mr. Khan, before leaving, gave another kick to the whole thing,

04:53 that yes, I am doing 10 rupees cheaper.

04:56 Now, there was a cheap popularity.

05:01 But then, it took us a lot of time to reverse it.

05:05 Because a lot, who was, Feli Senior,

05:10 who thought that we cannot afford to do these things.

05:16 But the losses that were caused by not doing it,

05:20 that is what happened that our foreign exchange reserves started to fall.

05:27 Because of that, we severely risked our imports.

05:32 And because of that, our exports were also risked.

05:35 So, these things cannot be done on again and off again.

05:41 Finally, when in the final half of 2022,

05:48 it was decided that we have to do this and we did,

05:52 then after the change of finance minister, again we had to go back and start all over again.

05:58 Then we came back and finally, this deal was done in the last days.

06:04 The thing is that if there is no consistency, then its results will be at some time.

06:10 So, Naveed Kamar Sir, this is the first time that I am hearing this from you.

06:14 You all did not come to save the state.

06:16 Political gains were very much, loss of political capital was a big issue for the Noon League and for you all as well.

06:22 With delay, the IMF clinched the deal.

06:25 The People's Party did not raise a voice then as well.

06:27 But today, when they say that we have saved it by default,

06:30 you want to take credit for that as well, you are also a part of that.

06:33 But political gains were very much there.

06:35 None of you came to save the state.

06:37 No, whatever you call it, credit or discredit,

06:41 the facts on the ground, I am saying that this is not right of you to sit inside and say this.

06:48 Chairman Binawal himself said this.

06:52 But obviously, certain things you can't say.

06:55 You take an oath that you will disclose the cabinet's matters later.

07:00 So, there are such things at that time as well.

07:02 The question was, if you follow that whole thing to its ultimate logical conclusion,

07:12 that you will not go home after giving the resignation,

07:16 that was possible, but politically, after taking so much pain,

07:22 if we leave, it means we go to the elections.

07:26 So, perhaps everybody thought that it was not appropriate.
