00:27 Before going to this news, we will inform you about the economic situation in Pakistan.

00:34 First of all, the latest report of Moody's

00:37 One is that Pakistan's 3AA, which is our current strength of the economy

00:44 which is in the lowest condition, it is said that it is continuing the same of Pakistan

00:48 which is very weak.

00:50 The news that has come, let's put the translation in Urdu in front of you

00:53 In English, it is clear that their report is that "Opposition elections, weak union government

00:59 Pakistan will face economic challenges"

01:01 This is what Moody's said.

01:03 Viewers, the report of Fitch has come

01:05 after the recent elections

01:07 Let's put the headlines in front of you in English

01:11 "Pakistan election outcome highlights risk to new IMF deal"

01:15 Viewers, the translation of Urdu, we have taken out the points from it

01:20 "Pakistan election outcome highlights risk to new IMF deal"

01:26 "Stand-by arrangement deadline will end in March 2024"

01:31 "New deal has added value to the country's credit profile"

01:35 "We assume that it will be done in a few months"

01:39 "But long negotiations or failure in the deal will increase the pressure of external payments"

01:44 "and the risk of default will increase"

01:46 This is what Fitch report has said

01:48 "In elections, despite the excellent work of the parties involved,

01:52 the unity of the Muslim League and People's Party is visible"

01:56 "Constant political instability can give a boost to any deal with the IMF"

02:01 "On the other hand, the help of many and two-sided partners

02:05 can be a hurdle in the implementation of reforms"

02:09 "We are sure that the government will be established and will negotiate with the IMF relatively quickly"

02:14 "But there is a risk of high risks for political stability"

02:18 "If PTI is put aside, public dissatisfaction can increase further"

02:23 "Because in recent elections, the public has expressed constant and strong support for PTI"

02:28 After that, we come to the letter written by PTI to IMF

02:33 There is a long letter in English, obviously its introduction is in it

02:38 The points in Urdu that we have translated

02:41 This is the letter written by PTI to IMF

02:44 This letter is being sent to the IMF on the instructions of PTI's Chief of Staff, Bani Chairman

02:49 It is important to make it clear from the beginning

02:52 that PTI does not want to become a hurdle for the IMF in any way

02:58 which is beneficial for the country's immediate and long-term economic development

03:02 We request the IMF to follow its guidelines on good governance

03:08 and to follow the guidelines which are necessary to achieve economic convenience

03:15 which will be a burden on the Pakistani people in the future

03:19 The National and State Assembly should make at least 30% of the seats an order

03:23 which can be completed in just two weeks

03:25 We do not request the IMF to adopt the role of an investigative agency

03:30 There are at least two local organizations in Pakistan, Fafan and Patan

03:34 which have also offered a comprehensive proposal for the 2024 General Election

03:39 which can be implemented with some amendments for the satisfaction of all stakeholders

03:46 The role of the IMF will be a great service for the people of Pakistan

03:50 which can prove to be a sign of beneficial economic development and economic stability in the country

03:55 Ladies and Gentlemen, Rauf Hassan has written this letter

03:57 He is a spokesperson of Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaaf

04:00 He is a representative of Bani PTI, we have recently met him and invited him

04:04 We are going to clarify a few things

04:06 We have put the circumstances and events in front of you on such occasions

04:10 Rauf Sir, thank you very much for giving us time

04:12 Sir, you have seen the report of FEDJ and Moody's

04:16 There is political instability in Pakistan, there is division and polarization

04:21 A minority-united government is going to be formed

04:24 On top of this, you have said that you are a big political party

04:28 You have taken a lot of votes

04:31 You have told Moody that you will not give money to the IMF

04:35 You have told IMF that you will not give money until our opinion or our claim that our vote has been stolen is not discussed

04:44 Your thoughts Sir?

04:45 Look, this presumption of yours that we have, God forbid, written this letter to aggravate the economic situation

04:55 This letter is not correct at all

04:58 You have also read it, but it is important that I repeat it

05:03 In the beginning of this letter, we have said that this point should be made clear from the beginning

05:08 That the PTI does not want to become an obstacle for the IMF in any way

05:14 Which is a problem for the country's immediate and long-term economic development

05:19 So the purpose of the letter is not what you are presuming

05:23 And we have only said that there is a prerequisite for achieving the economic goals

05:30 And that is a public mandated genuine government

05:37 Who has the power to vote and support the people

05:43 Which unfortunately, the government that was forced to be formed due to the bloodshed in the dark of the night

05:51 This is a system of thieves and robbers

05:53 Rao Sir, this is obviously a statement of the Minister of Justice, there is an opinion on this, which is respectable

05:59 But the problem is how will you determine the "Fafan" and "Patan"

06:02 Pakistan has a legal system, Pakistan has a Supreme Court, courts, Election Tribunal, all this will be determined there

06:09 The "Fafan" and "Patan" that you have said, what will be the benefit after doing that?

06:15 How will the matter progress?

06:17 We have not said that they should do it, if you have read the letter, it is very clear

06:22 We have said that they can do it, there are two different things that they can do or they can not do

06:27 The authority that will be audited, at the end of the day, whether it is an institution or not

06:36 They will have an option, they will have an option that through whom they will get this audit done

06:41 And they can get it done

06:43 So we are not saying that through them, through "Fafan" or through "Patan"

06:48 No, our purpose is only that there should be a government in Pakistan that is based on the public mandate

06:56 We are a democracy, we are not an autocracy

06:59 And the vote that has been stolen is a reality, everything is visible

07:03 And that is why we say that the audit should be at least 30% seats

07:08 It should be at 100% but we have demanded that the audit should be at 30% seats

07:14 So that it is known that the vote has been stolen, that is all

07:17 And after that, if our institutions are sitting here, there is an election commission, there is a high court, there is a supreme court

07:24 The results of the election should be declared on the basis of the genuine voting that has taken place

07:31 And let that government be formed, which the government actually takes people's vote

07:36 Absolutely right, your point is right, Mr. Rao

07:38 I have Hassan Youkhwan with me
