00:00 You say that they should not have a role, but they do have a role.

00:04 What is the procedure? If they should not have a role, does your party have an actionable plan?

00:09 How will you restrict their role?

00:11 The procedure is that if all the political leaders do not stand at the door of the army,

00:18 then the influence will decrease automatically.

00:21 But every political party either brings votes or they bring their votes.

00:26 If they are not getting votes from here, then they go there.

00:28 This urge has to be resisted that if you do not get votes from the public,

00:31 then do not go to anyone else to ask for help.

00:33 Whether you get votes from the public or not, it is such a small thing.

00:36 But this is not happening with anyone.

00:38 This was Ibrahim Khan Sahib who is sitting with a lot of criticism today.

00:42 The bridge of praise was closed from his mouth. He did not stop.

00:45 The criticism that was going on a while ago with Muslim League Noon,

00:50 today he is sitting quietly.

00:52 Mr. Sahib, in the politics of Pakistan, in 1985 itself...

00:56 The politicians have also become bipolar.

00:59 Fair enough.

01:00 The politicians have become bipolar. If they stand on one side...

01:03 In 1985, there was a politician, Nawaz Sharif Sahib,

01:05 who also came with a lot of courage,

01:07 breaking the legs of the People's Party, taking the marks from them.

01:11 After that, he became the champion of the other side.

01:14 He stayed for many years, up to three decades.

01:16 So, now Imran Khan Sahib is also going through the same process.

01:18 But you must have heard the theory of acceptance and acceptance.

01:21 So, in acceptance and acceptance,

01:23 you will present your agenda and then the people will decide that acceptance will be there.

01:28 So, are you worried about acceptance?

01:31 No, you should not be worried.

01:35 You should not be worried. You should only go for acceptance.

01:38 If acceptance is there, then you will come. If not, then you will not come.

01:41 But the problem is that the one who has no acceptance,

01:44 like PDM had last time, like Imran Khan had earlier,

01:47 when acceptance is over, or in 1918, Imran Khan did not have acceptance,

01:51 he ran away, asking for help.

01:55 So, this is the first thing. We are not bipolar.

01:58 We are not saying that we are not accepting or accepting.

02:01 We are doing our work. You do your work.

02:04 Let's come a little further.

02:06 This is the new IMF report, which I have read some of the mantras.

02:09 The situation is that, first of all, the report that has come out,

02:12 it is obvious that the requirements of Pakistan on the IMF program are not that easy.

02:18 The IMF is now talking about increasing the tax rate.

02:22 And it seems that, looking at the past, the pattern is that

02:25 maybe it will have to increase the burden on the salaried class or middle class.

02:29 And the important decisions that the governments have to make,

02:32 in which more people have to be brought into the tax net,

02:34 we do not see that far.

02:36 So, if we talk quickly about what the IMF has demanded from Pakistan.

02:41 In this, Shabaz Rana Sahib from Attributes does very good reporting.

02:46 Let's move forward with his report.

02:48 According to the news of Express Tribune's serial reporter Shabaz Rana,

02:51 the IMF has demanded that the tax be imposed on pension from Pakistan

02:54 and that the pension scheme be withdrawn.

02:57 Pakistan should collect a further tax of half a percent of the national GDP,

03:00 that is, 600 billion rupees.

03:02 This tax should be collected from the salaried and business class.

03:06 To deal with the revenue shortfall, a reduction in government expenses has been demanded.

03:10 It is a demand to speed up reforms in various institutions, including the FPR.

03:14 And apart from this, there is also a news of Mehta Bhaidar Sahib.

03:17 According to him, the IMF has demanded an increase in the basic electricity bills from Pakistan.

03:22 And it has also been said that Pakistan should immediately investigate all government commercial companies.

03:26 Mr. Biftad, the IMF program is necessary.

03:28 The IMF is making the demands from us, it is doing absolutely right.

03:30 But while fulfilling these demands, the middle class is flying, sir, whatever their demands are.

03:41 The IMF program is necessary because we are useless.

03:44 But not all demands of the IMF are right.

03:47 The IMF's macro level demand is right.

03:49 If the IMF says that you only have 10 percent or 9.2 percent tax to GDP

03:55 and your expenses are 17 percent tax to GDP, then this 7 percent loss is very high.

04:00 Because of this, you have to print notes, which increases inflation, which increases poverty.

04:04 So the IMF is absolutely right that you are reducing the loss.

04:07 There should be no doubt about this.

04:09 Now if the IMF tells you to impose tax on people working in the job market,

04:12 then they have 2-3 months to go and tell the IMF that we are not imposing tax on people working in the job market,

04:19 but we can increase the tax on property, we can increase the tax on real estate,

04:23 we can impose tax on shopkeepers, we can impose tax on merchants.

04:27 You should present an alternative tax to the IMF.

04:30 If the IMF tells you to reduce the electricity bills,

04:33 then you can say that we will try to reduce the cost from somewhere,

04:37 we will bring better policies so that more electricity is sold,

04:40 especially in winters, so that our per unit capacity cost is reduced.

04:45 But you should give an alternative tax to the IMF.

04:47 Right now they have time. It is not like they have a gun on their head.

04:51 Sometimes the IMF gets stuck on completely wrong things.

04:54 I know that in my time also they said that no matter what happens,

04:56 you have to impose tax on the working class, which I and Shabaz Sharif resisted a lot,

05:00 but in the end we had to listen to them.

05:03 But now they have 2-3 months.

05:05 If we go to the IMF with an alternative tax,

05:07 if we go to the IMF and say that we are bringing changes in the NFC award,

05:12 and we are reducing some of the money we are giving to the province,

05:15 so that the deficit of loyalty is reduced, you are not doing this.

05:18 You can go and say that we are sharing expenses with the province,

05:22 we are increasing the volume of WISC from 400 to 800,

05:25 but the province will give the next half of the money, you are not doing this.

05:29 You say that we will reduce ADP, we will reduce PHDP,

05:33 the MNS scheme on which a lot of money was invested in the last year in PDM,

05:37 you have invested 200-300 billion rupees, you are reducing that, you are not doing that.

05:40 When you are not ready to take anything on your head,

05:44 when you are not ready to take the politically difficult decisions,

05:48 you have to do the MNS scheme,

05:50 you have to give money to the province,

05:52 you have to do the MPS scheme in the province,

05:55 then someone will pay the money.

05:57 So the most stingy person is the one who has a salary of 1000 people,

06:00 you start taking tax from them.

06:02 Who has forbidden you from taking tax on property?

06:05 If you are collecting property tax of 8 billion dollars in the whole of Pakistan,

06:09 then it is healthy, right?

06:10 So who has forbidden you?

06:11 Thank you very much.
