00:00I don't want to quote the example of our enemy country.

00:31What is the difference between a dictatorship and an elected government?

00:39In a dictatorship, there is no legitimacy because the people do not get support.

00:47In a democratic government, the democratic government

00:53has the moral strength and legitimacy of the mandate given by the people.

01:03Mr. Prime Minister is a good man.

01:08But the decision he made to come to this government,

01:14I think it was the worst decision of his life.

01:19Everyone knows how this government was formed.

01:25If you look at the background of the French Revolution,

01:30it was a main cause of high public debt.

01:34Such a big mountain of debts,

01:38in which we have a public debt of about 57 trillion,

01:42and our debt servicing is about 75% of the revenues.

01:52We have to do our debt servicing of about 10 trillion.

01:57What will happen is that our fiscal deficit will increase further.

02:03We will take more loans for that.

02:05Investors are not more than 1.5 lakhs.

02:09What can we compare with India?

02:13They have taunted us that we used to carry bombs in our hands,

02:18and now we carry guns in our hands.

02:21This is a very sad statement for us.

02:25I don't expect our Prime Minister or our government to be hurt by this.

02:30Our economic figures are a mirror of this.

02:35I can say that our current Prime Ministers have also lost their elections.

02:49They have also come through manipulated results.

02:55No matter who the Defence Minister is,

02:59they have all lost their elections.

03:01Why should foreigners invest in this country,

03:04when your own people have forgotten their Swiss accounts,

03:10haven't forgotten their Evenfield accounts.

03:13You brought this money to this country,

03:16the country needs it,

03:18and you have not brought it to this country.

03:21Because you want to secure your future,

03:24and the people of this country will suffer.

03:27The majority of the people of Pakistan are young.

03:31We don't have a caretaker Prime Minister.

03:34When he was asked that millions of youngsters are leaving the country,

03:39he said, so what?

03:41So what?

03:44Gentlemen, the youth are the most valuable asset of this country.

03:50I don't want to quote the example of our enemy country.

03:54Elections have just been held there.

03:57More than 800 million people have voted.

04:00There were thousands of polling stations, lakhs of polling stations.

04:04There was only one person in one place,

04:07and they built a polling station for him too.

04:10They built it through EVM.

04:12They conducted it.

04:14One voice has been raised that the election was rigged.

04:17How was the transfer of power?

04:21Gentlemen, we also want to be included in the line

04:25that this country should always fight for this legitimacy.

04:31That the one who wins the election does not believe,

04:34the one who loses does not believe,

04:36and the one who wins says that I have won.

04:38This kind of thing has made our political system completely hollow.

04:43Because you don't want elections to be free and fair.

04:46You don't want it either.

04:48With a thousand apologies.

04:50That your parties don't want a free and fair election,

04:54which is the root cause of all this mess that we see,

04:58be it the economy, be it the society,

05:01be it anything, the progress of this country.

05:05That is not happening. This is the fundamental reason for it.

05:08There is no rule of law here.
