00:00There is no doubt that because of the good policies of the government, the economy of the country has started to run again.

00:08And its good emperors have started to reach the public. And more will come in the coming days.

00:14And you know that interest rate has increased from 22-23% to 12%.

00:18Inflation has increased from 38% to 2.5-3%.

00:22There is a trend of increasing prices.

00:24Yes, but the word is deflation. No one is saying that there is deflation.

00:28Why will you say that there is a decrease in inflation?

00:31So, the thing is that our foreign exchange reserves are absolutely correct.

00:37Where were they and where are they now? They are in front of us.

00:40And the risk of default is equal to none at the moment.

00:43The IMF program is stable. Tax collection is being recorded.

00:48Even the provinces have mobilized their resources very well.

00:52Especially Punjab. Punjab will collect around Rs. 1000 billion tax this year.

00:59So, in tax collection, no one has thought of anything other than the salaried class?

01:03No, I will tell you that this was also discussed with the Prime Minister.

01:06And he was saying that if someone has made a big sacrifice to reach this point, then...

01:14He has made a lot of sacrifices.

01:16He has made a lot of sacrifices.

01:18But in his mind, he has made a sacrifice to the salaried class.

01:22And God willing, he will give good news to them very soon.

01:26Senator, your thoughts. These are issues.

01:30For example, this is a very good thing.

01:32Indicators matter. They are saying which money they give.

01:36But of course, making an announcement is a big thing.

01:38That they have an intention. That there is such an environment in Pakistan.

01:41But the question lies, when will it reflect on the people of Pakistan?

01:47That yes, things are getting better.

01:49People must be asking you as well.

01:52Look, my opinion is that in the next six months, it will reach the public.

02:00Budget is coming then.

02:01Yes, but I am saying that the impact of trickle-down,

02:04your jobs, your stability, your inflation,

02:08the impact of all these things will start to come.

02:11It is already coming. You have told in the sample.

02:13One thing that my brother Amir has said,

02:17that poverty, I have just checked,

02:19poverty has gone up a lot.

02:20And he is right, there is no doubt about it.

02:2221.9% was poverty in this country when the PTI government came in 2019.

02:27I have just checked.

02:2837.2% has been left behind.

02:31At the moment, 40.1% is there.

02:333% more.

02:343% more.

02:35Okay.

02:36So, the thing is that the matter of below poverty line,

02:39you people have left it at 21.9% and left it at 37.2%.

02:43After that, it has increased by 4%.

02:45So, you can check this.

02:48And in all other matters also, you can tell me,

02:51that if the Prime Minister of a government,

02:55after the end of the government, says that the country is defaulting,

02:58and a campaign is running on it that the country is defaulting,

03:01and the IMF has written a letter that the country is defaulting,

03:03after that we should be thankful to Allah that the country did not default and was saved.

03:07And Mariam Nawaz Sahiba is absolutely right that

03:09Mian Nawaz Sharif sir has taken the country out of trouble again.

03:13Otherwise, the situation that we were in,

03:15the foreign exchange reserves,

03:16where the interest rate had reached,

03:18there was nothing left for business in this country.

03:21Mr. Dubey, this is the thing that,

03:23the way we ended the period of your government,

03:27and after that the period of PDM,

03:29there were a lot of difficulties,

03:30but they say that bringing it out of the ICU itself was a big success,

03:34the circumstances that were there.

03:36So, you don't agree with that, that these things have improved?

03:38Look, for the country, we should be better in prayers.

03:41There should be ease in the life of a common man.

03:45Who is getting the piss?

03:46A common man is getting the piss.

03:47These Ashrafis, or our present rulers,

03:51they have to hold a bag and go and sit in London.

03:54They have to hold a bag and go to Dubai.

03:56The piss was of a common man, it was of a salary class.

03:59We are also Pakistanis,

04:02Mr. Tariq-e-Nasab is also a part of this country.

04:06So, when will we want the country to improve?

04:09And we say that there is a problem in the country's development.

04:12There is no problem.

04:13We are asking for our rights,

04:15we are asking for the constitution,

04:16we are asking for the law.

04:17What needs to be done,

04:18they say that there should be confidence building measures.

04:23You can go to the Charter of Economy,

04:26that there is a need for economic development,

04:28but you are giving a dossier,

04:31you are writing a letter to the IMF,

04:33you are talking to them,

04:34that there was a situation before,

04:35and now it is happening again.

04:36You are telling the Pakistanis who live across the sea

04:39that they should not be sent.

04:41On the contrary, it has happened that

04:43$3 billion has been maintained in both January and February.

04:46These things can be managed.

04:49No, we were sitting for the dialogue.

04:52We said, make a commission,

04:54end the dialogue today.

04:57I am giving an example.

04:59Political stability,

05:01as my brother just said,

05:03with political stability,

05:05there will be economic stability.

05:08No matter what you do,

05:09this will not happen.

05:10But there are two things.

05:11One thing has an impact on the government,

05:13and the second thing has an impact on the state,

05:15has an impact on the people.

05:17If you are talking about remittances,

05:19it has an impact on the entire structure of Pakistan

05:21because our economy is like this.

05:24Remittances make a big difference.

05:25Those who have to send remittances,

05:27you should check their feelings.

05:29What do they think?

05:31They are the citizens of this country.

05:33That is why they are sending,

05:35because they have to think about their families.

05:37Obviously, no one has refused to send their families.

05:40Their monthly expenditure is on them.

05:44No one has refused.

05:46When they come to the public square,

05:48they will know.
