00:00Mr. Kalasarath, I would like to ask you about the numbers of inflation and all these things.

00:06One reason for the decrease in inflation could be that the purchasing power of people

00:11is not increasing much in this period.

00:14If people reduce their purchasing power, their purchasing power will not be so strict

00:18or their salaries will not increase accordingly,

00:20then that also impacts on how much they go out and try to buy.

00:25So, do the government officials keep this in mind when they talk about the CPI?

00:31This needs to be understood.

00:33When the government says that the rate of inflation has decreased,

00:37as Mr. Gareeda was saying,

00:40the common man does not understand it in the same way

00:42that what the government is saying and what the common man is understanding.

00:44There is a huge gap between the two.

00:46The government says that the speed at which inflation was increasing,

00:49we have controlled that speed.

00:51They do not say that inflation is decreasing.

00:53They are not saying that.

00:54It is a very delicate point.

00:55It needs to be kept in mind.

00:57They talk about the rate.

00:58It increased by 10% every day after a week.

01:02It increased by 20% or 40%.

01:03But the public is given this impression initially

01:06until its explanations come from the economic experts.

01:09The public does not understand this.

01:11They say that there is inflation.

01:13They think that things are getting more expensive.

01:14The public is right.

01:16If the rate is 3% every day,

01:18then it needs to be differentiated.

01:21It is tricky.

01:22The problem is that inflation is not decreasing.

01:26It is increasing.

01:27It is increasing by 3%, 5%, 40%.

01:30It is multiplying.

01:32The government claims that

01:34it was increasing by 40% initially.

01:37It was increasing by 40% initially.

01:38Now it is decreasing.

01:39Now they say that it is increasing by 3%, 5%, 6%.

01:43The common man understands.

01:44When you say that inflation is decreasing,

01:46the common man does not think that it is decreasing.

01:48The common man understands that

01:50the samosas used to cost Rs.10.

01:51Now it has increased by Rs.11.

01:54The inflation has decreased.

01:55What does the government say?

01:56They say that it was supposed to cost Rs.15.

01:58We have increased it by Rs.11.

02:00It means that one rupee has increased,

02:01not four rupees.

02:02So that is the extent of inflation.

02:05The second thing is what Mr. Gareeda just said.

02:08You do certain things for the public.

02:12You do messaging.

02:13It is a complex.

02:14I still do not understand IMF.

02:17They tell us very good things.

02:19They make us do good things

02:21which are necessary for us.

02:24You spent one year and claimed

02:26that we have spent the whole year very well.

02:29It was a difficult year for you.

02:30Despite this, you have brought stability.

02:33It is your claim.

02:34We have rectified the government.

02:35We have rectified things.

02:36We have rectified everything.

02:37Then why do you need 20-25 ministers here?

02:39Why does IMF not object to them?

02:41You got your salary from Rs.2.25 lakhs

02:43or Rs.1 lakhs.

02:44You got it done for Rs.5 lakhs.

02:46Why does IMF not object to you?

02:48You got 20-25 new ministers.

02:50Now you want more.

02:52Why does IMF not object to you?

02:53I raised this question.

02:54They were saying that

02:55we are not drawing the salaries.

02:57We are not taking the salaries

02:58from the government treasury.

02:59Who is not taking?

03:00Mr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhary.

03:01How many are not taking?

03:02You should have asked.

03:03How many are not taking?

03:04Yes, yes, please.

03:05Not 5, not 10, not 40.

03:08I doubt that not all are taking.

03:10All are taking.

03:11There must be some people.

03:122, 4, 5.

03:13There are people in every cabinet

03:14who say that we are not taking salaries.

03:15I can tell you the names of people

03:16who are not taking salaries.

03:17And then they put up news.

03:18There are big scandals.

03:19They are not taking.

03:20You should take.

03:21I am not in favour

03:22that you should not take salaries.

03:23There are a lot of people

03:24with salaries.

03:25And their explanation is that

03:26first they bring it immediately.

03:28Do you remember

03:29that it should be 11% size

03:30after the 18th amendment

03:31which was fixed.

03:32Sir, there is one more thing.

03:33And then there is

03:34the issue of austerity.

03:35No, no.

03:36What is cruelty?

03:37Cruelty with this country

03:38and ruling elite

03:39which we do not tell.

03:40Cruelty is that

03:41you renovated the Thakur.

03:42You renovated it and played drums,

03:43danced, sang,

03:44that we have given

03:45the authority of the province

03:46and the powers of the whole centre

03:47to the provinces.

03:48Now all the powers

03:49have gone to the provinces.

03:50The ministry has gone.

03:51This centre

03:52will only keep

03:537-8 ministries.

03:54Do you know

03:55how many ministries

03:56Pakistan needs

03:57to run this centre?

03:588-10.

03:59You need

04:0050 people

04:01at a distance of 24 km.

04:02You need

04:0380 people at a distance of 24 km.

04:04You need federal ministers.

04:05In one ministry

04:06you see

04:07there is one federal minister

04:08and then there is the minister of state

04:09and then there is the advisor

04:10and then there is the parliamentary secretary.

04:11You make four ministers sit.

04:12The work

04:13that is the work

04:14of a section officer

04:15in your deputy commissioner's office

04:16you have made ministers

04:17for that.

04:18You have kept

04:194-4 ministers

04:20in the ministry.

04:21And even after that

04:22you see

04:23the quorums will not be complete.

04:24The quorums will not be complete

04:25because the minister

04:26or Sadiq Sahib

04:27has written letters

04:28and he is tired

04:29that the minister

04:30does not come to answer

04:31during question hour.

04:32This is against his pride.

04:33You...

04:34This is corruption.

04:35I mean

04:36what work did you do

04:37on 18th of November?

04:38Gareeda,

04:39did you want to add something?

04:40If you want to,

04:41then go ahead,

04:42I am at least a fan of their talks

04:44But the thing you are asking

04:46They say that the government is saying that the minister will not take salary

04:49Okay, don't take salary

04:50Like Qaid-e-Azam, take one rupee or don't take one rupee

04:53Make whatever statements you want

04:55But the optics were not appropriate

04:58They were not good

05:00And whether a minister takes salary or not

05:02But expenses are available to his ministry

05:04On the other hand, the government is saying that we are right-sizing

05:08We are downsizing

05:09We are doing austerity

05:11We are doing austerity measures

05:13So the austerity measures on which we used to criticize the government of Imran Khan

05:17The same is the case here

05:19You are saying that we have deducted 10 rupees from one place

05:22But put 100 rupees in another place

05:24So you are hiding 100 rupees

05:26And you are highlighting the deduction of 10 rupees

05:29So even if the cabinet ministers or advisors do not take salary

05:34But their ministries have expenses

05:36They will increase the expenses

05:37And if you are saying that one minister had two ministries

05:41So from there you are taking two different ministers

05:44Is this right-sizing or downsizing?

05:46Is this austerity or you are increasing the cost?

05:50If 8-10 ministers are needed, then what is the need of the government?
