00:00I read in the notes during the break, let me correct one thing,

00:03I told you that the annual expenditure was 28 billion,

00:06it was not the figure of PILDAT, it was of PIDE.

00:09And this PIDE is also a government-funded organization,

00:11so if the government itself is wrong, I don't know,

00:14but this is the figure of PIDE, this is not the figure of PILDAT.

00:18There is a little time left.

00:20Tell me, it seems to me that your politics are only on one issue,

00:25or Mr. Khan inside or Mr. Khan outside,

00:27as these people say now, come on larger issues too.

00:30Look, we are highlighting all those issues.

00:33Look, this is just a program given by IMF,

00:36a fiscal discipline comes with every IMF program.

00:39This is not unique for them.

00:41But who highlighted the problems that came because of it?

00:44PTI is highlighting.

00:45Look, what burden did they put on the salaried class in just 6 months?

00:49A common salaried class has given 100 billion rupees extra.

00:52You also committed to the IMF and put pressure on it.

00:56The prices of fuel were destroyed.

00:58Look, now they have not even passed on, globally prices have gone down.

01:02They have again adjusted in the interest of the levy.

01:05They said that we should take more levy, we will not give relief to the public.

01:08What is the position of your current large-scale manufacturing?

01:11No, I did not point to that.

01:12I said that if someone goes to the IMF program and implements it,

01:15that is also a good thing, appreciate it.

01:17You guys went to the program and put pressure on it,

01:20but the situation has worsened.

01:22Look, we were at a 6% growth rate.

01:24We were not in that problem.

01:25We had set up the economy.

01:27Agriculture was growing in our time.

01:29Today, where is agriculture standing after wheat import?

01:31Look, you just said a very good thing about sugar.

01:33You should ask them.

01:35Look, in UAE, where even sugarcane is not available,

01:388 million dollars of sugar goes there,

01:41then it is imported again.

01:43Who are these players who are eating?

01:45Who is giving them protection?

01:46Look, the skin of the people is being removed together.

01:49Then there are the issues of the people.

01:51You say that we are growing very well.

01:53Look, it is not a common thing to get 147 textiles and stop.

01:56There is so much unemployment.

01:58Where are we standing?

01:59No one is aware of it.

02:00Today, wheat crops are going to be removed again.

02:03Last year, there were 32 million metric tons.

02:06Today, there are not even 28 million metric tons.

02:09Today, shortfalls are being predicted.

02:11Look, the people...

02:12There was an analysis by the Ministry of Finance,

02:14that you will have to import wheat worth 3 billion.

02:17Look, why will we have to do this?

02:19When you cannot give a $1 billion subsidy to your farmer.

02:25If you don't give a subsidy,

02:26can't you at least give him urea or DAP cheaply?

02:29Can't these companies, these cartels earn?

02:31No one can touch them.

02:33Look, if I put urea expensive,

02:35I put DAP expensive,

02:36and you expect me to sell a sack of wheat worth 6,000.

02:40How will I sell it?

02:41Look, there is so much cruelty on cotton.

02:43Cotton is being imported and it is getting cheaper.

02:4518% tax on local cotton.

02:47Okay, that is a separate subject.

02:48Quickly, we have some time.

02:50Why didn't you go?

02:51You should have gone to this meeting.

02:52I asked all these questions to Salman Akram.

02:54I told him, you should have gone inside.

02:56You should have talked on that forum.

02:58It had a different weight.

03:00If you didn't like what he said,

03:01you should have left it and come outside.

03:03You would have got a bigger news cycle.

03:05You asked the same question to Kamran bhai and Mr. Kiani,

03:08that why Mr. Nawaz Sharif didn't come.

03:10It is unacceptable that he didn't come.

03:12If he didn't come, it would have made a difference.

03:14He is the Prime Minister for three times.

03:16Now, he is the Prime Minister for one time,

03:18who tackled terrorism,

03:19during which there was a drone attack.

03:21Can't his party take input from him?

03:23Is it so strict here?

03:25Is it such a forced climate?

03:27Look, Gaurist Gauhar was supposed to be met at 2pm that day.

03:31Couldn't she have met him at 9am?

03:34Can the doors of Adyala be opened on Sundays,

03:36when it is their intention?

03:38Couldn't the doors be opened on that day?

03:41The way you don't move without asking Mr. Mian,

03:43the same way you don't move without asking Mr. Khan.

03:45So, let him move.

03:46What is your problem?

03:47Sir, you remembered at 11pm.

03:49It was so critical.

03:50The meeting notice was issued long ago.

03:52Why did you remember at 11pm?

03:53Why did you send your name first?

03:55And secondly, sir,

03:56we didn't have to get any decision from him there.

03:59It is a security briefing.

04:00For which you come daily and shout.

04:02Standing Committee says that we are not given an answer.

04:04There is no respect for the Parliament.

04:06You came here and didn't give an answer.

04:07In the same National Assembly,

04:08the same thing is happening.

04:09There is weight in the argument.

04:10For which you are doing politics daily.

04:12And when the opportunity comes,

04:13you are shouting.

04:14Like always.

04:15Look, what was the purpose of that committee?

04:17It is a parliamentary committee.

04:18It is not all-inclusive.

04:20This is an attempt to run away from APC.

04:21Sir, there is no excuse to run away every time.

04:22They want to minus all the apolitical groups.

04:25These are all political parties.

04:27Sir, whenever you feel like,

04:28you sit with them and start negotiations.

04:29Whenever you don't feel like,

04:30you say that the Parliament is fake.

04:32Sir, if the Parliament is fake,

04:33then the salaries are fake.

04:34Then leave the salaries.

04:35Leave the cars.

04:36Leave the positions.

04:37Leave the standing committees.

04:38Salman Akhar has said that we are right.

04:40Why should we join you?

04:41Sir, come to the Parliament.

04:42They are saying to leave the Form 47.

04:44You say that you are a representative of the people.

04:45You say that you are not responsible

04:47when there is a security briefing

04:49in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan.

04:50No, I should have been there.

04:51So, it was your responsibility to be there.

04:53Sir, when the Parliament was built,

04:55they didn't leave the salaries even then.

04:57We have run out of time.

04:59Thank you both very much.
