00:0035 years ago, China was standing where India was standing.

00:06Today, where has China gone and where is India?

00:30India is standing where China is standing.

00:54First of all, I am very happy that

00:58we have given the most amount of money in the history of Pakistan for social protection.

01:05In our history, we have never raised the lowest level of resources.

01:12So, from the beginning, we did not go where we should have gone.

01:19We went to the other side.

01:21We said that first the money will come, then the welfare state will be formed.

01:24I want to give two examples, Mr. Speaker.

01:27China and India, both have a population of more than one billion.

01:3335 years ago, China was standing where India was standing.

01:39Today, where has China gone and where is India?

01:43What did they do?

01:45And what did India not do?

01:47The situation in India also improved.

01:49In India also, they progressed in the last 30 years.

01:52But in India, the gap between the rich and the poor increased.

01:56Today, there is poverty there and the richest people are there.

01:59What did China do?

02:01They decided,

02:03which was decided by the great leaders of the world in the state of Madinah,

02:08that we will bring up the lowest people first.

02:11And we went to China and we saw what they did,

02:15what methods they used to raise their weakest class.

02:20So, Mr. Speaker, this is a miracle in the world.

02:24It is a miracle.

02:26They raised 70 crore people from poverty in 35 years.

02:31And just this year, President Xi Jinping announced that

02:37we have eliminated extreme poverty in China.

02:41This has never happened in the history of the world.

02:44It is a miracle.

02:46But as they raised the poor,

02:48China also became an economic giant and a superpower.

02:51India also had such a big market.

02:55But they did not take these steps.
