"Journey from petrol bombs to tough decisions" - Kashif Abbasi's special report
Transcript
00:00 Asalam o alikum, you are watching the program with Kashif Abbasi.
00:03 The petrol prices have increased.
00:06 Once again, the petrol prices have increased by about Rs. 20.
00:14 The diesel prices have also increased.
00:17 There will be another wave of inflation.
00:19 And if you see, in the next few days,
00:21 there are only a few days left, after 6-7 days, the government will go home.
00:24 And after that, it will go to the elections.
00:27 This is a difficult decision for any government.
00:33 We call it a difficult decision.
00:35 A while ago, there was a petrol bomb.
00:38 And if any political party openly criticizes its opponent,
00:48 Today, we will show you.
00:50 Obviously, this is the same thing that we have been doing for the past 10-15 years.
00:55 We will try to understand how we have come this far.
00:58 We have not come here overnight, where we have to make electricity and petrol so expensive.
01:02 And we are under so much pressure from the IMF that we have to make all these things expensive.
01:07 We have come this far because we have taken political decisions on time.
01:11 These are not difficult decisions.
01:13 When the prices of petrol, electricity and gas were to be expensive,
01:17 it was thought that when the time for voting would come, people would be angry.
01:21 That's why these decisions should not be difficult.
01:23 Let it be. We will see.
01:25 Let's vote first.
01:27 And today, the time has come when the petrol has reached you for Rs. 275.
01:32 We have made this journey with great difficulty.
01:35 From the petrol bomb to the difficult decisions.
01:38 The decisions that we are taking for the wider benefit of the country.
01:41 Listen to the journey that the PDM has made.
01:44 Oil and gas are flying from the sky.
01:47 You have taken out the oil of this nation.
01:50 We have added to the prices of petrol by putting a stone on our hearts.
01:56 Today's difficult decision is an important step towards getting the economy out of the current crisis.
02:03 It is a sad news that the government has added to the prices of petrol and gas and has increased the problems of the people.
02:10 Keeping the national interests in mind, it is important that the minimum that has been calculated, the rate increase, should be passed.
02:18 Muslim League Noon and Opposition PDM will not give the government permission to increase the price of petrol by a single penny.
02:25 You have made petrol expensive here.
02:27 I was saying from the first day that the price should be increased.
02:29 And when we took these decisions with the grace of God,
02:31 when we did it with the grace of God,
02:33 then today Pakistan has become financially stable.
02:35 Didn't you feel ashamed to increase the petrol by Rs. 12 at night?
02:40 Today, after 15 months, I can say with a high head that the decision has been made to improve the economy of the country.
02:47 Today, the petrol bomb has fallen on the people like electricity.
02:52 When petrol is expensive, electricity is expensive.
02:55 Shaibaz Sharif says that when I have to increase the price of a liter per rupee, then the apocalypse passes on my heart.
03:04 Today, the prices of petrol have increased. It won't take long for the prices of electricity to increase.
03:09 We have taken difficult decisions a little late, but we have done it.
03:13 We will take more difficult decisions.
03:17 The increase in petrol and diesel by Rs. 30 has shaken the roots of the nation.
03:21 We have taken the most difficult decisions that were inevitable for the future of Pakistan.
03:28 So these are difficult decisions.
03:32 Earlier, this petrol bomb used to happen.
03:34 I have a tweet by Maryam Nawaz Sharif Sahiba in front of me.
03:37 She said that Mian Nawaz Sharif used to oppose such decisions and even used to govern himself.
03:43 But he was not the treasurer. He was Mifta Ismail.
03:47 And Mian Nawaz Sharif even said in a meeting that he cannot put another penny on the people.
03:54 If the government has any compulsion, then I am not involved in this decision.
03:57 And Mian Nawaz Sharif left the meeting.
04:00 And today we have seen the inflation of petrol.
04:04 You will remember that this government came to Islamabad after a march.
04:08 At that time, too, it was the IMF program.
04:10 All this is because of the IMF program.
04:12 As I said, historically, we did not take the decisions that should have been taken for the economy.
04:17 But when there was a previous government, there was also an inflationary march against these prices.
04:23 This march will be an inflationary march.
04:32 This government will have to march against inflation at all costs.
04:35 Inflationary march. Its name should be "Raddul Fasad".
04:38 The public march is starting today.
04:42 Neither can they control the dollar nor can they control inflation.
04:46 The most disastrous government in the history of Pakistan has not come to this point.
04:50 The tax storm has been created.
04:53 The people are drowning in the tsunami of inflation.
04:57 Every day, the value of Pakistani rupees is falling by 5 rupees.
05:02 We will reduce your inflation. We will reduce your problems.
05:06 The conditions that they have set with the IMF are the same as the washing of the 22 crore population of Pakistan.
05:15 These were very bad decisions.
05:19 But when Mr. Dar did a speech yesterday, he gave a speech in English, which he said was very responsible.
05:26 He said that we should talk responsibly about the economy.
05:28 It has a big impact when we sit in Pakistan and talk irresponsibly.
05:33 Before that, the IMF and the Modi government also showed the same eyes.
05:38 Whenever there was a decision, Mr. Dar gave a very reasonable statement.
05:43 Let's listen to what he said a while ago.
05:46 We start being pessimistic very soon.
05:48 Outside the country, I welcome them.
05:50 But within the country, I think it's not desirable.
05:52 Everybody must talk reasonably and must talk sensibly.
05:57 Because when you talk of economics, when you talk of economy, when you talk of numbers, when you talk of debt,
06:02 I think one has to be very careful because a little loose talk can cost the country a lot.
06:06 I spoke to Mr. Modi yesterday.
06:08 I said that if you don't stop this, then I will give a befitting answer.
06:11 Who are they to tell us where our money should go?
06:14 I have a problem with the IMF.
06:16 I have a problem with them.
06:17 But I have made a deal with them.
06:18 I know how to complete the program.
06:19 I don't care.
06:20 I don't care if they don't come.
06:21 I don't want to beg them.
06:23 I have been dealing with the IMF for 25 years.
06:27 It will come down to 200.
06:28 When I stepped into the ship, all the speculators found out that it was coming back.
06:33 If we don't do it ourselves, it will leave us alone.
06:35 I'm gonna need water.
06:35 Newly!
