00:00 They have come and destroyed the country.
00:03 And they are not useless, they are also worthless.
00:06 Okay, they are not useless, they are also worthless.
00:08 Last night, the government, which was supposed to sacrifice politics on the state,
00:13 just 11 days before the deadline, in the darkness of the night,
00:15 while arranging for the collective sacrifice of 23 crore people,
00:18 in one go, they have increased the price of petrol and diesel by 20 rupees.
00:23 After which, the price of the fuel-litre petrol is 272.95 rupees.
00:26 And the price of high-speed diesel has reached the level of 273.40 rupees.
00:31 While the increase in prices is being said while keeping the national interest in mind.
00:35 Let's talk to the President of All Pakistan, Anjumine Tajran Ajmal Balot.
00:40 Mr. Ajmal, first of all, tell us, what are you threatening?
00:44 That you will shut down and will lock down the wheels.
00:47 Look, the thing is, what else can we do?
00:50 We don't even have the power to sit in the assembly.
00:53 What should the government do?
00:54 The government should do one thing, it should do a favour,
00:57 it should end the army of 100 ministers and ministers.
01:00 It should end the suit of 5 lakhs.
01:02 It should end the cars of 10 crores.
01:04 Free petrol, free electricity, free...
01:06 You are saying that 10 crores are for the renovation of the Prime Minister's house.
01:09 I am saying that these expenses should be given 50-50 crores in every ring.
01:14 The people are dying.
01:15 You are giving 50 crores to MNP and why are you giving it to MPs?
01:18 We don't want any development, for God's sake.
01:21 The government should give all the money to the people.
01:25 Otherwise, we will be on the streets and we know how to come to the streets.
01:28 The government knows this.
01:29 When the traders come in protest, then it is possible to return.
01:33 We have been sitting quietly for so long that these new people have come.
01:37 I don't know what has become difficult.
01:38 They have destroyed it.
01:39 In 14 months, they have destroyed the country and while leaving,
01:43 8 days are left, they have increased the petrol and diesel by 20-20 rupees.
01:46 You can guess.
01:47 The parliamentarians are making fun of the people who are shouting in the assembly.
01:54 There is no one to talk to.
01:56 Mr. Balot, the problem is that you see that all the things will be increased in Khurdonosh.
02:01 People's kitchen bills will be out of control.
02:03 Last night, when the transporters increased the price by 20 rupees,
02:06 I was seeing that the rents of other cities from Lahore have increased from 200 to 800 rupees.
02:11 That means that 15-20% increase has happened here.
02:13 The second problem is that once the increase happens, you know that it doesn't reverse.
02:16 But there is a deal with IMF.
02:19 There is an understanding.
02:20 Are you complaining about the increase of 20 rupees?
02:24 No, no.
02:25 My complaint is that if the Prime Minister says that he will sell clothes and run the country,
02:32 then he should not wear a suit worth 5 lakhs.
02:34 This is a poor country.
02:36 We are dying.
02:37 I am wearing a suit worth 1500 rupees.
02:39 Why can't the Prime Minister wear it?
02:41 No one will call him Mr. Shahbaz Sharif.
02:43 I am repeating this to all the ministers.
02:46 They don't have any expenses, they don't have any salaries, they don't have any petrol for their cars.
02:50 They have 6-6 people with them.
02:52 This is a burden on this country.
02:54 You are the core vote bank of Muslim League Noon.
02:57 You have seen earlier that Mariam Nawaz Sahiba used to get the tax returns of retailers from Mr. Mifta Ismail through a tweet.
03:03 They don't dare to tease the merchants.
03:06 They are not ready to tax agriculture.
03:08 They are not ready to tax real estate.
03:10 They have become a salaried class.
03:13 They are paying all the taxes.
03:15 They don't give tax to retailers or exporters.
03:17 We have seen a great story of Shahbaz Rana.
03:19 The problem is that when you say that you will take back the tax returns,
03:22 there is an IMF, our lifeline is there and we have come out of the default.
03:26 What should we do?
03:28 I understand the IMF.
03:30 I have met them in PR many times.
03:34 The problem is that the country where you live,
03:37 when they ask for money, no one gives it.
03:40 Why don't they give it?
03:41 Because we are being eaten.
03:42 We are being wasted.
03:44 We don't show what we have done.
03:46 We have given money to the flood victims.
03:48 I have gone to the river bank and distributed 3000 packets.
03:52 Why didn't the government do it?
03:54 The problem is that our intentions are not right.
03:57 These were experienced people.
04:00 They have spent 5-6 months and in 14 months they have ruined the country.
04:07 If they had agreed to the IMF, they would have done something in the beginning.
04:11 They would have done something in the beginning.
04:13 There would have been something.
04:15 The problem that the people are facing today,
04:17 I am a businessman and a tenant.
04:20 I know that I am not able to pay the rent of the shop.
04:23 I know that I am not able to pay the salaries of the employees.
04:26 I am a common man and I am not able to buy food and medicines.
04:30 Our economic situation is like a devastation.
04:34 We are standing on the edge of destruction.
04:36 The report of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of India
04:38 that came out in July,
04:39 it said that the inflation rate is 28.3% in July.
04:41 And according to these rates,
04:44 the price of wheat has increased by 102%.
04:47 Tea has increased by 97%.
04:49 Rice has increased by 68%.
04:50 Wheat has increased by 67%.
04:52 In the last year, potato has increased by 61%.
04:55 Chicken has increased by 58%.
04:56 And the price of rice has increased by 56%.
04:58 The IMF that we take money from,
05:03 why do we take money from it?
05:06 I am not talking about today.
05:07 Today, we are forced to take money.
05:08 When our exports and imports are stopped.
05:11 We have nothing.
05:12 We don't have dollars.
05:13 The industry is destroyed.
05:15 There is no raw material to make medicines.
05:18 I myself take a medicine.
05:19 There is no raw material to make it.
05:22 The thing is that you came.
05:25 You said that the previous government was useless.
05:28 They don't know anything.
05:29 They were useless people.
05:31 These were experienced people.
05:33 And there is no one in the 14th
05:34 who raised their voice against them.
05:36 What is Raja Riaz Sahib talking about?
05:38 This is the joke with this country.
05:40 This is the injustice.
05:41 You are running an assembly.
05:43 And no one is ready to talk against you.
05:45 If they were useless,
05:46 what would you say to them?
05:47 I would say four times more.
05:50 Great useless.
05:51 I would say that they have come
05:54 and destroyed the country.
05:56 And they are not useless,
05:58 they are not worthy.
05:59 Okay, they are not useless,
06:00 they are not worthy.
06:01 Sir, a common citizen is giving
06:03 eight types of taxes under electricity bills.
06:05 On just one bill,
06:07 the tax is of fuel price adjustment,
06:09 FCC charge,
06:10 quarter tariff adjustment,
06:12 duty on electricity,
06:13 TV fees,
06:14 GST,
06:15 fuel price adjustment,
06:16 electric duty.
06:17 So, the point is that
06:18 the electricity you are consuming,
06:20 you are paying the same taxes.
06:22 There are many taxes.
06:23 There is sale tax,
06:24 income tax,
06:25 there is tax on them,
06:26 further tax,
06:27 extra tax.
06:28 You are a businessman again.
06:29 What will a common citizen do?
06:30 Do you think that
06:31 unemployment will increase
06:32 or layoff unemployment will increase?
06:34 Both will increase.
06:35 Look, the industry will be closed.
06:37 Many people have lost their jobs.
06:40 The people who are with us,
06:42 they are also working.
06:43 We are giving them one by one.
06:45 Where will they go?
06:46 And the buyer who is coming,
06:47 he does not have money in his pocket.
06:49 What is the deadline, sir?
06:50 You are saying that
06:51 the government should return it.
06:52 If it is returned,
06:53 then it is not visible, sir.
06:54 Look, they will have to do it.
06:55 Otherwise,
06:56 after eight days,
06:57 another government will come.
06:58 And they have given the authority to them too.
07:00 Whatever happens,
07:01 look, I am a non-political person.
07:03 I have always protested against
07:04 every government.
07:05 You are representing
07:06 the merchants of the whole of Pakistan.
07:08 Yes, yes, absolutely.
07:09 I am a non-political person.
07:10 I am a non-political person.
07:11 You are representing the merchants of the whole of Pakistan.
07:13 Yes, yes, absolutely.
07:14 You are threatening the whole of Pakistan
07:15 about the wheel jam.
07:16 Yes, yes, I am.
07:17 You are threatening the shutdown.
07:18 We can also shut down
07:19 and all people can come on the roads.
07:21 So, one of the two decisions,
07:23 we will make at any time
07:24 in the next two to three days.
07:25 Thank you very much.
07:26 Because I am happy.
07:27 President of Pakistan,
07:28 Anjuman Tajran, Ajmal Baloch,
07:29 was with us.
07:30 You have heard the conversation.
