[00:00:00] You know that there are many conditionalities, international
[00:00:03] obligations and other things and inside the country,
[00:00:06] as I said, this targeted subsidy, if they
[00:00:10] reduce it, even the rich will benefit, those who drive big cars,
[00:00:14] four-wheelers, luxury cars, they pay taxes on them,
[00:00:17] so this class and almost
[00:00:21] nothing, nothing, so we have registered motorcycles in Pakistan
[00:00:24] and I will tell you further about the eligibility, its number is approximately
[00:00:28] 25 million now. There are 25 million motorcycles and
[00:00:32] you can see that a very large number
[00:00:34] Council, Mohsen Rezaee, said are being registered in it and I even conducted a survey in my office
[00:00:37] and asked how old is whose motorcycle
[00:00:41] so the boy who was operating the computer said mine is
[00:00:43] 2011.
[00:00:46] I asked the boy, he said mine is 2006 registered, so we have been doing
[00:00:49] service from people and you will also see petrol pumps, I just drove in the side window
[00:00:53] where our young people, our volunteers, our media team are also
[00:00:56] going to petrol stations to help people, so these are difficult times, such schemes
[00:01:00] succeed only by helping each other. Thank you, sir.
[00:01:03] Shaker ji. Jamaat-e-Islami, yes, regarding Jamaat-e-Islami,
[00:01:07] you see, we have contact with them at all levels, at the level of Ameer
[00:01:11] and also at the level of Deputy Ameer, so they are
[00:01:14] very sensible, very flexible people, peaceful people,
[00:01:18] but the law is the same for everyone that if the road is not to be closed,
[00:01:21] it will not be closed, that will also apply to them, but obviously we have full
[00:01:25] contact with them, conversation is there, sir, the
[00:01:28] targeted subsidy program was going very well.
[00:01:39] the current crisis in the Middle East has become
[00:02:00] You also saw the notification issued by the Cabinet.
[00:02:03] On petrol, on unnecessary travel,
[00:02:07] on unnecessary expenses, on functions, teleconferencing
[00:02:10] has been prioritized. And the Prime Minister's
[00:02:14] delegation, which was supposed to go to UNGA and he also has to give a speech there.

[00:02:21] So you see, the Planning Minister did not go,
[00:02:25] the Climate Change Minister did not go, I did not go. So the Prime Minister's entourage is also very small at the moment,

[00:02:57] Police say that the incident initially
[00:03:30] or there is a fear of loss, so our estimate in this is that approximately

[00:03:40] activities are interrupted.
[00:03:43] Stability has come to the country,
[00:03:47] and we are on the path of progress, but sit-ins halt the journey of progress. Sit-ins
[00:03:50] and protests, and the closure of business activities will cause the country
[00:03:54] a daily loss of 120 billion rupees. Exports will decrease by 50% daily
[00:03:57] due to strikes. Finance Minister Mohammad Aurangzeb

[00:07:59] anything. No political movement should ever
[00:08:02] be made violent. Wherever there is encroachment in Karachi,
