But if it is not a solution to these problems, then [00:00:03] it is also your responsibility that some people [00:00:07] inside your ranks who [00:00:10] are causing disorder in society [00:00:14] and are also insulting you people. If it happens [00:00:18] that a journalist gets a notice, this is an insult to all of you, [00:00:21] because a professional working journalist cannot get a notice. [00:00:25] It is not possible. It cannot come. [00:00:27] Those who have developed an addiction to dollars, [00:00:31] who will have as many clickbait thumbnails [00:00:35] as you, you know, make controversial statements, it will not work. Last [00:00:39] year, I went on vacation with my family, [00:00:42] and there's a YouTuber sitting outside, he, I mean, [00:00:46] didn't talk about me in a degrading way. [00:00:49] About my husband, he said he should have thrown him in the water, [00:00:53] he wants to kill him. Now, are these things to talk about? Tell me, [00:00:57] and he's sitting outside, I can't do anything to him. [00:01:03] And the funny thing is, the person I'm talking about, he was a politician, [00:01:06] he also became a journalist. So this is also a moment of reflection [00:01:10] for you, brother, if you have become a journalist, then I think [00:01:13] make peace. These are [00:01:16] matters that are a source of [00:01:19] humiliation for everyone. So I once again, from the platform of CPNE, [00:01:23] humbly request all of you that please [00:01:26] come up with your own mechanism for this. Form a disciplinary committee, [00:01:30] or form anything. And you start taking notices yourselves. [00:01:34] You yourselves prescribe [00:01:36] their punishments. [00:01:38] Then perhaps no one else will need to take further action on this. [00:01:42] But if you only look at the face, you [00:01:46] will, until a notice comes, and even when a notice comes, you have to [00:01:49] raise the banner of freedom of expression. You don't have to say that such and such a thing was wrong, [00:01:53] except for one incident about which the President of CPNE [00:01:57] saw, I saw a news about the Chief Secretary in Punjab, [00:02:01] and on that, they acknowledged [00:02:05] that this was wrong. This should not have happened. [00:02:08] This is my request, that you yourselves start calling wrong, wrong. [00:02:12] You yourselves start accountability, [00:02:15] so that and don't give [00:02:19] everyone who calls himself a journalist the right to call himself a journalist. This [00:02:23] should also be a very painful cause for you that tomorrow, [00:02:27] a person of yesterday, who has no [00:03:00] is done, which is unfortunate for the country and for all [00:03:03] journalistic organizations. So this was my request, [00:03:07] but if any of my words have hurt anyone, or if there is any problem, [00:03:11] then I apologize for that, but you, I, you [00:03:14] talk to me, and I also [00:03:18] done better. We see it in the same way, but don't know how to talk in a made-up way. [00:03:22] a cap. Whatever is in my heart, I say that. Whatever seems right to me, I say that. [00:03:25] And sometimes, perhaps it's not good. [00:03:28] Good. [00:03:33] and China and [00:03:38] we say that maybe they are inclined [00:03:53] in agriculture with Iran. [00:04:00] at the right time. [00:04:15] the economy is improving or its status of occupied Kashmir has been abolished. Illegal settlement [00:04:18] in the valley and violation [00:04:21] of fundamental human rights is a blatant violation of international laws. [00:04:25] The Indian government abolished Article [00:04:28] 370. [00:05:27] roadmap for how we will take trade forward. Now, look, there is a very important thing in this, [00:05:31] that if we already see that [00:05:35] Iran is already a big [00:05:38] importer of rice from Pakistan. Pakistan [00:06:12] has options and it is directing us directly. We have seen in the past that our Iran-Pakistan gas [00:06:16] pipeline project was delayed. We also see that when [00:06:19] our trade starts, then our pending project will also grow and move forward. [00:06:23] So these are all the avenues that can easily [00:06:27] happen between Pakistan and Iran. Trade is informally [00:06:31] somehow still happening between Pakistan and Iran, [00:06:34] but when we bring its proper formal [00:06:38] channels to it, what is the name of trade? [00:08:42] The facility will be such that its chances [00:08:45] of spoiling will be very low and it will go to the Iranian markets [00:08:49] very quickly and I think that at this time [00:08:52] our trade of three billion dollars is happening with Iran and we [00:08:56] had also met the Iranian delegation before so it was discussed that [00:09:00] we can only trade three billion dollars [00:09:06] There is such a big potential after that, all our [00:09:09] manufacturing here, our textile here, [00:09:13] it is not a big deal to take our bilateral trade to 10 billion dollars. [00:09:17] Then the way to the markets further from there opens up and the biggest [00:09:20] thing is that if our oil import from Iran starts, [00:09:24] the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline [00:09:26] is being talked about, so we will also benefit about two [00:09:30] billion dollars from it because [00:09:34] this is like you understand that just like transportation [00:09:38] is happening in your own country by surface, so this is [00:09:41] very [00:10:42] to the private sector. So that their performance [00:10:46] improves. Financial losses decrease and quality services can be provided [00:10:49] to the public. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has implemented the reforms [00:10:53] of the Privatization Commission [00:11:25] in one month. Significant benefits. In the power sector, privatization is expected to reduce [00:11:29] line losses and electricity theft, improve management [00:11:32] and provide quality services to consumers. The privatization process [00:11:35] should be transparent, fair and in accordance with national interest [00:11:39] so that a fair price for national assets is obtained. Consumers' [00:11:43] rights are protected and the country receives maximum [00:11:46] economic benefit. By completing all these stages with best planning and [00:11:50] transparency, privatization can play an important role in strengthening [00:11:54] the economy of our beloved country. [00:11:58] You saw the right report. I want to ask Mr. Jawad Rizvi [00:12:01] that especially the privatization phase, as Mr. Naeem Siddiqui said, [00:12:05] the efforts to complete it as soon as possible [00:12:09] are being made. What do you think? The government has also [00:12:13] announced reforms here. The Prime Minister has given one month's time for reforms [00:12:17] to take place so that the privatization phase can happen. Please comment [00:12:20] on this. [00:13:25] we saw that the services improved. [00:13:29] The high revenue generating feeders, or where the losses [00:13:32] were minimal, we saw that there was no load shedding there and smooth supplies [00:13:36] were also received. This is what we say due to [00:13:40] which we see that Electric has [00:13:43] in this we face some challenges, as we have seen that this [00:13:47] private commission has done roadshows for the privatization of DISCOs. [00:13:51] They went to London and various other places. We are also getting news that [00:13:56] Turkey [00:13:58] along with Saudi Arabia, their interest, [00:14:03] towards investment or its privatization. So [00:14:07] we should keep one thing in mind that until we bring [00:14:11] reforms, as the Prime Minister is saying, until we bring reforms [00:14:15] properly, we don't complete [00:14:18] the privatization, from A to Z, [00:14:22] then our position gets stuck because if we look at [00:15:25] the demands they made for incentives so that [00:15:28] our national airline continues to operate in the same way, [00:15:32] it should also have growth, investment should come in the country, so [00:15:35] the incentives they required [00:18:01] 7.03 lower was [00:18:03] 180626.92 and finally closure [00:18:07] 18176.59. [00:18:11] A gain of 1761.66 [00:18:13] was seen today. We can call it a very good [00:18:17] positive market. Many investors [00:18:20] are also participating, looking very happy. So we can say it was a good market [00:18:24] today. Next, we also have volume details, let's also look at those. Only one script [00:18:28] being in red territory, Bank of Punjab is leading this list. [00:18:31] A gain of 1.25 was seen, closing at 36. [00:18:34] 65.98 million shares were traded. Unity Foods Square, [00:18:38] a gain of 0.76, closing at 11.9. 62.46 [00:18:41] million shares traded. Next, Synar G, a gain of 0.19, [00:18:45] closing at 11.25. 56.19 million shares traded. [00:18:48] A decline of 0.07 was seen in TSB. [00:18:51] Closing at 2.39. 32.74 million [00:18:55] shares traded. And lastly, Maple Leaf Cement, [00:18:58] a gain of 5.15 was seen, [00:19:01] closing at 13.09. 30.3 million [00:19:04] shares traded today. You can see that the volumes are also looking [00:19:08] a bit better across the board, and investors are seen grabbing good buying [00:19:12] and good opportunities. So all in all, across the board, we can say that [00:19:16] today there was a bit of a rally, and buying in the market [00:19:20] gained dominance. So, Mr. Naeem Siddiqui, I want to ask you [00:19:23] what are the things emerging regarding the stock market? Look, [00:19:27] firstly, the war [00:19:31] has seen a slight pause, and especially the oil [00:19:34] prices, which you must have seen, have fallen. Due to the fall [00:19:38] in oil prices, the market reacts to sentiment. [00:19:42] Its pulse runs on the economic sentiment [00:19:46] that is going on. So, where you see [00:19:49] things, [00:19:52] prospects are improving, or there is an opportunity in exports, [00:19:56] or the local industry is growing, [00:19:59] the stock market also makes its way accordingly, and I think [00:20:03] that again, [00:20:06] our market, if these conditions improve a little more, then as I said before, [00:20:10] it will cross 200,000 [00:20:13] points, God willing. [00:20:16] So I think that you must have seen that [00:20:20] the buyers outside are more, [00:20:24] so in Pakistan at this time, the number of buyers [00:20:27] is increasing, and especially even youngsters are also [00:20:31] playing a lot in the stock market these days. They are investing [00:20:34] with small amounts of money, gaining experience. So I think [00:20:37] it's a good opportunity and in the coming days [00:20:40] in the stock market, if the international [00:20:44] market conditions improve further, [00:20:47] and the war tension decreases, [00:21:58] selling was 321.21. UK pound buying was 373.71, selling was [00:22:01] 374.39. US dollar buying was [00:22:04] 277.65, selling was [00:22:07] 278.15. [00:22:10] 41.14, selling was 41.21. Next, let's also look at the [00:22:14] GCC currency updates, what are the updates in the market. [00:22:18] First of all, Saudi Riyal buying was 73.9. [00:30:32] strengthen partnership with China. The Chinese ambassador presented [00:30:36] President Xi Jinping's letter to the Prime Minister. [00:30:39] Appreciation for the Prime Minister of Pakistan's letter on the occasion of the 105th anniversary [00:30:43] of the establishment of the Communist Party of China. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif [00:30:46] departed for a three-day official visit [00:30:51] to Saudi Arabia. A meeting will be held [00:30:55] with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during the visit. [00:30:59] ملاقات ہوگی۔
