[00:00:00] stopped, then we saw that with Qatar and some other countries, another check point Babel
[00:00:04] Mandab and Dersi in Bahra Ahmar,
[00:00:07] it also came under pressure and now Swiz also
[00:00:11] came. On one side of course, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
[00:00:14] have a bilateral relationship, but our energy
[00:00:18] consumption also depends a lot on this. They think that we
[00:00:22] are actually thinking clearly about getting
[00:00:25] the fuel supply and whatever else we need, especially
[00:00:29] raised one point and that for that, we have
[00:01:55] there is talk about provinces
[00:02:26] with Qatar, our
[00:02:45] And there are many reasons for this, we will talk about
[00:03:11] many projects with China
[00:03:54] but with due respect,
[00:04:04] to evening and share it with you, viewers.
[00:04:08] failure, a collapse, so
[00:04:34] 16 hours, works very hard
[00:05:09] However, with Saudi Arabia,
[00:07:12] many questions and you rightly said that Pakistan
[00:07:16] imports energy from there and that is very important,
[00:07:19] but the way there have been repeated
[00:07:22] distortions in between, if you look at it, this also
[00:07:26] raises a question that whether we can increase the strategic reserves
[00:07:30] inside our country or not, we have already
[00:07:34] heard news that with Saudi Arabia, with UAE,
[00:07:39] agreements are happening that we will make
[00:07:42] a local
[00:07:45] one here.
[00:07:52] We have been facing energy crises consistently.
[00:07:57] it later. But our
[00:08:00] neighbors or these our friendly countries,
[00:08:03] Muslim countries, in which Saudi Arabia is prominent, UAE
[00:08:07] is there, Qatar is there, then our
[00:08:11] dealings with them in various sectors
[00:08:14] of oil and LNG have been going on in various ways,
[00:08:18] but similarly, in terms of electricity, we also have
[00:08:23] and in this regard, the most important work was done
[00:08:26] by Mian Nawaz Sharif. Before that, or in this country,
[00:08:30] there used to be 20-20, 22-22 hours of load
[00:08:34] shedding and the biggest problem of this country was also load shedding, but
[00:08:38] then when Mian sahib came to power around 2014,
[00:08:41] then he worked a lot in this regard in 2013,
[00:08:45] then power plants were set up, many projects
[00:08:48] ran with China, and also with other
[00:08:52] countries, but we
[00:08:55] are facing some difficulties, that is, even now, if you
[00:08:59] see, first of all, our economy
[00:09:03] has not stood up and behind that also are the same factors, that is, if you
[00:09:07] see, we are facing a terrible terrorism,
[00:09:11] Afghanistan is sitting on our border and then all the
[00:09:15] international
[00:09:17] terrorist organizations came and settled here
[00:09:20] and the United Nations repeatedly
[00:09:24] issued a report on this, they also said then the Russian report
[00:09:28] and now when you face such a situation,
[00:09:32] then you will also face economic difficulties
[00:09:35] and also an energy crisis, you will face many
[00:09:38] problems. Now Pakistan it's not that Pakistan
[00:09:48] in this matter
[00:09:50] and to some extent it has also achieved success, but unfortunately,
[00:09:54] we are facing a calamity, that is, if you see,
[00:09:57] especially in Balochistan and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:10:01] the situation is such that if such a situation
[00:10:05] emerges in even one corner of the country, then your entire
[00:10:08] administrative structure and your economic structure
[00:10:11] gets disturbed and because of this disturbance,
[00:10:15] we have not
[00:10:18] overcome some crises yet.
[00:10:21] with UAE,
[00:10:25] the dealings we have, if we look at the current
[00:10:29] government, then in terms of track record, in terms
[00:10:32] of economic development, in terms of progress,
[00:10:36] in terms of delivery, if the best, that is,
[00:10:40] without exaggeration, in the 75-80 year period, if you
[00:10:43] look, the best track record is held by this Muslim
[00:10:47] League-N government, but you will agree on one thing
[00:10:51] that both our guests specifically is that
[00:11:55] we did not succeed in the same way, and this is why
[00:11:58] the red tape
[00:12:02] did not allow many matters to move forward.
[00:12:05] This is on this basis, that is, when
[00:12:08] the tragedy of this country is that when someone brings reforms,
[00:12:12] people start talking against him, saying, "Why are you doing this work?" Just like I
[00:12:16] give you the latest example,
[00:12:20] that now they are opposing this too.
[00:12:23] Oh brother, look at the 1951
[00:12:43] the population of Punjab was two crore, the population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:12:47] was 50 lakhs. Now even
[00:12:49] in that era, this
[00:12:52] province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa extended from Chitral, that is, from the extreme north,
[00:12:56] to Attock in southern Punjab. From Attock to Rahim Yar Khan
[00:12:59] in Sindh, it was Punjab, and it was then, and it is today. So
[00:13:03] brother, administrative changes come, distribution of resources
[00:13:07] comes. Dynamics change. Many issues
[00:13:10] arise, and according to them, all countries carry
[00:13:14] out reforms. That is, our neighboring country, the Punjab that came to our share,
[00:13:18] remained the same. They made many reforms,
[00:13:22] they divided it into many parts. Look, we have
[00:13:25] not moved forward in this
[00:13:28] regard. That is, if provinces are being divided, then
[00:13:32] resources will also be divided, administrative resources
[00:13:35] will also go to the grassroot level, and
[00:13:38] accountability will also be divided. If accountability improves,
[00:13:42] then brother, will we always keep sitting on this that no,
[00:13:58] level, these happen at the national level, but may God
[00:14:02] grant that there is more such awareness in Pakistan's media. The reason is that
[00:14:06] if we pull back a little, then the media also has a role.
[00:14:08] But let's talk about Naqvi sahib's statement
[00:14:12] on which the media tried to create a storm.
[00:14:16] He talked about systemic failures and then talked about provinces.
[00:14:20] So our uncles and the media are not
[00:14:23] reporters whose job is to collect information from morning
[00:14:29] They said that there has been a systemic
[00:14:33] the media tried to make it seem like
[00:14:36] perhaps this was an accidental statement against the government. Brother,
[00:14:40] he himself is a minister of the government. Today he has also clarified that
[00:14:44] the government is not going anywhere, I am part of the government and I will discuss
[00:14:47] the government but along with that he also
[00:14:51] specially complimented the Prime Minister that the Prime Minister
[00:14:55] works 14 to
[00:14:59] and how many successes he has achieved. Now
[00:15:02] in this, I see an issue of two things. One is our
[00:15:06] perception management about which I will talk to
[00:15:10] Anjum Akil sahib. But the other is media
[00:15:13] because we have two petitioners from the media present. Hamad sahib
[00:15:17] is also here and Sarmat sahib also had a connection with media
[00:15:21] before becoming a senator. So our media especially the anchors and
[00:16:08] Look, the real thing is that okay, whatever Naqvi sahib said, people saw
[00:16:12] negative and positive things in it first,
[00:16:15] but look at this that our media also
[00:16:19] tries to bring out the burning
[00:16:22] issues. They have a desire that
[00:16:26] we
[00:16:28] do such things that spread like
[00:16:31] wildfire and give a shock
[00:16:34] to people. So there are such news, but if not,
[00:16:38] then we also bring
[00:16:42] ourselves and also bring matchboxes
[00:16:53] sahib didn't even wait for what he said. Okay, I'll
[00:16:57] also say this later, that sometimes such things come out of the mouth, but he has
[00:17:00] also clarified everything. But despite
[00:17:03] that, the way our media has raised this issue, and in this,
[00:17:37] our media should also think
[00:17:40] more that if there is Pakistan,
[00:17:44] then we are here. It should play a positive
[00:17:47] role. Positive things.
[00:17:59] role, but it is also your job to make them understand, right, sir? You are the
[00:18:03] government. If you don't understand, then what will happen? Actually,
[00:18:07] the thing is, we often learn things from the media,
[00:18:10] but the thing is that those who run the media,
[00:18:14] I am talking about them, they should also explain to their
[00:18:18] institution or people that you have to talk
[00:18:22] positively so that Pakistan flourishes, Pakistan
[00:18:25] grows. Now the thing is that the matter that Naqvi sahib raised
[00:18:29] is also over now, but in this, I will
[00:18:32] definitely say that in Pakistan,
[00:18:36] an attempt was made to give a shock
[00:18:40] to stability. Now, given the situation,
[00:18:44] this government, the reality is that you see, recently
[00:18:47] there were elections in Kashmir. People's Party and Muslim League were both head-on
[00:18:51] and they campaigned very hard, but
[00:18:54] politically, think that as soon as that campaign
[00:18:58] ends on the 10th, you will see both will sit at one table
[00:19:02] and will run this country in a very positive
[00:19:06] way. So this is political awareness, this is political
[00:19:09] awareness that big parties have,
[00:19:12] but I believe that individuals of the country
[00:19:16] also play a very important
[00:19:27] right that there is a lot of understanding among big parties,
[00:19:32] the new media that has come, for that
[00:19:35] the response time has also become less.
[00:20:37] will be done and sensationalized so that
[00:20:41] your clicks increase, your views increase. So when views increase,
[00:20:44] then whoever is there,
[00:20:48] the influencer or whoever
[00:21:20] tried to make an issue out of it and put
[00:21:23] various things
[00:21:25] in it, added spices so
[00:21:29] that our ratings can increase or whatever
[00:21:33] it is. So that is also one thing we have to keep in mind, but
[00:21:36] look, the problem is
[00:21:39] that whatever the media did, it did. The media
[00:21:43] is basically a messenger, so they say, we are saying
[00:21:46] that you have nothing to do with the messenger.
[00:22:20] Yes, there is a systematic failure. The systematic failure
[00:22:23] he mentioned was not about the constitutional framework. He said
[00:22:27] it's a failure of governance. Regarding governance, as I
[00:22:31] mentioned earlier, the problem is with the bureaucracy. We abuse politicians,
[00:22:34] we abuse the army, that's wrong. They
[00:22:38] don't let anything run. When they don't let it run, then
[00:22:41] you will see
[00:22:58] Media, the first Urdu newspaper came
[00:23:00] in 1835 by the name of Delhi Urdu
[00:23:04] Akhbar and who was that? He was Maulana Muhammad
[00:23:08] Hussain Azad's father, Maulvi Muhammad
[00:23:10] Baqir. That سلسلہ continued, how many great
[00:23:14] minds did it bring into media? That is, you can see Maulana Zafar
[00:23:18] Ali Khan, Maulana Muhammad Johar, Abul Kalam Azad, Faiz
[00:23:22] Ahmed Faiz, Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi. This
[00:23:24] سلسلہ continued till 1990-95. Suddenly,
[00:23:28] that is, the people who were in media before used to come after
[00:23:32] going through an intellectual process, only then they became journalists.
[00:23:36] What happened now? Now social media came, everyone
[00:23:39] got access, there was no writing ability. They
[00:23:43] had not gone through training. They had no proper training,
[00:23:47] nor had they worked in print media. Whoever got
[00:23:50] a mobile and internet became a journalist. The tragedy was
[00:23:54] that in the same era, PTI
[00:23:57] came forward and then Imran Khan's
[00:24:00] mindset, his mind, his language
[00:24:04] spread and it caused a civilized destruction.
[00:24:08] Lying, abuse on media.
[00:24:10] Hamad
[00:24:34] and gentlemen, you have heard the discussion till now
[00:24:38] and in that you have seen that here,
[00:24:42] crises are also formed and they also have to be handled, but unfortunately,
[00:24:45] media and many agents
[00:24:49] proper
[00:30:32] reached Saudi Arabia. In a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
[00:30:36] bilateral relations will be strengthened and regional and international
[00:30:39] situations will be discussed. Deputy Prime Minister
[00:30:43] Muhammad Arif Field Marshal Munir and a high-level delegation
[00:30:46] are also accompanying.
[00:30:52] The Prime Minister reaffirmed his determination to further strengthen
[00:30:55] partnership with China. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif met with China's
[00:30:59] ambassador Jiang.
