[00:00:00] The indicator of our GDP, abductees from their hideouts. the indicator of our remittances,
[00:00:04] the indicator of our budget deficit, the indicator of our current account,
[00:00:07] all of these are on an upward trajectory.
[00:00:11] So, in this perspective, the Federal Finance Minister said that
[00:00:14] basically all of this
[00:00:17] fever, precautions are hard-earned gains, and they should not
[00:00:20] be reversed so easily. This
[00:00:24] press conference was in this perspective that basically the Ministry
[00:00:27] of Finance has conducted a study, according to which,
[00:00:31] if this continuity of development,
[00:00:34] this continuity of stability, if anyone tries to detract it
[00:00:38] in the form of protests, in the form of strikes,
[00:00:41] in the form of blocking roads, then
[00:00:45] in this context, this press conference was held that if any
[00:00:48] untoward incident occurs that might affect the improved
[00:00:52] macroeconomic indicators, then due to it, the economy would suffer
[00:00:56] a loss of approximately 120 billion rupees per day.
[00:01:00] The service sector will suffer the most damage,
[00:01:03] estimated at 86 billion rupees per day,
[00:01:07] which is extremely alarming.
[00:01:11] capability of ours. So, in this perspective, he was also making a request to the nation
[00:01:14] that we have achieved this economic
[00:01:19] for small cars up to 800 and after that, slowly stability with great difficulty, and now we have to put this economic stability into the institution of development
[00:01:22] so that its benefits can reach
[00:01:24] liters every 10 days. To get the common people. It will trickle down. So, for this
[00:01:27] reason, he said that we cannot tolerate this.
[00:01:37] So, in this way, these
[00:01:40] i.e., I for Islamabad, sectors, including the export sector, will be damaged if there are strikes,
[00:01:43] if there are long marches, if obstacles are created.
[00:01:47] Pakistan played So, in this perspective, this G for Gilgit Baltistan, was a very important press conference, S for Sindh,
[00:01:50] and P for Punjab, the pace of economic development
[00:01:53] or the economic stability achieved as a result of the reform
[00:01:57] agenda basically cannot be disrupted
[00:02:00] in any way. This was a very important press conference
[00:02:04] in this perspective. Thank you very much, Dr.
[00:02:07] Shahid, for your valuable insights on the important conversation of Federal Finance
[00:02:11] Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb with the media
[00:02:14] and economic matters. This was the latest from PTV
[00:02:17] News.
[00:02:30] Correct every
[00:02:32] time!
[00:02:36] Due to ongoing tension in the region, oil prices are skyrocketing
[00:02:39] worldwide, which is affecting many countries,
[00:02:43] including Pakistan. In such difficult circumstances,
[00:02:47] a historic decision has been made by the Prime Minister of Pakistan
[00:02:50] for the convenience of the public. The Prime Minister's special relief
[00:02:54] scheme is successfully continuing. For motorcyclists, Chingchi,
[00:02:58] and rickshaw drivers, a discount of 500
[00:05:12] it reaches you, the Government of Pakistan buys it
[00:05:16] and then delivers it to you through its transmission system.
[00:05:19] The government buys it on what terms, whether it's expensive or
[00:05:23] cheap, IPPs are government institutions,
[00:05:26] WAPDA is there. People have always had questions about it,
[00:05:30] and the name of IPPs has become infamous today,
[00:05:34] that at what rate they bought electricity and at what rate they gave it to us.
[00:05:37] So, for the past 25-30 years, every government has wished
[00:05:40] for it, which has not been implemented till today. And
[00:05:44] this is the first government of Shahbaz Sharif, so
[00:05:48] this intention of the past 25-30 years is going
[00:05:51] to be implemented today. It will be that
[00:05:54] after today, no one will have
[00:05:58] the right to sell electricity to the government
[00:06:01] in Pakistan, nor will the government be able to buy it.
[00:06:05] So, today we are bringing the first practical
[00:06:08] implementation of a system, that
[00:06:12] where in Pakistan, those who generate
[00:06:16] electricity and those who consume electricity
[00:06:19] will buy and sell it among themselves through a transparent mechanism.
[00:06:23] This will first reach industrial
[00:06:26] or large users,
[00:06:30] but surely, in a few years,
[00:06:33] the common consumer, the one with 200 units,
[00:06:37] the one with 400 units, a market for electricity
[00:06:41] will be created, where they will be able to buy
[00:06:45] the cheapest electricity of their choice, and the government
[00:06:48] will be out of this mess that we buy and then force
[00:06:52] you to pay our rates. So, this is the first step.
[00:06:56] In this, first, users larger than one megawatt
[00:06:59] will benefit from this, and as soon as this system
[00:07:03] is refined, Inshallah, in the next few years, its benefits
[00:07:07] will reach the common consumer, Inshallah. How will
[00:07:10] industry benefit? Industry will get cheap electricity.
[00:07:14] They will be able to compete in the international market
[00:07:17] by making their production the cheapest.
[00:07:20] Their products will be exported to other countries, and
[00:07:24] they will succeed in getting the cheapest electricity,
[00:07:28] which is a very big expense for them. So, I congratulate
[00:07:32] the nation that the effort we made
[00:07:35] in the last two years has been practically implemented
[00:07:38] with the coming of this advertisement. We have fulfilled the promises
[00:07:43] we made today, and congratulations
[00:07:46] to the Prime Minister and the entire country.
[00:07:49] Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Rahim. Look, there is a system in
[00:07:53] Pakistan today under which all
[00:07:56] the electricity that reaches you is bought
[00:08:00] by the Government of Pakistan and then delivered to you
[00:08:04] through its transmission system. On what terms
[00:08:07] does the government buy it? Is it expensive or cheap? There are IPPs,
[00:08:10] government institutions,
[00:08:12] WAPDA. People have always had questions about it,
[00:08:16] and the name of IPPs has become infamous today,
[00:08:19] that at what rate they bought electricity and at what rate they gave it to us.
[00:08:23] So, for the past 25-30 years, every government has wished
[00:08:27] for it, which has not been implemented till today. And
[00:08:31] this is the first government of Shahbaz Sharif that is
[00:08:35] going to implement this intention of the past 25-30 years
[00:08:38] today. It will be that after today,
[00:08:42] no one will have the right to sell electricity
[00:08:46] to the government in Pakistan, nor will
[00:08:49] the government be able to buy it. So, today we have brought
[00:08:52] the first practical implementation of a system,
[00:08:56] that where in Pakistan,
[00:09:00] those who generate electricity and those
[00:09:04] who consume electricity will buy and sell it among themselves

[00:10:08] to other countries, and they will succeed in getting
[00:10:11] the cheapest electricity, which is a very big expense for them.
[00:10:15] So, I congratulate the nation that the effort we made
[00:10:18] in the last two years has been practically implemented
[00:10:22] with the coming of this advertisement. We have fulfilled the promises
[00:10:26] we made today, and congratulations
[00:10:29] to the Prime Minister and the entire country.
[00:10:33] Many congratulations to them.
[00:10:36] You were watching
[00:10:38] the conversation of Federal Minister of Energy Owais Ahmed Khan Leghari
[00:10:42] from Islamabad. He said that providing cheap electricity
[00:10:45] to the public is a priority. Significant reforms have been brought
[00:10:49] in the power sector. Now the government will not buy electricity.
[00:10:52] Those who generate and consume electricity will buy and sell it themselves.
[00:11:25] and other two and three-wheeled passenger or loader
[00:11:29] vehicles will receive a 500 rupee weekly discount. Now
[00:11:32] two and three-wheelers that are 20 years old instead of 15
[00:11:36] will also be able to benefit from this scheme, meaning those whose
[00:14:26] Politics, economy, from the corridors of power
[00:14:30] to the minds of the public.
[00:18:07] are not at all with them. All those people are sitting there
[00:18:11] and playing this horrifying and dirty game. This is also
[00:18:15] a movement. So, in these circumstances,
[00:18:18] investing here is no ordinary
[00:18:22] act. I congratulate you
[00:18:25] on your efforts, on your trust, on your
[00:18:29] relationship with the State of Pakistan.
[00:18:33] And I say that
[00:18:35] targeting
[00:21:20] Indian airbases 200-300 kilometers inside India,
[00:21:23] completely neutralizing their air force capabilities,
[00:21:27] this was such a brilliant move
[00:21:30] that within a few hours,
[00:21:33] India retreated
[00:21:37] and India
[00:21:40] also stood for a ceasefire. So, this hope
[00:21:43] that I am giving you today,
[00:21:46] that where I mentioned the difficulties,
[00:21:50] there is also this hope that militarily,
[00:21:54] we are strong, thank God, the world
[00:21:57] has seen this
[00:22:01] As a nuclear country, we are a country
[00:22:05] that also has this nuclear capability.
[00:22:09] Fixing the economy is imperative.
[00:22:12] Reducing this inflation is imperative.
[00:22:16] Improving the social order here
[00:22:19] is imperative. And all these
[00:22:23] tasks have to be done
[00:22:26] together. Where we have
[00:22:29] this military superiority,
[00:22:32] there you also saw that
[00:22:37] its role for world peace.
[00:22:40] This is also an encouraging thing that
[00:22:43] when the war between USA and Iran happened,
[00:22:46] you saw the way Pakistan.
[00:23:31] Speaker Punjab Assembly Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan was addressing
[00:23:35] the ceremony. He said that Pakistan demonstrated effective
[00:23:39] defensive capabilities during the tension. The world witnessed
[00:23:43] Pakistan's military and technical prowess. Pakistan's defensive
[00:23:46] capabilities strengthened national defense and confidence. State.
[00:24:21] to you, which will bring you true
[00:24:25] and authentic
[00:24:28] news about politics, from the corridors of power
[00:24:32] to the minds of the common
[00:24:35] people.
[00:24:42] A deep look at the global
[00:24:44] scenario.
[00:25:08] What is truth and what
[00:25:10] is deception?
[00:25:15] You also have the right to know
[00:25:18] the truth, and so do I.
[00:25:24] What are we doing with the truth?
[00:25:26] Justice?
[00:25:33] The truth is that speaking,
[00:25:36] hearing, and tolerating the truth
[00:25:40] is difficult.
