[00:00:00] People of means like Aamir Altaf,
[00:00:03] people of means like Bhatti Sahib, who
[00:00:07] have been given immense resources by Allah, who have numerous wedding
[00:00:11] halls in China Scheme
[00:00:14] and Ghore Shah, where we are standing,
[00:00:18] they might buy 400 or
[00:00:21] 500 rupees worth of diesel, but all resources should be directed
[00:00:25] towards the person who needs facilities,
[00:00:29] because if everyone has to be given,
[00:01:00] they are trying to end it. Absolutely. We,
[00:01:04] Aamir Sahib, are standing with our small
[00:01:07] fort, fighting a big war. The one
[00:01:11] who wants to lead this war
[00:01:15] towards a permanent ceasefire, may Allah make him successful. Amen.
[00:01:18] This is my prayer.
[00:01:22] The government is fully aware of the people's suffering
[00:01:25] and is also working on it. This
[00:01:28] is also known.
[00:01:34] Despite this, if
[00:01:38] then this is surely a recipe people need to warm their homes, cook
[00:01:41] food on stoves, make tea in winters,
[00:01:45] in November, December,
[00:01:48] January, and then in the blessed month
[00:01:51] of Ramadan in February,
[00:01:53] If we keep and in January, whatever resources are needed
[00:01:56] to supply gas, Shehbaz Sharif
[00:02:02] said before going to the United Nations that make full preparations. Even if a 30 million dollar airplane costs
[00:02:06] 100 million dollars, buy it and provide it to the people so that they don't face difficulties
[00:02:10] in winters and in Ramadan.
[00:02:13] Long live Ali Purez! Long live Shehbaz
[00:02:16] Sharif! Long live Ali Purez!
[00:02:19] Insha'Allah, I will talk about this and then I will take
[00:02:23] your questions after the Azan.
[00:02:26] The government is fully aware of its responsibilities. No doubt.
[00:02:30] With a little patience and tolerance,
[00:02:33] considering the situation in the region, a country like France
[00:02:36] which does not have a shortage of resources, and America
[00:02:42] my guiding principles, which does not have a shortage of resources, if they faced these difficulties,
[00:02:44] we are trying our best within our limited capacity,
[00:02:48] and we will try to provide you protection to the extent possible,
[00:02:52] as a responsible state, instead of pushing the country towards bankruptcy.
[00:02:55] We will try to protect you responsibly. Thank you very much.
[00:02:59] Mashallah.
[00:03:18] there is no other way. So
[00:03:48] achieve exports.
[00:04:00] used to export Vietnam
[00:04:02] used to
[00:04:04] export 2.5 billion dollars. Today,
[00:04:08] Vietnam is exporting 475 billion
[00:04:11] dollars. And we are exporting
[00:04:15] 40 billion dollars. If you look
[00:04:18] at 9 million Pakistanis who are working
[00:04:22] hard abroad. They are
[00:04:25] shedding their sweat. Those
[00:04:28] 9 million Pakistanis
[00:04:31] earn 40 billion dollars
[00:04:34] annually for Pakistan. And their valuable
[00:04:38] foreign exchange is what provides oxygen
[00:04:41] to the Pakistani economy at this time.
[00:04:44] But in comparison to these 9 million,
[00:04:48] the 260 million people sitting at home
[00:04:52] also earn only 40 billion dollars through exports.
[00:04:55] If you combine the exports
[00:04:58] of our services and products,
[00:05:01] it totals 40 billion
[00:05:05] dollars, then you can imagine
[00:05:09] what a big failure this is for our society.
[00:06:12] We need to develop better
[00:06:15] capabilities than our productive capacity.
[00:06:19] If we don't have productivity
[00:06:21] or output that can compete with theirs,
[00:06:25] we can never compete with them on cost. Similarly,
[00:06:28] if our quality doesn't match
[00:06:32] the products of others,
[00:06:34] then even if our price
[00:06:38] is a little lower, we probably won't be able to sustain our market for long.
[00:07:12] The biggest example
[00:07:15] is Nokia and BlackBerry.
[00:07:18] They were the giants of their
[00:07:21] field. They were multi-billion
[00:07:24] dollar companies. But when
[00:07:28] they couldn't understand the market and couldn't adapt
[00:07:32] themselves with the market, then in two
[00:07:35] years, or at most three years, they vanished from the face of the earth
[00:07:39] and went into the dustbin of history. because in these universities
[00:08:38] the private sector brings
[00:08:41] projects and these
[00:08:44] universities conduct research and provide
[00:08:48] new products and new
[00:08:51] ideas to the private sector which they then
[00:08:54] commercialize and earn profit
[00:08:58] from and
[00:09:01] So that's why I believe that
[00:09:04] in Pakistan the auto
[00:09:07] parts Pakistan Association of Automotive
[00:09:10] Parts and Accessories
[00:10:12] I believe that these
[00:10:15] old economic theories that
[00:10:18] just open trade and make the market open
[00:10:22] to everyone, which country.
[00:11:25] China did not industrialize through this path.
[00:11:28] Vietnam did not industrialize through this path.
[00:11:32] India did not industrialize through this path.
[00:11:35] I do not know of any such
[00:11:39] example where a country
[00:11:43] opened its domestic market to foreign
[00:11:46] products and after that
[00:11:50] its industry developed. This is like
[00:11:53] telling a child
[00:11:56] or an infant to compete with an adult.
[00:12:00] How can they do that? But
[00:12:04] the other side of this is
[00:12:07] that protectionism
[00:12:10] cannot be a permanent
[00:12:13] pillar of an economy.
[00:12:18] inefficiency in our economy along with protectionism,
[00:12:22] then we will not be able to compete.
[00:13:25] just stay in one place and keep making
[00:13:28] profits on the balance sheet. If there are any
[00:13:32] concessions for the local industry, then
[00:13:35] as a result we will have to bring
[00:13:38] growth and exports, because
[00:13:43] the only way is that in whatever country
[00:13:47] economic development has taken place,
[00:13:50] which are called newly industrialized economies, which
[00:15:57] I will also arrange a meeting with them so that we can
[00:16:00] preserve this asset of Pakistan
[00:16:03] and the hard work of our industry.
[00:17:07] will also throw it to the importer
[00:17:10] that you will face a loss of 10-15 percent there too,
[00:17:15] for de-industrialization in this country.
[00:17:18] So therefore, when tariff reform takes
[00:17:22] place, one of its principles is to provide a level playing
[00:17:26] field. It is not that you give
[00:17:29] concessions to the importer and disincentivize
[00:17:33] your own industry. Then this cannot be a level playing field.
[00:18:02] can play an important role in development. Promoting value addition in the country's production structure is essential.

[00:23:04] has come to light in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cities Improvement Project.

[00:24:50] and terrorists are going in it and killing people, our youth
[00:24:54] and people, and all the ministers
[00:24:57] are either preparing for September 27
[00:25:01] or what else is there for them in this corruption
[00:25:04] you are talking about? They just say, "Fund us, give us work, we
[00:25:08] are giving work," so no one can collect
[00:25:11] money from their own pocket. And you yourself must have seen
[00:25:15] that the Chief Minister said, "I don't even have 500,000
[00:25:18] of that status." In his
[00:25:22] statement, his assets are not even 500,000. So
[00:25:26] how will he cover these expenses?
[00:25:30] So it is from this corruption, from projects.
[00:25:33] This is their practice for 13 years. In this, you
[00:25:36] see what development work has been done and how much
[00:25:40] our debt was before, and now it has reached
[00:25:43] 8, 9, 15 hundred billion rupees
[00:25:47] for KP. That's because, look,
[00:25:50] how much development was done
[00:25:53] before, and now we have tripled
[00:25:57] our debt. So who ate this? Only
[00:26:00] the three tenures of PTI. No
[00:26:08] school was built, no road was built, they did nothing,
[00:26:11] but the debts have increased so much,
[00:26:15] they have reached billions. This is just and
[00:26:18] only for corruption. They themselves steal and then cry
[00:26:22] "thief, thief" so that people don't look at them.
[00:26:25] If something is happening in the rest of the province, then if we take
[00:26:29] Bati's 8 billion, he said that we will get 8 billion.
[00:27:07] withdraw this 42 billion rupees of Kohistan
[00:27:11] in cash. Now, this is not
[00:27:15] that in the previous tenures, work used to happen,
[00:27:19] the quality of work was not good. Now they are directly
[00:27:22] withdrawing money through cheques, and there is no work,
[00:27:26] and there is nothing in it. They directly say, "Give us 2 billion, give
[00:27:30] us 10 billion" from every project. This
[00:28:02] mega corruption scandal has been exposed. NAB is investigating
[00:28:06] alleged financial irregularities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's 97
[00:28:09] billion rupee urban development project. After a
[00:28:13] short break, you will be able to see headlines.
[00:28:16] Stay tuned.
[00:28:22] Correct. On time.
[00:28:24] Timely.
[00:28:40] Justice and equality are
[00:28:44] and I am confident that with your support
[00:28:48] and cooperation, by adhering to these principles, we
[00:28:51] can make Pakistan
[00:28:52] the greatest nation in the world.
[00:30:10] The attempt by terrorists from India to disrupt
[00:30:13] the peaceful movement of people on the Pakistan Highway near
[00:30:17] Kalat in Balochistan was foiled. Security forces took action
[00:30:20] against the terrorists, killing five
[00:30:24] terrorists and rescuing 23 hostages. A large quantity of weapons,
[00:30:27] ammunition, explosives, and vehicles were recovered. Clearance operations are ongoing
[00:30:31] in the area. The security forces are determined to restore stability.
