00:00:00The government says that because there was a war,
00:00:03we increased prices. Okay, even if you increased prices because of the war, what
00:00:07does this levy have to do with those prices, which they have to collect as a protection
00:00:11tax and a land tax from us? And 1900 billion
00:00:15rupees they have to take from students, common people,
00:00:18laborers, farmers whose income is not taxable. They are paying
00:00:22so much money in the name of petrol levy.
00:00:25They also impose it on diesel, which makes public transport and goods transfer
00:00:29difficult. They are not ready to accept it. They say there is pressure
00:00:32from the IMF. But it also tells you many other things: reduce your luxuries,
00:00:36reduce your expenses. You don't do that. A plane worth 11 billion rupees was bought by a madam,
00:00:40a car worth 90 million was bought by a chairman of the Senate. This is what
00:00:43the public's peaceful protest is not only a right for the people,
00:00:47but it is also necessary to put pressure on the government. Otherwise, they don't listen.
00:00:51Now you see, it's a very important point, Hamid Mir Sahib. From
00:00:55February 20 to February 28, the war started on February 28. From
00:00:59February 20 to 28.
00:01:21too. And it is their right
00:02:09At 510 locations, if you close roads tomorrow,
00:02:12please educate the people so that they don't come
00:02:17in this way. out at that time. What time will you start closing the roads?
00:02:20And Karachi, Lahore, Islam
00:02:22abad, Peshawar, Quetta, the big cities of
00:02:26Pakistan. So will you tell us a little bit about which places you will close?
00:02:31Tiny Lado is one of Look, we have set the time at 4 PM.
00:02:34We have not called for a strike. The traders themselves say that they are
00:02:37ready for a strike, but we have said that if the government does not accept that call, then we will give
00:02:41it later. For now, please come to the streets. And
00:02:45look at this. All the cities you mentioned, be it Islamabad, Lahore,
00:02:49Peshawar, Karachi, Quetta, everywhere. In Balochistan, it will be done at 18 locations,
00:02:52including Quetta, Insha'Allah. And this will also show
00:02:56that Balochistan will also be included in the mainstream.
00:03:30In Peshawar, similarly, on their main road, it is there, similarly in Gujranwala,
00:03:34we will come to the main road, we will come to Sahiwal, we will come
00:03:37towards Bhai Phero, similarly in South Punjab, we will come on the main roads,
00:03:41in Multan, we will come on Boston Road, similarly, all the places
00:03:45that I remember right now, I am telling you. Our model is that
00:03:48young people come, students come, laborers, farmers, common people come and turn
00:03:52off their motorcycles and become a part of this protest and if
00:03:56the government does nothing about this, then Insha'Allah nothing will happen.
00:04:00If an ambulance comes, we will give it way. We will appeal to the public to become
00:04:03a part of our protest. Insha'Allah, we will be on the roads and the whole of Pakistan
00:04:07will be peaceful at the same time. Yes, one question is that you know that
00:04:11Islamabad, I am only talking about Islamabad right now, here
00:04:15a law has been made for protest. This
00:04:18assembly has made this law and when they impose Section 144,
00:04:22which has been going on since the British era,
00:04:26then people get arrested on the charge of violating it.
00:04:30So if young people get arrested, will this
00:04:34not be a violation of the law? No.
00:04:36ہوگی؟
00:04:39Look, it is the responsibility of the one who misuses the law, isn't
00:04:42it? Peaceful political protest, coming to the streets,
00:04:46this is our right, isn't it? This is the right of the people.
00:04:50You have blocked the highways of our economy. You have blocked the arteries of our life.
00:04:54Look at the situation all around, these people have made life hell
00:04:57in this country. You see. Just imagine the plight of a common
00:05:01man. When the electricity bill comes, it drops like a bomb.
00:05:04If a person pays 150 rupees tax on every liter
00:05:08of petrol, a person riding a bike uses 6 liters of petrol,
00:05:11you tell me that in 6 liters, 125 into 6,
00:05:15calculate it, this is approximately 750 rupees of tax
00:05:18he is paying on a daily basis whose income is not taxable.
00:05:21Oh brother, what is the fault of the student who goes to university, he is
00:05:25not earning anything, so those who are not earning have paid a levy of 1900 billion
00:05:29rupees, and the feudal lords and big landlords who have hundreds of acres
00:05:32of land have not even deposited 12 billion rupees in the whole of Pakistan.
00:05:36This is elite capture, so you tell me that if we keep watching
00:05:39their 144, then these people also indulge in luxuries.
00:05:50And this is an illegal and wrong use of 144 that the government
00:05:53does things according to its will and it cannot be accepted.
00:05:57On August 8, an organization
00:06:00of transporters, named All Pakistan Goods Transporters
00:06:04Alliance, has also called for a protest
00:06:07on August 8. So will you also support them?
00:06:10Do you have coordination with them?
00:06:18Look, protest is their right too. They are also worried that, of course, the prices of everything
00:06:22increase, so they are also worried. We are in constant contact
00:06:25with them. This is an announcement from their organizations mainly
00:06:29in Karachi, and people from Punjab are also joining in, and people from other parts of the country
00:06:34to raise their voice. But we announced
00:06:38this protest seven days ago, and right now,
00:06:41it is happening all over Pakistan. Young people have come out and they
00:06:45are contacting people. Look, I want to say again that we want to remain peaceful.
00:06:48We want to protest peacefully. It is the government's
00:06:52job not to let this peaceful protest fall victim to any kind of adventure.
00:06:56Jamaat-e-Islami is an organization of the whole of Pakistan. They are organized
00:07:00people. Everywhere, Alhamdulillah, we have support, and especially since
00:07:03this is a public issue, we are not raising our voice for our own party or our own leader.
00:07:07This protest is not for Naeem-ur-Rehman, is it? This is for 25
00:07:11crore people of Pakistan. This is for crores of youth of Pakistan.
00:07:14Therefore, I want to warn the government that if it tries to do any adventure,
00:07:18then Jamaat-e-Islami also knows other ways which we do not want to use.
00:07:22We know how to spread this protest, Alhamdulillah. And we know
00:07:25how things are then spread
00:07:29It shouldn't be that this movement to reduce petrol prices
00:07:33turns into a movement to overthrow the government. So Shehbaz Sharif Sahib
00:07:37should avoid this and give us the right to peaceful protest.
00:07:40Okay, Hafiz Sahib.
00:07:42You are talking about the government, so yesterday in our program,
00:07:45the Prime Minister's advisor, Rana Sanaullah Sahib,
00:07:49was present. I asked him that Jamaat-e-Islami is closing roads on August 7,
00:07:53so what do you think about it? He
00:07:57replied, listen to that if you don't mind and then if you deem
00:08:00it appropriate, give a reply. Sanaullah Sahib, Jamaat-e-Islami
00:08:04generally does not make such announcements, but now they are saying
00:08:07that on August 7, we will close all the highways
00:08:11of Pakistan. So this announcement has
00:08:15not been made?
00:08:19Does Jamaat-e-Islami sometimes make such announcements
00:08:23but does not act upon them? Okay, so you
00:08:26have made this announcement with them, but on August 7, you will not act
00:08:29upon it. So Hafiz Sahib, he said that you have announced to close
00:08:33roads on August 7, but he thinks that you
00:08:37will not act on it.
00:08:40So August 7 will also come, won't it? Then Insha'Allah, your program will also happen.
00:08:43Then call Rana Sanaullah Sahib and ask him. Look, of course,
00:08:47they are in the government and they should talk like that
00:08:51perhaps, but the thing is, what is the issue?
00:08:55The issue is the public. The issue is the people who are dying on a daily basis.
00:08:59Address that. We started talks with IPs.
00:09:02We talked to 17-18 IPs. It was beneficial. As a result,
00:09:06electricity bills decreased. First, they used to say, when we started the sit-in, you
00:09:10also remember, you also did a program, so
00:09:42you are collecting from them, so tell me, you are collecting money
00:09:46from the nation in a specific way, but you are
00:09:50not using it. Okay, you gave us figures
00:09:53that in February, that
00:09:57is, in February 2026, the price of petrol
00:10:00in the international market was
00:10:03$72 per barrel, and at that time,
00:10:07the price of petrol was 258 rupees per liter. That's what you said,
00:10:10didn't you?
00:10:29And the protest you are doing tomorrow, how much do you want
00:10:32the government to reduce the price of petrol
00:10:36and diesel so that you will be happy
00:10:39and satisfied? Look, our demand right
00:10:42now is that 225 rupees is the figure that is possible
00:10:46right now. I mean, this is not something like that. They are getting
00:10:49it for 209 rupees or approximately 213 rupees ex-refinery.
00:10:53This is something
00:12:25from a liter to 225 rupees per liter will not come,
00:12:28then we will not leave the streets. Are you saying
00:12:31that? I am saying that we will come to the streets,
00:12:34we will protest all over Pakistan. We will see the situation at that time.
00:12:38It is also possible that we tell people to prolong it, and it is also possible
00:12:42that we start sit-ins at some other specific places
00:12:45and call off at other places, but we will consult at that time.
00:12:48It also depends on the government. If the government messes up, then these 510
00:12:52places can become 1510. It's a simple matter.
00:13:25Our forum is present, they can give their point of view
00:13:29here. Here we will take a break, after the break we will meet again.

00:19:42Welcome back to Capital Talk, and finally, we will talk about a story
00:19:46published in the British newspaper The Guardian.
00:19:50The story is about a newly elected
00:19:54member of the Azad Kashmir Assembly,
00:19:57Mr. Rukhsar Ahmed, a former Pakistani minister on bail
00:20:00over child rape in
00:20:031990. So, regarding this story,
00:20:06we tried to contact him,
00:20:08but we couldn't. But for more details,
00:20:12since this story was published in Britain, we contacted
00:20:16our special correspondent in London, Mr. Murtaza Shah. So,
00:20:20let's ask Mr. Murtaza Shah what
00:20:23are the details, did he talk to Mr. Rukhsar,
00:20:26and did he talk to the concerned police officials?
00:20:30Yes, Mr. Murtaza Shah, what information do you have?
00:20:32Rukhsar Ahmed will have
00:20:36to appear before the Manchester police
00:20:39next month. His bail is currently on police bail, and he will have to appear
00:20:43before the police to extend his bail or get an update on his case.
00:20:47He will have to appear there.
00:20:53I contacted him, and he said that he would not talk about this case at all.
00:20:56That is also wrong. He also said that regarding
00:21:00the police bail claim, he said that
00:21:03Rukhsar Ahmed cannot go to the police station
00:21:06by force. If the police have not yet he said that he has not received
00:21:10any indication from the police that he has to appear before the police.
00:21:13He has confirmed that he was arrested,
00:21:17but he says that he is innocent at this stage. He has
00:21:21not been charged, his trial has not taken place,
00:21:24and since his trial has not taken place, no accusation can be proved
00:21:28yet. But he said that his client, Rukhsar Ahmed,
00:21:32has rejected all the allegations against him in the police interview
00:21:36and that he believes that all these allegations
00:21:39are wrong. Chaudhry Rukhsar,
00:21:43in the elections held in Azad Kashmir, took a lead of approximately seven
00:21:47to eight thousand when Manchester
00:21:54police said that they would not give
00:21:58any statement, and the police said that they would not comment
00:22:01on all the questions being asked.
00:22:05Okay, thank you very much, sir. We also contacted Mr. Rukhsar,
00:22:09but he did not give any reply in this regard.
00:22:12Anyway, there are many allegations and many questions,
00:22:16and according to our information, some other British newspapers
00:22:51sight? What? You didn't check Trivago? I got mine
00:22:54for 130. You have to check Trivago. Oh yeah, prove
00:22:58it. On Trivago, you can compare hotel prices from multiple different
