00:01:17nor their workers.
00:01:30has been filled with containers and Islamabad
00:01:33presents the scene of a city of containers.
00:01:36First of all, the Jamaat-e-Islami march
00:01:40will reach Islamabad and after that
00:01:43the farmers have also announced
00:01:46and then Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has also announced
00:01:50a march towards Islamabad. But
00:01:53today we will discuss the first march that is going to happen,
00:01:57i.e., the Jamaat-e-Islami march. For
00:02:01discussion, we have with us Mr.
00:02:05Liaquat Baloch, who is the central Vice-Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami
00:02:09Pakistan. Thank you very much for coming.
00:02:12And with him is Dr. Tariq Fazli
00:02:16Sahib, who is the Federal Minister for Affairs. Dr.
00:02:20Sahib, thank you very much too. And Liaquat Sahib, first
00:02:23of all, I would like to know from you, you are a leader
00:02:26of an Islamic party, so
00:02:30why are you causing trouble to the people
00:02:33and the government too? And because of
00:02:36you, these containers have been brought and placed here
00:02:40and roads have been closed. In the name
00:02:43of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Thank you very much, Saleem Shafi Sahib.
00:02:47Look, when governments are doing things
00:02:50correctly, then there is no need for protests.
00:02:53When there is no governance
00:02:56and people do not get relief and people continuously
00:03:01face the burden of the economy,
00:03:04then protest is a natural thing. Now at this time,
00:03:08our issue is that these petroleum products
00:03:11have two phases.
00:03:14One is the international market
00:03:17If the road is closed, price, from where we buy oil. Its
00:03:20fluctuations keep happening. The second thing is that per
00:03:24liter, the government collects approximately
00:03:27106 or 7 rupees
00:03:31from each consumer in the form of levy,
00:03:34customs, climate support,
00:03:38and other duties and taxes.
00:03:41Now, this has a direct impact on
00:03:44the common man. That is,
00:03:47a person with a motorcycle,
00:03:50and the MD-CAT 2026 paper a biker, motorcycles are used in common
00:03:53households. That day the ministry was itself saying that there are
00:03:5720 million motorcycles. Now, those who use
00:04:00them are also affected. Then, when diesel
00:04:03becomes so expensive, it affects goods transport,
00:04:06public transport, railways,
00:04:10agriculture. All these are affected. So, our demand
00:04:14You see that the entire in this regard is that the actual
00:04:18unrest among the people. price of the international market, along with all its
00:04:21expenses, should be collected from the
00:04:24consumer on a real basis. And this
00:04:27additional burden of approximately 106 rupees,
00:04:32you have imposed it because it is a levy. Why have you
00:04:36imposed the levy? Because all this money remains
00:04:39with the federation. Now, they have collected so much that
00:04:43it is approximately 150 billion rupees more
00:04:47than last year's target. Then,
00:04:50there was no climate support levy in the
00:04:54budget, but they included it along the way.
00:04:58They have set a target
00:05:01of 80 billion rupees for it, and they have already
00:05:04collected 50 billion rupees from it. So,
00:05:08our demand is that in all our negotiations
00:05:13so far, there have been approximately five rounds of negotiations, and they
00:05:16have been held in a very good atmosphere. The day before
00:05:20yesterday night was our last round. through the system. At what
00:05:24terms does the government buy it? Is it expensive,
00:05:27cheap? IPPs, government institutions, WAPDA,
00:05:33questions about them. And the name of IPPs has
00:05:36become notorious today, as if electricity was bought at
00:05:40some unknown rate and sold to us at some unknown rate.
00:05:44For the last 25-30 years, every government has wished for
00:05:48this, but it has not been implemented till today. And Shehbaz Sharif's
00:05:51government is the first government that is going to implement
00:05:55this intention of the last 25-30 years
00:05:58today. It will be that after today,
00:06:01within Pakistan, no one will have
00:06:04the right to sell electricity to the government
00:06:08nor will the government be able to buy it. So
00:06:13today we are bringing the first practical
00:06:15step of a system where
00:06:19electricity producers and electricity consumers
00:06:22in Pakistan will buy and sell among
00:06:26themselves through a transparent mechanism.
00:06:29This will first come to industrial or large
00:06:33users and after that, gradually, Inshallah,
00:06:36within a few years, a common consumer,
00:06:40a 200 unit user, a 100 unit user,
00:06:44a electricity market will be formed
00:06:48where they will be able to buy the cheapest electricity of their
00:06:51own free will. And the government will
00:06:55come out of this entanglement that we buy and force
00:06:58you to pay our rates. So this is its first
00:07:02step. In this, users larger than one megawatt
00:07:06will benefit from this. And as soon as this system
00:07:09is refined, Inshallah, its benefits will
00:07:12reach the common consumer in the next few years. How
00:07:16will industry benefit? Industry will get cheap electricity.
00:07:20They will be able to compete in the international market by making
00:07:23their production the cheapest. Their products will be exported
00:07:27to other countries. And they will succeed
00:07:30in getting the cheapest electricity, which is a very big
00:07:34expense for them. So I congratulate
00:07:37the nation that the efforts we made
00:07:41in the last two years have been put into
00:07:45practice with the arrival of this advertisement. We have
00:07:49fulfilled the promises we made today, and the
00:07:53Prime Minister and the entire country are congratulated on this.
00:07:56In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Look, today there is a system in Pakistan
00:07:59under which all the electricity that reaches
00:08:03you in Pakistan is bought by the Government of
00:08:07Pakistan. And then it delivers it to you through its transmission
00:08:10system. The government.
00:08:42If it is looting, then naturally if we keep tolerating it
00:08:46sitting at home, then they will loot us more. If
00:08:50we just keep acting on social media, then they
00:08:53will keep acting on us every day. That is why there
00:08:57is only one way, and that is the way of struggle. There
00:09:00is only one way, and that is the way of coming out in the field. And Jamaat-e-Islami
00:09:04has chosen that way. And Alhamdulillah, for the last
00:09:0836-37 days, the sit-ins that are going on across
00:09:12the country, you saw that a sit-in was held here at Governor House for 35 days,
00:09:15a sit-in is currently going on in Hyderabad, a sit-in is
00:09:19currently going on in Sukkur, a sit-in is currently going on in Mirpur Khas
00:09:23and a sit-in is going on in Larkana.
00:09:27Sindh has joined this movement.
00:09:30A sit-in has started even in Naushahro Feroze, and
00:09:33similarly, when you go to Punjab, the Lahore
00:09:37sit-in which continued for 323 days, now they are marching
00:09:41in Lahore. Similarly, a sit-in in
00:10:25then the protest will end. If the levy extortion
00:10:28continues, then the protest will also increase and it
00:10:32will increase so much that it might turn into a government
00:10:35overthrow movement. That is why I say to the Prime Minister
00:10:39and to the ministers that you come,
00:10:42you talk, you meet,
00:10:45you negotiate, but you do not provide
00:10:49the relief that the people should get. You are troubled by our long
00:10:52march, by our Islam. But you are not troubled by
00:10:56250 million people whom you have subjected to such
00:11:00agony. That is why I want to warn the government
00:11:04that they should immediately provide relief to the people,
00:11:07otherwise we have started. This train march has also started,
00:11:11people are also going by road, this journey has started from all
00:11:14over Pakistan, and then when we reach Islam, then
00:11:18it is not necessary that the situation remains under everyone's
00:11:22control. Then it becomes difficult to unite people and it becomes
00:11:26more difficult because the government itself creates obstacles. The government
00:11:29itself breaks communication. And if communication breaks,
00:11:33then the convoys from KP, the convoys from Balochistan
00:11:36and the convoys from Sindh, if they start moving forward
00:11:40on their own, then the situation will not remain under anyone's
00:11:44control. Therefore, the government should read the writing on the wall.
00:11:47It is not a matter of anyone's ego. Our problem is that
00:11:51this Bhutta tax that has been imposed on the people of
00:11:55Pakistan, this goon tax that has been imposed,
00:11:58this Jagga tax that has been imposed, should be
00:12:02abolished. Now I want all of you to start
00:12:06this march. Our first stop, Kashif Bhai,
00:12:09will be in Hyderabad and after that, people will also welcome
00:12:13us in Digri Road, Landhi, Hyderabad, Tando
00:12:17Adam, Nawabshah, Bandhi,
00:12:20Mehrpur, Biriyani Road,
00:12:23and Rohri.
00:12:55Inshallah, the struggle for the people
00:12:58will change the course of politics in Pakistan. Pakistan's
00:13:02politics currently revolves around personalities, around families.
00:13:06Jamaat-e-Islami is connecting this
00:13:09politics with the people and with the relief of the
00:13:13people. This is a revolutionary struggle that you have waged.
00:13:58In Karachi, the MD-CAT 2026 tax has officially started.
00:14:02The exam duration is three hours. Geo News correspondent
00:14:05Shawala Aslam is reporting from the examination center. Let's
00:14:08know the details from her. At this
00:14:12time, we are reporting from ND University
00:14:15has been officially started. And the students
00:14:19are busy doing their paper. Along with that, a large number
00:14:23of parents are also visible outside the center.
00:14:26And arrangements have also been made for the parents. In the surrounding
00:14:30wedding halls, arrangements have also been made for them to sit and wait.
00:14:34This entire paper is of three hours duration and along with this,
00:14:38an MCQ-based test is being conducted here at this time.
00:14:41Along with this, students were not allowed to bring any electronic
00:14:45items inside. Security arrangements have also been tightened here.
00:14:49It is very hot in Karachi today and it is very humid. Therefore,
00:14:52some arrangements inside are such that many fans
00:14:56are seen off in the examination hall. But the
00:14:59administration of I.A. Sukkur is saying that efforts are being
00:15:03made to resolve this as soon as possible and every possible effort is being made
00:15:07so that the entire three hours pass comfortably for the
00:15:10candidates and they do not have to face any kind
00:15:14of difficulties. Along with this, more than 34 thousand candidates
00:15:18from all over Sindh are participating in this test, out of which
00:15:22approximately 11 thousand candidates are from Karachi. This test is also being conducted
00:15:37but now they seem quite satisfied with all
00:15:41the arrangements. The MD CAT test is being
00:15:45conducted in 15 districts of Punjab for admissions to medical and
00:15:48dental colleges across Punjab, including Lahore. Umme Farwah will give
00:15:52the details. The MD CAT test is being conducted across Punjab,
00:15:56including Lahore, for admissions to medical and dental colleges.
00:15:59The MD CAT test started at 10 o'clock and will continue
00:16:03till 1 o'clock. More than 49 thousand children from all
00:16:06over Punjab have appeared in this test. Similarly, more than
00:16:1012 thousand candidates are giving the MD CAT test in Lahore.
00:16:14Six centers have been established in Lahore and 31 centers
00:16:18have been established across Punjab where this test is being taken.
00:16:21Section 144 has been imposed where these centers
00:16:25have been established. Roads have been closed by putting up barriers.
00:16:29A heavy contingent of police is deployed. Inside the examination center,
00:16:32students were called two hours before the test was taken,
00:16:36through walk-through gates. Besides this, cameras have been installed.
00:16:40And a center has been established at the University of Health Sciences
00:16:43where live monitoring of all these test centers
00:16:46is being done. So today these children are
00:16:50taking the examination for admissions to medical and dental colleges,
00:16:53for those who will do MBBS or who want to get a dental
00:16:57degree. Yes. We inform you that
00:17:00due to heat and fatigue in the house, Chairman SIBA
00:17:04Testing Service Dr. Asif Sheikh
00:19:07arrived and met the father and brother of the martyred
00:19:11Captain and expressed sympathy and condolences. Mohsin Naqvi
00:19:15recited Fatiha for the elevation of the ranks of martyred Captain
00:19:18Hamza Akram. Mohsin Naqvi praised the high morale and spirit
00:19:21of the father of martyred Captain Hamza Akram. Captain Hamza's
00:19:25father said that his other son is also ready for Pakistan.
00:19:29Martyred Hamza has made us proud. If there is Pakistan,
00:19:33there is us. If there is no Pakistan, there is nothing. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that the entire
00:19:36nation is proud of the courage
00:20:08of such a great father as you. The voice of the homeland
00:20:10from afar and your identity, the ambassador
00:20:14of Pakistan, with the team of the ambassador
00:20:17of Pakistan, first
00:20:18and foremost.
00:20:22The ambassador of Pakistan actively works to
00:20:25strengthen the bond between Pakistani Americans across the
00:20:29nation.
00:20:36Important role in American politics.
00:21:20Hello Jio TV and Ambassador Pakistan. Everywhere,
00:21:23you see your own Ambassador Pakistan.
00:21:27Watch
00:21:31only on Geo.
00:21:53Welcome back to the Jirga. Liaquat Baloch
00:21:57Sahib, regarding the High Court's decision, it
00:22:00was stated that no one has the right
00:22:03to block the roads of Islamabad. So
00:22:07how will you people ensure that no road
00:22:11in Islamabad is blocked? The High Court's decisions
00:22:15are, of course, court decisions. Decisions are there, and
00:22:18they are highly respected.
00:22:20But when the government, with its actions, closes
00:22:23people's livelihoods, closes people's
00:22:26stoves, stops their entire movement,
00:22:30and creates the worst
00:22:34problems for people, then I believe that
00:22:37there is a bigger decision than the High Court's
00:22:41decision, which is the Constitution of Pakistan. And the
00:22:44Constitution of Pakistan says that people should have food
00:22:48security, people should have safety, people should have
00:22:51employment, people should have equitable distribution
00:22:55of resources. All these things will be available
00:22:58to the people from this elite class. It is obvious
00:23:02that if a targeted, as they are calling it, subsidy,
00:23:06a targeted solution to problems,
00:23:09which is in the interest of the country, in the interest
00:23:12of the people, for the relief of the
00:23:16people, then it will have an effect. The rulers of
00:23:35and will move further and there will be relief. This is for the benefit of the country.
00:23:39Right, meaning in the past too, these wrong decisions were made
00:23:42and all the projects of IPPs were installed on
00:23:46a higher side, wrongly installed, not according to capacity.
00:23:49And they are useless. But now
00:23:53you don't do that work, you don't take electricity,
00:23:56you are paying them. But given the reasons you
00:24:00stated, in that context, you will not follow
00:24:03the High Court's order.
00:24:07then so be it. I don't think we will close the road
00:24:10or trouble people. We will provide relief to people,
00:24:13Inshallah. How far will your march come?
00:24:17It will come to Islamabad. No, Islamabad is a big
00:24:21Islamabad. Will it come to D-Chowk? Or China
00:24:24Chowk? Or F9 Park? Everyone loves D-Chowk.
00:24:28Okay, people's problem at D-Chowk
00:24:32is that Islamabad belongs to everyone.
00:24:35If people do not get relief from Islamabad,
00:24:38if Islamabad's wrong policies make
00:24:42people's lives difficult, and if
00:24:44suicides are happening among
00:24:48people, a great social disaster is unfolding, and behind
00:24:52this, where the political crisis
00:24:55has its own effect, the effect of stealing
00:24:59the electoral mandate in a democracy, but along with this,
00:25:03a big economic impact is creating a great
00:25:08At this time, our issue is to create ease
00:25:12for people. Sit tonight, resolve this issue today,
00:25:16provide relief to the people, we will reconsider
00:25:20our protest. Okay, Dr. Sahib, Jamaat-e-Islami
00:25:24wants to come to D-Chowk. Will you allow them to come to D-Chowk?
00:25:27Look, on the one hand, Jamaat-e-Islami wants to come to D-Chowk
00:25:31and sit here, and at the same time, they are
00:25:34also saying that they will not close any road in Islamabad.
00:25:38So these are contradictory statements. Sitting in D-Chowk,
00:25:41even if there is a crowd of a few hundred people here,
00:25:45Islamabad is the choke point for traffic in Islamabad.
00:25:48And the presence of people here divides Islamabad into
00:25:52two parts for those who know Islamabad. And this causes
00:25:56such great inconvenience to people that at least
00:26:00no government can allow it. The second thing is
00:26:03that even though your marches have been very peaceful,
00:26:06still, for the safety of families, houses,
00:26:10and population in Islamabad, no risk can be taken
00:26:14to allow any mob to enter the streets of Islamabad city.
00:26:17One question that Mr.
00:26:21asked Mr. Baloch is whether choking Islamabad—let me
00:26:24put it in simpler words— whether choking Islamabad will
00:26:28solve all these problems. If you strangle Islamabad,
00:26:31then what? Will new resources emerge? Will
00:26:35we get a magic wand? Look, to solve these
00:26:39problems, resources are needed. And to bring
00:26:42resources, as I said earlier, no individual
00:26:46is in a position to do so at this time because
00:26:50they say that earlier, you solved the problem of IPPs
00:26:54under such pressure. No, it might be a misunderstanding
00:26:57of Jamaat-e-Islami, with all due respect, that it was done
00:27:01under pressure. The opportunity
00:27:08Our prayer is that you can satisfy them,
00:27:12and that these people do not fall into tribulation,
00:27:16neither the citizens of Islamabad
00:27:20Viewers, with the hope that you will keep us informed
00:27:23of your feedback on the program, I take leave with thanks
00:27:27to Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry Sahib and Mr. Liaquat Baloch
00:27:30Sahib. Allah Hafiz.

00:30:20Protests, sit-ins, road closures, and
00:30:24business closures
00:30:27If these restrictions come upon the economy,
00:30:29we will incur a loss of approximately
00:30:32120 billion rupees daily. The biggest loss
00:30:36is estimated in the services sector, approximately
00:30:4086 billion or 86
00:30:42billion rupees daily. If we go to the industrial
00:30:46sector, the estimate is a loss of approximately
00:30:4925 billion rupees daily. Our agricultural
00:30:53sector, our estimate is that there will be a loss of approximately
00:30:579 billion rupees in it.
