00:00On one hand there is an issue of IPPs, on the other hand there is an issue of over-billing.
00:05The Jamaat-e-Islami is sitting in Islamabad, in Karachi today.
00:08You people have also protested.
00:11Mr. Mufti, the common man wants to know,
00:13with these protests, with these questions, with this pressure that is being put on the government,
00:19can there be any change? Can there be any change? Can there be any relief?
00:25Look, what we are saying is absolutely reasonable and it should be done by the government.
00:31And I think if the government understands it, it will do it.
00:35We are not doing anything like the Jamaat-e-Islami is saying,
00:38to terminate the IPPs and stop giving them money.
00:41If you stop giving money to IPPs, they will stop giving you electricity.
00:45Pakistan's sovereignty will be defaulted.
00:47We are not saying this.
00:48We are saying that for the next four months,
00:51the excess taxes that you are taking,
00:5318% sales tax, 7.5% advance income tax,
00:57apart from this, you are taking one more tax,
01:00you are taking other taxes,
01:02if you stop taking those taxes,
01:04then the bill will have a 24-25% reduction.
01:07And you will not have a loss of more than 10 billion rupees per month.
01:13If you do this for four months, you will have a loss of 40 billion rupees.
01:17What is the big deal?
01:18If the government can't do this,
01:20if the government can't bear the pain of the people,
01:22then that's just wrong.
01:24And no IMF will object to this.
01:26You are reducing your taxes on one side,
01:28and on the other side, you are reducing your expenses.
01:29There is no problem.
01:30But there is a government, Mr. Amitabh,
01:32which was already in a very bad situation.
01:35The economy was a big challenge.
01:37Political instability was a big challenge.
01:39Why is it taking such steps?
01:41Does it make sense to you,
01:43that a government which is already under pressure,
01:46which is already asking questions on Form 45-47,
01:48of a big country,
01:50is taking such steps,
01:52because of which inflation has increased,
01:54when according to you, there are solutions?
01:56See, the government has increased its expenses by 24%,
02:00current expenditures,
02:02after debt service payment.
02:05So, it doesn't increase it by 24%,
02:07if it had increased it by 22%,
02:08or increased it by 20%,
02:09then it would have got a room there.
02:11Last year, you spent Rs. 750 billion on Ph.D.P.
02:17First, you said that you will spend Rs. 1,400 billion.
02:20Then you said that you will spend Rs. 1,100 billion.
02:22What is that thing,
02:24in which you have to spend Rs. 1,100 billion?
02:27If the economy is in such a difficult situation,
02:30people are so worried,
02:31then you should stop at Rs. 700 billion.
02:33You save Rs. 450 billion.
02:36You invest this Rs. 450 billion towards electricity.
02:39It can be less in public taxes.
02:41If you invest Rs. 450 billion in electricity,
02:44then you can pay this towards capacity cost.
02:47But the government, I think, doesn't have two things.
02:50One, they don't realise how difficult it is for the middle class.
02:53But the second thing is that
02:55they have not understood the gravity of the situation.
02:58They are working in the same way,
03:00that leave this issue for next year.
03:02They haven't done any reform.
03:03They have so much support,
03:05from the same page,
03:06support from the SIFC.
03:08They could have done something,
03:09but they haven't done anything.
03:11They don't want to leave any money.
03:12They don't want to reduce MNS funds.
03:13They don't want to reduce MPS funds.
03:15They don't want to reduce the money they have to give to the provinces.
03:19They want to do show projects.
03:21They want to increase the current expenditures.
03:23The only person who is suffering
03:26is the middle class, salaried individual.
03:28From your show projects,
03:29I remembered the glass train,
03:31which you referred to,
03:32about UK electricity,
03:33when you were protesting.
03:36But if you look at the political scenario,
03:39according to Pakistan Tariq-e-Insaf,
03:42in December, he will come back to power,
03:45and Imran Khan will become the Prime Minister.
03:49Due to the mistakes of the government,
03:52or due to lack of foresight,
03:54do you think that this is possible?
03:57Are there any possibilities?
03:59But December is very far away.
04:01It's true.
04:02And for the past 2-3 days,
04:05Khan has been telling the Army Chief,
04:08he made his sister tell him,
04:10which is obviously a very authentic thing,
04:12that the army should be neutral.
04:15First, you know that the neutrals
04:18have been likened to animals.
04:21His social media is saying
04:24that he won't even leave his grave.
04:27And so on and so forth.
04:28There are many strange things.
04:30There is an entire campaign against the army.
04:32Not just the chief,
04:33but against the entire army.
04:35Khan's campaign is on social media.
04:37Obviously, everyone knows that
04:39if Khan gets a hint,
04:40that thing will be over.
04:42So now Khan has taken a positive step.
04:45I would say this.
04:46He is coming towards normalization.
04:48He is coming towards normalization of politics.
04:51That his opponent is not a country's enemy,
04:54nor is he your enemy.
04:55He is an opponent.
04:56Now, if he talks like this,
04:58then he should talk.
04:59But I don't think that
05:00if he is committing,
05:04and what he admitted,
05:07for example,
05:08that on 9th May,
05:09we called for peaceful protest,
05:11then we should move away from it,
05:12that this was a false crack operation.
05:14First, we should move away from it.
05:16So, these things are better.
05:19I think it is better
05:20that if there is some hesitation
05:22in Khan's stance,
05:24then the government should also show hesitation,
05:26and the forces should also show hesitation.
05:28I don't think he is asking for hesitation from the government,
05:30Mr. Ismail.
05:31The government should show it as much as it wants.
05:33But even if the government shows hesitation,
05:35will Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
05:37still be ready to talk to the government?
05:39Because,
05:40one step,
05:41we have moved away from here,
05:42so on the other hand,
05:43we don't want to talk to PMLN,
05:44People's Party,
05:45or MQM.
05:46We are moving away from there.
05:47What do you see?
05:48Look,
05:49the truth is that
05:51it is true that
05:53this government does not have the mandate
05:55that Muslim League had in 2013.
05:57There is no debate on this.
05:59But,
06:00the thing is that
06:01the government and the army
06:02are on the same page.
06:03So, if you talk to the government,
06:04they will say,
06:05what do you expect,
06:06that the Chief of Army Staff
06:07will come to Adiyala
06:08and talk to you?
06:09You should not say such things.
