00:00How is this a stupid announcement?
00:03The Prime Minister of one province has spent money from one fish in his own province's budget and put it in the other's budget.
00:09Whether you like it or not.
00:12But is it even necessary to comment on this?
00:14Isn't it the same that the Prime Minister says that we will build a bridge at such and such place?
00:18And the Prime Minister of Punjab says that this is a stupid announcement.
00:21You will say that it is our wish, it is our money, we are elected representatives.
00:24We will decide what to do and what not to do. Why are you commenting on this?
00:30In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
00:32Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala Muhammad.
00:35Look, this is the reality.
00:39If a province is giving relief to its people,
00:48then obviously no one should object to it.
00:55I would like to say that the words spoken by the CM were harsh.
01:06But he wanted to say something else.
01:09This is the reality.
01:10Is this your opinion, Mr. Nasir?
01:12Or did you talk to Mr. Murad and he has also said that what he didn't want to say has been communicated?
01:17Look, he is my chief minister.
01:22He is my boss.
01:24I know how he is.
01:26He never talks like this.
01:28But what was the issue?
01:30First of all, I would like to say that these were harsh words.
01:36If it was a stupid thing or whatever was said,
01:40I would say that such words should not have been used.
01:44But whatever was said by our respected sister, Maryam Sahiba,
01:53what can be said about it?
01:56But that was also not appropriate.
01:59And a lot can be said about it.
02:02Like my respected friend, Mr. Sharjeel Memon said,
02:05that harsh words can be said.
02:07But we don't need to think that such statements should start.
02:13What was the issue?
02:14The issue is that there is a big problem of electricity tariffs and the people who are suffering.
02:21We had planned.
02:23Obviously, our leadership said,
02:26President Asim Ali Zardari, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari,
02:31and even the Prime Minister is very serious about this issue.
02:36I can hear your voice.
02:38I can hear your voice.
02:39Your voice is disconnected, but I can hear your voice.
02:42So, the request was that everyone was involved in this.
02:47We had made a plan, which Mr. Murad Ali Shah himself worked very hard on.
02:52Because he has also been the Minister of Energy for a long time.
02:56And he has a lot of know-how.
02:59So, we made a plan together,
03:02that the permanent tariffs should be reduced.
03:07For example, Punjab has set aside funds of 45 billion for its people.
03:17Our share in this sharing is 10 billion.
03:25And 8 billion on KP.
03:29And 2 billion on Balochistan.
03:32So, this is about 65-67.
03:36If all four provinces put this money in the IPPs.
03:44Our work is that if we pay 72-74 billion there,
03:54then everyone's bills will be 5 rupees less.
03:594 rupees 80 paisa.
04:02And there was a figure of about 5 rupees, which was permanent.
04:06Was there an understanding among you that
04:09Punjab should put its share, Sindh should put its share,
04:13everyone should put their money together,
04:15so that this amount is made, so that the bills of the whole of Pakistan…
04:17Was this discussion going on?
04:19We started working on this.
04:22It came from our leadership.
04:24It was an assessment that all the consumers of all four provinces
04:29and all the units they use, this was a working.
04:34But that 75-77 or 72, I have a figure,
04:40that we had to pay a billion.
04:42Even Wafaaq knows this.
04:44The issue is that Wafaaq himself is very serious.
04:47There is no doubt about this.
04:49Whether it is the Prime Minister or the other allies of the government
04:54or the supporters of the government,
04:56they all want that the bills should be less.
04:59How many units were being used?
05:03Up to 500 units.
05:06From zero to 500.
05:08So the one who will use from zero to 500 in the whole of Pakistan,
05:10he will get 5 rupees less per unit.
05:12Yes, he will get less.
05:14The second thing is that even now,
05:16let me just clarify one thing,
05:18that 50 billion has already been given
05:21to the consumers from zero to 200,
05:25to reduce the bills of the protected consumers,
05:30who are already present in this.
05:32So if all this is added up,
05:34then people would get less.
05:36And the second big issue, as you know, is of the IMF too.
05:40So we have to think about all these things
05:44so that we can move towards improvement.
05:47But Mr. Nasir, this was your proposal.
05:49We have also started a project for the Solar Park.
05:51If all this was going on,
05:53then the CM of Punjab or the Punjab government
05:55was not restricted, right?
05:57Because no such decision had been made.
05:59So you are criticizing their decision.
06:02It is like you say that we will make four bridges,
06:05run two metros,
06:06and they say, what a stupid decision.
06:08Or if they say stupid,
06:09you can take back your words.
06:12Yes, Mr. Wasim,
06:13that is why I started the conversation with this,
06:18that the words were harsh,
06:20and we should not have used them.
06:22Okay, fine.
06:23Mr. Afnan,
06:25let me ask you a few questions.
06:29First of all,
06:31this must not be surprising to people
06:33that such a harsh statement has been made.
06:35Because Mr. Nasir is himself saying that it was a harsh statement.
06:37It should not have been said.
06:39So Maryam Bibi has said
06:41that she thinks the People's Party is corrupt.
06:43And she thinks that the people's money
06:45is spent on entertainment and protocols.
06:47So this means that you have taken the support of corrupt people
06:51to run your government.
06:55Yes, in the name of God.
06:57Look, the thing that Mr. Nasir has said on this matter,
07:03there is no room for further discussion on it.
07:07We are coalition partners.
07:09Okay, then you say that Maryam Bibi has also said some harsh words.
07:13It would have been better if she had not said them.
07:15So that the matter can be resolved.
07:17I am saying that what Mr. Nasir has said,
07:19there is no need to dwell on it anymore.
07:25I will definitely say that
07:27our two-month proposal,
07:31which is being said to be for two months,
07:33the reason for this is that
07:35if the winters come after two months,
07:37then the electricity consumption will decrease.
07:39So that is why it has been planned in this way.
07:43And as far as she has said,
07:45if all the provinces and alliances
07:49jointly provide subsidies,
07:51then that is a good thing.
07:53And it can be reviewed.
07:55But of course, there is the IMF program
07:57and there are other issues as well.
07:59Mr. Nasir, you are smiling a lot.
08:01And obviously, Mr. Nawaz Sharif himself
08:05thought it was appropriate to sit in this press conference.
08:07There is no violation in this.
08:09Of course, there is no legal violation.
08:11But this is an appropriate gesture.
08:13Mr. Nawaz Sharif is a national leader.
08:15This was a decision of the provincial level,
08:17which is a good decision in my opinion.
08:19But the CM of Punjab,
08:21the Chief Executive of Punjab,
08:23makes decisions.
08:25There are no good optics,
08:27Mr. Nawaz Sharif.
08:57This will provide relief to all the people of Pakistan.
09:01This has been done because
09:03we believe that there should be progress in the whole of Pakistan.
09:07Electricity bills should come down in the whole of Pakistan.
09:11And for that, we will continue our work.
