00:00 We were trying to do the same thing in the beginning.

00:03 The problems of the people are increasing day by day.

00:07 How is it increasing?

00:08 When you open the TV, when you watch social media,

00:11 you see everyone taking their electricity bill and giving blessings.

00:16 They tell you.

00:17 Now, Ashfaq, what you were saying yesterday,

00:19 that people have...

00:20 We used to think it was very mathematical,

00:23 which bill is which.

00:24 Now people are asking, what is this extra bill?

00:26 What is this further bill?

00:28 Extra tax, further tax, GST, fuel adjustment, social security.

00:33 I was watching a clip yesterday,

00:34 the gentleman was saying on the extra further bill,

00:36 at least keep the name Jagga Taxi.

00:38 I have seen some pictures,

00:42 693 units for 31,000 bills, this is old.

00:46 If you have 660 units, 661 units,

00:50 then your bill will be 44,000.

00:52 Mark my words, this is an old bill,

00:54 which we are showing here.

00:55 Now it has increased.

00:56 Last month the situation was different,

00:58 this month the situation is different.

01:01 If you have 460, 470 units,

01:03 450 units, then your bill will be between 30, 38, 38.

01:08 Because 100 units have different slabs,

01:10 200 units have different slab units,

01:13 then it increases to 300, then 400 units, 500, 600.

01:16 And this is going on.

01:18 And earlier, the old people, who have increased the price,

01:22 who have gone only a few days ago,

01:24 they are giving advice.

01:25 They are giving advice.

01:25 They are saying increase it from 200 to 300.

01:28 Now the thing is,

01:30 these are the things on which they have to encash.

01:33 The taxis that we were talking about,

01:35 electricity duty is different,

01:37 then GST is different,

01:39 license fees for government TV,

01:42 obviously we have to pay that too.

01:44 Financing costing surcharge.

01:47 Masha Allah, just think of the name.

01:48 I say they should be given a medal,

01:51 who go there,

01:53 what do you call it, the experts,

01:55 they go and think what name to give to tax the public.

01:59 Then after that, there are some people,

02:01 in the class, you know, there are 10 types of students,

02:03 students who are studying,

02:04 some are intelligent, they come with good names,

02:06 like financing costs surcharge,

02:08 then after that electricity duty,

02:09 fuel price adjustment,

02:11 then there are some useless people like me,

02:12 who say that don't pay anything,

02:14 what should people do?

02:15 Extra tax.

02:15 Further tax.

02:17 Okay?

02:18 And then sales tax.

02:19 Again, then income tax.

02:20 So you can imagine,

02:22 because what is the satisfaction,

02:24 that what do the public have to do?

02:26 They have to get beaten up.

02:28 Okay, income tax is a problem,

02:29 if someone lives in a rented house,

02:31 suppose your landlord is not a filer,

02:33 there is a meter in his name,

02:35 you are giving income tax for that too,

02:37 whereas you are already giving tax.

02:38 No, no, no, no, this is not the issue.

02:40 It is not that if your landlord is a filer,

02:42 or you are a filer,

02:43 then the income tax will not come in your bill.

02:45 No, when you go to FVR and get it done,

02:48 then after that you get that refund.

02:50 Maybe.

02:51 Similarly, this tax will come on everyone.

02:52 But how much headache will it be?

02:54 And many people will not even know.

02:55 They don't even know.

02:56 So these are all the problems,

02:57 and we are giving tax on tax,

02:59 we are giving extra tax.

03:00 And what is the problem with this?

03:02 Absolutely.

03:02 That those people who can raise their voice on this,

03:05 who have the power of a pen,

03:07 who have the same power,

03:09 justice,

03:10 there on that side, if we go and see,

03:12 then you get free units there.

03:13 Ashfaq, you are saying that those people who can raise their voice,

03:16 those who can show the respect of the public,

03:18 today they are giving advice,

03:20 those who signed on all these agreements with their pens,

03:23 today they are telling the public what to do.

03:26 And they are giving advice to join the protest.

03:28 Yesterday Sadaf told me that 34 crore units,

03:31 then I confirmed it,

03:32 18 crore rupees,

03:33 according to the current cost,

03:34 they are being distributed.

03:36 They are being given to low level employees,

03:38 instead of 17 to 21 grade officers,

03:40 above that,

03:41 I mean, the monkeys distributed here and there,

03:43 2,000 units are being distributed for free.

03:46 Now let's see how worried the public are,

03:49 let's show you a glimpse of that.

03:51 A woman is saying that her son has a salary of 25,000,

03:55 and a bill of 35,000 has come to his house.

03:57 What should he do?

03:58 So what should such people do,

04:00 whose income is not so much,

04:02 but so many bills are coming to their houses,

04:04 from where will they go and pay,

04:05 their expenses will increase.

04:06 And the line losses are in their place.

04:08 I say that, look,

04:09 if a difficult time comes for a village,

04:12 then in such a situation,

04:13 from the eldest to the youngest,

04:15 everyone should be treated equally,

04:16 and those who are more tolerant, should take more load.

04:19 What is happening here,

04:20 that the elders get free electricity,

04:23 not everyone gets it,

04:24 but you get it, you go and do research,

04:26 you will get the figures.

04:27 These 34 crore units,

04:29 they go somewhere,

04:30 just see, do research, you will get to know.

04:32 Billions of rupees of electricity is being obtained for free.

04:34 That means, one person is getting 200 units of electricity,

04:37 and the other person,

04:39 Now good people are also raising this question,

04:41 that what should we do,

04:42 should we run the fan?

04:43 Many people are saying,

04:45 leave it,

04:46 curse on AC,

04:47 don't run AC,

04:48 in summer we will just stay under the fan.

04:51 But then they give the bill and say,

04:53 that we should not even light a light,

04:54 that we should not even keep the fridge on,

04:55 that we should not even run a fan.

04:57 So what should people do?

04:59 So how to save electricity,

05:01 people are tired of thinking about this,

05:03 that what to do?

05:04 The thing is that,

05:06 now they say that,

05:08 it used to be that,

05:10 the era in which it is difficult to live,

05:12 it is necessary to live in a modern era,

05:14 but now it seems that,

05:15 people are going towards the end of their lives,

05:18 seeing this situation.

05:20 People are so tired of problems,

05:22 that there is no bread available for two meals,

05:25 nor electricity is available at home,

05:28 if you deposit the electricity bill,

05:30 then there is no money left to eat.

05:32 So what to do?

05:34 We want to try a little,

05:36 that it is possible,

05:38 there are some things,

05:39 which can save electricity,

05:41 the electricity bill may be less,

05:43 let's see what is in this package.

05:45 I don't know how this is,

05:48 I have tried everything,

05:49 by adding an extra bulb,

05:51 by lighting a room,

05:53 AC thermostat,

05:55 that means you think,

05:56 you have an inverter,

05:57 despite that,

05:58 you have kept it at 26 or 27,

06:00 24 or 26,

06:02 set the timer,

06:03 nothing is happening.

06:04 What will happen with that,

06:05 your electricity consumption,

06:06 will be reduced,

06:07 units will be reduced,

06:08 but taxes will come,

06:10 that extra tax,

06:11 that further tax,

06:12 that GST,

06:13 that fuel adjustment,

06:14 that sales tax,

06:15 finance costing,

06:16 finance costing,

06:17 God knows what taxes,

06:19 they will come,

06:20 I have seen a bill of a person,

06:22 who used zero units,

06:24 but tax,

06:25 they are thinking of more taxes,

06:27 8000-10,000,

06:28 their bill came,

06:29 do you know,

06:30 they are thinking of more taxes,

06:31 breathing tax,

06:33 why are you not,

06:34 dead tax,

06:35 why were you born tax,

06:38 I am giving suggestions,

06:40 you have to face difficulties,

06:42 do more for the people,

06:43 what else is left,

06:44 here taxes are being imposed,

06:45 you will get something else,

06:46 on the people.

06:47 So, on social media,

06:48 because we are seeing,

06:49 people come and,

06:50 vent their anger,

06:51 and get angry,

06:52 and tell,

06:53 what is happening with them,

06:55 many people are sharing their bills,

06:57 so, that is why,

06:58 we are understanding,

06:59 what is happening with people,

07:00 so, the complaint of expensive electricity,

07:02 is being said,

07:03 that it has reached,

07:04 Allama Iqbal,

07:05 you will be surprised,

07:06 to hear,

07:07 how it has reached,

07:08 so, what happened is,

07:09 that a video,

07:10 of Punjab police,

07:11 has gone viral,

07:12 on social media,

07:13 and complaining to,

07:14 the accused,

07:15 it is being said,

07:16 please,

07:17 get the electricity bill,

07:18 paid,

07:19 so, many such things,

07:20 are being shown,

07:21 on social media.

07:22 I want to do a job,

07:23 in Wabda,

07:24 Ashfaq.

07:25 Yes,

07:26 do you have so much money,

07:27 do you have so much money,

07:28 to pay someone,

07:29 by saving your salary?

07:30 I mean,

07:31 can I apply,

07:32 for merit,

07:33 in today's time?

07:34 You won't get it,

07:35 on merit,

07:36 I won't get it.

07:37 What will you do,

07:38 will you climb on pillars?

07:39 No, I mean,

07:40 I am in some HR department,

07:41 finance department,

07:42 Oh my God.

07:43 such departments,

07:44 they must also get free electricity.

07:45 So, those people,

07:46 who hire others in HR,

07:47 and especially,

07:48 then you can,

07:49 be in a lot of benefit.

07:50 Let's see,

07:51 but,

07:52 I,

07:53 this was a joke,

07:54 but,

07:55 obviously,

07:56 they have reached,

07:57 to the rulers,

07:58 and who is the ruler,

07:59 at this time?

08:00 Nigra.

08:01 The Nigra,

08:02 has been asked,

08:03 to get the election done,

08:04 but,

08:05 he has a very heavy,

08:06 responsibility on his shoulders.

08:07 Now,

08:08 meetings are being held,

08:09 on meetings,

08:10 a meeting was held,

08:11 before this also,

08:12 the Prime Minister had done,

08:13 then he said,

08:14 we will take,

08:15 a strong step,

08:16 in 48 hours.

08:17 Now,

08:18 it is being told,

08:19 the Nigra government,

08:20 does not have a plan,

08:21 at the moment.

08:22 Obviously,

08:23 until the second meeting,

08:24 will not take place,

08:25 if the second meeting,

08:26 will not take place,

08:27 then we will not understand,

08:28 anything.

08:29 The second meeting,

08:30 will be presented,

08:31 in front of the,

08:32 Wifaki Cabinet,

08:33 for the second meeting.

08:34 So,

08:35 what should be done?

08:36 What should the,

08:37 distributors tell them?

08:38 So,

08:39 let us talk about,

08:40 who is responsible,

08:41 the leader of GDA,

08:42 Zahira Bano,

08:43 is present with us.

08:44 Thank you very much,

08:45 for taking out time for us,

08:46 and obviously,

08:47 this is not only the responsibility,

08:48 of the Nigra,

08:49 but,

08:50 there were people,

08:51 before him,

08:52 and before him,

08:53 and in this way,

08:54 the process,

08:55 will go on,

08:56 for a long time.

08:57 Now,

08:58 he has,

08:59 he has,

09:00 he has taken over,

09:01 the Nigra's government,

09:02 there is no mistake.

09:03 Because,

09:04 all the electricity bills,

09:05 all the agreements,

09:06 the summaries of NEPRA,

09:07 and all that,

09:08 were approved,

09:09 by the GDNP Government,

09:10 and how much relief,

09:11 can they give?

09:12 I think,

09:13 they cannot give relief.

09:14 They can talk about,

09:15 the free electricity units,

09:16 but they cannot give relief.

09:17 Because,

09:18 these agreements,

09:19 have been made,

09:20 through the IPP,

09:21 IMS,

09:22 that is,

09:23 the IMS,

09:24 these people,

09:25 they say,

09:26 have cut their hands,

09:27 and given it,

09:28 and,

09:29 they are,

09:30 against the agreement,

09:31 that is,

09:32 I don't think,

09:33 they can give,

09:34 that much relief.

09:35 So,

09:36 tell us,

09:37 that,

09:38 obviously,

09:39 we are in a stand-by agreement,

09:40 with the IMS,

09:41 and,

09:42 when we met the IMS,

09:43 when he was the Minister of Treasury,

09:44 he assured us,

09:45 that the conditions,

09:46 will be followed,

09:47 with strict compliance.

09:48 So,

09:49 now,

09:50 we should understand,

09:51 that difficult decisions,

09:52 are still on the way,

09:53 and ultimately,

09:54 they will be a burden,

09:55 on the people.

09:56 Yes,

09:57 and,

09:58 after this,

09:59 those,

10:00 anchors,

10:01 and,

10:02 sorry,

10:03 those journalists,

10:04 anchors,

10:05 and their members,

10:06 will be found,

10:07 who were,

10:08 celebrating the happiness,

10:09 of getting a loan.

10:10 I have seen the first nation,

10:11 that,

10:12 who,

10:13 got so happy,

10:14 when they got a loan,

10:15 and they,

10:16 declared it,

10:17 a happy future,

10:18 and,

10:19 a country,

10:20 I don't know,

10:21 what they declared,

10:22 that,

10:23 you will get to know,

10:24 slowly,

10:25 slowly.

10:26 I mean,

10:27 the fear,

10:28 is that,

10:29 this September,

10:30 should not be,

10:31 a destructive month.

10:32 It seems,

10:33 that it will be a destructive month,

10:34 and it will be even more destructive,

10:35 but,

10:36 the way,

10:37 the inflation is increasing,

10:38 the people's patience,

10:39 is over.

10:40 We want,

10:41 to show restraint,

10:42 we want,

10:43 that,

10:44 the protest,

10:45 is obviously,

10:46 everyone's right,

10:47 but,

10:48 it should not be violent.

10:49 So,

10:50 the protest,

10:51 and the public reaction,

10:52 that is coming,

10:53 what will you comment on that?

10:54 It is obvious,

10:55 that the public reaction,

10:56 will be very violent,

10:57 and,

10:58 no one can,

10:59 feed their children,

11:00 the children,

11:01 cannot pay,

11:02 the school fees,

11:03 will all the money,

11:04 go to the electricity,

11:05 and,

11:06 the medicines,

11:07 cannot be used,

11:08 and,

11:09 the way the petrol prices,

11:10 have increased,

11:11 and,

11:12 you know,

11:13 that we have a lot of,

11:14 things that are needed,

11:15 these two things,

11:16 are attached to the prices.

11:17 After that,

11:18 the fear,

11:19 and,

11:20 Allah is the greatest,

11:21 that,

11:22 people,

11:23 say,

11:24 that,

11:25 if you are not there,

11:26 the law will not take you,

11:27 in its hands.

11:28 Thank you very much,

11:29 Sahira Bano,

11:30 for being in the assembly,

11:31 you were the only voice,

11:32 that spoke there,

11:33 and,

11:34 we still see you,

11:35 on the television screen,

11:36 talking about the public.
