00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, Sangeeta Sahiba.
00:02Assalam-o-Alaikum, how are you?
00:04Sangeeta Apa, it is very difficult to tell how are you.
00:07I was thinking that if I talk to you,
00:09I should ask you how is the film industry in Pakistan?
00:12How can we improve this industry?
00:14How can we make good movies?
00:16But you can imagine that
00:18I am sitting here and talking to Sadaf every day.
00:21I am comparing what was the bill last year
00:23and what has blown our minds this time.
00:25Have you seen, Surya Tehal,
00:27where will this electricity bill stop?
00:29What do you think?
00:31And the way the rates have increased,
00:33is it still affordable?
00:35Even for the middle class,
00:37it is not affordable to pay the bill.
00:39Absolutely, I am thinking
00:41that we should go to the jungles
00:43where there is no electricity.
00:45And where people used to live
00:47200 years ago,
00:49we should not stay there.
00:51Because there is so much tax on everything.
00:53Just like there is a tax on the one
00:55who comes once in a while,
00:57there is a tax on everything.
00:59There used to be a bill of 200,
01:01now there is a bill of this much.
01:03There is a bill of water,
01:05but there are cankers in Karachi.
01:07This is a waste of water.
01:09This is a mafia of water.
01:11They have done one thing,
01:13they are giving water through cankers.
01:15That is obvious.
01:17Thank God it is not here in Lahore.
01:19But it seems that it will happen here too.
01:21Now this electricity bill
01:23has troubled me a lot.
01:25I have never received a bill
01:27like this in my life.
01:29How much did you receive this time?
01:31Rs. 60,000.
01:33How much did you receive on a daily basis?
01:35Normally,
01:37I used to receive
01:39Rs. 36,500 last month.
01:41Oh.
01:43That is a sudden spike.
01:45And you are saying
01:47that you have tried
01:49not to overbill
01:51and not to have any other problem.
01:53Have you tried to overbill?
01:55No, I don't understand anything.
01:57I came to Lahore for a shooting.
01:59I told my son
02:01to go and come back.
02:03So that half of the money
02:05is sent back.
02:07What should I do?
02:09I don't understand anything.
02:11I do a comparison.
02:13Every month,
02:15they do a slow poison.
02:17Now they say to kill at once.
02:19Now you know at once.
02:21Last time,
02:23I received Rs. 27,000.
02:25Last time,
02:27I received Rs. 7,000.
02:29Now,
02:31I don't know what will happen
02:33next year.
02:35They will ask you to pay
02:37your salary directly.
02:39Yes,
02:41due to inflation,
02:43more than 2 lakh people
02:45have left Pakistan.
02:47This is the only reason.
02:49In our country,
02:51food and electricity bills
02:53have never increased.
02:55They have given us the courage
02:57to live.
02:59But here,
03:01they have made us
03:03commit suicide.
03:05What will a person do?
03:07Will he eat food or pay the bills?
03:09I don't know
03:11what will happen
03:13to middle class people.
03:15This is my question to you.
03:17Mr. Rashid Mehmood
03:19has been viral.
03:21He is saying that
03:23he can't afford a bill of Rs. 45,000.
03:25So, the government
03:27says that those
03:29who earn less are more affected.
03:31But here, we see that
03:33middle class and upper middle class
03:35are affected by inflation. Is it true?
03:37Yes, it is true.
03:39What should a person do?
03:41Why are they doing this?
03:43I don't know what has happened to them.
03:45They are taking our blood.
03:47They are taking our blood.
03:51If you want to take tax,
03:53take it from the rich people.
03:55They don't care about these things.
03:57But middle class
03:59and upper middle class people
04:01who earn Rs. 800 per day
04:03or Rs. 1000 per day,
04:05their bills are increasing.
04:07That is also a problem.
04:09But if the rich people
04:11don't care,
04:13they are sitting everywhere.
04:15They are protecting their interests.
04:17Here, you were saying that
04:19we will go out of the country.
04:21Now, you see that the tax
04:23that has been imposed on the flights
04:25to go abroad,
04:27people will think about it.
04:29Earlier, they were afraid of electricity.
04:31Now, they are afraid of not getting a bill.
04:33Yes, it is like that.
04:35They have increased the rents so much
04:37that nothing is happening.
04:39May Allah have mercy on us.
04:41Thank you so much, Sangeeta ji.
04:43You took out the time.
04:45When the voice is raised like this,
04:47people relate to it.
04:49The pain of a common man
04:51reaches the people.
04:53May these voices reach.
