11:36 am
parties opposing each other. neither of them thinking about what is actually good for the nation off a box. but super, just to, you know, a mass all the, as much as, as many votes as they can. what they're doing is using these narratives, which i've always worked. one is using the religion god, and the other is using the anti america narrative, making it sound as if there is some kind of or an involvement that is leading to the one leadership being replaced by the other, which is not true. so that is to here is take, what is yours for new cheap right now, you can be part of this discussion. the comment section is live looking forward to hearing about your take on politics in pakistan today. ah, and i saw an under marie's sake to have you on the street trying to work out what is going on in pakistan's politics right now. as i get to see you, thanks for joining us. please introduce yourself to our internet audience. i my

11:38 am
saw you stop festival. if you could explain it very briefly for off. how did we get to warm? let me tell you that. prime minister should eve, should boss judy who is the new prime minister of pakistan. husband bought it in for the 1st time, but this is not the 1st time that that should he families and bothered. and in fact, this is the 4th time of the bath 30 years or so that shall sharif or be his elder brother. last year he was in a wooden ball with the prime minister of pockets done. and the entire episode has culminated not only from a vote of confidence, as you explained in your interview as your plane and your introduction, but also to some involvement of the supreme court. and most importantly, perhaps, according to him, ron hahn, the former prime minister and his political party and the board to the guide episode as culminated out of an interference as he calls it, an illegal and defied and into pakistan and saw the vanity in progress on domestic
11:39 am
concert useful structure by none other than, than american a diplomat. and because he's named, it's also be a free to talk about it. as it turns out about, about a couple of weeks ago and mankind in a public, riley in buckets done and waved a piece of paper and said that pakistan had referred you to an official communication thought. can i? i'm going to just at this moment, just say, let's see him wrong, can't do that. where he said, for an interference, the u. s. is interfering with politics. they're trying to remove me from my position as prime minister. let's go back to that moment. let's take a look hot, whatever is the proof. i am showing everything. i am not going into further details because my effort always is to safeguard national interest. the gara hummadi macbeth efforts are being made to dislodge the government
11:40 am
in our country by a funding being channelled into pakistan from abroad in one of the feel good. now good courses. so what i'm thinking about as, as women would like to hear a little bit hello. she said, this is just politics as usual. this is how politics plays out in pakistan. um, are you surprised? are you shocked? is this different? you know, she's not entirely wrong, although i will say that the last 5 days have been something out of house of guards of game of thrones on netflix pakistani version. you know, i think the sort of short summary that you gave actually did not in gout city was, could not possibly encapsulate but then of twists and terms and drama that we've seen the clip that we just saw of him on han, on 27th martin, which he, we've this letter, he said at the time it turned out to be a cable that a diplomat based in the u. s. had sent to pakistani or the pakistani foreign office
11:41 am
claiming that the u. s. a was interfering in pakistani politics and back he went further. you said that they were trying to effect, redeem change, remove him, ran han and, and threatening him were dire consequences. the consequence would be in mannheim to be removed through that void of no confidence, a tooth you know, with an alliance of opposition parties. but you know, there was breathless drama because when the vote of no confidence was filed in mount han came out with his claim a very b eventually when the 1st day when the vote of confidence conference was supposed to be held in mon hunt. but they had, they had, the speaker of the national assembly dramatically said that that he is a, he agreed that there was a foreign conspiracy around hon immediately about, you know, 510 minutes afterwards. address the nation. said that he's sent an invite to the president to dissolve the assembly number and that was the end of that. so just yeah, months we had weeks of build up to this and then suddenly it was all over within 20
11:42 am
minutes i counted, i'm just wondering the people pakistan did they believe that there's a foreign plot to remove a mancha, did they by that this his support is absolutely do are we saw that the day he was removed, which is the 11th of march the next day on sunday. they were, you know, a large number of protests held across the country, particularly and got out to you. i'm sitting and sports while in his organic protest in the sense that they were know there's a leadership present and they were denouncing the us. they were announcing the opposition and i think very key denouncing the military establishment as well, which i think is interesting. so his supporters definitely see this as a collusion between the us or the military establishment and or certain that his quarters within the military establishment as well as the opposition alliance. ok, however, i mean, i would like to see if falls on this because there was a poll conducted by gallop, which said that most people are very thin majority. but a majority of pakistan is don't think that iran han was removed because of
11:43 am
a foreign conspiracy. but because then inflation that may have changed. now i think our fresh paula survey is due, but that's where we are. i'm just looking marie's at some of the marches, the spontaneous marches that have sprung up and, and rallies in support of the former prime minister in wrong cancer. that's right here on my laptop. but i'm just interested in what i minister sharif said on monday as he was accepting that new job of prime minister. i'm just going to play a quick because he was very critical of the previous administration here he is. and then i'd like to immediately comment of the back of it or they are gonna get you to video like a god knows what kind of change this last government was which destroyed everything destroyed the economy. destroyed our society. mister speaker, let me tell you that this will take years to make things better and to make these things better. we need unity among us. if we are to unite them with the grace of
11:44 am
god, we will be able to achieve destination for our country started j. o. i think what she actually is pointing towards is that in ron was an experience that he had an experience team around him that he had a bunch of friends around him. he was nepotistic and his most critical appointments which led to the economic crisis that perhaps would have come about any way due to the external circumstances of pakistan and the larger economic problems, but perhaps not as badly and not as quickly as it did. and in my car wouldn't have been seen to be floundering as badly as we had a more competent set of people around him. or had he listened to the experienced people around him. i think just to add onto a comment that on the inside of been talking about visit the the foreign hand and the conspiracy look i think it has played regardless of who are his prime ministerial. durham was. he's played this last month really when it's been one of
11:45 am
those weeks few weeks where decades happen. and by the time and in this timeline, what he squeezed and managed to do is make our favorite america. he's managed to make it his own village, to the exclusion of the opposition. and he's managed to bring in a conversation about how he was taken off the most boss and seat in the country are supposedly the most powerful seat in the country by the americans. without pointing to wasn't necessarily that implicates which is the military establishment and he's left it to everyone else to infer that that's what he means. he's not red line. he's not going to be distract, distract from, from the inflation. because we've seen in the last since 2019, a pockets on inflation has steadily increased, in fact, compared to india. for instance, since 2019 focus on inflation rate has increased by 30 percent of india has gone by
11:46 am
minus 19 percent food, food inflation and back on has been, it's astonishingly high. and that's actually one of the key this in dire sort of a foreign conspiracy of the us. i mean, all the other side, you know, if i booked, then we just finished. let me just finish that. but you know, this entire book, it's actually really successfully and as ways point to have a cleverly distracted, really successful, but you have to also give them. you also have to give him that a little. i'd like to take. you show me all, let me, let me get some sites facade thought. go ahead. let me, let me take the other side of the argument on this, both with the other and more you. the truth is that it's probably true that american defendants in developing countries or, or, or developing countries, develop countries in defense and developing countries takes place all the time in terms of what the objectives should be, especially for countries that are in i'm a packages but, but the truth is that a be cable that was shown by m. ron con,
11:47 am
the communicative that was shown by iran con, was not just a claim by him, not just a political claim by him. it was formally presented before something called the national security council, all boxed on that involve a large number of political leaders. it also involves the military chiefs of the air force, the army, the navy, and the chairman, joint chiefs. in fact, it was also presented at least on the other thing that this should be to that have you seen it? no, no, no, no. we, nobody else can see it because it is covered under something called the bucket on secrecy. and it can't be made public for diplomatic reasons. but key stakeholders within pockets on the, in the military stablish money. and the supreme court and the chairman of the senate have all seen it. it's been formerly communicated to them. and a formal reply by the national security council. absolutely unprecedented and focused on has, has, has said that this was in fact, and i think that that is what we guess
11:48 am
without a doubt we are we all in agreement that there was some kind of us a meddling and what's happening packets. there are no doubt about that. there. no, no, no, no, no. do you have any doubt because i'm then i'm going to move on a. do you have any doubt i have 5 questions because a number of diplomats very senior diplomats. i've actually called this entire cable gate has it's called a navigate box on the called into question. i'm going to move on because i'm not going to dedicate an entire show to a piece of paper. 9 that none of us were able to see in the movie, since i couldn't do you have any doubt before we move on dominy to i don't doubt that it was a motivator, but i don't think it was the primary motivator. however, if the u. s. had not been interested this had been interested in and on han, continuing. this process would have been much harder and perhaps would not have happened right now. i would love to spend an entire shall talking about cable, but i am not going to. i'm going to move on to zach because he's there is concerned
11:49 am
about the people in pakistan. it's the economy, stupid. how many times we heard that this is, what is sammy saying about new problems, new challenges, the pakistan regarding food security, haven't and have a look. but he's on is also facing a weak crisis in the coming months. meaning that the government will last employed we at a time when commodity prices are record high levels. all of this means that inflation is going to rise in the coming days, weeks and months, potentially earning popularity for share bosher, even as government, or just come in with the mandate to pass through the economy and improve the situation for august. sounds ordinary citizens unless we were thinking about the average citizen, an impact on how they managing right now. is it perhaps the economy or the poor economy that is fueling this disenchantment with the previous prime minister and his administration? well, i'm survey after serve
11:50 am
a pool off for fall at the last 3 years and so on. the balconies are worried. they're worried because they're purchasing power has reduced wired because, you know, as i pointed out, food inflation has steadily increase in compared to the region compared to india. it's very, very high in rural areas, which is quite surprising because you think that they're close, you know, form to market. and all of that, i, you know, i spoke to a couple of people in karachi while all of this is going on before the vote of no confidence. and i thought what the so that the average or the taxi driver who's, you know, who's, who's earning a decent living, but not enough obviously, which is why he's doubled jobs. what he said to me was, i like what ron hahn says on the international stage. you know, i think he represents back on well, i'm and i will, i will let me put my party. let me push. if i would let me push a little bit here because in my car for the moment is not prime minister. say let's shape this conversation for premonition. sharif. what is the burden that he has
11:51 am
taken on? what is the challenge he has to take on his income right now? what can heating it's gone? yeah. and we don't do anything. and i think that's, that's actually the biggest challenge where we've seen that the debt has increased . i think, with the last government of iran, hon government, accumulated more data net last 3 years than the last 10 years of the last 2 governments. we've seen that while exports have increased, which has been positive up imports. i've actually also steadly increase. the currency is last value in the last few years of buy buff. 30 at 30 to 40 percent. and, you know, ultimately it's the inflation and that's, that's biting people. obviously, there are factors that iran on or the last government, you know, could not help and dealt with as best as they could, which is cobra 19 and the global supply chain problem. but you can't blame them for, but the problem is that a lot of economists that i've spoken to say, it has actually been the mismanagement of supply chains within pakistan. so we are an agriculture based economy. we've to import wheat and we've had to import sugar.
11:52 am
and none of these things when they were fixed so they should have gotten no, normally they had to work. we actually spent a 6 month period in which we exported wheat and then imported. there's been a lot of supply management and, and i was i think, i think i think the bigger a yes. yes, i had to i think the bigger challenge for the city government, while the structural economic issues, the boxes on faces in terms of inflation impressions and in terms of unemployment and global chain disruptions supply chain disruptions is going to be true in boxed on that, that isn't too many other countries, but i think the, the larger problem, the more fundamental problem that, that, that ship should government is going to faith is going to be a lack of public confidence in the ability of be of the prime minister and
11:53 am
government to be able to spend money properly because you have to it, you have to recognize that your boss, she's got a government is from a political party that was just about 4 years ago. convicted by the supreme court in cases of money laundering. not the political party itself, but his, his brother who was earlier the prime minister. and even today, as we, as we surveyed the overseas pocket studies, which was who form a large fragment or a large section of the dimensions of the bugs on get. we've been having been hearing all sorts of reports about people not sending money to part time from a lot. let me, let me also let me ask you this and i'm going to you because i've got through lots of interesting thoughts and comments here. i'm going to ask you get to respond very briefly instantly. in fact. so this is been bad in ron khan, is the person who was elected by the will of people watch sharif of the matthew. these are not my words for ruling 630 and bring nothing good to us. lots of chassis been not nothing good to us. all right, a quick response,
11:54 am
please. i think a constituency has always been the kind of people that watch l 0 and comment on its pages. and i think a barrier. there are lots of a mon confines on g i. i totally agree. yes. go ahead. yeah, exactly, exactly, and i believe it should, i should use government would have a far larger majority and perhaps wouldn't have even let him run guns. ellamin had it not been for the pre election, meddling that got him run con, where it did as far as the pakistani dies for is concerned. it is absolutely ridiculous to suggest that overseas bugger sony was, will now not send money back to pakistan. the vast majority of money related to pakistan is remitted by baseline workers and money to, for the upkeep of their families. they work in the gulf, they send many billions of dollars, but they send it as baseline remittances to their families, which otherwise would not survive. the kind of people who can comment on us as you
11:55 am
know and say stuff like they will not send money back. they are less than a single percentage point in my entire body. sunny guys for abroad with my work, a rack me, i'm going to push on it. and i want to bring a few more thoughts from audience because i've been listening very generously to you. so i, as well, he said he, as you suggested, we have a lot of probably him wrong. com thoughts in you too. but i will say this one from wiley. he says this, this is a fair change that the new primary sharif is a fair change. pity i have even won the 2019 elections again opinion. they won 31.8 percent of the vote and etc, etc, etc. so there is some balance rein times if who is supporting who i want to bring aim one of our audi 0 per jesus because she really kind of focuses in on that division that is in pakistan right now. so primary says sharif, that coalition government has to deal with that. how will they do that as have listen? one of the things i think that everyone is thinking about and everyone is talking
11:56 am
about it is about how social media platforms have become battlefields between p t followers versus the other parties. and they have become very difficult to be able to have these conversations because they end in mudslinging insults and calling each other names that he used today will be taking part time forward. really need to address how focus on is going to be healed. collective healing that we have to do is by p. because how by polarize it is right now makes it very complicated for wanting to evolve democracy and wanting to make it a better society as a whole. i have 3 minutes left and 3 guest. perfect equation are right, maurice. this next year. what is prime ministers? sharif do to bring pakistan together? is that possible? no, i don't think it's possible to do anything other than show a brief flash of what he can do if he is going to develop properly. and if he
11:57 am
doesn't have to abide by the people as far as someone who is popping up his coalition, which is entirely possible that be a milan. and so they, after so that is the most popular party in the country. i think the shaheen would not have step into this role, right. i did not been for how much they've steered. what and ron hahn we're doing is last year. this is the there personages visiting their personal criminal issues of their own electrodes and visit the nominations to the top posts in the military . i think they realize this is a minefield they have inherited and i think they realize that it's going to be unpopular. what they're going to do in the next few months, because petra price is, will need to be jacked up, which will lead to further inflation. there isn't too much repair work that he can do and the people party will masterfully put all of the debris of this onto the p. m n so that they can't come back looking very fresh in the next general election. i'm but the next i, i want to do the se, the next few months, the last few days have been so traumatic. go ahead. well, i'm afraid that the divisiveness that the last few years of you know, between
11:58 am
a man hans bach. a sunday begins out by hassan people's body and b m l n. in particular, if you were to, by the sort of framing that the mom has made, which is good versus evil, i am the state mid to late, you know, lip asked him, why is essentially what he's declared. which means that i think the agitation politics route that he's staking and the sort of messaging that he's doing is, is not going to heal anyone. all right, it's going to get into any faggot ugly. it'll be difficult, but then you prime minister tend to ugly and difficult. all right. last my to you sought out for my prime minister in wrong con prospects. i think that everybody, a lot of the people in the state structure are underestimating around con street power. currently we saw a couple of days ago. in fact, according to the national media, about 10000000 people came out from the street to pakistan. i think the future election probably belongs to him and the cause thickness of,
11:59 am
of politics and pakistan has been a 2 way street. it can't be blamed on him, round can alone, i think, be a moline and other political parties about just as much to say. thank you, sam. thank you and bye. thank you, maria, for helping us analyze what is happening in pakistan's politics right now. you tube appreciate you as well. i will see in the next up side of the street. thanks for watching everybody. ah, i am a pink lake near the car, attract tourists and under pins, the local economy. thousands depend on his precious souls. ah, al jazeera world explores the major environmental issues above and below the
