'Don't underestimate current inflation'

When asked about the presence of the mafia in the cabinet, the Prime Minister said that people have high hopes but it takes a long time to change the old system. In his government, NAB and judiciary are independent while 95% of the cases against opposition were not made by his government but were old. In the previous government, the NAB was also involved in protecting the thieves. It is not easy to capture the powerful. The bureaucracy has more relations with the old leaders. “We came in power democratically however it will take time to change the system,”

PM urged people to not underestimate the current inflation while referring to Venezuela and other countries however he said people will have to be a little patient for real change, as the country’s economy is moving towards growth.

"Spreading obscenity will increase sexual abuse"

The Prime Minister said that austere ordinances have been brought to prevent incidents of abuse whereas religion has taught us to save the family system and provide protection to women. “When offensiveness is spread in society, the incidence of rape will increase,” In Europe, the family system has now collapsed. Seeing these things, I spoke to President Erdogan and brought Turkish drama here.

 Frightened by inflation? Question from the Prime Minister

One woman asked the public about inflation, "Should we panic now?" On which the Prime Minister said that despite being an agricultural country, Pakistan is importing 70% pulses due to which inflation is high. The high profiteering of middlemen is also caused by the high prices of commodities.

PM hinted at bringing a system where farmers will deliver goods directly to the markets which will improve the economy. PM said that there is no need to panic as the rupee has also strengthened and the entire focus is only on controlling inflation. “Work is being done to find out the cause of inflation and we will control it,”

'Revolutionizing the health sector'

People in Punjab, Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be able to get free treatment with health cards while all families in KP have been given health cards. Health cards are also being issued to all families in Punjab. Besides, “we will build new hospitals on government lands,”

 Can't fight corruption alone

The Prime Minister said that corruption is cancer that has spread not only in Pakistan but in every poor country. The corruption of the rulers makes the countries indebted however corruption also destroys rich countries. $1,000 billion are stolen from poor countries every year. “The entire nation fights corruption together, Imran Khan cannot fight alone.”

His government had asked Nawaz Sharif to submit a security bond but the judiciary sent him out. Making law will not end corruption, we all have to work for it, added. “How can we fight against corruption if the courts do not agree with us?”

 'The real thing is law enforcement'

The Prime Minister said that the small class has a habit of making money by sucking blood, people like us are trying to bring everyone under the law, flowers are being thrown at those who steal billions of rupees of sugar, when corruption If we throw flowers at the perpetrators, then the people below also commit corruption. The real thing is the rule of law, the fight for the rule of law is being fought in Pakistan, some people consider themselves superior to the law and say that Imran Khan's government should be overthrown because it does not give NRO.

 ‘The biggest torment is the land grabbers’
