LAHORE: Following the announcement of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Chief, the party announced protests on major highways across Pakistan as the government failed to implement Rawalpindi Agreement, Baaghi TV reported citing sources.
During an emergency meeting at Mansoorah, attended by party leadership from central and provincial cities online, JI Chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman criticized the government for only taking “cosmetic measures” in the past 45 days.
He emphasized that JI rejects these superficial steps and will hold sit-ins on key highways this Sunday [September 29].
Hafiz Naeem demanded immediate relief on electricity bills for the entire country and urged the government to implement uniform tariffs based on the actual cost of production.
He also called for practical actions concerning Independent Power Producers (IPPs) agreements, instead of mere public statements.
Earlier to this, Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan announced nationwide sit-ins starting from September 29 to push for a reduction in electricity prices.
