Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has stated that the government is sending a message that the demands are unfeasible.
While addressing a sit-in protest by Jamaat-e-Islami against electricity prices and inflation in Rawalpindi, he mentioned that in two negotiation sessions, the government had no answers to any questions.
He said the government is trying to convey that Jamaat-e-Islami’s demands are not feasible. He clarified that he has not made any demands that are unfeasible.
According to the Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, the government has only one option, which is to implement the demands and reduce electricity prices. They should charge us only for electricity and not take additional taxes.
He stated that the Pakistani nation will not pay capacity charges.
He announced that if the government does not rectify things within two days, does not move the discussion forward, and does not present its case before the media, they will take all the actions he has previously mentioned.
Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman mentioned that their sit-ins will increase, they will sit on the streets, and they will strike.
Earlier, Jamaat-e-Islami leader Liaqat Baloch said that if the government appears unserious, they will withdraw from the negotiations.
Jamaat-e-Islami leader Liaqat Baloch stated that if a committee comes out of a committee, then there will be a protest at Committee Chowk.
It is to be noted that Jamaat-e-Islami’s sit-in against high electricity prices and inflation has entered its seventh day, while the government has asked for more time to make progress on Jamaat-e-Islami’s demands.
