Pak’s Jamaat-e-Islami to protest against govt’s failure

Islamabad: The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) has announced protests on major highways across Pakistan against the government’s failure to implement the Rawalpindi Agreement, ARY News reported.

The party’s announcement came after JI chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman made the statement. During an emergency meeting at Mansoorah, attended by JI leadership from central and provincial cities online, JI Chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman slammed the government for taking “cosmetic measures” in the past 45 days, according to ARY News report. He said that JI rejects the superficial steps and announced that the party will hold sit-ins on key highways on September 29.

Rehman called for immediate relief in electricity bills for the entire country and urged the government to implement uniform tariffs on the basis of the actual cost of production. Hafiz Naeemur Rehman demanded practical actions regarding Independent Power Producers (IPPs) agreements, instead of mere public statements, according to ARY News report.
