ISLAMABAD (INP): Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman warned to extend the Rawalpindi sit-in to across Pakistan.
Addressing the sit-in, the JI chief said “No one willingly leaves their homes and businesses to sit on the streets, the government has left the people with no other choice but to protest peacefully.”
The JI chief criticized the government’s failure to provide relief and accused the parliament of being a rubber stamp.
Rehman highlighted the plight of ordinary citizens, especially those living in small houses, who are finding it difficult to pay their electricity bills. “How can a poor man educate his children when he is struggling to pay even the rent?”
He also demanded a transparent audit of the Independent Power Producers (IPPs) agreements, alleging that these deals have been made at the expense of the common people. Rehman accused the government of favoring a select few and neglecting the needs of the majority.
