JI announces nationwide protests from January 17 over electricity prices

LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) has announced a nationwide protest on January 17 against the government’s failure to reduce electricity prices. Addressing a press conference, JI Chief Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman criticised the government over the economic situation and said that while Prime Minister claims improvements in the stock market and economic indicators, the prices of essential items like petrol and food remain unaffected. Raising concerns about Independent Power Producers (IPPs) the JI chief said that despite their closures, electricity bills have not decreased. He alleged that the government gives Rs. 2 trillion to IPPs, exempts them from income tax, and burdens salaried individuals
