Jamaat-e-Islami Holds Nationwide Protests Against Petroleum Levy and Inflation; Calls Rs1.97 Fuel Cut “A Joke”
Jamaat-e-Islami held nationwide demonstrations on July 10 against the petroleum levy, rising fuel prices, and what its chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman described as the government's failed economic policies. Rehman said the government is collecting Rs118 per litre in taxes on petrol while offering consumers a Rs1.97 reduction — a cut he termed "shameful" and "a joke." JI also raised the LPG price crisis, noting the officially fixed rate of Rs241/kg is being sold at Rs500/kg in the market.
