Jamaat-e-Islami's 'Super Long March' Protests Petroleum Levy in Pakistan
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman intensified criticism of Pakistan's Shehbaz Sharif government as the party's 'Super Long March' against the petroleum levy reached Multan. The protest, which began in Karachi, demands the removal of the petroleum levy and relief from rising prices. Naeem accused the government of economic mismanagement, targeting commodity price 'mafias' and electricity contracts with independent power producers. The march aims to reach Islamabad by late September, with organizers warning authorities against attempts to restrict the movement.
