Hafiz Naeem says nationwide movement gathering momentum
Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has said the countrywide movement is gathering momentum, crediting young people for playing a historic role in the cause.
Addressing a public meeting, Hafiz Naeem congratulated party workers for what he termed as a historic nationwide walkout the previous day. He claimed traders in Karachi lay the basis for the strike, while people turned out in places across interior Sindh.
He added that the strike was also successful in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while business activities remained entirely shut across Malakand Division.
Hafiz Naeem said Jamaat-e-Islami’s movement represented the voice of ordinary people, adding that the rulers had made life increasingly difficult for civilians. He claimed individuals were struggling to afford two meals a day, transportation had become tough and consumers were facing large electrical bills.
He said petroleum duty had pushed fuel prices to record levels, while growing petrol costs had made vital consumables more expensive. According to Hafiz Naeem, every motorcyclist effectively pays 35 percent tax on petrol.
The Jamaat-e-Islami leader stated the people had previously been unaware of the petroleum charge, maintaining that it had no connection with petrol prices. He accused the authorities of burdening the population to finance their own privileges.
Hafiz Naeem said party members had increased awareness among the public and recalled that Jamaat-e-Islami had held a sit-in against independent power producers (IPPs) two years ago, following which relief was offered to customers.
He said the administration had argued at the time that extended load-shedding made agreements with IPPs vital.
According to Hafiz Naeem, payments to power-generating businesses were finally recovered from consumers, including the loans and interest owed to IPPs. He stated that unfair agreements had been negotiated with IPPs since 1994.
