Lahore: (RightNow) Jamaat-e-Islami’s Deputy Amir Liaqat Baloch announces a public rally in Lahore on September 25. Hafiz Naeem will unveil the long march strategy at the rally. He states that peaceful protest is a constitutional right of every political party.

During a press conference in Mansoorah, Lahore, Liaqat Baloch mentioned that the long march has been postponed to October following government assurances. However, preparations for the march from Multan to Lahore and Islamabad continue. Petroleum levy and electricity prices have become burdensome for the public.

The government is urged to abolish the petroleum levy within the IMF agreement framework. Jamaat-e-Islami has proposed six economic improvement suggestions, including reducing the policy rate to 9%.

Liaqat Baloch reported that the government confirmed the termination of 10 IPPs, which could ease economic pressure. He labeled the arrests of PTI workers as a human rights issue.

It is noteworthy that a situation similar to governor’s rule exists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Jamaat-e-Islami supports political dialogue between the government and opposition. The opposition’s offer for negotiations should be accepted.
