Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman, Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, has demanded a reduction in electricity prices, warning that protests will follow if the government fails to provide relief to the public. He condemned the simultaneous 25% hike in gas prices and a massive increase in Punjab Assembly members’ salaries, calling it a shameful act. Jamaat-e-Islami is also forming public committees across Pakistan to launch a nationwide struggle for citizens’ rights.
