JI inconveniencing the very citizens it claims to be protesting for, says PPP's Saeed Ghani

PPP leader Saeed Ghani has criticized the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) for inconveniencing citizens by staging sit-ins against the petroleum levy. The JI has been holding protests across the country since Sunday in opposition to the levy imposed on petroleum products and other taxes. Ghani acknowledged that the JI's intentions to protest for public concerns were well-meaning, but criticized their choice of locations in Karachi, where they block roads and cause significant inconvenience to the city's residents.

He questioned the party's logic, asking how it made sense to force citizens to use more petrol when they were advocating for cheaper fuel prices. Ghani pointed out that the people the JI claims to be helping are, in fact, complaining about the inconvenience caused by these demonstrations. He also accused the JI of justifying their actions by stating that it wouldn't matter to the government until the people faced difficulties.

The PPP leader suggested that JI emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman should lead demonstrations in locations that would generate sympathy for their cause and mission.
