Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has requested Jamaat-e-Islami to postpone their "Super Long March" while the protest sit-in and camps continue, according to Aaj News. The party's leader, Emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman, had previously stated that the party would not back down from protests over public rights and rising inflation. However, he welcomed the prime minister's proposal to delay the sit-in and said Jamaat-e-Islami was considering it.
The two leaders agreed to meet after Shehbaz's ongoing visit to continue consultations. Hafiz Naeem emphasized that the party would not withdraw its demands and would seek written assurances from the government. The government has been providing relief on petroleum products to economically vulnerable and middle-income segments amid difficult circumstances, according to Shehbaz.
Hafiz Naeem appreciated the proposal and said Jamaat-e-Islami was considering postponing the sit-in.
