Jamaat-e-Islami agrees to pause long march at PM’s request

Jamaat-e-Islami has temporarily halted its "Super Long March" at the request of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while the protest sit-in and camps will continue until a meeting with the prime minister, according to Aaj News. Earlier, Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman had stated that the party would not back down from protests and the long march over public rights and rising inflation.

However, he welcomed the prime minister’s proposal to postpone the sit-in and said the proposal was being considered. The two leaders agreed to meet after the prime minister’s ongoing visit and to continue consultations on the matter.
