PM Shehbaz calls JI chief, asks to postpone Islamabad march
JI says the premier promises better relief package for public
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif spoke to Jamaat-e-Islami chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, requesting a brief pause in the party's march towards Islamabad, according to the JI media wing. This came after Rehman, leading the train march, reached Multan. The JI media wing released a statement saying the PM had announced a relief package for the nation, but the JI chief deemed it "not acceptable in any way."
Rehman affirmed that the party would persist in its protest against the petroleum levy until it was lifted. The statement also mentioned that the JI would consult its leadership and announce a decision in Multan.
