  "summary": "Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan Deputy Chief Liaqat Baloch has announced that negotiations with the government over the petroleum levy have reached their final stage. Baloch, speaking to journalists after chairing a party meeting, warned that JI would be justified in launching a long march if the government fails to provide relief to inflation-hit people. The party's struggle is aimed at securing relief for the people, as the burden of the petroleum levy and payments to Independent Power Producers (IPPs) has become unbearable, according to Baloch. A joint technical committee comprising experts from both sides has been constituted to finalize proposals for resolving the petroleum levy issue.",
