  "summary": "The political pressure on the government in Pakistan intensified as the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) set a deadline of September 10 for the withdrawal of the petroleum levy. JI chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman addressed a rally at the JI sit-in outside the Governor House, warning that failure to meet the demand could lead to a long march on Islamabad. The party is currently holding sit-ins in 32 cities and would continue its campaign until its demands are met. Hafiz Naeem strongly criticized the government's policy on fuel prices, accusing them of collecting Rs85 per litre as petroleum levy while the total taxes on petrol amounted to around Rs130 per litre. He also accused the government of failing to pass on the benefits of lower international oil prices to consumers and called on opposition parties to join the movement.",
