Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman, while talking to the media after meeting the Prime Minister, said that our march will be in mid-November and we will not postpone it now.

While holding a press conference after meeting the Prime Minister, Hafiz Naeem said that we have not given up on the Islamabad march. If the government does not accept the demands, then there will be a march towards the capital in mid-November.

He said that the government is talking about abolishing the petroleum levy in phases, while we want the immediate abolition of the levy imposed on petroleum, from which the government is earning Rs 150 billion per month.

Hafiz Naeem said that the position of Jamaat-e-Islami is clear and unequivocal that the levy should be abolished. If the levy is abolished, Jamaat-e-Islami will do whatever is possible.

He said that the Prime Minister said that give us 7 to 10 more days while the people are suffering from inflation.

Hafiz Naeem said that we held long sit-ins, presented our demands to the Prime Minister in today’s meeting and made it clear that in our view, the petroleum levy is an extortion.
