Hafiz Naeemur Rehman would lead the rally

Karachi: Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman on Monday announced to stage a rally in the federal capital on July 12 against high taxes and exorbitant electricity tariff. Rehman would lead the rally himself.
The party announced its Haq Do Awam Ko movement in a post on the social media platform X. The JI emir told a presser that the JI could not see the people suffer under such a circus.
He said the government and the ruling classes were not ready to abandon their perks and privileges but had no problems pushing the nation into “a greater difficulty”.

Terming the budget cruel, he said it was insufficient to fulfil the government’s “greed” and alleged that it wanted to levy further taxes on the populace.
The JI emir said the tax burden was falling on the salaried classes while landowners and the elite were “exempted”.
