Islamabad: Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Wednesday unveiled major progress in discussions and talks with Jamaat-e-Islami.

“Some matters have been finalized in writing, and a follow-up meeting is scheduled for tomorrow,” said Attaullah Tarar.
In a media briefing, Tarar highlighted that the discussions with Jamaat-e-Islami have been constructive, and the Prime Minister's agenda includes reducing electricity prices. He noted that electricity consumers using up to 200 units have been given a 50 billion rupee subsidy for the months of June, July, and August. Additionally, a task force has been set up to review matters concerning Independent Power Producers (IPPs).

The Information Minister also acknowledged Jamaat-e-Islami's democratic right to organize marches and confirmed that their arrested workers in Sialkot have been released. He reported that today's negotiations with Jamaat-e-Islami have seen substantial progress.
