Hafiz Naeem Urges Action on Electricity Prices in Pakistan

KANDHKOT: In a significant development, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, the Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), has issued a stern warning regarding the impending deadline for an agreement aimed at reducing electricity prices. The deadline is set to expire on September 23, and if the government fails to fulfill its commitments, the JI plans to announce its next course of action on September 24. This situation has arisen following a recent sit-in protest in Rawalpindi, which successfully led to an agreement with the government concerning electricity prices.

During his address at a sit-in protest in Kandhkot, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman emphasized the urgency of the matter. He urged the government to adhere to the agreement by lowering electricity prices, imposing taxes on feudal lords, and curtailing the lavish lifestyles enjoyed at the expense of the state. His call to action is not just a political maneuver; it is a plea for the public to unite against what he describes as a corrupt ruling elite.

Furthermore, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman did not hold back in his criticism of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), which has governed Sindh for the past 16 years. He pointed out that the PPP has failed to deliver any substantial relief to the people during its tenure. The JI has already initiated a movement under the slogan “Haq Do Awam Ko” (Give the People Their Rights), which aims to empower citizens and demand their rightful entitlements from the government.

The situation surrounding electricity prices is a pressing issue for many citizens, as rising costs have become a burden for households across the country. The JI's efforts to mobilize public support reflect a growing frustration among the populace regarding the government's inability to address their concerns effectively. As the deadline approaches, the pressure on the government to act is mounting.

The upcoming days will be crucial for both the Jamaat-e-Islami and the government. The outcome of this situation could significantly impact the political landscape in Pakistan, especially in Sindh. Citizens are encouraged to stay informed and engaged, as the decisions made in the coming days will affect their daily lives and the future of electricity pricing in the country. The call for unity against corruption and for the rights of the people resonates strongly, and it remains to be seen how the government will respond to these pressing demands.
