Jamaat-e-Islami’s (JI) Emir, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, has once again warned the government of a nationwide call to stop paying electricity bill if their demands are not met.
This declaration was made during the party’s ongoing sit-in at Liaquat Bagh, which has now entered its tenth day.
He called on the Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif to take immediate action to reduce electricity bills.

He highlighted the issue of inflated electricity bills, attributing part of the problem to the alleged mismanagement and corruption involving Independent Power Producers (IPPs)
The leader also criticised the performance of K-Electric, claiming the company has severely impacted the lives of Karachiites.
The ongoing sit-in, which has been a focal point of Jamaat-e-Islami’s campaign, aims to address rising inflation and the soaring cost of electricity. Despite prolonged negotiations, the party has yet to reach a consensus with the government.
