Jamaat-e-Islami chief links PM meeting to petroleum levy abolition

Meeting conditions and protest timeline

The party chief said there is no desire to meet the prime minister without an assurance of relief. He warned that a date for an Islamabad march would be announced after consultations on October 12 if the government fails to act. Ministers have reportedly indicated they will not abolish the levy, prompting the threat of further action.

Campaign activities and public meetings

Jamaat-e-Islami has staged sit-ins for 42 days against the petroleum levy while continuing nationwide signature campaigns. A public meeting is scheduled to take place in Okara on Sunday as part of this ongoing effort. The party argues that meaningful relief for consumers is necessary alongside any potential reduction in interest rates.
