ISLAMABAD:  The Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) has announced to stage citywide protests on Tuesday (tomorrow) against the exorbitant rise in prices of petroleum products and growing inflation.

JI Karachi chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman while sharing details of the plan of the protest said “it would be a different kind of activity” and appealed the Karachiitese to join the “struggle of the JI” for the accountability of the past and present rulers.

“I appeal to the Karachiites for an all-out protest in the city on Tuesday by jamming all major arteries in the megalopolis,” he said. “Let it be very clear to our rulers — reduce the petroleum products prices or face the music.”

He said that youngsters in Karachi would go to 15 designated points on Tuesday evening and block the vehicular traffic by turning off their vehicles.

The JI leader said the hike in petroleum prices would be the test case for the new chief justice of Pakistan. He added that the party would also write a letter to the chief justice in this regard.
