Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) has launched protests in Peshawar and Lahore against the petroleum levy and rising prices of petroleum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Peshawar, the party\u2019s protest sit-in against the petroleum levy is scheduled to begin this evening, while party workers have continued their demonstrations against the increase in fuel prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamaat-e-Islami Central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Emir Abdul Wase criticised the petroleum levy, calling it an \u201cunjust system\u201d that has increased the burden on ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the federal government collected Rs1.205 trillion under the petroleum levy last year, adding that the levy had placed an additional burden on farmers, labourers and the common man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Jamaat-e-Islami has set up a protest camp at Charing Cross in Lahore as part of its campaign against rising petroleum prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Party workers arrived at Charing Cross in a rally from Masjid-i-Shuhada, with a large number of protesters gathering at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police have also deployed personnel at Charing Cross as the protest continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
