Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, the Emir of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), has announced that the current dharna (sit-in) march will end on August 8. This marks the beginning of a series of sit-ins across various cities. Lahore will witness a sit-in on August 11, followed by Peshawar on August 12. These protests are part of JI’s ongoing campaign against rising inflation and security issues.
Hafiz Naeem has also hinted at a possible nationwide shutter-down strike after discussions with traders. This potential move aims to intensify their efforts and draw more attention to their cause. More details about the strike and future actions will be shared after consultations with the trading community, according to Hafiz Naeem.
The planned dharnas are a response to the increasing economic pressures faced by the public. Jamaat-e-Islami hopes these demonstrations will raise awareness and prompt the government to address the inflation and security concerns affecting the nation. The upcoming protests and potential strike underscore the urgency and seriousness of these issues. Jamaat-e-Islami is determined to continue its efforts to bring relief to the people and push for necessary changes.
