Jamaat-e-Islami’s sit-in at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi demanding lower electricity prices, has entered its sixth day. Today, the second round of negotiations between Jamaat-e-Islami and the government is set for 3 PM.

During the sit-in, Jamaat-e-Islami leader Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman highlighted that paying the electricity bill has become nearly impossible for 98% of people.

Hafiz Naeem announced that a sit-in will start in Karachi today, with another planned for Lahore soon.
