Reason for Jamaat e Islami Sit in Karachi?
The protest aims to tackle pressing issues like high electricity bills due to IPP agreements and unfair taxes on large landlords. Jamaat-e-Islami wants to put an end to the lavish lifestyles of the rulers and stop burdening the salaried class and traders with oppressive taxes.
Their ongoing movement, called the “Give Rights to the People Movement and Membership Campaign,” aims to empower the public and reclaim their rights from those in power.
