Islamabad March Against Petroleum Levy

Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan is organizing a Long March towards Islamabad on 20 September 2026 against the imposition of the petroleum levy and excessive taxes on petroleum products. The Long March is part of Jamaat-e-Islami's nationwide campaign for relief from rising fuel prices, inflation and the increasing financial burden on ordinary citizens. The campaign has included sit-ins and protests in major cities across Pakistan, with the party demanding the withdrawal of the petroleum levy. Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has called upon people from across the country to participate in the Long March and raise their voice against what the party describes as an unjust burden on the people. He has stated that if the petroleum levy is not withdrawn, the movement will enter a decisive phase in Islamabad. Key Demands Withdrawal of the petroleum levy. Reduction of excessive taxes and duties on petroleum products. Relief for the people from rising fuel prices and inflation. An end to policies that place an additional financial burden on ordinary citizens. Protection of the purchasing power and economic rights of the people. Jamaat-e-Islami maintains that high fuel prices have a direct impact on the cost of transportation, food, electricity, agriculture and other essential goods and services. The party is therefore calling for meaningful relief for the people and an end to excessive taxation on petroleum products. Nationwide Participation The Long March will bring together Jamaat-e-Islami workers, supporters and citizens from different parts of Pakistan. The party has called on its organizational units across the country to mobilize people and participate in the march towards Islamabad.
