JI Emir Contacts Aimal Wali Khan, Invites ANP to Join Anti-Inflation Sit-Ins

Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman made a telephonic contact with Awami National Party (ANP) Central President Senator Aimal Wali Khan on Wednesday to hold detailed discussions on the overall political situation in the country, skyrocketing inflation, and the ongoing sit-ins staged by Jamaat-e-Islami against the petroleum levy.

During the interaction, Rehman formally invited the ANP leadership to join the nationwide protest sit-ins, an invitation that Senator Aimal Wali Khan accepted.

Extolling the efforts of Jamaat-e-Islami, Senator Aimal stated that inflation and the petroleum levy are not issues confined to a single political entity, but rather a collective ordeal facing the entire nation. He remarked that the public is already suffering from a severe economic crisis, while current government policies are further compounding their grievances. He affirmed that the ANP will play an active role in every struggle aimed at safeguarding the economic rights of the masses, adding that it is the need of the hour for all democratic and political forces to unite and raise a joint voice against economic hardship and unequal policies.

Rehman demanded that the government immediately abolish the heavy taxes and petroleum levies imposed on petroleum products to provide tangible relief to the general public.
