Govt Seeks Delay of JI Long March Amid Security, IMF Concerns

The government and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) failed to reach an agreement on the petroleum levy and public relief, with the government citing security threats and IMF pressure to request a postponement of JI's planned long march. Despite assurances of "unprecedented relief" and an upcoming IMF delegation visit, JI leaders, including Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, reiterated their commitment to launching the march from Karachi on Sunday, demanding the complete abolition of the levy. This political standoff and potential for widespread protests could heighten economic uncertainty, potentially impacting the Pakistani Rupee's stability against the US Dollar.
