JI Protests Against Fuel Price Hikes, Petroleum Levy Across Karachi

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) led widespread protests across Karachi, including blocking Shahrah-e-Faisal, to condemn the government's petroleum levy and repeated fuel price hikes. JI Karachi chief Monem Zafar stated the protests reflect public opposition to economic policies, demanding the abolition of the levy and reduced fuel costs. The party criticized the government for burdening citizens with inflation and unemployment while the elite enjoy privileges. Persistent domestic inflation concerns, highlighted by such protests, may contribute to a cautious outlook for the Pakistani Rupee.
