September 21, 2026
The Jamaat-e-Islami party in Pakistan has initiated a protest march toward Islamabad in response to increasing fuel prices, calling for the elimination of the petroleum levy.
As tensions rise in the capital, security measures have been enhanced by the government, which is also bracing for a separate demonstration organized by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, advocating for the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The situation unfolds amid growing public discontent over the surge in fuel costs, prompting Jamaat-e-Islami leaders to emphasize the need for government action to alleviate the financial burden on citizens.
