Hafiz Naeem JI
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has announced nationwide protests on September 29 to oppose sky-rocketing electricity tariffs and unjust capacity payments to Independent Power Producers (IPPs).
During a news conference here on Tuesday, Naeem-ur-Rehman highlighted that the country has been paying Rs2,400 billion annually to IPPs for the past 24 years. He emphasised that the burden of taxes was disproportionately falling on common citizens, particularly the salaried class, while IPPs enjoy tax exemptions. Citizens are not only paying high electricity rates but also facing additional charges.
