JI Ameer Announces Countrywide Protest Against Rising Tariffs

Talking to media JI Ameer announced a countrywide protest on January 17.

He said the government officials have announced for the last six months to bring the tariffs of electricity down, but nothing happened so far.

Hafiz Naeem said that the economic conditions in the country are going from bad to worse. “The prime minister gives ‘good news’ that the stocks’ Index has improved,” the JI leader said.

He said the prime minister should inform the country why the prices of commodities are not going down. “Why the US dollar’s price is not being decreased”, he questioned.

“The parliamentarians made the hike in their salaries, their lavish spendings are increasing, administrative expenses have been enhanced by 23 percent,” the JI leader said.

He said expensive and luxury vehicles are being purchased for officials but there is no decrease in power tariffs. “They have been promised cheaper electricity for the last six months but have failed to decide on power tariff till now,” he added.
