Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman on Tuesday said that while the party would not back off from its protest against the petroleum levy, it would wait for a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif before proceeding with a long march to Islamabad.
Rehman, along with other party leaders, announced the decision during a press conference in Multan, where his caravan arrived on Monday night as part of the long march JI had launched the day before.
The decision comes after a phone call between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the JI chief.
“Our workers will remain on the ground,” Rehman declared.
