Addressing a press conference here, the JI naib ameer and ex-MNA Mian Muhammad Aslam said
the protest movement against inflated bills which include high fuel price adjustment and taxes from Friday (today).

Similarly, the JI will also organise protest demonstrations in Bhara Kahu, Taramari, Sector G-7, I-10, Motorway Chowk, and other parts of Islamabad. The JI termed the high increase in electricity bills, as the start of economic terrorism against poor masses who are already facing inflation and price hike in essential commodities. “The government is also receiving ransom in the taxes and to collect revenue from people,” he said.
