KARACHI – Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) staged sit-in on Shahrah-e-Faisal near Nursery to castigate K-Electric’s unscheduled long hours load-shedding, issuance of inflated bills and proposed raise in power tariff on Saturday. The JI leaders in their address to protestors were of the view that K-Electric had become an ally to rulers in Centre and Sindh in order to materialise its unfounded demands.
A number of JI workers and people from all walks of life besides representatives from trader bodies also participated in sit-in. Lashing out K-Electric, Karachi JI ameer, Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman exposed power entity’s wrong doings and said that minting money on behest of rulers had been hallmark of K-E for long time.
