Istehkam-e-Pakistan IPP President Abdul Aleem Khan on Sunday said that IPP will not receive electricity bill up to 300 units after coming into power. Abdul Aleem Khan demanded the interim government to show mercy on the poor citizens and provide relief. He said direct tax should be levied and collected considering the financial status of the privileged.
The IPP President said the government should make electricity free for up to 200 units and petrol cheaper for motorcycles. He added ,“It is not fair to charge the same price of petrol from a motorcycle and a big vehicle. Meanwhile Countrywide protests against inflated electricity bills continue in several cities unabated, as people take to the streets, torch their bills and lament that the government is further pressing the poor who are already suffering due to historic inflation and rising poverty. The Jamaat-e-Islami has decided to hold another protest today against the high bills in Islamabad.—INP
