    Jamaat-e-Islami protest enters second day

    Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi chief Munim Zafar Khan has called for an immediate reduction in petrol prices, saying the government must end what he described as excessive petroleum levies that are placing an unfair financial burden on the public. Speaking to Geo News, Zafar said the Jamaat-e-Islami’s sit-in outside the Governor House in Karachi had entered its second day. He said the protesters had presented clear demands and would continue their demonstration until the government addressed their concerns. According to Zafar, a large number of women will join the protest at 3pm today, adding further momentum to the demonstration. He said the party plans to maintain pressure on the government over rising fuel prices, electricity bills and other issues affecting ordinary citizens. The JI Karachi chief also demanded a forensic audit of Independent Power Producers (IPPs), arguing that the government should investigate power-sector agreements and costs to identify areas where consumers may be facing unnecessary financial pressure. Zafar said controlling inflation should remain the government’s top priority, as rising prices continue to affect household budgets across the country. He maintained that the public should not have to bear what he termed excessive charges and levies. He further said Jamaat-e-Islami had launched sit-ins in all four provinces and would continue its protests until the government accepted its demands. The ongoing Karachi demonstration focuses on petroleum levies, electricity bills and broader public concerns. The party has vowed to continue the sit-in at the Governor House as part of its campaign for relief from rising living costs.

    Hundreds of protesters gathered in New York City calling for Mayor Zohran Mamdani to resign or be removed from office. Demonstrators gathered near Gracie Mansion and voiced strong opposition to the mayor. Chants including “Remove Mamdani” and “Mamdani has to go” were heard during the protest. The demonstration came amid heightened tensions following a recent stabbing on Manhattan’s Upper West Side that is being investigated as a possible hate crime. One of the victims was a Jewish man, while another victim was Asian. Both survived the attacks. Critics of Mamdani have accused his administration of failing to do enough to protect Jewish New Yorkers. Protest organisers have also objected to his positions on Israel and broader foreign-policy issues. The protest reflects the growing political divisions surrounding Mamdani’s administration. His policies and views on international affairs have drawn strong support from some groups while facing intense criticism from others. Mamdani has previously defended the right to peaceful demonstrations, including protests directed against him. He has said that peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic right, while stressing that threats, violence and hate speech are unacceptable.
