Government considers abolishing petroleum levy
The government has proposed ending the petroleum levy for one year as Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) continues its “Super Long March” towards Islamabad, according to sources.
The proposal comes as the JI march moves from Rohri towards Multan. Government representatives have again contacted JI leaders and asked them to call off or delay the march.
However, JI has said that its protest will continue until the petroleum levy is fully removed. The party has been protesting against the levy for several weeks. It has also made its removal a main demand of the march.
According to sources, the government has now offered to suspend the petroleum levy for one year. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is also expected to contact JI leaders soon.
