End these theatrics and abolish the goon tax,” he said, also calling for the abolition of taxes on independent power producers (IPPs). Rehman also criticised the Punjab chief minister over her use of expensive aircraft.

“Maryam Nawaz is travelling in expensive aircraft while our mothers and daughters are suffering in Qingqi rickshaws,” he said.

Addressing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, he warned the premier of public anger and said he should realise before it was too late; otherwise, he would not get an aircraft to flee the country, while drawing a parallel with former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina. “Understand the public’s anger.

Sheikh Hasina was provided an aircraft to flee; you will not even get an aircraft,” he said. Rehman said he would personally participate in the women’s sit-in in Rawalpindi on Saturday and address the gathering.

He added that he would also lead the women’s march towards Islamabad. He said a long march towards Islamabad would then be held from across the country on Sept 20. “Let the government place as many containers as it wants.

The people will sweep them away,” he said, adding that the entire nation would come out for the long march.*Urgent Trend Alert* 🚨🔥 *اب اگلا مرحلہ اسلام آباد ہے!*امیر جماعت اسلامی پاکستان حافظ نعیم الرحمٰن نے بھتہ لیوی کے خلاف *20 ستمبر کو اسلام آباد لانگ مارچ* کا اعلان کر دیا ہے۔ اب یہ جدوجہد ایک نئے مرحلے میں داخل ہو چکی ہے۔حکومت کو بھتہ لیوی واپس لینے پر مجبور کرنا ہے تو…pic.twitter.com/JOX9Lceiko— Jamaat e Islami Pakistan (@JIPOfficial)September 11, 2026Calling for an end to interest-based financial practices, Rehman said: “End interest.

This is an open war against Allah Almighty.”He also strongly criticised Maryam, accusing her of destroying Punjab’s education and health systems and said the province’s ninth-grade results this year had been disastrous.

He said she wanted schools and health centres to be named after her, while alleging that 11,000 schools and all basic health centres had been put up for sale. JI chief warned that if the petroleum levy was not abolished, the JI would launch a movement to oust the government.
