Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman, announced plans to challenge the 26th constitutional amendment in the country apex court, highlighting what he described as an attempt by the current rulers to undermine the judiciary and make justice less accessible for the common man. Responding the questions of media persons, he emphasized that the government is exerting pressure on the judiciary, which he claims threatens the integrity of the constitution and public institutions. Rehman expressed strong opposition to rising electricity bills, declaring that a referendum would be conducted to support a boycott of these charges. He stated, “If Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are not reined in, the nation will not pay the bills.” He hailed the recent success of Jamaat-e-Islami's "Haq Du" movement, which led to the cancellation of five IPP agreements and promised further action to dismantle corrupt contracts linked to prominent political families.

The Jamaat-e-Islami leader voiced concerns over the decline in education quality, criticizing the government’s decision to hand over schools to NGOs. He pledged that his party would resist these actions and work to expose what he described as a corrupt ruling elite that has exploited national resources without paying taxes. Rehman called for public unity against the current administration, warning that complacency would allow the rulers to continue their oppressive policies unchecked. He concluded by asserting that the next phase of the "Haq Du" movement would mobilize citizens to reclaim their rights and hold their leaders accountable.
