Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, the leader of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, has accused the government of using the IMF as a scapegoat to avoid addressing public frustration regarding the surge in diesel and petrol costs. Expressing the mood of demonstrators across the country, Rehman stated, "You claim that the IMF won't allow [reducing petroleum levy]. So to hell with you and your IMF." As nationwide protests continue, demonstrators have signaled that they plan to organize further sit-ins.
