The sit-in has been held at Zero Point and on the Murree Road,” Rehman said while addressing party supporters in Rawalpindi on Saturday, accusing the government of trying to provoke the protesters.

He vowed that the ongoing sit-in demonstrations would not end until their demands were met. “We will not go back without securing our rights,” he said and advised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif not to be complacent.

The JI leader stated that the protests and negotiations would continue simultaneously, and “if their demands are not met, they will march” to the Parliament House.

“Tomorrow [Sunday], we will transform this sit-in into a historic public gathering,” Rehman said and urged the protesters to bring their friends and family members to join the demonstration.

He called for accountability and reform in Pakistan. “These wolves cannot rule over Pakistan anymore,” he thundered, referring to the current political leadership. “They are sucking our blood.”

Rehman declared that the sit-in was “awakening the nation” and questioned whether the government could proceed without addressing the protesters’ demands.

“Can we go without curbing the IPPs [Independent Power Producers]?” he asked the cheering crowd. “Can we leave without abolishing taxes on flour, lentils, and children’s milk?”

The Jamaat-e-Islami leader asserted that people across Pakistan have pinned their hopes on this protest, and questioned whether the government can move forward without conceding to their demands.

“The government has blocked off Islamabad with containers on all sides,” Rehman said and vowed that the protesters would not leave until their objectives are met.
