Islamabad: The Jamaat-e-Islami has welcomed the government's fuel relief measures. The sentiment was expressed by a Jamaat-e-Islami delegation during a meeting with Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, and Minister of State for Finance Bilal Azhar Kayani in Islamabad today.

According to Radio Pakistan, the delegation, led by Liaquat Baloch, stressed the need for a permanent solution to fundamental issues, including a reduction in the petroleum levy. During the meeting, the delegation was briefed on the petroleum sector and the fuel supply situation, as well as the petroleum pricing mechanism based on a seven-day rolling average.

Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik stated that the government ensured uninterrupted fuel supplies across the country during the recent crisis. He emphasized that comprehensive measures are being taken to protect consumers and ensure the availability of fuel.

Malik also highlighted that targeted subsidies are being provided to users of motorcycles, Qingqi rickshaws, and small cars. He noted that these targeted subsidies serve as an effective means of providing relief to deserving segments of society. Additionally, he informed the delegation about plans for the upgradation of refineries, which would increase the production of Euro-V fuel, petrol, and diesel, ultimately reducing the country's reliance on imported refined petroleum products.

Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar reiterated that providing relief to the people is the government's top priority.
