The most recent development involves the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) planning a sit-in outside the Sindh Assembly on February 14, 2026, as reported by Business Recorder. JI's Central Chief, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, emphasized the need for an empowered local government system in Karachi, criticizing the federal government's decision to abolish net metering and impose fixed electricity charges.
