Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) held a protest demonstration outside Karachi Press Club on Sunday against the privatisation of Qadirpur gas field and other state assets. Addressing the protestors here, JI Sindh Naib-Amir, Merajul Hudda said Pakistan People Party has always opposed the privatisation, but now it is handing over the profit-making assets under private control. Â"The real reason behind the privatisation of the entity is to meet the high expenses incurred by a massive cabinet,Â" he said. JI Naib-Amir further said people would not benefit from the proposed sale of Qadirpur gas field, Pakistan Steel Mills and other state assets. It will not bring any improvement in the countryÂ's economy also, he felt.
