Most outlets reported that Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman announced a long march to Islamabad on September 20, primarily in response to the petroleum levy and rising fuel prices.

The Express Tribune and BOL News described the march as a potential movement to "oust the government" if demands are not met, while other outlets framed the protest as a response to economic grievances without explicitly linking it to regime change.

Overall, the framing was consistent in reporting the protest’s date, route, and core issues, with some outlets emphasizing the political implications more strongly.
