This protest gained considerable traction on social media under the hashtag #TaxKumKro. Individuals from diverse professions united to advocate for equitable taxation policies.
The CEO of Nayatel emphasized the necessity for similar demonstrations in Karachi and Lahore, underscoring the widespread concern among workers in these cities.
