Businessmen demand action against terrorists

MULTAN: The business community of Southern Punjab has vehemently condemned the suicide attack on the caravan of Senate Deputy Chairman Maulana Ghafoor Haideri at Mastung in Baluchistan describing it as a cowardly attempt.



Multan Chamber of Commerce & Industry [MCCI] President Khawaja Jalaluddin Roomi condemned the deadly attack and demanded the government should launch a lethal offensive against terrorists. He said, “Operation cleanup is the only way out to get rid of terrorism.”



He added, “Perpetrators of this cowardly act cannot shake our resolve to eradicate the menace of terrorism. If they [terrorists] think they can demoralise us, they are mistaken.” Roomi maintained, “We will not allow these terrorists to be successful in their nefarious motives.”

He said the business community had always supported the government in rooting out terrorism.
