Business community condemns Indian aggression

The business and industrial community of Karachi has expressed complete solidarity and unwavering support for the government and armed forces of Pakistan following the recent unprovoked and cowardly missile strikes by India targeting civilian areas in Pakistani territory.

The Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) and various industrial town associations strongly condemned the blatant act of aggression, which resulted in the loss of innocent civilian lives and damage to public infrastructure.

Chairman Business Management Group (BMG) Zubair Motiwala said that Pakistan is a peace-loving country, but will defend itself with full force when its sovereignty and citizens are attacked. He declared unwavering support for the armed forces, saluting their professionalism and courage. Motiwala called upon the business community to set aside differences and stand together for national defence.

President KCCI Muhammad Jawed Bilwani appealed to the international community to take immediate action to de-escalate tensions and hold India accountable for targeting civilians. He emphasised that Pakistan's armed forces have shown strategic restraint but will respond decisively to aggression. Bilwani praised the sacrifices of martyrs and the resilience of soldiers, saying that every attack unites Pakistanis further.

The business community declared unshakable loyalty to Pakistan's sovereignty, support for the government's policies, and absolute trust in the armed forces' preparedness and professionalism. They rejected Indian aggression and pledged to contribute resources and influence to support national preparedness.
