In National Interest: FPCCI chief calls for end to politics

FCCI president said in the prevailing global scenario the survival of the state now depends on a sound economy.

ISLAMABAD: Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) President Zakaria Usman said the politics of agitation, confrontation, violence and strike is causing huge losses to the national economy besides hampering economic growth. He said in the prevailing global scenario the survival of the state now depends on a sound economy. He said to achieve this target, political stability is equally required. “A one-day strike call causes billions of rupees loss to the national kitty besides rendering millions of daily wagers jobless.” All political parties should shun the politics of violence and agitation in the larger national interest to strengthen both the national economy and democracy which are part and parcel.
