The failure of no-confidence move against Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has been widely hailed by the trading community. Its representatives are of the view that the Prime Minister's survival in the no-confidence move was a show of confidence on the government's policies.
Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) former president and Businessmen Panel co-chairman Iftikhar Ali Malik said the defeat to opposition against the Prime Minister's no confidence was indicative of the government better performance in all the fields.
He said the government policies put Pakistan's economy on the right track and paid good dividend to the public at large in the form of more jobs and better per capita income during the last few years.
The FPCCI former president said the trading community fully supported the government and wanted continuity in economic and political policies to lay down a sound foundation for progress in the coming years.
He urged upon the opposition to play a positive role to help the government expedite the process of progress and prosperity for the welfare of the people.
He hoped that after the failure of the no-confidence move, the government would work more vigorously to expedite the process of economic recovery.
BP Chairman Tariq Sayed said any change in the political system at that point in time when Pakistan was facing various serious challenges could slow down the process of economic recovery.
He said the failure of no confidence against the Prime Minister would strengthen the democracy in the country and subsequently improve Pakistan's image at home and abroad. Tariq Sayed added that the traders' community wanted continuity of the policies to achieve the target set by the government for economic progress.
FPCCI central leader and ICCI former chairman Zubair Malik termed the failure of no-confidence move against the Prime Minister as a good omen, and said it would ultimately have good impact on the political system of the country.
He said the opposition should play active role in the parliament to strengthen democracy in the country.
