A few thousand people have inflicted colossal loss to the national economy and created problems for millions of people in addition to hatching a deep rooted conspiracy against democracy by insisting on illogical, unlawful, un-democratic and un-constitutional demands. The time has now come that the business community should rise up against all such unconstitutional acts and vowed to fully support the constitution and democracy in Pakistan.
These views were expressed by Engineer Suhail Bin Rashid, President, Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He was critical of the unprecedented economic loss to the national economy and said that a few thousand people have virtually hijacked the civil life in addition to choking entire economic activities in the country. He said that the Government despite of masses support has adopted extreme restraint but on the other side, few thousand people have made the lives of common people miserable in their lust for political power.
He said that despite of Government restraint, the arrogant and adamant political and religious leaders failed to win the masses heart but they continued to create problem for them one after another. He said that everyone is condemning the un-constitutional and un-democratic demands of the protesters. He clarified that millions of people have given a clear mandate to Mian Nawaz Sharif but in order to avoid clashes, they are silent but it does not mean that a few hundred people could hijack the democratic order by resorting to protestation on roads instead of discussing these issues at the elected forums of Assemblies.
"There is no difference between Taliban and these so-called political activists who want to enforce their demand by way of arm twisting", he said. He said that people of Pakistan are fully ready to foil any conspiracy against democratic Government. In this connection, he also quoted statements of US Foreign Office and European Union that Nawaz Sharif was a constitutional Prime Minister who was duly elected for a period of five years through transparent, fair and free elections.
He said that the defeated elements have no right to create problem for the masses by resorting to such protestation and sit-ins and warned that the silent majority will give a befitting response if a minority continued its strategy to create problems for the people and national economy.
