Dr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig, Federal Adviser on Textile, has urged All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) to call off strike for 18th March and to settle the issues on the table through negotiation. He also reiterated that all the textile sectors are equally important for the government as they are significantly contributing to the national economy.
Dr Baig further proposed 5 percent rebate to the spinners on their local yarn supplies to the value added sector.
