The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has strongly condemned ugly acts of terrorism in Rawalpindi Fruit Market and Sibi Railway Station and urged the government to evolve a well-thought-of strategy to overcome menace of terrorism as repeated terrorist attacks were badly tarnishing image of the country.
The LCCI office-bearers; President Sohail Lashari, Senior Vice President Mian Tariq Misbah and Vice President Kashif Anwar in a statement on Wednesday said that terrorist attacks were a well-planned conspiracy to destroying social and economic fabric of the country.
"Such acts of terrorism are an ugly attempt to destabilise Pakistan and to create an impression of unsafe country in the eyes of international community," they said and added the government needs to evolve a new policy to cope with the menace of terrorism. They said that repeated terror incidents had spoiled the country's image and no foreigner is willing to visit Pakistan what to talk of doing business with Pakistanis. They said that it was very strange that despite all our efforts, the terrorists were attacking the place of their choice and killing innocent people. They said the Prime Minister, the President and all the Chief Ministers should sit with the politicians and business leaders to evolve a methodology to get rid of this menace.
