The leadership of Businessmen Group and office-bearers of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) have urged the Pakistani government to utilize diplomatic channels and raise its voice against the genocide of Muslims in Myanmar (Burma).
Strongly condemning the atrocities being once again committed against the Rohingya Muslim community in Myanmar, they also urged the international community, the United Nations and international human rights organizations, to pressurize the Burmese government to end the massacre and take steps against the barbaric killings of Muslim in Myanmar as the situation was likely to fuel hatred.
The chairman of the Businessmen Group and former president of the KCCI, Siraj Kassam Teli, the vice chairmen of BMG and former presidents Tahir Khaliq, Zubair Motiwala, Haroon Farooki and Anjum Nisar, President KCCI, Shamim Ahmed Firpo, Senior Vice President KCCI Asif Nisar, Vice President KCCI Muhammad Younus Soomro and KCCI Managing Committee members expressed deep concern over widespread killings of Muslims in Myanmar.
They said that the growing crisis threatens Myanmar's diplomatic relations with Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia and many other Muslim-majority countries in Southeast Asia where there is profound public anger over the treatment of Rohingya Muslims. Referring to global protests and recent online petitions campaigns which received huge response from across the world, they said that everyone has been rightly demanding that the Nobel Peace Prize given to Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi as should be withdrawn because she no longer deserves it as a result of her neglecting the plight of Rohingya Muslims.
