KARACHI: The Law Enforcing Agencies (LEA) should devise effective strategies to thwart terrorism and ensure durable security in every nook and corner of the country, particularly during the ongoing election campaigns. Security is mandatory as Pakistan stands at a very crucial juncture where foreigners have finally started taking interest and are keen to visit and invest in the country whereas the business climate is also showing some signs of improvement which is not acceptable to the anti-state elements who must be dealt with an iron hand as we cannot afford to go back into the darkness of terrorism and lawlessness.
This was stated by the leaders of Businessmen Group and Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry in a statement. They expressed deep concerns over the recent two separate terrorist attacks in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in which over 150 people were killed and 200 injured. Businessmen Group Chairman Siraj Kassam Teli, Vice Chairmen Tahir Khaliq, Zubair Motiwala urged LEAs to make sure that no further terrorism incident takes place in any part of the country as a lot of sacrifices have been made since 2013 to restore peace across the country and rebuild the image of Pakistan.
Teli pointed out that Pakistan stands at a very crucial juncture where foreigners have finally started taking interest and are keen to visit and invest in the country whereas the business climate is also showing some signs of improvement which is not acceptable to the anti-state elements who must be dealt with an iron hand as we cannot afford to go back into the darkness of terrorism and lawlessness.
He said that steps being taken by LEAs to strictly deal with terrorism in any part of the country will be fully supported by the business and industrial community of Karachi as the citizens of other cities, towns and villages of our beloved country are equally dearer to us.
