KARACHI (Dunya News) - Sindh Governor Imran Ismail on Friday appealed traders to call off the strike saying that government needs the business class as smuggled goods benefit only a specific portion of the country.
Governor Sindh Imran Ismail advised traders to choose a path of reconciliation instead of going on strike and said that the traders are requested to settle their matters peacefully.
Earlier, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail also held talks with representatives of the Karachi Tajir Action Committee (KTAC), a body of the city’s traders, to persuade them to call off their strike which they had announced against the increase in taxation on the traders in the new federal budget but it was called off on the assurance of Sindh Governor.
Sindh Governor also met the family of Deputy Collector Customs Dr. Abdul Quddus Sheikh who was killed by suspected smugglers in Quetta. He condemned his death and prayed for him at his Karachi residence.
Talking to media, he expressed grief over the attack on Deputy Collection and said that federal government is doing their best to stop all the smuggling operations.
