Seizure of transportation vehicles and containers by the government to stop the long march has upset the traders and businessmen. They have warned that they will observe a country wide strike if any thing happens to their vehicles and containers.
Korangi Association of Trade and Industry Chairman Mian Zahid Hussain said the transporters were reluctant to take upcountry orders fearing seizure of their vehicles as the government was using them for blocking roads to thwart the lawyers in their bid to stage a long march in Islamabad.
SITE Association of Trade and Industry Chairman M A Jabbar said owing to political instability foreign as well as domestic investors had become uncertain. “If this situation prevails, local investors will be out of the scene in future,” he warned. “If the government does not release our vehicles immediately, we will go on a wheel-jam strike before the long march,” he warned.
It's a shame that the government is using public property for its goals!
