Karachi Pakistan : The Chairman of National Business Group Pakistan, the President of the Pakistan Businessmen and Intellectuals Forum, the President of All Karachi Industrial Alliance, the Chairman of the FPCCI Advisory Board, and the President and former provincial minister, Mian Zahid Hussain, said on Thursday that Saudi Arabia has supported Pakistan in every difficult time.
He said that if Saudi Arabia had not fully supported Pakistan after the nuclear explosions, the country would have gone bankrupt in 1998.
Mian Zahid Hussain said that strict action should be taken against some political jokers who are enemies of the country and are trying to disrupt relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia for petty political gains.
Talking to the business community, the veteran business leader said Saudi Arabia has saved Pakistan from bankruptcy dozens of times. Even now, more than 2.5 million Pakistanis reside in the country, and they sent $5.9 billion to the country last year, 24 per cent of the total remittances.
Mian Zahid Hussain said that a mischievous group is repeatedly targeting Saudi Arabia, against which strict action should be taken to control them.
In the past, this group has tried to spoil relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia many times, which is condemnable.
He said that in any country except Pakistan, the head of a province cannot even imagine attacking the capital repeatedly. These routine attacks cause billions of rupees in loss and make the country a laughing stock.
This political group knows nothing about good governance but likes to be in a state of war. He observed that its leader is obsessed with spoiling relations with friendly countries, opening different avenues and causing maximum damage to Pakistan’s reputation and economy.
None of those who launched them are with them now because they were tested during the four-year term. During the government, their popularity graph reached zero.
Mian Zahid Hussain further said that most people in this group are experts in creating noise on social media and dancing to songs but want to avoid the rigours of prison.
Some leaders claim to go out on the streets and do not return without fulfilling their demands. They also announce that they will die for the cause and then go into hiding.
The leader of this group had given a final call for the rule of law, return of the mandate and release of political prisoners, the real purpose of which was to ensure the release of two people, but this call also failed.
The government’s strategy has been successful, but the daily calls increase the people’s problems. He demanded strict action against this group so that things could improve and the economy could develop.
