If we have to move the country\u2019s development forward, terrorism has to be eliminated because this is Pakistan\u2019s biggest challenge and should be a top priority.<br \/>\nThe business leader added that whenever an important event takes place in Islamabad or anywhere in the country, the opposition starts protests, which is tantamount to damaging the economy.<br \/>\nHe observed that a political party has not been able to get any major relief for its leaders from the protests and long marches in the recent past, but despite this, repeatedly doing so on special occasions is a betrayal of the country\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n<p>He added that IDEAS 2024 is being held in Karachi, an important event for defense products. Delegations from 55 countries have come to participate.<\/p>\n<p>Mian Zahid Hussain said that despite the announcement of an attack on Islamabad, the stock market is snowballing, which shows that investors are not ready to give any importance to these claims.<br \/>\nMian Zahid Hussain further said that the government\u2019s action against the cigarette mafia is right. Various influential mafias in the country steal billions of rupees in taxes and operate fake invoices on a large scale, which has disadvantages.<br \/>\nIn the past, many finance ministers and FBR chairmen tried to crack down on these mafias but failed. It has been decided to take action against them, which is very timely because it is impossible to meet Pakistan\u2019s revenue target without them.<br \/>\nHe underlined that in this regard, harassment must be avoided entirely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad 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 the unwavering commitment and efforts of Army Chief General Syed &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":67284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73147"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73159,"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73147\/revisions\/73159"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nabanews.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
