The president of the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI), Farooq Yousaf Sheikh, has welcomed the decision by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to postpone its planned long march.
In remarks reported by the Associated Press of Pakistan, Sheikh said the postponement would help avoid disruption to business and economic activity in the region.
Call for political dialogue
Sheikh urged both the government and opposition parties to prevent political differences from affecting economic activity, calling instead for a peaceful resolution of contentious issues through dialogue.
Long marches and similar large-scale political demonstrations in Pakistan have previously affected business operations, transport, and trade in the areas they pass through, a concern frequently raised by chambers of commerce.
The FCCI president's comments reflect broader concerns among the business community about the economic impact of prolonged political standoffs, as PTI's decision to delay its march reduces the immediate risk of disruption to commercial activity in Faisalabad and surrounding areas.
