F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders on Sunday said India has increased conspiracies and opposition to Pakistan after the launch of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). New Delhi thinks that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) passing through Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir challenges Indian sovereignty which is not based on facts, it said.
India has not only destabilized the whole region but it is also behind frequent tensions in Pak-Afghan relations which have badly damaged the bilateral trade hitting millions of people, said Patron Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders Shahid Rasheed Butt.
India’s negative attitude has not only destabilized the strategic stability but it has also kept billions below the poverty line in the region, he added.
He said that it’s not only the military establishment of India but their political elite also considers Pakistan as a rival and leave no opportunity to destabilize our country. India should not link politics with economics resulting in deprivation of billions of people living in the SAARC region, he added.
He said that both nuclear states of India and Pakistan must realize that war is not an option and prosperity through trade is the only way to end hostilities and bring the people closer.
