The successful nationwide shutter down strike against inflation is commendable and all credit goes to Central President Kashif Chaudhary and his team because the main purpose of this strike was to give maximum relief to the traders, because the traders are overburden of various taxes which have ended the employment of the traders and the traders are unable to earn a daily bread.

The living proof of which is today’s event. The purpose of organizing this event is to solve the problems of all the businessmen together because today the businessmen are suffering from many problems and since that day, he has served the businessmen selflessly and unselfishly, which has been successfully continued till today by the grace of Allah.
It was a very difficult task to bring about, but because our aim was to provide relief to the traders for the well-being of the traders, it met with considerable success, to the credit of our trading brothers.

Central President Kashif Chaudhary said that we have a strong feeling that the businessman is suffering from various problems these days due to which the economic activities have come to a standstill due to which the economy of the country is going towards decline and the value of the rupee is decreasing but despite all these conditions and difficulties, the traders have not come under pressure from anyone and they are continuing their commercial activities.
The central president said that our first priority is working for the welfare of the traders and our demands are very simple one is to give various types of tax exemptions in electricity bills to the traders to keep the economy running. End the cruel contracts that have been entered into for energy production as it is causing a loss of 2700 billion rupees and no profit, 34 crore free electricity units are being given to the elite Its burden is being put on the poor people, it should be removed. Economic development is impossible until the traders are given relief and when the traders are happy, then Pakistan will be prosperous and on the path of development.
