LAHORE: Federal Minister for Interior Brig Ijaz Ahmad Shah (retd) on Friday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is focusing on economic situation and giving 60 percent of his time to economic revival. He said no other government was more into resolving the issues faced by the business community than the present government.

Minister for Interior stated this while addressing the inaugural ceremony of Passport Office at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI). He said FIA cyber wing needs to be staffed, adding, "few years back nobody was aware about cyber-crimes this is a new phenomenon and FIA is doing its very best to control online crimes, frauds being committed through cyber space."

Ijaz Ahmad Shah said there is no harm in giving an account of the wealth you have and where you earned it, the new laws regarding money laundering being passed by the government are not meant to hurt common people but those who are earning illegal money and are involved in laundering. He said the Ministry of Interior is working hard to protect the interests of the business community. He said the services being provided in LCCI under 'One Window Smart Services' are a role model for other chambers of Pakistan.

LCCI President, Irfan Iqbal Shiekh said that the LCCI had started working on an idea of 'One Window Smart Services' for the facilitation of its members and also contributing positively to further improve the ranking of Pakistan in Ease of Doing Business. The LCCI 'One Window Smart Services' includes various help desks belonging to FBR, PRA, NTC, SMEDA, PESSI, FTO, IPO, Excise, Police, State Bank and Tourism. The addition of Passport Help Desk has literally completed the range of services our members can wish to have in the premises of Lahore Chamber under one roof.
