President of Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) Syed Mashadi Mashadi has said that government has made commitments to resolve the tax reforms and other tax issues including SRO 608 but no serious effort has been made from the government side to address the issues. He urged the government to resolve all the issues as committed with the traders.
He said that almost two months ago on the surety of Chief Minister Punjab, business community has postponed its countrywide strike but no commitment was honoured so far. He said that a RCCI's regular meeting of business community of the country is being finalised on February 9, 2015 to discuss all the issues and if in the said conference leaders of the business community opt for strike than government cannot stop it. He was exchanging these views with the traders in a meeting held here at Chamber on Friday. Senior Vice President Mian Humayun Parvez, Vice President Saboor Malik and other members of the chamber were also present on the occasion.
Asad Mashadi said that after CM Punjab Shahbaz Sharif's surety business community postponed their countrywide shutter down and it was decided with the Hamza Shahbaz that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar will hold a meeting with the business community but after two months Ishaq Dar is not responding to the said community. He said that instead of CM surety businessmen are receiving notices under said SRO which is creating panic among the community. He said that if government will not address the issue on table than it will be resolved on roads. He was of the view that business community is on the verge of their patience and will not accept any offer but withdrawal of SRO 608.-PR
