Pakistan - Traders’ country-wide strike on 0.3pc withholding tax, a warning to PMLN Fed Govt: PPP

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Karachi Division President Syed Najmi Alam, Sardar Khan, Izharul Haq Hasaanzai and Habib Hasan Balouch while addressing PMLN Federal Government said it should learn a lesson from the country-wide strike by the traders across the board against the tyrant imposition of 0.3 percent withholding tax, which was in its initial stage was 0.6 percent.
They said that the PMLN Federal Government deliberately ignored sane suggestions and advices from concerned political parties and traders’ associations and preferred to impose the tyrant decision of 0.3 percent withholding tax on all bank transactions. This led to instillation of strong wave of disappointment, hatred against the PMLN Federal Government, unrest among the traders and the masses across the board.
They said that the PPP had time and again advised the PMLN Federal Government to avoid policies and decisions that would hurt the interest of the common man and the country and also discard the idea of selling the strategic national institutions like PIA and Pakistan steel Mills but the government did not hear the cal of the day.
They once again warned the PMLN Federal Government to immediately withdraw the 0.3 percent withholding tax on bank transactions or else it should be ready to face more protests in which the PPP would be on the forefront with the traders and the masses
