Former President Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry Shahid Rasheed Butt on Saturday said politicians are criticizing important projects to settle scores that amounts to dig the grave for the economy.
In a statement issued here, he said the LNG project is being criticized frequently which will scare away local and foreign investors which will be against the national interests as the advisor to PM on petroleum and some other officials have taken a lot of pain to use LNG to overcome the gas shortfall.
Shahid Rasheed said that the efforts of the government has attracted a lot of notable local and foreign investors, therefore, this project should be spared for the sake of the country otherwise all the efforts will go down the drain.
Businessmen are importing substandard wheat and sugar and a lot of stocks have been kept out of the country for the sake of undue profits, therefore, the government should start importing quality wheat and sugar without delay, the business leader.
