In a statement issued here on Wednesday, he said that Pakistan economy was showing some positive signs but some elements have initiated politically-motivated criticism which is a negative development.

He said that political struggle over the package has worried masses and the business community which has received assurances by the COAS and PM.
Pakistan economy was showing some positive signs but some elements have initiated politically-motivated criticism
Recently the federal and provincial governments have decided to shun differences in the greater national interest which send a very positive signal to the investors albeit for a very short span.
Mian Zahid said that PM has appointed CM Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah as Chief of Provincial Coordination Implementation Committee which had revived hopes that Karachi will find its lost glory but in vain.
The masses and businessmen were hopeful that fifty deaths and losses to the tune of billions of rupees has united political leaders and now the issues like water, electricity, health, education, sanitation, encroachments, infrastructure and transport will be resolved.
The business leader said that politicians should think about life and property of masses and make a good example by reviving the orphan city of Karachi which is providing almost 65 percent of revenue.
