KARACHI: Businessmen and traders have shown mixed response to the cabinet’s rejection to the government proposal of cotton and sugar imports from India.
Pakistan Yarn Merchants Association rejected the cabinet decision for not importing cotton from India.
The association representatives Hanif Lakhany and Farhan Ashrafi said the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the cabinet allowed the import while the cabinet rejected it, which is not understandable.
The government should play serious role in economic issues, they said. The government should take efforts to provide raw material to the industry. If raw material is not available to the industry on economical rates, meeting the export orders would become difficult, they added.
