We express complete solidarity with the armed forces and intelligence agencies and we are highly grateful to them for their role in safeguarding the geographic and ideological boundaries of the country, said Patron Islamabad Chamber of Small Traders, Shahid Rasheed Butt.

In a statement issued here on Monday he said that some politicians are vomiting venom against national institutions to destabilise the country at the behest of their masters which will not be allowed.

He said that masses cannot be fooled by some opportunists and they would continue to unconditionally support the defenders of Pakistan. Business community fully acknowledges sacrifices of army and spy agencies and that they would never allow anyone to unnecessarily criticise our guardians.

The veteran business leader said that the entire business community stands united to back the armed forces at this critical juncture as the role and sacrifices of the armed forces in the war against terrorism cannot
 be denied. Every patriotic citizen of Pakistan should avoid any act that harms the reputation of country’s defence institutions with the aim of destabilising the country, he said.

All conspiracies against Pakistan would be frustrated and Pakistan would emerge as a strong and developed country in the comity of nations, he added.
