LAHORE: Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), condemned the barbaric act of terrorism in Paris, and has said that Pakistani nation in general and business community in particular stands shoulder to shoulder with the people of France.
In a condolence message to the French Ambassador, the LCCI President Sheikh Muhammad Arshad, Senior Vice President Almas Hyder and Vice President Nasir Saeed said that our prayers and hearts go out to our French brothers in this testing time.
They said that terrorist attacks in Paris should not be seen in the context of any region or religion as no religion allows killing of innocent people. The LCCI office-bearers said that it is not just a terror attack on the people of France but it is a heinous crime against the entire humanity. Leaders around the globe should join heads and evolve strategy to fight common battle against terrorism.
They said that the terrorist attacks in Paris are a well planned conspiracy to shatter the global peace. They said that United Nations should convene a roundtable of all heads of states to make a consensus policy to cope with terrorism related incidents that have jolted the very basis of the globe. They said that these terrorists should be brought to justice.
“Any further delay in taking a strong stand against terrorists would cause undue damage to the internal peace and harmony therefore there is a dire need to sit together and evolve a methodology to get rid of the menace of terrorism”, the LCCI office-bearers said.
