Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Tuesday announced his support for the traders’ strike against Tajir Dost scheme.
Traders are to observe a strike on August 28 (tomorrow) against the Tajir Dost scheme launched by the Federal Board of Revenue.
Fazlur Rehman in his statement said, he fully supports the strike of traders and alleged government is overtaxing people on the demand of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Inflation and ‘unjustified’ taxes have made lives of people miserable, he added.
Fazlur Rehman also said the JUI-F workers will make the peaceful strike of traders successful.
Earlier, Naeem Mir, Chief Coordinator of the Trader-Friendly Scheme of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), confirmed that the FBR has contacted trader representatives to discuss their concerns.
