Most of the business organizations of Karachi announced to keep business open today, saying that small traders will be affected more by the strike.
The TLP has called for a strike against inflation and unemployment, on which the traders say that it is not possible to close the business in the current bad economic situation.
He further said that he supports protests and sit-ins against inflation, but the current situation will affect the small traders and the poor class the most.
