The traders in Karachi have rejected the call for a strike from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as all the small and big markets in the city are open as usual, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.

Business activities continue in Jodia Bazaar, and markets are also open in the Lighthouse, Bolton Market and Kharadar.

The traders termed the strikes a loss for the business. “We have hardly got rid of strikes. The strike is not a solution to any problem,” the traders said.

The PTI had appealed to the business community to keep their businesses closed today as a protest against the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
