According to him, such actions will benefit the Pakistani economy and increase economic activity in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He believed that the government should not overlook Afghanistan’s valuable market.

He said that the government should have developed a market-capture strategy as soon as withdrawal indications arose, but that it was not taken seriously.
