Pakistani traders went on strike to protest against the rising cost of living, including higher fuel and utility bills, and the depreciation of the rupee. The strike, called by ex-senator Sirajul Haq, was widely endorsed by trade, business, and legal associations. Karachi, the commercial hub, was almost completely closed, while Lahore and other cities saw closures of main markets and disruption to public transport.
