KARACHI – The BMP news appeared in a daily regarding FPCCI Election 2021 is false, fictitious, baseless, contrary to the actual facts and yet another attempt to hide the realities and prolong their unlawful occupation in FPCCI, this was stated by the spokesperson of United Business Group (UBG). It is utter surprising that BMP which was against the DGTO is now proving its loyalty and favoritism with him, the spokesperson added.
In rebuttal the UBG spokesperson said the record also unveils that Nasir Hayyat Magoon had filed a suit 2021 (-758) dated 14-04-21 in Honorable High Court Sindh against DGTO alleging various charges on him including his being biased, mala-fide, unfair, involved in misconduct, exercising his powers beyond his jurisdiction, having prejudice mind and his interim order dated 0-03-21 for scrutiny of record of ballot was also challenged in said suit as his illegal exercise of jurisdiction of power. It was prayed by Nasir Hayyat Magoon in the said suit to appoint any other officer to act as Regulator as he ( Nasir Hayyat Magoon was afraid of the decision under subsection 3 (f) of section 14 of TOA which empowers DGTO to annual the results of any election of trade body within 14 day.
The lawyer of UBG had made arguments for these allegations against DGTO proving them without any prudent evidences. The said petition of Nasir Hayyat Magoon was rejected by the Hon’able High Court under section 30 of TO Act on 19-05-21. The suit filed by Nasir Hayyat Magoon was not maintainable as the entire mechanism is provided in TO Act for adjudication of election dispute which was already sub-judice before the DGTO. Thus the intention of Nasir Hayyat Magoon was to make an attempt to circumvent the election case proceeding before DGTO.
He said that BMP has again resorted to deceiving the business community and DGTO who is now very well aware of the actual facts and the misappropriation and malpractice perpetrated by BMP with the connivance of the Election Commission. The evidences have proved that Nasir Hayatt Magoon has illegally occupied the office of the President FPCCI abandoning the image of apex body.
UBG spokesperson further said Mr. Khalid Tawab who won the election of president FPCCI is a bono-fide and lawful member of Pakistan Iron Steel Merchants Association for the last more than 2 decades. Khalid Tawab having had the portfolio of chairman of Pakistan Iron Steel Merchants Association and Sr. Vice President of FPCCI is an active income tax & sales tax payer, valid NTN and regularly filing income tax returns and sales tax returns. His company M/s. F Rabi Steel Pvt Ltd is actively incorporated in SECP by regularly filing the requisite forms. Moreover he has had the privilege being conferred export awards by FPCCI.
It was further stated by the spokesperson that the election commission formed last year by BMP was biased and suspicious involved in manipulation in the election process 2021 which was subsequently proved by documentary evidences. The election commission illegally allowed illegitimate trade bodies namely Pakistan -Afghanistan Joint Chamber (PAJC), Loralai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Loralai CCI) to cast their votes while the license of former was issued on 29th December, 2020 and license of later was cancelled by DGTO for non-compliance of TOA and TOR 2013. The DGTO office has submitted its written statement in Honorable High Court Sindh that both the trade bodies had illegally casted their votes with the illegal support of election commission who had unlawfully allowed them. The Pakistan Chemical Manufacturers Association was also unlawfully allowed by the biased election commission to cast their votes. All documentary evidences have been provided to DGTO office and the matter is adjudication at DGTO office.
