Business Community Doubs PBC Intentions
Islamabad: [April 30]
The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Saturday said business community is sceptical about the real motives of newly formed Pakistan Business Council (PBC).
They feel that there is a distance between cited objectives of the PBC elite and their real intentions, it said.
It is generally believed that PBC comprise of many that belong to famous 22 richest families of Pakistan, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
Members of PBC are also members of powerful lobbies like that of textile and sugar millers, automotive manufacturers and urea, pharma and cement producers; yet they have established another unregistered body to push for their goals, he said.
It is generally conceived that PBC has been formed to get hold of national industrial assets in the name of privatization, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal while talking to Joint Secretary National Traders Alliance Muhammad Amin Pirzada, former president KPK CCI Haji Haleem Jan, Chairman Marble Association Shahid ur Rehman, General Secretary Anjuan-e-Tajiran Malik Mehr Elahi and others.
He said that PBC has nothing to do with sufferings of masses; they are conspiring to weaken the business community in a bid to hijack whole system with the help of their political masters.
The business leaders expressed astonishment that rulers would never find time to meet representatives of traders, industrialists, business chambers even the officials of Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry but would always find time for PBC, an illegal body.
On the occasion, Haji Haleem Jan said that masses and Supreme Court will never allow sale of national assets on throw away prices like the rulers did in recent past. They conspiracy to create gulf between government and business community would be foiled.
Shahid said that Pakistan People's Party would always talk about poor people but would make secret deals with those who always suck the blood of the masses to make illegitimate money.
They have nothing to do with national interests, they are driven by their own petty interest, remarket Pirzada.
