Pakistan Computer Association (PCA) has expressed serious concern over the torture of Islamabad police on Shaban Khalid, President of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), and appealed Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to take notice of unfortunate incident against a peaceful businessman of federal capital.
According to a press release issued by the PCA here on Sunday, Munwar Iqbal, Chairman of PCA, said that business community of Islamabad has nothing to do with ongoing agitations and Dharnas in the federal capital. The incident took place on the Margalla Road where a police van was carrying activists of a political party on September 13. Hearing hue and cry of prisoners, Shaban came out of his car and took a picture of the prison van. This annoyed the police and they broke the windows of the car of President of ICCI and brutally tortured him. They also snatched mobile phone from him. He was ready to delete picture of prison van, but police was not ready to hear his view point. The mental and physical torture caused to a prominent businessman of Islamabad is a matter of great concern during current circumstances.
Munwar Iqbal stated that business community of Blue Area is already suffering huge losses due to closure of roads, blockages and containers creating problems for the routine customers to reach business offices and vendors shops etc. Moreover, the business and trade of Islamabad has no linkage or connections with these kinds of agitations in federal capital.
The Chairman of PCA has requested the Minister of Interior Ch Nisar to ensure security of businessmen of Islamabad and take action against those police personal who destroyed the vehicle of President of ICCI, he added.
Under current situation in Islamabad, special attention to be provided to the businessmen of federal capital for carrying out day to day business activities, Munwar Iqbal added.-PR
