The Commerce Ministry has taken notice of repeated complaints in Directorate General of Trade Organizations (DGTO) and removed its Director General, Azhar Iqbal and ordered an inquiry against him. The Ministry was reportedly irked by purported corruption in DGTO as parliamentarians, top officials and top businessmen have shared evidences with the Minister and Secretary.
Most of the positions in DGTO comprised the officers of Commerce and Trade (C&T) Group. The action is finally taken on the serious complaint of Senator Ghulam Ali, former chairman, Senate Sanding Committee on Commerce and former president of FPCCI. The then DGTO has a close association with the ruling group of the FPCCI which is against the role of the office of the regulator, sources said.
Similarly, the former CEO TDAP SM Muneer has started threatening the officials of its rival group Businessmen Panel by sending them legal notices in order to stop to highlight his performance as Chief Executive of the TDAP in the sections of media.
Though Muneer claimed that he has taken number of steps to improve the country's economy but exports fell down massively in his outstanding tenure and in result government didn't give him an extension for the office of TDAP.
The BMP officials said instead of given notices to us, it's better S M Muneer should absorb his performance indicators while served as CE of the authority and accept with open heart that he indulge in trade politics during his tenure in TDAP which was the against the rules and regulation of the authority and a novel example that public servant started Trade politics for personal whims in order to grab the affairs of the FPCCI.
