Businessman Panel (BMP) has condemned the shifting of the Regional Office of the Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI) and the appointment of a coordinator to run its affairs as the violation of rules of the apex trade body. The president of the FPCCI has ordered the shifting of the Regional Office of FPCCI from the University Road to the office of the Sarhad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCI) situated on the G T Road with immediate effect. The FPCCI has also appointed a coordinator for running of the office despite presence of a Vice President from the province.
According to Riaz Khattak, a former vice president of FPCCI and leader of the BMP, the Regional Office was like a sour in the eyes of the local leadership of the United Business Group (UBG), which was established due to hectic effort of their leadership.
He expressed the fear that the shifting of the Regional Office to Chamber House, Peshawar will make it subservient to SCCI and will be rendered redaunted.
Critical of the decision of the President, FPCCI, Ghazafar Bilour, he said that the incumbent chief of the apex trade body had also recently closed the Regional Office at Quetta on the pretext of its shifting to Gwadar.
He said that according to the law of the FPCCI, the regional office will be situated in the provincial capital of the province concerned. He said the Regional Office in Balochistan has been closed to seek land and fund for the establishment of the office at Gwadar, which is the violation of the rules and law of the body.
