There are 15000 members of the chamber. We are their voice. We have raised awareness for their rights.He said that fifty people of the chamber have hijacked the chamber by denying the rights of these fifteen thousand members. They are fighting for the rights of their members to get rid of them.It should be known to all that fifty people have been in charge of the affairs of fifteen thousand businessmen for thirty five years. Which is a war of their personal interests and business.This is the reason why this group of fifty people does not allow anyone to come forward. Only these fifty people will appear in their programs. Don’t the other members have the right to participate in the events of the chamber?Businessmen are ignorant of the affairs of the Chamber. At least five thousand people must attend the General or Annual Meeting. But only these fifty people show up. Thirty-five years should be counted from them. The closed distribution of the chamber’s budget, license, and plots is limited to these fifty people. I send a message to the business community to join our caravan. Fight for their rights. But these 50 people are just trying to strengthen their business.
Shiekh Abdul Waheed said that the Trader Unity Group wants equality.First is Pakistan. Rawalpindi and the development of the chamber is the top priority of our group. He further said that the current leadership of the chamber built Rawat Industrial Estate. Plots worth crores of rupees were sold.Another industrial estate is being built on Ring Road. Now all eyes are fixed on this estate. These fifty people have gathered on a forum to earn money by acquiring plots.Sheikh Abdul Waheed said that the current leadership of the chamber has made arbitrary recruitments from the officials of the chamber to the guards. The employees of the chamber are also used for the personal work of their homes. People will participate in the elections. We have to strengthen the business affairs. The business community is suffering the most. The policies of the present government are anti-business. If the economy of the country improves, then Pakistan will be prosperous.
