Although SM Tanveer is the Patron-in-Chief of UBG, he never participated in the meeting of UBG, while Gohar Ijaz had no connection with UBG, but even after the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa(KPK) Haji Ghulam Ali became the Governor, he was in the Federation. Incumbent businessmen have been attending the panel meetings even though we congratulated him when he became the governor because he belonged to the business community.

PCCI is active to weaken the institutions, while former Federal Minister Khawaja Asif has told in the House that Irfan Iqbal Sheikh is involved in smuggling, so the action taken by the Army Chief against smuggling should also be paid attention to.
Mirza Ikhtiar Baig said that the largest organization of the country’s business community, the federation has failed miserably in playing its role in the economy. Legally, the president of FPCCI has the authority to spend up to 100 thousand rupees, but the current president At the same time, he spent crores of rupees from the treasury of the federation, the expenditure of more than 100 thousand rupees is illegal, so the money spent should be recovered from Irfan Iqbal Sheikh.
Ahmed Chenoy said that the 4-year long The performance of FPCCI was worst in the period and the current president could not give effective policies to the government in the better interest of the business community, the current president of FPCCI has been called controversial and his face in front of the business community of Pakistan.
It has become evident because in the fire of revenge, he slandered Pakistan’s famous businessmen Gohra Ijaz and SM Tanveer, who always taught the business community to be united.
