Bhatta contained in Karachi: CEO Lucky Energy
Resurfacing of extortion gangs to jeopardise peace, economy
Islamabad: [October 14]
Bhatta collection which has remained part of the culture of Karachi since decades has largely been controlled providing some peace of mind to the business community, a leading businessman said.
The practice of visiting businessmen for extortion has been arrested after the action by law enforcing agencies which has improved the overall environment, said Suhail Tabba, Chief Executive of Lucky Energy.
Talking to Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the Pakistan Economy Watch, he said that there will be no peace and prosperity in Pakistan unless crimes are curbed in Karachi.
Law and order is the biggest problems which can be only resolved if government has zero tolerance policy towards law-breakings, Suhail Tabba, who is also director of Lucky Cement, underlined.
Chairman APTMA Sindh-Balochistan Region Yasin Siddike said that extortion has become a profitable business in which some elements were making billions at the cost of business community which is already reeling under energy shortages.
The extortionists should not be allowed to reappear on the scene as the state is duty bound to protect the life and property of its citizens in accordance with law, he said.
Siddike said that law and order situation and energy shortages have crippled textile industry which should be seen as a threat to our fragile economy.
At the occasion, Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that it will be difficult for the political parties to purge themselves of criminal elements which is evident from their statements.
Therefore, he said, the administration needs to rediscover its capacity to deal with crimes before launching an effective deweaponisation campaign.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that working of law enforcing agencies need to be improved as their failure push people to buy weapons for personal safety which has added to the problem.
He said that businesses should be encouraged to provide the names the people and parties demanding Bhatta which is dubbed by some as a national security issue.
People involved in ransom, abduction and exaction should be stamped out through indiscriminate action so that people feel comfortable again, he demanded.
