Mr. Riaz Ahmed, Senior-Vice Chairman PCMEA asked the Chairman PCMEA Mr. Parvez Sajjad that there is very much nuisance in the sound, kindly speak one-by-one upon which Chairman said I request both circles to switch off all phone/mikes except one. Now we may start the discussion on the subject matters. Giving the briefing to the Karachi members, the Northern Circle informed the members that the agenda # 3 & 4 were already discussed & approved the enclosed resolution in our Northern Circle meeting held on January 06, 2021. No further discussion made on above the points. Mr. Parvez Sajjad inquired the members of Southern Circle regarding the resolution; accordingly, the house approved the enclosed resolution.

Issue of Association’s Southern Circle’s Plot (new agreement).

Taking-up the subject agenda, Mr. Parvez Sajjad, Chairman PCMEA abreast the house that the Association had Rs:33,078,000/- against the sale of Association’s plot, he added, it was also agreed that the purchaser will also give us 03 shops and 02 flats in one of his project details of which are mentioned below against the remaining payment of selling amount. 

 

  1. Shop # G-03, Ground Floor, Road Facing, measuring 180 sq ft
  2. Shop # G-20, Ground Floor, Road Facing, measuring 310 sq ft.
  3. Shop # G-21, Ground Floor, Road Facing, measuring 372 sq ft.
  4. Flat # 1-B/901, 5 Rooms Apartment, measuring 2100 sq ft.
  5. Flat # 2-C/108, 4 Rooms Apartment, measuring 1550 sq ft.

 

The Chairman PCMEA said still there was no response from the purchaser of the plot regarding the above properties, accordingly, the plot committee asked Mr. Naeem Sajid to pursue the matter in this regard and then we have come to know that the decision of the case which was lying in the court was not in the favor of PCMEA.

 

Sharing the detail of the plot, Mr. Naeem Sajid informed the house that in 2012 an agreement was signed between the purchaser of the plot and PCMEA according to which Rs:2.00 millions had to pay by the Association to the purchaser of the plot being the different charges regarding the 03 shops and 02 flats, but, in 2016 the Revenue Department initiated to cancel our plot, against which the purchaser Hanif Yousuf filed a suit in the High Court in that he also nominated PCMEA, and the PCMEA hired services of a lawyer namely Mr. Khalid Javed, Advocate, afterward,  there  was  another  case  No. 440/2017  filed by one Mr. Pannah Pirano in 2017 in which he claimed to be the owner of aforesaid plot, and requested the Hon’able High Court to cancel our ( PCMEA’s) title and acknowledge him as the owner of the aforesaid plot. Furthermore, after the proceedings of suit, the petitioner Pannah Pirano was acknowledged by the High Court and after which Pannah Pirano and Mr. Hanif Yousuf got a settlement decree in the  above  suit and all the pending suits were attached to this suit 440/2017 and were settled by the High Court in which the purchaser of plot Mr. Hanif Yousuf paid 45.00 (Million) to Mr. Pannah Pirano through the High Court and the suit was settled in May 2019, and we lost, and this came in our knowledge after  almost  two years ( i.e. .February  2021 )

Mr. Naeem Sajid further said, when I was Chairman PCMEA, also approached to the DG NAB Sindh regarding this matter, and all the correspondence between PCMEA & NAB is on the record in the files of PCMEA, he added, the lawyer, neither pursued the case properly nor updated the PCMEA in this regard, with the result the decision of the plot was in the favor of the petitioner of suit number 440/2017 Mr. Pannah Pirano.

Mr. Naeem Sajid further described that when he met with Mr. Faisal Yousuf and Mr. Hanif Yousuf purchaser of the plot, informed me all these facts about the Association’s Plot and showed me a court’s decree, the purchaser of the plot had told me that Rs:60/millions was incurred in this whole process, and the purchaser asked Mr. Naeem Sajid that the Association should now refund the amount which they have paid to the Association.

After the above briefing from the Southern Circle, the Northern Circle Mr. Naeem Sajid said that Mr. Shahid Rashid Malik, Mr. Tanveer Muzaffar and all other seniors know what were the complications in this plot.

 

 

 

 

 

After the above briefing from the Southern Circle, the Northern Circle said we already know about this, now you come to the conclusion of a new agreement.

Mr. Naeem Sajid said we requested the buyer to be sincere with us regarding the plot matter as you were already constructing various housing projects, he added, we  proposed  the purchaser of the plot that the expense which was incurred at this plot may be divided @ the ratio of 50:50 percent between you and PCMEA which comes to Rs:22.50 (M) each and after deducting Rs:22.50(M) out of actual receivable amount Rs:33.078 (M) Rs:10.06 (millions), he added, Mr.  Naeem Sajid used his personal sources and pressurized Mr. Hanif Yousuf to pay the Association a little more, which came to a conclusion of Rs:14.078 (millions) so that a new agreement between the purchaser & PCMEA could be signed & purchaser will pay Rs: Rs:14.078 (million) to PCMEA. The purchaser of the plot agreed and said that I do respect late Abdul Ghafoor Sajid as he was very much kind and cooperative during the hurdles and problems in this regard.

Sharing the detail of new agreement, Mr. Naeem Sajid briefed the house that as per new agreement, the purchaser would pay the Association Rs:14.078 (Million), at this point, Mr. Abdul Latif Malik, member of (N.C) commented that the Association make sure and bound the buyer regarding the amount which he will pay the Association. He also suggested that the said agreement will be approved by The AGM accordingly, replying to the comments; Mr. Naeem Sajid said we will invite the buyer in our AGM to bound him for his commitment.

 

Regarding the plot committee, Mr. Abdul Latif Malik enquired about the convener, Mr. Naeem Sajid replied him that Mr. Tanwir Muzaffar was the convener of the said committee, however, today, he is not here due to his poor health. Accordingly, the house recommended the name of Mr. Zahid Nazir being a new convener of the said committee, afterward, the house informed the following names of the plot committee members:-

 

  1. Mr. Mr. Zahid Nazir.                Convener.
  2. Mr. Nadeem Sajid.                 Co-Convener.
  3. Mr. Tanwir Muzaffar.               Member.
  4. Mr. M. Naeem Khokhar.         .   “
  5. Mr. Shahid Rashid Malik.           “

.

Mr. Abdul Latif Malik suggested you should consult the lawyer that if the cheque is not clear in time then we should initiate the action. Commenting the point, the Chairman PCMEA said we assure you that we will try our best to be clear and transparent with the plot buyer. He said the members of Southern Circle are approving this deal & we asked the Northern Circle about this approval? Northern Circle replied yes, we all approving this new agreement.

 

Mr. Naeem Sajid inquired Mr. Zahid Nazir regarding the copy of new agreement is shared with Northern Circle? Mr. Zahid Nazir replied him affirmative.

Mr. Zafar Idrees Soleja enquired his email regarding the matter of Shaikh Khalid Saeed. Mr. Parvez Sajjad, Chairman PCMEA directed the Zafar Soleja with the Northern Circle on phone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sharing the details, Mr. Zafar Soleja said the affected members of Southern Circle had submitted the application regarding the matter of Shaikh Khalid Saeed, but, still neither we have received any positive response yet nor the membership of Shaikh Khalid Saeed was suspended so far despite a case filed on the Association by Shaikh Khalid Saeed. Giving the past example for the cancellation of membership one of the members of Southern Circle, namely Shaikh Zahid Hassan of M/s Habib Carpets (Pvt) Ltd, Karachi, he said the PCMEA exercising dual policy with the members.

 

Showing the resentment, Mr. Zafar Soleja said despite all the facts, even today, Shaikh Khalid Saeed was sitting with your circle & enjoying the post. Mr. Zafar Soleja urged the Northern Circle to cancel the membership of Shaikh Khalid Saeed. Replying him, the members of Northern Circle said we discuss the matter in our Circle and let you know the outcome of the same.

Chairman Pcmea allowed to proceed Mr. Jaffer Soleja said why the Pcmea could not implement the recent court decision against Sheikh Khalid VS PCMEA and others. He said that he as well as other aggrieved members are very much disappointed that if Pcmea is helpless even to implement his own dispute committee and further court approved decision how we can recover out amount. He further said that your former Sr. Vice-Chairman Pcmea Mr. Riaz Ahmed during his previous tenure said if Sheikh Khalid Saeed is not paying y our disputed amount but he is paying to others same time, so this statement of Mr. Riaz Ahmed Sr. Vice-Chairman  remarks were not good. He further said that one hand Pcmea says we have no money but Pcmea had paid its 50% share against the last payment to M/s.

Agenda Item No.5

Updation of PCMEA Articles of Association as required by DGTO, Islamabad.

Chairman PCMEA briefed the House that Directorate of Trade Organization Islamabad  raised a query that PCMEA Memorandum & Article of Association should be updated as per Companies Act 2017, so that our license applied may be renewed. To do the needful PCMEA (S.C) hired a legal professional Mr. Barkatullah to amend the PCMEA Articles Association as per Companies Act 2017. Mr. Abdul Latif Malik said that his feedback was not satisfactory, therefore Chairman PCMEA with the consultation of other Executive Members decided to hire well-known and reputed law firm from Lahore M/s. Hassan & Hassan. Chairman PCMEA and Mr. Abdul Latif Malik said that due to poor financial condition PCMEA Lahore office could not pay the legal fee to do the above service to the said law firm therefore PCMEA (S.C) would pay the whole fee by themselves. Senior Vice Chairman Mr. Naeem Sajid said that our Executive member Sheikh Zahid Hassan, and other member present says that the same should be shared on 50:50 basis between both circles. Mr. Zahid Hassan sheikh said that it was not a good sign that to make the payment by one circle only.

But Mr. Abudl Latif Malik and Chairman PCMEA said that our all EC members present here have a unanimously opinion that professional fee charged should be borne by PCMEA head office because PCMEA(NC) has no funds in hand so majority votes were in favour that PCMEA (SC) will pay all legal fee which comes to Rs-100,000/- subject to actual once work is done.

 

 

 

Agenda Item No.6

PCMEA Financial crisis. Suggestion by Committee members.

Chairman PCMEA said that PCMEA Lahore office is facing the financial crisis as there is no permanent source of income besides the annual exhibition which is still not confirmed due to Pandemic crisis. Therefore I would strongly recommend after the consultation of my executive body that head office should allocate us an amount of Rs.20 Million to create an endowment fund so that PCMEA monthly administrative nature expenses may be met with the income generated against the said endowment fund. PCMEA (S.C) Senior Vice-Chairman said we will share our feedback soon outcome after the consultation with our members. Regarding above subject, the Southern Circle Senior Vice Chairman said the subject matter will be discussed in the circle committee and will be updated to the Northern Circle.

Agenda Item No.7

Permanent Computer Operator for PCMEA Head Office appointment.

Chairman said for the last many years PCMEA head office has hired a Computer operator who works only for two hours and when any urgent email or work needs to be done the same is forwarded to Lahore office for further pursuance. This practice is not acceptable and must be ended.PCMEA(SC) should immediately appoint an educated, qualified having knowhow about IT industry as well as research work data search. The Sr. Vice-Chairman said we would do the needful as desired without further delay. Regarding above subject, the Southern Circle Senior Vice Chairman said the subject matter will be discussed in the circle committee and will be updated to the Northern Circle.

Agenda Item No.8

FPCCI Nomination for General Body and Executive Member for 2022.

Sharing the views on the subject agenda, Mr. Zahid Nazir, former V.C of Southern Circle said, I requested to nominate the EC member for FPCCI from Karachi & for General Body from Lahore because to make visit Karachi for FPCCI meetings etc is ruled out for a EC member if he belongs to Lahore. Mr. Naeem Sajid, Senior-V.C informed the house that on October 14 he attended a meeting in FPCCI himself & in this meeting it was mentioned that only EC members of FPCCI will attend the meetings of FPCCI.

Chairman briefed the House that PCMEA Lahore Office has unanimously decided to endorse Mr. Muhammad Akbar Malik name for the post of Executive committee member FPCCI for 2022 Giving the remarks, the Chairman PCMEA said since a long it has been practiced & rotation in PCMEA regarding the EC member for FPCCI, & this practice should be continued, taking a part into discussion, Mr. Abdul Latif Malik said as far as the issues of the Association are concerned, the same we solve ourselves, but, as regards the EC membership of FPCCI, the existing practice should be followed. Mr. Naeem Sajid and Mr. Zahid Nazir said that we should reconsider his name and appoint a person from Karachi because person based at Karachi may easily attend any FPCCI scheduled meetings as compared to a person based at Lahore due to travelling cost factor. Chairman PCMEA and Malik Abdul Latif said as per past practice executive member FPCCI and appointed one year from Lahore and one year from Karachi. Mr. Naeem Sajid and Mr. Zahid Nazir said house that this practice should be terminated. Chairman said all executive members present in the Lahore (NC) are unanimously we endorsed Mr. Muhammad Akbar Malik as member Executive Body for FPCCI. Mr. Naeem Sajid after consultation with members finally agreed and Mr. Akbar Malik name finalized, for General Body from PCMEA(SC) Mr.Zahid Nazir name finalized.

 

 

 

Agenda Item No.9

Any other matter with the permission of the chair.

Mr. Naeem Sajid, Sr. Vice-Chairman PCMEA said that our executive member Sheikh Zahid Hassan wants to say something. Chairman PCMEA allowed to go ahead. Sheikh Zahid Hassan said I want to protest that since 13 years there was only a member who has been becoming Election Commissioner of PCMEA’s Elections, he said, the same slot should also be rotated between both circles instead of following the practice, replying him, the Chairman PCMEA said your point has been noted however as it relates to PCMEA annual elections therefore it should be properly addressed and further followed up at the time of PCMEA next annual elections. So you should raise your point in that executive committees where when next election schedule will be announced.

With the permission of the chair regarding the matter of M.I. Khan, Mr. Salim Ansari said according to the available documents on record, Sheikh Khalid Saeed was the sole owner of M/s. M.I. Khan, as he was holding 100% shares of M/s. M. I. Khan, Hamburg – Germany up to 2014.  He also  said, according to his knowledge, Sheikh Khalid Saeed is also going to spend more money on this case, he questioned, that why the Association’s money is being spent on him, giving the past example, Mr. Ansari said, one side the membership were canceled of Sheikh Zahid Hassan, on the other-side Sheikh Khalid Saeed still a member of PCMEA. Replying to him, the Chairman PCMEA said, as per Memorandum & Articles of the Association, the membership is canceled on the ground of offence/crime committed by the members, otherwise, the Association is not empowered to cancel the membership to any of its members.

Sharing the viewpoint, Mr. Zafar Soleja said now the decision has been received and since as per record, Sheikh Khalid Saeed was the owner of M/s M.I. Khan, the Northern Circle may play its role to implement the decision in this regard. As regards the payment of court fee regarding M.I. Khan case, Mr. Naeem Sajid, Senior-V.C said we may morally request to the respective member, but, we cannot force him in either way, Mr. Zafar Soleja said it seems that we will have to approach the court-of-law in this regard. Concluding the discussion on this topic, the Chairman PCMEA said we will try to solve the issue in an amicable environment.  Mr. Zafar Soleja said why the PCMEA may not implement the recent court decision against Sheikh Khalid VS PCMEA and others. He said that he as well as other aggrieved members are very much disappointed that if PCMEA is helpless to implement its own dispute committee and further court approved decision how we can recover our amount. Chairman said we cannot implement the court decision or PCMEA dispute resolving committee decision by force, but morally we are on it and we all will try to sort it out where all parties involved would be agreed.

He further said that your circle former Sr. Vice-Chairman Mr. Riaz Ahmed during his previous last tenure said “Incase Sheikh Khalid Saeed is not paying you but he is paying to others”, so this statement of Mr. Riaz Ahmed former Sr. Vice-Chairman  remarks were not satisfactory. He further said that one hand PCMEA says we have no money but on the other hand PCMEA had paid its 50% share against the last payment to M/s. Hassan & Hassan (advocates) through their official account, did they recover from PCMEA members “No”.

Chairman PCMEA said that Mr. Riaz Ahmed former Sr. Vice-Chairman wants to say something against your recent above quoted remarks against him. Mr. Riaz Ahmed said I can on oath undertake that I did not say any such thing quoted above by Mr. Zafar Soleja and further the case was on PCMEA so if we will not pay and fight the same PCMEA should be ready to face the consequences. Closing the discussion

Since there was no other matter left pending Chairman thanks the house and adjourned the meeting with a vote of thanks to the chair.

He further added that he attended this meeting online via ZOOM however PCMEA (S.C) Senior Vice-Chairman and Mr. Zahid Nazir Executive Member attended the said meeting in person. He said due to dysfunctional and non operational CTI at Karachi, the board members were willing to take a unanimous decision that CTI seems non operational since ages and this shows lack of interest by the PCMEA and therefore PCMEA is responsible for its non operational status. However PCMEA Chairman briefed the House that we have requested the worthy board members to give us a few months time and definitely we will share its operational activity as soon as possible.

Regarding the above subject, Mr. Parvez Sajjad commented that we will try to have students and provide them training in knotting. He added we will also provide them Rs:15,000/- p/month. Replying to him, the Chairman said, ok, Southern Circle go ahead.

The Senior-Vice Chairman also said we are also going to hold a Circle meeting and the subject matter will also discuss in details.Concluding the remarks on the subject point, Mr. Abdul Latif Malik said we will have to work hard to run the both circle CTI existence is because of PCMEA.

Mr. Abdul Latif Malik said that we are already running short of time and there is no need to further think whether to start working for the reactivation of CTI Karachi, they said Karachi office has to show their working and CTI should be operational in case they cannot do so they should officially surrender so that it may be in writing that CTI Karachi Carpet Training Institute has been closed due to its non operational function. PCMEA former Sr. Vice-Chairman Mr. Riaz Ahmed said they should start working to increase EDF and start the liquidation process. Chairman PCMEA said now it is unanimously agreed that PCMEA (SC) will share their feasible project next week so that we can implement and share some concrete results with EDF Ministry of Commerce.
