Election

Published June 23, 2005

KARACHI, June 22: Mohammad Irfan, leader of the Karachi Electronic Dealers (Irfan Bhai Group), has demanded that new election of the electronic dealers should be held under the supervision of senior traders and media representatives instead of an administrator or government officials.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, he said that 90 per cent of electronic traders now wanted a fresh poll as they were perturbed over the wrong policies of the ruling group. He claimed that the ruling group had destroyed the business of its members and promoted the trade of few companies for their own interest.
