Welcoming the plan of FBR, Federal Revenue Alliance Union’s Abdul Qayyum expressed his concerns that it might be misused by the high officials who themselves are corrupt. Demanding action across the board, he threatened countrywide protest if honest unionists were targeted.
He alleged, “The real aim of the management is to punish the unionists and abandon the union. The FBR will finally include our 20 suspended workers in the category of corrupt officials, though their crime was to raise voice against the atrocities of the chief commissioner in a democratic and legal way,” he said and asked, “Why the chairman has put limitation of grade 1 to 16? High officials cannot make corruption.”
