LAHORE: Gohar Ejaz group has made clean sweep in All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) annual elections as no nomination papers were filed against the candidates.
Amir Fayyaz has been elected as Punjab Chairman, Syed Ali Ahsan as Senior Vice Chairman, Adil Bashir as Vice Chairman and Ali Pervez as Treasurer of Punjab Zone.
Aamir Fayyaz, Chairman-elect for Punjab, is the grandson of an APTMA founder member. The association was established sixty years ago. He is the third generation Chairman heading the premier textile industry association.
APTMA Spokesman Aneesul Haq said the respect, which the Gohar Ejaz group commands in the APTMA general body, could be gauged from the fact that the opposition could not even file a single member against the Gohar Ejaz panel of 24 members.
It is worth mentioning here that the Gohar Ejaz group had won all the 24 seats against the stalwarts. Since then, the group has maintained 24-0 under Ejaz’s leadership and almost 90 percent of the members fully support the policies and strategies of the group.The spokesman said the Gohar Ejaz group had fielded 24 candidates from all over Pakistan including eleven candidates for the Central Managing Committee out of which six belong to Punjab and five belong to Sindh Zone.
Gohar Ejaz has said that his newly elected team would make efforts to meet the upcoming challenges and avail the opportunities. He said the new leadership would strive for an enabling environment to restore viability and growth of the textile industry and turn Pakistan into a destination for outsourcing of textile business.
