UBG, BMPP plan 100-day programme to address issues facing businessmen

KARACHI: United Business Group (UBG) and Businessmen Panel Progressive (BMPP) have joined forces to contest upcoming elections at the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI). At a press conference in Korangi, UBG's Patron-in-Chief and FPCCI presidential candidate S.M. Tanveer and BMPP Chairman Saquib Fayyaz Magoon announced the continuation of their four-year alliance for the elections.

The partnership aims to bolster FPCCI's reputation and influence, assemble a robust economic team to handle its affairs, and advocate for the business community's interests. The alliance has crafted a detailed 100-day program to tackle the challenges faced by businesses nationwide.

BMPP Chairman Saquib Fayyaz Magoon pledged his full backing to UBG leader S.M. Tanveer, who dismissed allegations of him not being a Karachiite as baseless and fabricated by the opposition, which he claimed had lost credibility. Tanveer asserted his widespread support throughout Pakistan, including Islamabad, Karachi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Balochistan.

He highlighted his membership in various local and national organizations like KCCI, Karachi Press Club, and Arts Council of Pakistan. Tanveer claimed that UBG and BMPP have maintained a strong relationship, with BMPP remaining a key part of their team during their anticipated victory. Magoon also praised Tanveer's leadership and Fayyaz Magoon's three-year tenure as Senior Vice President, deeming both as outstanding.
