Senator Faisal Vawda strongly criticized a “federal income officer of the income council (FBR) about social ill -treatment” and demanded the agent’s immediate dismissal, not the suspension.
The senator’s reaction occurred on viral tours on social media representing an official of the Karachi traffic police uniform intercepting an unregistered vehicle carrying the FBR logo and no license plate.
In a tweet shared on X, Vawda expressed its disappointment only “neither the Prime Minister, nor the Minister of Finance, nor the President of the FBR had yet taken measures against the official”. He noted that he had maintained solid labor relations with them for the progress of the country.
“It should be noted that the suspension is not enough. This officer, who behaves like a tyrant with the very public that he is paid to serve, must be dismissed from the service,” said the senator, qualifying such a “unacceptable conduct in any situation”.
