FIA is considered to be the premier Law enforcement agency in
Pakistan. But this line for cement agency personnel have many complaints from
their own department. Since its inception, this organization is faced with
influx of police services of Pakistan PSP Group officers and political
appointees. Each PSP who was either misfit in a provincial police or was
notorious for incompetence and corruption was adjusted in FIA. Similarly every
influential elite tried its level best to induct his offspring in this God
forsaken entity. The glaring example is that of an Ex chief justice whose son
was adjusted in FIA in violation of all rules and regulations. Some PSPs were
fortunate enough to spend a luxury time from SP ship till their attaining
superannuation. This factor has badly damaged FIA as the PSPs and political
appointees did all the corruption yet they were able to roam around freely
without any accountability. This practice is still prevalent even in the era of
the incumbent DG. Nowadays a BPS-19 PSP officer is calling all the shots in FIA.
Interestingly the said officer has been ordered by the August Supreme Court of
Pakistan to be repatriated as he was inducted in Sindh police at the orders of a
PPP stalwart. The PSPs are so dominant that recently nominations were sought
from FIA for UN peace mission. One PSP who is serving as Additional Director in
FIA while responding to UNSAT sent his own name from FIA. It shows that no
person from FIA's own cadre was eligible to be nominated. All the major
trainings, workshops and conferences to be held in USA and Europe are
manipulated by PSPs who are supposed to serve here for a limited time. Even
National Police Bureau does not consider FIA as police force yet every Police
officer is ready to die for it. The incumbent DG FIA Bashir Memon who is himself
a PSP officer has engulfed this organization with a PSP lot of his own choice.
FIA has opened its link offices in Turkey, United Kingdom, Dubai, Spain, Greece,
Malaysia, Italy and Mascot but PSPs are the first choice to run these offices.
This is a very disappointing state of affairs for FIA's own officers whose fate
is marred with delayed promotions, non lucrative postings and baseless enquiries
on frivolous charges. It is very strange when an Anti corruption agency staff
start crying against the corruption done to it. Yes it's true the agency is FIA
and the victims are its own employees. The FIA ECHSL was registered in 1984
under the Cooperative Societies Act 1925 and it was made functional at the end
of year 2015. The then management comprised of Mr. Khalid Mehmood as General
Secretary, Mr. Ihsan ul Haq as President, Executive Member Mr. Muhammad Saeed
Anwar and other office bearers in sharp alliance with M/s Manhattan Pakistan
International (MPI) owned by Ch. Javed Sabir, Mr.Mudassir Ali and Mr.Mudassir
Aziz cheated the members at large of the housing society. The FIA employees
deposited their lifelong hard earned money with a hope to have a roof of their
own but they were cheated and made a victim of deception and fraud. The said
accused who were custodians of the trust and were supposed to proceed for the
betterment and welfare of the members adopted their activities synonymous to the
property dealers and real estate agents. The JIT report of FIA officers coupled
with the report compiled by Deputy Commissioner Islamabad has established that
the accused firm has sold some 162 kanals of land of Botanical Garden which
actually belonged to another Federal government organization called Geological
Survey of Pakistan. It is on record that millions of rupees have been paid on
the basis of bogus ownership papers of 50 kanals. Millions of rupees were paid
to the accused firm even after their failure to provide land to FIA housing
society within the stipulated time. The fake and fictitious firm was got
registered with Registrar of Firms as named and styled of Manhattan Pakistan
International (MPI) Islamabad only 10 days thereafter, the accused mutually and
fraudulently executed a Joint Venture (JV) for the development of housing
society and the real actor behind the whole scene was Malik Din, Ex-Circle
Registrar Islamabad, presently convicted and confined in Adiala Jail. But
despite two reports of FIA JIT and DC Islamabad no action has been taken so far
against the culprits. The FIA Employees have started approaching different forum
including NAB for the recovery of their money as the current DG FIA Mr.Bashir
Memon has been proved to be an obstacle in the way of legal action against the
accused. DG FIA takes pride that he took action against Asif Zardari and others
but he is not interested to register case against the criminals within the ranks
of FIA. What a shameful situation. The minister of Interior Brigadier Ijaz Shah
and Secretary Interior Major Azam Suleiman should play their role in this regard
as FIA employees are in shambles.
