Despite the deteriorating law and order situation in the country resulting in turning away of large number of investors, the government hierarchy remains busy in benefiting specific people and companies. FBR has imposed 8% duty on polyethylene terephthalate resin and other products for the benefits of a certain company. In this regard, the letter from Transparency International (TI), the advice of Federal Minister Saleem Mandviwala and the policy note of the Competition Commission of Pakistan have also been ignored. At this TI showed its concerns but FBR did not take any notice of the matter, and thus the monopoly of the specific company continues. Industrial circles are of the view that the responsible officials must take notice of the matter, and the duty-structure must be equal for all companies.
