ISLAMABAD: A team of Pakistan Standard Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) has raided a cooking oil mill owned by ex-director general Federal Investigation Agency Bashir Memon in Sanghar, Sindh.
The raiding team of PSQCA, a subsidiary institution of the Ministry of Science and Technology, tried to seal the industry and harassed employees, claimed the Memon family on Thursday.
“A team of PSQCA raided the Al-Mujtaba Ghee Mills Pvt. Ltd. today [Thursday]. They sought the credentials of the mill and harassed the employees,” ex-DG FIA Bashir Memon told Geo News. The development came two days after the former DG FIA made shocking allegations about the government plan to force him for framing a case against the Supreme Court’s judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa as well as charge Sharifs in a terrorism case linked to late accountability court’s judge Arshad Malik’s video case.

Setting national standards

After a long haul, this month’s (April 7) decision by the Council of Common Interest (CCI) to have uniform food standards in the whole country might be a step in the right direction to evolve internationally competitive regulations.
But for developing a vertical consumer-friendly safe food regulatory regime, the provincial governments have to surrender the power of making standards back to the federal government by amending their food laws, and the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) has to have new legislation altogether. The provincial food regulatory bodies will only have the authority to enforce the federal government standards.
