Did @engro_group or its subsidiary Enfrashare participate in drafting, lobbying for, promoting, or facilitating the passage of this controversial legislation through the National Assembly? The public deserves a clear answer.
@PakPMO & @GovtofPakistan should investigate ? #Engro
Ethically @engro_group should publicly clarify whether Enfrashare, Pakistan’s largest independent tower infrastructure company, had any involvement in advancing this deeply controversial legislation.
@PakPMO and @GovtofPakistan must establish the facts. @CMShehbaz
Mr. Prime Minister (@CMShehbaz): Guard and protect your repute at all costs and have @engro_group publicly clarify whether Engro Connect, Engro Enfrashare, Deodar, their executives, consultants, industry associations, or representatives provided any written or verbal input regarding the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organization) (Amendment) Bill, 2026?
This is not an unreasonable request.
Engro Connect describes itself as the owner of Pakistan’s largest independent tower platform, comprising Engro Enfrashare and Deodar and more than 14,000 towers. The National Assembly-passed bill would directly affect the commercial and regulatory environment in which tower companies operate.
Section 27A grants sweeping access and usage rights for telecom towers, fiber, and related infrastructure; provides for deemed approval in certain cases; prohibits several public and collectively managed property owners from charging rent or compensation; and permits fines of up to Rs. 50 million for obstruction or delay.
The Senate committee has now deferred the bill after serious objections concerning property rights, land access, deemed consent, fee-free use of property, and the extraordinary penalties contemplated by the draft. The National Assembly committee chairman has reportedly acknowledged that the inclusion of telecom towers was overlooked during the committee’s final consideration, while the Ministry of IT maintains that the bill does not authorize compulsory acquisition or forced entry onto individually owned private property. These conflicting explanations make full disclosure essential.
Public records do not presently prove that Engro or Engro Enfrashare prepared or promoted this bill. They do show, however, that Engro Enfrashare previously participated in PTA industry consultations in which right-of-way difficulties were raised by participating telecom companies.
@engro_group should therefore disclose every submission, meeting, proposed amendment, communication, and policy recommendation made by its companies or representatives to the Ministry of IT, PTA, parliamentary committees, and industry bodies concerning right-of-way legislation.
Did any Engro entity seek the inclusion of towers, deemed approvals, fee waivers, compensation restrictions, or the Rs. 50 million penalty? A company of Engro’s size and public standing should answer these questions directly.

📉 Rs. 676 Billion Cannot Be Ignored
Estimated annual tax losses from illegal tobacco and cigarettes, smuggled petroleum products, and illegal tires and lubricants together reach roughly Rs. 676 billion. These are not minor market leakages.
@PakPMO@GovtofPakistan@FBRSpokesperson, please protect the legal economy by maintaining coordinated, year-round action against illegal business mafias operating across these sectors.

Honorable MNAs @AsadQaiserPTI and @ShahramKTarakai misstated the tobacco industry’s documented position while speaking on the floor of @NAofPakistan. The Rs. 390 amount is not an additional farmer burden; it is an advance-adjustable mechanism intended to monitor manufacturers and commercial transactions. Facts must not be replaced by political messaging.
@PakPMO@GovtofPakistan@CMShehbaz should respectfully reject every form of pressure from inside or outside Parliament and continue decisive enforcement against illegal cigarette trade and its undocumented financial networks.

The legal market once paid taxes on 67 billion sticks. The figure is now 36.5 billion. The illegal cigarette mafia steals over $1 billion yearly. Immediate enforcement is required.
Where is the tax revenue from at least 30.5 billion missing cigarettes going?
@GovtofPakistan@PakPMO@FBRSpokesperson
#BehtareenPakistan #StopTaxEvasion #AbKhasaraNahiGawara
The illegal cigarette mafia has turned tax theft into a business model. Over Rs. 400 billion disappears from Pakistan’s revenues every year, and no one knows where it lands. It could fuel crime and instability.
@PakPMO@GovtofPakistan@FBRSpokesperson@OfficialDGISPR should continue enforcement against illegal cigarette trade.
#EndIllegalCigaretteMafia #Pakistan #Economy #IllegalCigarettesFundTerrorism
The record says one thing; Honorable MNAs @AsadQaiserPTI and @ShahramKTarakai say another from Parliament’s floor. Their narrative appears rooted less in evidence and more in a carefully imagined tobacco-policy lala-land.
The illegal cigarette mafia and illegal cigarette trade remain a measurable economic cancer, stealing nearly Rs. 400 billion in taxes yearly. Their actual trade could reach approximately Rs. 1,000 billion.
@GovtofPakistan should continue uncompromising enforcement, reject every form of political pressure, and hold illegal manufacturers, traders, and promoters answerable under law.
Nobody knows where this money goes. It could finance terror and create instability by design, because illegal economies depend upon weak and unsettled institutions.

Stop the Revenue Bleeding
Illegal operators in petroleum, oils and lubricants, real estate, tobacco and cigarettes, sugar, tea, and pharma do not only evade taxes; they steal market share from lawful businesses that report sales and pay dues.
Pakistan’s fair economy needs continuous enforcement against these mafias, not temporary campaigns.

@PakPMO@CMShehbaz@GovtofPakistan@FBRSpokesperson
The illegal cigarette mafia and the illegal cigarette trade are not minor enforcement issues. They represent a major leakage from Pakistan’s tax system, with more than $1 billion evaded every year. We respectfully request continued leadership from the Prime Minister and sustained FBR action to protect the economy and support compliant tobacco businesses.
#BehtareenPakistan #AbKhasaraNahiGawara #StopTaxEvasion #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia #Trade #Economy
No country can afford to lose over Rs. 400 billion annually to the illegal cigarette mafia. No one knows where this money goes after tax theft, and it could create crime-financing and national security risks.
@PakPMO@GovtofPakistan@FBRSpokesperson@OfficialDGISPR are requested to continue enforcement.

Tax stamps guarantee product legality. @GovtofPakistan and @FBRSpokesperson must implement rigorous monitoring to combat stamp fraud, as it ensures: Legality, protects against counterfeiting, safeguards revenue, and promotes equitable trade. #EndIllegalTobbacoTrade#Economy #Pakistan
