Resignation of Iqbal Alvi from Irtiqa & Financial transparency

Resignation of Iqbal Alvi from Irtiqa & Financial transparency

Iqbal Alvi of Karachi has resigned from IRTQA’s National Committee For Academics (NCA) and here his resignation is pasted below after getting his approval on phone. The reason behind this resignation is issue of financial transparency which reminds us many old splits too. "It is the most important issue and one must shows zero tolerance in this regard" this statement of Alvi ji may sound good but he should also keep in mind management qualities of friends too. Issue is not any particular individual but we should take it as a phenomenon among REDs. As we donot have Rahat saeed’s point of view so one should tries to inquire it too.  According to Karachi based kaleem durrani, who is associated with the IRTAQA , a comitee of seniors had check the issue and after that they told Alvi ji to give some proof in favour of his allegations but Alvi ji resigned. Artiqa was founded by Ali Yawar and his fellows and it is still working. I remember words of Khwaja Masood which he said when i recorded his interview published in Awami Jumhori Forum. While commenting about formation of DSF in 1948 in Punjab he said we had intellegent students with good cadamic record in DSF yet at later stage , during 1960s, i observed that things had been changed. Noe we had student leaders with bad acadamic record.
Such deterioration was not only observed in student or labour politics but  also in developing new institutions. Management skills and transperency was missing or rather had no importance. So one should see Mr Alvi's resignation as a phenomenon so that friends should adress the core issue.

Dear Mr.Wahid Bashir,

Dear Mr .Muqteda Mansur

Dear Mr .Jafar Ahmed

Mr. Rahat Saeed, has issued SMS to members of the EXecutive Committee, of NCA  and asking members to  come to the meeting and "decide what should be done about the malacious attempt at my character assassination".

Dr. Jafar Ahmed, telephoned me to say that he is going to Lahore on Monday 26 April, 2014, therefore, he will not be able to attend the meeting.

A special meeting was  fixed to discuss the report and its findings. In the absence of the convenor and signatory of the report, the discussions will 

not be meaningful. 

I being the complainant of the incident of the misuse of the NCA Funds would like to confront Dr. Jafar Ahmed Saheb himself and find out from him on 

various grey areas in the report. 

The report has established that the funds were given by the donor. A receipt was issued without physical receipt of the cheques just on the 

urging of the recepient  of the cheques Mr. Rahat Saeed. 

There are other matters on which I wish to questoin Dr. Jafar Ahmed, who was present in the EC Meeting held on 12th November 2006. and subsequently signed the minutes as" approved" on 3rd December 2006. Dr. Jafar Ahmed is the Star Witness in this case.

My point is proved beyond doubt that donations received by Mr. Rahat Saeed were not paid to NCA Accounts.

Since the matter is serious the presence of the Star Witness, Dr. Jafar Ahmed, is essentail in any meeting to disucss the report.

I, Iqbal A. Alavi, Finance Secretary  of NCA, officially demand that the meeting be postponed. The next meeting be scheduled with the consent 

of Dr. Jafar Ahmed and he may pelase be asked to ensure his presence. The respected General Secretary Mr.Muqteda Mansur, is requested to 

please take action and advise all concerned. 

My dear friends  I stand as a rock to defend the NCA Constitution, NCA Finances, and would fight against corruption and mismanagement

Of NCA Funds. I am not running away. I am as loyal to NCA as any one else. But as Office bearer I carry more responsibility. Please NOTE

I will not give up and fight to protect the interest of  NCA till I live.

Your humble friend 

Iqbal A. Alavi

Finance Secretary NCA
