HYDERABAD, Dec 22 The Sanghar Federation of Commerce and Traders adopted a unique way of teasing a commission agent by ordering his social boycott by businessmen and imposing a fine of Rs1,000 on whoever enters into a deal with him.

The commission agent of Sanghar has appealed to human rights organisations to take notice of the activities of the members of the federation.

Muneer Ahmed Arain speaking at a press conference at the press club on Monday said that his business rivals, claiming to be FTC leaders, in a jirga distributed letters warning of imposing fine on those entering into business deal with him.

He distributed photocopies of the letter among reporters.

The campaign, he said, has intimidated even medical stores, milkmen and barbers who refuse to sell him medicines, milk or even trim hair of his children. This social boycott is inflicting huge loss to him, he said.

In an answer to a query, he said that the reason of his social boycott was his refusal to accept the decision of the so-called federation in a business transaction.

To another, he said that the federation is not registered with the relevant government department.
