Lahore | Riaz Hussain ReNews Pakistan Shahan Ahmed Sheikh, Chairman of DHA Awami Business Group, President of Anjuman-e-Tajran DHA Board and CEO of Shahan Associates, has urged all groups, candidates and members of the DHA real estate community to uphold ethics, civility and professional standards during the forthcoming elections. Speaking to ReNews Pakistan, Sheikh said elections were a democratic process through which the community chose its leadership by majority vote. Differences of opinion, however, should never be used to justify personal attacks or undermine anyone’s dignity. Describing all electoral groups, candidates and community members as deserving of respect, he stressed that disagreements should centre on logic, arguments and ideas. Promoting civil debate instead of ridicule and accusations was a collective responsibility, he added. Sheikh said members must respect one another to strengthen the real estate community’s standing in society. As colleagues working in the same sector, they should be recognised for their conduct, ethics and professionalism. He appealed for a positive and constructive electoral contest that would contribute to the community’s dignity, unity and progress.
