Kamran Tessori (Urdu: کامران ٹیسوری) is a Pakistani politician and businessman, currently serving as the Governor of Sindh[3] since 9 October 2022.[4] Tessori is a member of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan party.[5]
Personal life
[edit]Tessori is an ethnic Muhajir,[6] and belongs to the Tessori family, who runs an international gold business called "Tessori Gold". He is the only politician in his family.[7]
Political career
[edit]He established contacts with Arbab Ghulam Rahim who was the Chief Minister of Sindh at the time in order to enter politics. He was later considered a close aide to him.[8]
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has put forward Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori's name as a potential candidate for the interim Prime Minister role. In a recent meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, the MQM delegation, led by Khalid Maqbool Siddique, had a warm reception. The delegation included Tessori, Dr Farooq Sattar, and Syed Aminul Haq.[9]
Arrest
[edit]He was arrested in 2008 for being involved in a real estate land scam. The land which was 80 acres and a historical graveyard, was allegedly allotted to him by Arbab Ghulam Rahim who was the 27th Chief Minister of Sindh at the time to build a new housing society called Gold City. He escaped police custody during a shootout while he was being shifted from Karachi to Badin, which led to another case being filed against him.[10]
Controversies
[edit]In 2017, it was reported that a National Accountability Bureau inquiry against Tessori into a Rs172.3 million default case was still pending in court.[11]
In 2017, a member of MQM-P Faisal Subzwari said that the party (MQM-P) was not for sale, implying that Tessori who is a wealthy businessman involved in gold & commercial real estate businesses, tried using his money to influence party decisions in order to receive a ticket in the Senate.[12]
In 2018, Hanif Merchant, a gold trader based in Dubai, approached the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to request action against Tessori regarding his purported involvement in a gold fraud case.[13]
