Deceased businessman/senator Taj Afridi led the Al-Haj Group, Pakistan’s largest trucking contractor, responsible for transporting fuel and cargo to NATO forces in Afghanistan. In 2008, his brother, Shaukat Afridi, was abducted for ransom by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militants in Karachi and later killed.
What a tragedy! He was the highest tax-paying senator during his tenure. According to a report published in Dawn, Taj Muhammad Afridi from the tribal areas paid the highest income tax, amounting to Rs 41.712 million in the 2015 tax year
