In a letter to Dar, the SCBA chief outlined a number of suggestions that he said, if implemented, would greatly benefit overseas Pakistanis living in different countries.

He called for ensuring prompt facilitation for the overseas Pakistani community.

Atta said that during his recent tours to the United Kingdom, France and Belgium on the invitation of various international legal bodies, he came across many people of Pakistani origin who shared with him difficulties they faced at the hands of officials, either working at the Pakistani missions or deputed at airports, such as members of the Customs Department.
