Criticism
In 2004, Mansha's group and his preferred candidate were defeated by a margin of two votes in the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA). Mansha subsequently resigned from APTMA.
According to his first interview to a foreign magazine, Mian Mansha stated that, "my net worth is about $4–5 billion." Indeed, there have been claims by many circles in Pakistan that the closely held group has a total capitalisation of nearly US$10 Billion (Rs. 800 billion). However, due to a mix of private and public companies in the group, it is not possible to accurately arrive at a definitive capitalization of sea ports.
D.G. Khan cement, which is part of Mansha's Nishat group, was once the target of violence by local people living near the factory. The issue was eventually resolved by discussions and increased security around the plant.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world—though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
