Concerns about security situation in Pakistan exaggerated: Gilani
[Dawn] Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
 on Friday urged the British investors to focus on Pakistain and not to be overly concerned about the "exaggerated perception" about security situation in Pakistain.
But there is plenty of reason to be concerned about the unexaggerated perception, which is just about as bad.
Addressing at a businessmen reception, Prime Minister Gilani said he was cognizant of the concerns about security situation in the region and said the perception was contrary to the situation on ground.

"Despite the negative security perceptions of Pakistain in the media, the trade and investment environment has remained positive," he said.

Gilani said those who have done business in Pakistain continue to return due to the opportunities offered by the market.

He said the British companies are conducting substantive profitable business and giving attractive dividends to their share holders and the companies create employment and develop our economy.
