Shaukat Aziz, the PM, is projecting Pakistan at all forums as a haven for foreign investment. Can we know what a poor man gets when a foreigners comes in and invests and takes the profit, and goes away without any loss? Once they get into the country, they get their investment liquidated through the local banks and financial institutions.
They have nothing to lose. It looks as if the same "country" which was begging for help, in the past, of the World Bank and IMF, is now asking for investments and asking help from the business individuals and institutions around the world.
The government should try and clear the atmosphere for the local businesses and not go begging to the world.
Just create a healthy justice system for with opportunities for all, and preference to Pakistanis.
