The Dawn has reported at least thirty two foreign firms in Pakistan are planning to wind up their business in Pakistan and as many as 122 others are thinking to limit their investment in the country because of the prevailing law and order situation. The foreign companies operating in Pakistan are not satisfied with the steps taken by government to improve law and order situation in the country. This does not augur well as the country is already passing through the worst economic crisis. If foreign companies wind up their business in such large numbers it would not only result in transfer of precious foreign reserve but also create a negative outlook for the country.
The law and order situation has deteriorated rapidly. Suicide bomb attacks are becoming frequent which has created an atmosphere of insecurity. If the government is really serious in bringing about any change in the situation it must draw a policy after debating everything in the parliament. Presently we see that there is no direction in the policies of the government. They only content themselves by saying that they inherited everything from the previous government. Even if we accept this as true, this does not absolve their responsibility. More than seven months have passed and we are yet to see any direction. I hope that instead of undertaking foreign tours after every few days, President and Prime Minister would spend their time in the country and sort out issues in the larger interest of the people.
