    Subject: [CORP] Contact Form --Gallup.com [Incident #1853422]

    Gallup, the global polling and consulting company, based in the United States is in no way affiliated with Business Research Services (BRS), which calls itself Gallup Pakistan. BRS does not adhere to the rigorous standards employed by Gallup when conducting public opinion polls and we cannot support any claim to the validity of their findings. BRS is not authorized to use the GALLUP name and Gallup has taken legal action against them in Pakistan and the United States. In Pakistan the trial court rightfully found that Dr. Gilani’s use of our name was "fraudulent" and "dishonest." BRS was also cited for engaging in "tactics calculated to delay the administration of justice." Despite those findings, Dr. Gilani continues to violate our rights and use the GALLUP name.

    Thank you,
