Beg to differ! People should state truth. NFC award is one of many things. there are far reaching results of a properly done survey, to understand many things that Govts over the years plan for etc. People who speak urdu must write urdu and if it means they will come out to be a sizeable number which may make sense to drop Karachi from Sindh in to its province, than so be it, people who speak Punjabi must write such so, etc. Census is not just to count population of provinces but to collect correct statistics. The PPP MNA is trying to make a serious topic rather simple but he wont go too far with it. Also I think he is worried about National Assemble / Provincial Assembly seats. A correct population of karachi / Hyderabad will surely increase representation of Karachi/Hyderabad in assemblies and most probably will win by MQM/Spin off of MQM urdu speaking parties. There is nothing wrong with giving correct representation to a group of people. Yes It may make PPP’s strangehold on Sindh even less but so be it .

When muhajir and other communities live in Punjab, they can call themselves as Punjabi why not in Sindh?
