Re: Karachi turning into a ghetto?
^^ i am not saying that karachi doesn't deserve any funding from other provinces or at the national level; after all, a city that pumps 65% of the national GDP should get the lion's share.. although gwadar port might now get it (after so many years of labor some newbie gets the fruit eh). i'm only trying to emphasize the importance of "self-produced funds" that karachi needs; without it karachi will be largely incomplete no matter how much the outer funding is, assuming that we get our "deserved" share at the national level.
these are self produced funds, its value add work that karachi does..
why do cities, and countries set up lare international ports and all, why do companies set up oil refineries, at each step of the process there is value add, and karachi is a huge part of the value add wen it comes to Pakistan.
Now if we forego that, the headquarters of companies, being a financial hub for the country etc means it has a big part in the country's GDP.
lets figure it out and give it to karachi., if baluch ppl can ask for their share of proceeds from gas, then karachi folks can ask for their fair share of all the value add and all the revenue generation that takes place in teh city.
