Re: Pashtuns are plotting to take over Karachi, Kamal tells NPR
One needs to realize that people of Karachi are far more tolerant and freindly for Pushtoons despite presence of MQM goons and history of violence here. Pushtoons are doing jobs and business in this city with greater comfort than anyother place in Pakistan.
80% of Karachi's tranport is controlled by them (You can not think of it in other major cities of the country like Lahore and Islamabad). Fruits and vegetables whole sale market is fully controlled by them. At least 30-40% of the resturants are owned by them. Most tandoor and tea stalls are owned by them.
You wont find a non-pushtoon shop in Karachi's areas like Frontier Colony, Bacha Khan Chowk, Patel Para, Dawood Chowrangi, etc. But you can find pushtoons doing all sorts of jobs in other parts of the city - even in the stronghold of MQM - Azizabad - here you can see tandoor, tea stall and fruit sellers etc beside pushtoon rickshaw drivers.
