Thats such a tired argument. I ask you guys to go to places Like Orangi, Qasba Shah Faisal, and then you will know what deprivation. Karachi doesn't get clean drinking water, no solid waste disposal, intermitent electricity, no PUBLIC TRANSPORT, and yet still thrives despite an officially sanctioned neglect.
Take the Seraikis, a supposed deprived group. The PM is a Seraiki, so is the President and the FM. So you have single ethnic group occupiying three of the most important positions in the land, yet DG Khan and Multan are considered "backword". Its not the poor who take advantage of the quota, its the feudal families like the Mazaris, Legharis, Querishis, Pirzadas and Gilanis.
Icon, you say the Punjabis are willing to ditch the quota system, but the reality is the Punjabis oppose its scrapping more then any other ethnic group.
If there are any Pashtun, Seraiki, Sindhi and Baluch posters, I would like to hear there views.
And i ask you to go to Shahdara, Baghban pura, androon lahore, there isn't anything like clean water or sanitation either.
IF seraikis are in powerful position why are you jealous? MQM has more than its due share in SIndh and federal cabinet.
