Why are these IDP settling in Karachi and not Peshawar or Punjab? I do understand that some of them do have relations in Karachi and many single men from NWFP work in Karahci with families left behind. But why escape one fire to walk into another?
Some of these families have seen enough horror, why hang more on them?
Why does the MQM allow ghettos to build up when they dont work in anyones favour? Surely by spreading people out they would have encouraged more integration/assimilation rather than leaving them in one place and duplicating themselves? The clever policy would be spreading them out so eventually they leave behind their Pashtun cultural habits and eplace them with things more suited to the MQ/M? If they started doing this then they would have integrated/assimilated.
At this rate the entire NWFP could be made IDP so will they all go Karachi?
Will Pakistan eventually become a land where we have limited immigration from onr province to another. The Baloch dont want to be outnumbered, the Muhajirs dont want to be outnumbered. They want restrictions on people coming in but that wont help a boom. Pakistan should be a free country where people should live wherever they want. However, the south of Pakistan has issues with this, whilst in the north people are far more tolerant. Theres large number of Pashtuns in Pindi but why is there no problem there?
The ethnic card has been used too many times by too many people,parties and organisations. Ironic both the ANP and MQM, both whose supporters are all migrants to Karachi are using the ethnic card.
