Violence in Karachi [all threads merged]

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

POINT ONE: They are not so many concentrated in a single area. Karachi alone has almost DOUBLE the population of Pashtuns as the whole province of Punjab.

With close to 7 million Pashtuns by some estimates,[SUP][28][/SUP] the city of Karachi in Sindh hosts one of the largest Pashtun populations in the world.

The following delineates the Pashtun population in the provinces of Pakistan:

POINT TWO: Karachi gets severely low level of resources than what it requires for its huge population. This is in contrast to other cities in Punjab and elsewhere. Karachi’s resources are controlled by people in places like Larkana. These people consider Karachi a golden goose to fill their own pockets, and they never care about or own the problems of the city.
According to official estimates Karachi is shown to have at least 1/2 its actual population. This means half the amount of resources it actually needs.

This lack of resources create friction among different people in the city. And since it has people from all over the country, so it becomes ethnic issue very quickly.

If Karachi becomes a province (it’s not gonna happen) and able to spend larger amount of its money on its people then there would be less friction and less animosity among people no matter what nationality they are.

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

There may be large numbers but not more as many living in a single area. As I said above in the post right above this one.

One very important point - if this was a Taliban issue then why are Urdu speakers only targeted as Jews? There are just as many Shia, Barelvi and other sects which are not approved by the Taliban in ** **Punajbis and Sindhis so why are they not attacked?
[/quote]

Urdu speakers overwhelmingly support MQM, and MQM is the worst enemy of Taliban extremists.
And you would be naive to think that shias and barelvis are not targeted by them.

Give me any reason why MQM would want to destabilize the very city they represent. It is stupid to think that MQM would have the policy to kill anyone, Pashtuns or others, and create chaos in the city.
It serves NO purpose of MQM.

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

y would they show on cnn or bbc?? they have no concern or value of a Pakistani citizen! they dont even give a damn ... haan if one of their own ppl would hav even get injured slightly they would put it on headlines!! biggest hypocrites on the face of earth!

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

Just twisting the words
If he is right than Karachi is a Pashton majority city,
And they have more rights then any other.
And know it that they even have no NA seat from Karachi.
Just an ethnic hating.
I am very sad over this all discussion.
How fool and how cruel we are.

Well “he” is not making it up. “He” actually quoted a reference (wiki).
About their seats in Karachi, ANP did win two seat from Karachi.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awami_National_Party
In the election of 2008, the ANP won two Sindh assembly seats in Karachi.

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

I knew that, so i wrote NA seat, You are very wise but I suggest you one thing. Think of humanity and think of God. I am also a man full of sins , have no right to advise you but I suggested only.
The human being are suffering due to the dirty causes of money grabbing and power grabbing people.

re: Violence in Karachi [all threads merged]

Why does this happen every 3 months or so, like clockwork?
Then there is a break because of some other big bad incident?
And in between the big incidents this starts all over again for 15-20 days or so.
There is so much chaos, who is in-charge?
Isn't this the best environment for any enemy to destroy the country?

re: Violence in Karachi [all threads merged]

they doing it already!

re: Violence in Karachi [all threads merged]

You gotta understand the politics of Asif Ali Zardari, he is Feudal, he thinks like that, we acts like that, killing in Karachi would be the head-lines in the days when few important decisions against the govt. from Judiciary are coming up, The Govt. is trying to create a mayhem so that no body sees what they are doing, once things are done/ targets achieved, everything will go back to normal...

The most important thing for the govt of PPP is to save Monis Illahi ( another Azab-e-Ellahi) adn his looted wealth... for that they tried to transfer the FIA officer and his team but Judiciary re-instated them, now they are using the delaying tactics, because the Father of Azab-e-Ellahi ( the suspect killer of Benazir Bhutto and most favorite friend and Partner of Asif Ali Zardari) have threaten the govt by saying if Govt cannot save Azab-e-Illahi and his looted wealth, he'll leave the govt... and if that happens, the govt will loose the majority in the NA... hence they have killed over 100 people in Karachi and will continue to kill more...

Vote for PPP, and YOU will get

No Electricity
No Gas
No Water
No Employement
No Industry

But Lots of Taxes
High Inflation
and Worst of All

KILLING of Innocents just to hide their corruption

Vote for them again, so that you'll die as a martyr...

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

After the orders were issued, 37 more got killed in single day, earlier avg number of people killed in a day was 12... good going zardari, he just tripled it...

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

THere is no evidence whatsoever that ANP is involved in this leaflet. Now get any jihadi activity going on in Karachi and blame it on ANP or any pashtun crime on ANP. No one is going to buy it.

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

Taliban in this fight are the MQM goons and their supporters. They have rightly been described as southern Taliban.

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

This party hates everybody with equal intensity. Be it Pashtuns, Punjabis, Sindhis, Baloch and muhajirs that dont approve of them. The intensity of tehir violence against others depends upon who they beleive is a threat to their mafiaso activities. Tomorrow if it is Sindhis they will start killing them.

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

The last census of Pakistan was in 1998, and a lot has changed during 2001-2011, the current census is important and the results could be quite interesting.

Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

Another lie, no party has taken a harder stance against Taliban than ANP and second to it comes PPP. Both these parties have been targetted by TAliban, the very same parties against whom MQM is fighting. MQM is aiding Taliban by elimintaing workers of ANP and PPP like TAliban have done.

**The City District Government Karachi (CDGK) was allocated Rs54 billion in the 2010-11 budget.
The total amount spent was Rs53.9 billion with Rs84.4 million of the total left over.
The Karachi Water and Sewerage Board received the majority of the funds, with a total of Rs14.6 billion assigned to them in the budget. Of this, Rs7.8 billion was spent on development and Rs6.7 billion was for current expenditure that includes regular expenses such as utilities and salaries.

^^^

And this does not include the FDF (Federal Development Fund) which financed most of the fly overs in Karachi to make Mustafa Kamal look like a hero in Musharraf era. I am not against spending money on Karachi's infra structure... but just to keep the record straight..!!!

Let's get back to the original topic..!!!

re: Violence in Karachi [all threads merged]

Do you follow international politics? Kabul is much more secure nd peaceful than Karachi. It would be a blessing if ANP made Karachi like Kabul.
