Karachi was a beautiful city. I am quiet ancient, and in 83-84 during 1st year at NED we friends walked all the way from burns rd Sabri nihari to north nazimabad at 2 am and no fear, imagine that. 85, bushra zaidi case, buses and mini buses were burned as most belonged to pukhtuns, that was the reaction of years of humiliation in these wagons by semi literate conductors....reaction was wrong, but reaction is always like that if left simmering.Only thing I am afraid is that Karachi is a strange city a city like Arabian Sea which even if appear peaceful always have its current beneath the surface, violence is in the nature of City .... people are here getting frustrated and by people I mean all the communities be its local Sindhis or Baloch, second or third generation Pukhtoons and Punjabis even they can't get any government job if they apply with Karachi Domicile.
No one can predict when and which incident would act as a spark to ignite fire. IF PPP will come in power one more time in Sindh I can say with almost certainty that Karachi would go in violent anarchy.
I agree, reaction is simmering again.
Karachi was a beautiful city, everyone from Pakistan lives there. I had Sindhi, punjabi and Pashtun friends, never felt anything.
That city will never return. If Army wants, they can bring this socio-economic change as well as they cleansed it from Altaf criminality, but they had to stop being blackmailed by PPP.
