What's new

All Karachiites! See what Mufti Tariq Masood just said on Karachi

.
I can curse PMLN a thousand time but you cant blame them for state of Karachi. Untill recently MQM didnt even allow outsiders to settle let alone let them work on Karachi problems. Billions was spent on Karachi during MQM tenure but they ate and $hit in Karachi nothing else. PPP also had a chance but they are now destroying Karachi for sake of politics. PTI never had Mayorship or even sindh govt so how can you expect them to interfere after 18th amendment. When Federal govt requested FWO to clean up all the drains in Karachi they did it by violating the law as they needed permission of sindh govt which they didnt. Right now after 18th Amendment PPP has the absolute authority over sindh so no one should curse others for present situation but PPP.

Now to solution only solutions are to turn Karachi into federal territory or turn it into another province with its own resources. There is no third option here as long as PPP is in control of sindh and i dont see their control loosening up all thanks to Sindhis.
 
.
Karachiites are going through baptism of fire since long and with them the whole country. I hope they find the light at the end of this long dark tunnel soon and come out stronger.

A whole province should not be made to suffer for the sake of a single city. Having said that I believe that sindh, both urban and rural is making a phuddu out of this nation. They always need special attention special funds special airtime like during the rains in Karachi every media outlet was running stories about the streets of of Karachi while conveniently ignoring the thr black out faced by many cities across pakistan for days as if rain water doesn't drown other parts of pakistan and now a special syllabus for competing with the rest of the country and if declined they resort to their mashriki and maghribi Pakistan blackmail despite, every fancy coaching center in Karachi not only the interior but the urban sindh is Lagging behind and hundreds of Civil services seats are still vacant. Moreover after taking into consideration their per capita dev fund and the piss poor state of affairs I fear after a span of ten years yeh apni avaam ko wheel chair p bitha k maangna shoro kr dy gy, give more funds for saving ancient liberalism else mashriki Pakistani could be around the corner

Do tht and PPP and regional parties will give it an ethnic color.
The best option is to leave Karachi as part of Sindh,

BUT,

Amend the constitution to get rid of 18th amendment which is a black amendment. Give more power to ilaqa nazims and transfer the funds directly to them. People know ilaqa nazims and can vote them based on their progress and developments he does. People can hold him accountable easily.

Capital should be moved to Hyderabad or Sukker so that those cities will also have some development and activity.

better to make more provinces, and each have Union council in power... than to kill 18th amendment... so if Karachi is a province, by 18th amendment, it can take and use funds directly..

declaring divisions into provinces with their districts being run by empowered local bodies govts vis a vis punjab sounds pretty awesome as people there don't indulge in toxic ethnicism and could care less about the demographic change of their province if it solves issues at their door steps but the union of all Pakistan glorified clerks aka the Pakistan administration service won't let it happen and then there are local nationalist groups as well . Clerks are easy to be removed and stripped off their ridiculous power they enjoy over vast swaths of land but the local nationalists will be hard to tame. So in the case of other three provinces practical thing would be to abolish the office of the divisional and district commissioners and giving admin powers directly to district and town mayors as an elehda sooba would be detrimental to the national security hence out of question
 
. .
Only hope is if supreme court decides on PTI rit on distict award(which will give karachi resources) coupled with that the MAYOR OF KARACHI has to impose taxes within his jurisdiction to get revenues to fix things
 
.
Army doesnt care..

Army shouldn't care at all neither its their job to clean gutters as they have on many occasions showed what wonders the local bodies system is capable of doing but it's the same old polical dynasties who are not willing to give people their constitutional right of self governance and instead completely rely upon their pet poodle babus to control crores of people from the center. They better give respect and power to our elected mayors otherwise there's no guarantee that one day people won't be locking down the commissioners offices

Pakistan will never be able to payback the $90 billion debt unless Karachi is developed.

But somehow the PTI leaders and bureaucracy are incapable of thinking this through. Maybe its due to discrmination/hatred or treason mindset.

The city of Quaid has been in ruins for decades and has become a cocnrete jungle with no planning.

Tell the leadership in Islamabad to spend a week here, they will die of suffocation, if not, then diarrhea would kill them.


I politely remind the promises that PTI made to people of Karachi. Fulfill them by making Karachi a federal city through Article 149. Thats all we ask.

Karachi deserves basic rights.

Karachi voted for PPPP 7 MQM for last 40 years(and 30% consitutencies still did) but expect PTi to solve the problme overnight or they threaten to vote for PPPP again

pragmatic thinking i will say
 
.
solution is to empower the mayor and increase local taxation
