What's new

Are we Karachiites have gone too lazy or just given up on Karachi?

No, i think the PPP governance has chocked Karachi, and well not just Karachi but whole Sindh. Now who elects PPP is where the original problem lies. How to correct it? Only when the villagers get educated, and waderas are taken care of Sindh as a whole province will continue to choke and in turn choke Pakistan.

As far as the people, well people of Karachi have showed PPP the finger, but does it matter? Partly. But PPP gets the power from else where.
Sir...by the time villagers got educated, Karachi will be DEAD.

As far as Waderas...They only fear ARMY. But I want them to fear PEOPLE as well....Why do we have to rely establishment to sort this out? I mean have people forgotten to come to streets? Don't we have rights and power?

Why don't we make these waderas taste their DEMOCRACY as they continue to harp it about 24/7.....

Democracy means Governments be accountable to people....

Yes...PPP have ruined Larkana but Sindhis seems fine...No voice comes against PPP from Sindhis. So, why Karachiites should suffer ?

Everyone used to blame Karachiites for electing MQM as like - you guys elect MQM, a criminal party so why crying?

Now that Karachiites have voted PTI and removed MQM....We are still being deprived of our rights and treated like shit?
I’d like to address the issues you’ve raised here and give some suggestions as what needs to be done to help fix Karachi, and then what’s needed to help make it a world class city.

We have too little devolved power in this country, Southern Punjab has these exact same qualms when it comes to a northern Punjab/ Lahore dominated focus of provincial government. The solution is to create new provinces, new provincial assemblies.

For large cities like Lahore and Karachi, I would suggest a demand for devolution and local assemblies. Karachi’s assembly would be formed of elected assembly members and an elected elected Mayor, this would be a sort of presidential system. They would be in charge of things like a transport authority for all transport in Karachi, road networks, metro-style buses, trains etc, they would be in charge of policing, waste disposal (also desperately needed), and strategic development and planning. There are already boards and authorities at Sindh or Karachi level that would be taken under the control of a such an assembly.

Better devolution also means splitting Karachi into many smaller administrative units. Each with its own local council. They’d be in charge of further devolved planning, housing, education and libraries, and collection of local taxes. The latter would be the main vehicle for funding projects and all local authorities.

Karachi with the permission of government could also set up its own borrowing facility or local development bank, something along the lines of German states (Länder), or municipalities. Berlin alone has some EUR 60bn worth of outstanding debt. It basically borrowed that money to invest in the city, with the idea being that the economic and financial benefit to the city being greater than cost of the debt. Karachi if it became a well managed city with trustworthy local government and the backing of the Pakistani state, could also secure some funds for large projects if cash is lacking.

There’s a lot that can be done and needs to be done, but for all of these things you need to organise yourselves and demand specific changes. You also need leaders with some vision, which is severely lacking in Pakistan.
 
.
Doing nothing is also NOT a option...

So, may be we should continue living with humiliation?
So here is the issue. If you are not political, you will not be heard.
If you try to be political you, either have to join existing parties hence turning yourself into another problem for society, or you will get killed, simple.
I think, Zia ul Haq, who had problem with Jamat e Islami due is their interference in Afghan Jahad, is now dead. We can easily proceed with Jamat e Islami idea, and you can trust me on that. This will solve many folds of problems, not only for Sindh, but for forces and agencies as well.
 
.
Only similarity between Karachi and Lahore is that both cities have large population. Why are you comparing them? Karachis problem is with rest of Sindh not Lahore.
I was not comparing.

Brother I agree with you but for that you need people to vote for Jamat e Islami which I dont see is possible. Anyway, in this scenario a better and more feasible solution would be making Karachi a federal city like Islamabad if we dont want to hurt the sentiments of Sindhis.
Govts doesn't formed with votes. :p:
 
.
All it would take are violent protests to change the situation. It can be because of anything. Like someone dying due to falling in a nalla or something. I don't know but violent protests seems to be the only answer to the oppression of pee pee pee government

I don't see any other way out
 
.
Not a SINGLE project has been completed in this MEGA CITY of Pakistan which FEEDS the POOR of WHOLE Pakistan......You name it, Punjabis, Baloch, Pashtuns...You can name every ethnicity...All come here and work. Everyone gets benefits from it. Yet NO government has ever did anything suitable in favor of Karachiites...
You can't blame others for your own faults its not the baloch, pashtuns or punjabis that vote for ppp its you guys.
 
.
Did Prime Minister of Punjab, Imran Khan talk about progress/development of Karachi after coming to power? Nope.

We Karachiites voted for PTI in both 2013 and 2018 despite all odds. We got 0 development.

The city of Karachi has dozens of mafia, the powerful people (politicians/bureaucrats/businessmen etc) in Pakistan are associated with it. If Karachi goes on merit and fixes itself these mafia would not generate illegal money.

Name of these mafias:

1. Food mafia (hoarders, price manipulators)
2. Transport mafia (minibuses from 60's)
3. Water mafia (waterboard, tankers etc.)
4. Power mafia (IPPs, K-electric)
5. Land Mafia (land grabbers, involvement of an organized institution)

What I highlighted is just tip of an iceberg. These mafias would never want their revenue streams hurt.

If you have watched Gotham, a weird tv series, but it highlights these mafias pretty well and how they operate.
 
.
So, Karachiites/Pakistanis...What is the Solution?

@Crystal-Clear @newb3e @AZ1 @I S I

@MastanKhan @Blacklight ...Sir, your comment on Karachi's miseries will be highly appreciated...What do you think Karachi has got as an option? What do you suggest?

Thanks for raising points, bro but I think It's too ideal for Pakistani scenario..

People here are too backward for these steps....

Either army interference or people interference will save Karachi.

So here is the issue. If you are not political, you will not be heard.
If you try to be political you, either have to join existing parties hence turning yourself into another problem for society, or you will get killed, simple.

Jamaat-e-Islami is also not coming out on streets...No one speaks for Karachi. People have to stand UP now.

All it would take are violent protests to change the situation. It can be because of anything. Like someone dying due to falling in a nalla or something. I don't know but violent protests seems to be the only answer to the oppression of pee pee pee government

I don't see any other way out

Bro...You just read my mind, literally.

THIS is the only solution....

NO WAY OUT apart from this.

Karachiites needs to toughen up. This is Pakistan and here you will have to struggle for your rights, even with your lives....

Karachi will do find her guts if there is an iota of blood of our ancestors running in our veins. I just cant stand this humiliation...I feel like I am dead but alive...Karachi is SINKING.

You can't blame others for your own faults its not the baloch, pashtuns or punjabis that vote for ppp its you guys.

No dear...Karachiites didn't vote for PPP.....we voted for PTI.

Karachiites will have to come to streets after this virus thing....No other solution than this.

No help will come from SKY if people are not yet ready to move their hands and legs

khi is done!!

Bro, Army is big institution and can be given benefit of doubt...Yeah I know some GENERALS may be involved in that mess but if soldiers and army come to know about them...they will be forced to abandon.

Thanks for tagging.
The issue of Karachi is 50% political and 50% strategic.
Karachi is the brain of Pakistan, it was a wonderful combination of all ethnicities.
Lahore was and is the heart of Pakistan. This brain and heart of Pakistan were working perfectly in harmony till, Pakistan saw a dictator, who Quid disliked.
Karachi was originally made a hub of business by four big groups:

Kathiawari or Gujrati guys(included memons, Bohris, Godhgris etc)
Sindhi industrialists like Hashwani
Delhi Punjabi sodagran
Sialkoti Groups

But this dictator, who was originally had no urban sense, sparked first agitation in Karachi, when people of Karachi tried to support Mohterma Fatima Jinnah(later on murdered by the same dictator).
Now, to break this beautiful Rhythm of heart and brain, enemy, specially India, sowed the Baureferats in Pakistani bureaucracy, who were originally from rural areas, had only degrees, but no sense of urban population and industrialization. These bureaucrats targeted both Lahore and Karachi, but Lahore proven to be lucky, as Lahoris fought vigorously for the rights of this city and the city dwelleres. And last fight on this front was against two brothers, who thought they are kings, but Lahoris showed these two Dons their right place.
Karachi on the other hand, had a disadvantage of multi ethnicity. Karachis last stand was MQM, where it stood against Landlords of Sindh, but again, MQM later on became an autoimmune disease for Karachi, and hence contributed in the destruction of Karachi.

With passage of time, both Karachi and Lahore, who were working very harmoniously in the initial days of Pakistan(hence a strong Pakistan, even Korea adopted our economic system), but as scarcity of resources increased, these both cities became rivals.

The best solution for this city, and Pakistan , is, that we know from historical perspective that this city performs best under Jamat e Islami. Hence Naimatullahs overhaul of this city.
So, to get this city, and hence the brain of Pakistan out of the clutches of enemy, Karachi, along Mirpurkhas , Hyderabad, Sanghar, Sakkar and Badin, should be given to Jamat e Islami, totally, with a CM from Jamat e Islami. I am not asking for a Separate state here, just change of regime. This will break the bone of PPP, Indian RAW sponsored terrorism, Landlords, and above all, bhatta khori, in one stroke.
Baqi Pakistan k serparast behter jantay hain.
But Insaf hi wahid rasta hai.

A religious organisation?? Hmmm. I wonder what Military establishment view about it. It could have international implications too

Sir, every now and then there is protest regarding food, law situation, power/gas in Karachi.

The problem is the people in power.

Federal government has shown no WILL to resolve issues of Karachi.

Even PTI MNA from Karachi resigned because of it

There was truck-ki-batti while ago about making Karachi a federal territory then nothing was discussed afterwards, law minister changed I guess?

When there is a will there is a way.

right now, There is No Will

I urge people in power to stop benefitting a limited region of Pakistan and treat all citizens equally.

lols soldier know about their corruption infact soldiers work as guard and enforcer for corrupt genrail kabhi 2 number fauji motorway ka chakkar toh lagao dekho kis turhan fauji aur soldiers loot rahay hain qoum ko!!

and Pakistan is alk about punjab bas politics aur development sirf pu jab keg lite hai!!

i dont understand ya unity hai kyon;
 
.
I don' think Sindhi living in Karachi would care.
Pathans?? Hmmm I don't think so.
Punjabis?? I think they would stand for Karachi. But they are vwey less
Seraikis?? Nope. Most of them are new immigirants
Balochis?? Obviously not especially not Liyari waley
The problem is Karachi ke masley ko Urdu Speaking/Muhajir ka masla banadete hain log. I don't think other people other than Urdu Speaking actually care for the Karachi.

I don't see any peaceful solution to this. Only by large scale violence we might be able to change the situation

There is no other way

i have lived during nawaz era of late 1990s and even when there was no PPP, the situation under nawaz was also not very different (garbage piles were seen every where) so please stop making excuses.

what has PTI done which karachiites so eagerly choose.
