Neglect is a Small Word .... PPP have deliberately Criminally ignored nayyyy RUINED the city .... an why would they think of Karachi .. they hardly get more thn 2-4 seats out of 50ish .... and YET they get to be the one Ruling the Province as well as all the funds !
PS: before u ask MQM is no saint .... First & foremost they forget thr most important agenda ... a Separate Province become greedy to try to win the whole province and in hope of two birds in the tree missed the one in the hand too !
I have never seen some one painting with a single brush of stereotype of a city of 20 million which is ACTUALLY a mini Pakistan and have more Pathans than any city anywhere in and out of Pakistan a significant population of every ethnicity ....
For your digestion ... please go through following numbers before u go ahead and say MORE than 50% are voting for MQM ...
http://tribune.com.pk/story/552368/pakistan-elections-2013-total-voter-turnout-55/
Pakistan with Population of 180 Million - 85-90 Million are eligible for Voting ... Out of Which The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced that overall voter turnout in the 2013 general elections was recorded at 55.02% (48 Million)
By this formulla Karachi with Population of 20 Million have 10 Million voters ..
The PML-N got the majority of votes (14.8 million) followed by the PTI (7.5 million), the PPP (6.8 million) and the MQM (2.4 million) (most of them in karachi but quite few in Other sindh Seats in winning or loosing cause).
MQM even got less votes than Independent candidatesm who picked up 5.8 million votes.
Hence out of 20 (conservative estimate) ... 2 million is not 50 but
10% of the population and
20% of the eligible voters ... Now u will ask why still MQM wins the majority or assumingly "Rules the city" .... so out of many more reasons it is the lack of a second option .... People will burn thr vote (or in reality sit at home) thn vote for Pee Pee Pee ..... PMLN & PTI have no karachi centric agenda (for them & rightly so winning Punjab give u whole country so why bother) .... same attitude is by PPP ... wind Sindh Rural & rule over Urban & rural both divisions .....
so Respected Sir, before u come over here & PAINT us ALL with one stroke of brush that WE do this .. WE do that .... please analyse that this is what we are left with a city who is & was welcome to all but neglected equally by others & its own .... ofcourse except when they have to reap the benfits, or do politics !!!!
Thank you for Dropping by and passing judgments ,... it really make our life easier & explain US to people ! Ofcourse we live in a socitey where VICTIM is blame for the act of the criminal ... RIGHT !
