You are seriously comparing Lahoris/Punjabis with Karachiites/Urdu speaking???? Not even a comparision. Punjabis enjoy the most powerful status in this country - be it bureaucracy or army - you guys have it all power and institutions.
You and the other member asked what
Lahoris would feel like if it ever happened to them. I showed you that it has happened to them throughout history.
You asked for that comparison. I did not present it to belittle Karachi's plight. You don't get to object when you get exactly what you asked for. Once you've pulled yourself out of this hysteria, you'll see things more clearly.
You Punjabis/Lahoris didn't have to face QUOTA system - if you had face it, you would have come to known about what Karachiites feel.
I deliberately wanted to stay away from this pit of false claims stacked up against legitimate concerns. Because when I disassemble those claims people will start accusing me of bias. However, since I have actual numbers and you dragged me into it, might as well.
92.5% of all candidates in Pakistan are selected on quota. Lahoris face it too. Your actual problem is the unequal division of Sindh's quota between the Rural and Urban areas; while Sindh's urban population is around 50% of its total (Baring all the discrepancies in the population estimates aside. I don't intend to get into that), it only receives 40% of the quota allocated to Sindh. In effect, it is about the 10% quota share that should go to Urban Sindh but instead goes to Rural Sindh, i.e. 8 seats in total. On top of Urban Sindh's share, Karachi also has the 7.5% of the total seats (18 seats in total) available to it on merit, as well. The ironic bit is that a lot of these seats that are allocated as quota for specific regions/populations do not get filled for multiple years due to a lack of candidates passing the exam criteria. For example, for the year 2018 there were
18 vacancies for the year under Urban Sindh's quota and another
40 left over vacancies carried over from the previous exams.
So no, Karachiites do not have only 2-3 seats to compete for, as has been foolishly claimed multiple times in this thread in hopes to exaggerate the issue needlessly. Many of the ones that are available to Karachi, due to the lack of qualifying candidates, go vacant anyway.
None of this is to disqualify the absolute right of Urban Sindh to have its due share of representation in the quota. However, it is also not a big enough excuse to burn down the city and/or allow one's inner ethno-nationalistic charades to surface.
You'll find all the above facts below,

**** everything - YOU guys are the majority in country while Urdu speakers are barely 8-10% of total population.
We are in minority so we obviously feel more insecure compared to you guys. It's natural...You and other 'son of soils' should have shown bigger heart rather than competing with us....We came into new land - seeking acceptance and love. We were/are more sensitive...
Please, don't take offence to what I am about to say. It's only to drive home a point.
No one really needs to tell me what it is like being a minority. I belong to an ethnicity which is listed without its name under the "others" column. What I am trying to preach is what we have followed since independence. You are more sensitive not because you're a minority but because you choose to be. Had people come to serve instead of being served, they might have left their unfounded sense of entitlement behind. Urdu speakers, nor any other ethnicity or group of people in Pakistan is entitled to anything. We have done nothing for the country except for looting it, creating trouble, inciting hatred and acting entitled, despite the self-aggrandising claims to the contrary.
*All of the above is not in any way an attempt to imply that the concerns of Karachi are not legitimate. Only that the way its people choose to convey them through the lens of ethno-nationalism is unacceptable.
Punajbis can afford to have their some cities dusted for a while but Karachiites, who are already oppressed in every fukin possible way, can't....Karachi is our ONLY home....Punjabis can afford to go to Gujranwala if Lahore is treated unfairly while Karachiites don't have that luxury
Yeah, of course. You demand that Punjabis understand and help you with your plight while you openly recommend a dusting of their cities. Only Karachi's concerns are legitimate. Every one else "can afford it". Btw, nothing is stopping any Urdu Speaker from moving to Gujranwala either. Many more "Muhajirs" have made Punjab their home than Karachi.
Yaha pora karachi bana dia jo 60% revenue generate kar raha wo sab bhol jao aur yeh dekho tweet lol.
lol Why is Karachi generating 60% revenue cause whole country is supplying goods and buying goods from Karachi. Karachi is generating 60% revenue cause of Pakistan not the other way around. Karachi is not on moon Karachi is in Pakistan. This is something you all need to understand as well.
Karachi is not
generating anywhere close to 60% revenue. That is absolutely false. I've already explained it. That number also keeps increasing out of thin air.
