I grow up when there was operation against MQM gangs in Karachi by Benazir government. I remember many from Karachi moved to our area and they were welcomed. They told stories about kidnapping , bhatta , black mailing many of them sold houses to lower price and moved to Islamabad Lahore area. Same stories as we hear today but that time media wasn't same. I had many class fellows from Karachi and they told me same thing. Now i live in Norway and have few urdu speaking so called Muahjir friends and they tell same stories. Stories are same how MQM gangs operate and also how Phatans are involved in crimes as drugs weapons etc. Some of urdu speaking told me they picked guns when phastons started to make gangs etc.

But what my point is there are ppl from all over Pakistan who move to Punjab but no one complain in Punjab. Most ppl from Karachi are educated and respected. Phatan are involved in smuggling and few other crimes but many other work hard and live honset life. I meet many from Gilgit in my school they were very good in football. U will almost never hear any punjbai complaining about they are coming and taking our jobs like Phatans has taken over most shops spesialy clothes and transport biz only complain i have against them that they smuggle alot of stuff from India China etc.
 
Punjab is for anyone who wants to live there, with no if and buts. Its a true melting pot.

there maybe more punjabis living in Karachi then even lahore, so i dunno why crying about how punjabis are so welcoming rest arn't

i can also say that there are more punjabis living in interior sindh then sindhis living in punjab, please go find facts

Talk with facts than just saying MAYBE !!!! I am not saying punjabi are more welcoming ppl or better ppl. I am saying that ppl move here from other part of country never gets problem as we se in Karachi.

yeah right, in sindh LEAs stops punjabis and ask are you from punjab? staring with stange attitude as if he is from mars, like the treatment karachiites get in lahore

karachi is a multicultural cosmopolitan city, nobody even knows who is punjabi who is not, people are more tolerant in karachi then any other place in pakistan esp punjab so please spare me this BS that punjabis get different treatment in karachi based on their ethnicity

karachi has more ethnic people living than entire pakistan, nobody even knows let alone cares which ethnicity is living in karachi

punjabis are also the only people in pak who dwell in every province of pakistan with sheer number, the ex CJ iftekhar chaudry is a punjabi residing in quetta, the hinkowans in KPK, the mirpuris of kashmir, moin khan, zaheer abbas karachi based punjabi cricketers, junaid jamshed, rohail hayat, asad umar, the police men, the rangers

and punjabis still complaining about how less welcoming the other provinces are as compared to punjab

u r asking an MQM supporter to talk on facts ,,, u must live in some other world
 
Most of the law enforcement in Punjab are from Punjab whereas in karachi mostly are from Punjab or interior sindh , very little locals karachietes are in the police department or from rangers .. there is very little presence of local karachietes in the police department
 
punjabis are running the show in karachi through rangers and police still complaining that other parts of pakistan is comparatively less welcoming
 
There it comes lol

Its ok if USA kills ppl with drones but if police officer from another part of country working in karachi its a crime.

i have lived 3-4 years in karachi - there are many differences in Karachi and Lahore

1- In Karachi - no one say he/she is from lahore, rawalpindi, multan etc they are all labeled as punjabi whereas in Punjab people take city name like he/she is from Hyderabad, karachi etc ...

2- Punjabi people are more welcoming as most of the mohajir families got there son/daughters married to punjabi and in karachi they are being not integrated in the society

someone says above 70% of GDP is contributed by Karachi ... lol what about 70-80% of Pakistan food is being produced in Punjab ?
KPK says they produce electricity but failed to understand that Punjab provides the Food to all other provinces ...

try to be Pakistani and not sindi, punjabi, etc

my dad's friend n family was punjab and we didn't even know until they talked about how they wanna label themselves as mohajir than punjabi

we have got all sorts of mohajir people from different cultural backgrounds and we infact cherish the diversity not suppress it

in few years punjabis may out number mohajir people in karachi
 
No matter what MQM supporters says - Whenever MQM say karachietes, what they mean is "Urdu speaking community only", It was ethnic party, it is ethic party and it will remain ethnic party.- few non-urdu speaker in party for decoration will not change this fact. These losers (who are not able to compete) cry that people from other parts get jobs (not talking about govt. job) in Karachi, They shamelessly cry that people of other parts comes and lives in Karachi and forgets that their forefather also came from other country.
 
I belong to Karachi, was born and raised in Karachi. After 14 years of age I spent more than 15 years in Punjab and KP 2/3 and 1/3 respectively. I partially agree with

1- In Karachi - no one say he/she is from lahore, rawalpindi, multan etc they are all labeled as punjabi whereas in Punjab people take city name like he/she is from Hyderabad, karachi etc ...
Urdu speaking people in Karachi isolated themselves from others. The time which I have spent in other provinces forces me to say that I do not agree to this as well.

2- Punjabi people are more welcoming as most of the mohajir families got there son/daughters married to punjabi and in karachi they are being not integrated in the society

Integration of Mohajirs in Karachi cannot be attributed to non-social integration alone. They constituted major part of population and had lesser opportunities of inter-regional marriages, especially when it was a more conservative society then.

I have found bias in Punjab and KP also, which is but natural. Yes I will agree that people from both the provinces are welcoming and very loving, so are Karachites . On the other hand people from rural Sindh are very possessive, but this does not mean that they are not welcoming. However, some individuals with vested interest have divided this nation.

I will give @Leviza 100000% for

try to be Pakistani and not sindi, punjabi, etc

We must learn to be Pakistanis. This is the only path to our salvation as a nation. We should stop doing politics in the name of provinces/sect/religion and work as Pakistanis and reject those who are trying to instigate such prejudice.
 
we beharis intermarry with beharis only not even with UPs well atleast in my behari family have not see one UP waalas and gujratis, hyderabadis etc, now punjabis will come and say hey you are racists etc because even many mohajir families look after their own kind? and are reserved?
 
there maybe more punjabis living in Karachi then even lahore

:woot:

Don't pull things out of your rear side..

Most of the law enforcement in Punjab are from Punjab whereas in karachi mostly are from Punjab or interior sindh , very little locals karachietes are in the police department or from rangers .. there is very little presence of local karachietes in the police department

Same is the situation in Lahore, very little local lahoris go in police department. But the thing is, we never cared about such things like you guys..
