Karachi was made under sindh by dictator i think. Why cant someone launch petition on this in SC? And ruled out that decision?

You guys gonna stay a part of sindh no matter what. Federation cannot afford to antagonize a whole province to accommodate a city's touchy attitude. Be a part of the solution instead of messing everything up .

Its all about pressure. Zardari is there but till when? No one take bilalwal serious.
Its for Pakistan good future that karachi should be separated from sindh. If not then point will come whole pakistan wi suffer

Yup I expected the next step would be slow encroachment/stepping in of provincial responsibilities by the federal government in Karachi.

Personally these sort of political games aren’t to my liking, but if it helps Karachi, then good. Eventually, the only proper solution is devolution of power Karachi, a local assembly, an elected mayor, local tax collection, councils and local authorities. Karachi needs basic infrastructure, investment in everything from energy and grid, to waste management and water supply, and of course transport and metros. I don’t see it happening with the current set up and I’m doubtful whether this new political game will make any difference.

No, certainly not, for that you need proper legislative change. And that’s a long process. This action (whatever the extent of it is) will be limited in time and scope, and in my opinion it’s motivated by other squabbles between Sindh and federal, not just the plight of Karachiites.

Eventually Karachi will need better and more local representation. London where I am is a big city, we have our own mayor, our own assembly, our own taxes and our own projects and authorities.

PPP worked hard to get decentralised power in 2010 through constitutional amendments, that was a good step forward imo. However, IF their intentions are still true and they need to apply that logic forward, the same centralisation that they thought would benefit Sindh will also benefit Karachi when power is further devolved. Their opposition to such moves is then against their own ideology and is purely motivated by their own political objectives, not what’s good for Pakistan or good for Karachi.

@Jungibaaz for COAS. You may actually do something VS. these petty games that we've been witnessing (pre and post extension.)

When there is a will - there is a way.

You're describing Karachi and comparing it with whole province as if Karachi has no importance.

It FEEDS Sindh. We are not talking about Shikarpur or Thar.

It is KARACHI.

Federation can still find a subtle way for Karachi - a fukin financial and commercial hub of this country.

If Karachi is not fixed - Sindh/Pakistan will remain short of success.

This city alone - if given proper attention - can do wonders for Pakistan, let alone Sindh.

We don't have touchy attitude. If we had, other ethnicities would have gotten hurt here in Karachi as well as like they used to be in interior Sindh once and in Balochistan even now.

Karachiites are the most open minded folks in this Pakistan. We just want our due share and that's it.

Just get rid of PPP....most of Karachi folks would be happy on this.

Anyone threatening the state of Pakistan just coz he don't like some other ethnicity,s face or think those different them him are jahil and make there town paleet, which of course belonged to the sindhis in the first place , will get a surprise of his life time

As if the feudal parties will ever allow it - they will make the establishment sweat in their pants regarding its position and this talk will go nowhere.

Karachi is now PPP’s trashheap to own and cut meat out of. But don’t worry, vote PPP ka par Khal sirf DHA ki.

Sir, I disagree with you.

PPP DOES NOT have guts to go against Army.

Establishment knows perfectly well how to tame PPP.

If Pindi gets serious - a lot can be done.

Karachi is providing more. But that's true govt is not serious about development of rural areas. So the big cities are getting bigger.
