Karachi as I see...

Karachi is a truly a multi diverse and metropolitan. It has been a most modern and well infrastructure city after Islamabad. Unfortunately In Karachi we find different ethnic groups and Karachi is in constantly war situation. When I was too young I use to listen about Karachi as a city of lights. When passed my primary education I started listening the killings and barbaric acts. I passed my matriculation exam and started watching talk shows founded that operation was done too to remove criminal elements from the city in early governments of miss Bhutto. 

            We found different ethnic groups in Karachi mostly dominating Urdu and Pakhtun. Urdu speakers known as “muhajereens” migrated from the India after the independence, where as pakhtuns started coming in Karachi in the era of General Ayub khan. Now both are not the son of soils. Their realities both are migrants but are similarly Pakistani.  Karachi as I see is economic hub of Pakistan it delivers more than expected to Pakistan economy almost 45% to 50%. Due to this almost every community lives in Karachi because Karachi is called “Gareeb ke Maa” i-e mother of poor. Now if we judge ground realities we all may come to the one point that due to lack of wisdom in our society we still fight on the name of ethnicity and the current chaotic situation reflects the multi diversed culture of our am mature society. What I believe is there is a need of authentic policy, which helps out us from this hard time. Now question arises what kind of policy we should go for?? May be a military operation? Or may be reconciliation between all the ethnic groups under the shed of political parties? Or do we start cursing history as our state failed to constitute the authentic policy for the migrants?

            Now these are the questions which are yet to be answer. Current chaotic situation where eve day numbers of innocent people are killed and our government has nothing to do except forming a committee to inquire. This process has failed because everyone knows whose major interest is in Karachi. What I believe is we have listed argued number of times that one party is dominating Karachi, but as far as I believe pakhtuns too are dominating now Karachi. What I believe is military operation in every part of the city so that de-weaponization process should come to an end. We found Karachi as a security state where none of us is secure and we all are living at the stake of destiny. Our government has tried nothing except to make happy their collation partners. This is where our government and should take action without any kind of discrimination against all the non state actors.
