  • If so then I wonder why people from other provinces especially from KP, GB and Punjab never stops coming to earn in karachi and live there. Let alone poor, the media and cricket celebrities move to Karachi leaving their cities. Not only from other parts of Pakistan but illegal immigrants from Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar come to Karachi. That’s strange.
    Influx of people from other parts of Pakistan have overturned Sindh’s capital economically and its resources.

    • Yes people from other parts of Pakistan are keep coming to Karachi and Karachittes are moving abroad.. The city has become really worst city to live in because of all these immigrants, specially non locals who are in government and ruling Karachi..

    • بھائی صرف لعنت دینے سے نہیں چلے گا
      ان لوگوں کو جوتے مار کے کراچی سے باہر نکالنا پڑے گا

  • It’s amazing how big-hearted Karachiites are in welcoming more and more people from around the country, even when their infrastructure is being destroyed. The city of Karachi is not the worst; it is a city with a big heart

  • Dealing with immigrants is always a issue but many governments have successfully dealed with them in the past by increasing overall economic activity. Karachi is facing an influx of people but economic activity is not being increased (in comparison)
    Saying that immigrants ruined karachi is simply irresponsible.
