  1. its not the issue of yesterday.it started when the people from India stared pouring in to Pakistan,even they were the part of the proposal of separate homeland for the Muslims of India,first mistake was to accept the people against the Elahbad address of Allama Iqbal and Pakistan Resolution of 1940.
    the second mistake was lack of strategy to accept those mohajreen permanently.
    the third mistake was then government didn’t screen then,didn’t try to send them back who had any criminal record. as the result many of them came having criminal record.
    fourth mistake was to allot them lands and property without proper investigation of their belongings in India,they were allocated big properties on false claims and this was the beginning of criminal acts from which Karachi is suffering now.
    the solution lies in the problem it self.
    1-those who came to Pakistan after 1951 should not be allotted citizenship of Pakistan and should be send back to their respective countries
    2-the claims should now be verified and all the wrong allotments should be cancelled
    3-Karachi should be declared as special zone and all type of political activities should be banded
    4-a full fledged military action should be started.
    5-people of Karachi who are coming to different part of Pakistan like lahore should be screened so that no criminal comes to there peaceful areas to take benefit of the innocence of these people

  4. ^wrong wrong wrong. Mahajireen are not the only problem. People from every race are target killers, not only mahajirs. You might not know that Jinnah, Liaquat Ali and lots of other personalities who had a big role in the formation of pakistan are all mahajirs. You simply just cant blame Mahajirs. If you want to see Sindhi's how corrupt they are, visit defence and you will find them Drunk and largely involved in the business of call girls and prostitution,party type. the solution is that all the sindhis, baloch etc should be sent back to there own lands who have come to karachi during PPPs rule. And target killers should be hunted down and killed by the army and rangers.
