Whatever people will say and how much People could criticize PMLN one must agree that wherever PMLN is there is no Violence and I hope PTI would stop wagging its tail behind MQM and ANP and will cooperate with PMLN in future as PMLN governance is the best and in their regions there are no ethnic tensions at all of any sort.

Interestingly political parties are increasing personal interaction with each other to reduce the tension in Karachi but on the other hand the killings of innocent people is going on.
Even if the Police arrest the criminals, various political parties come to rescue their workers.
This is a two-edge sword theory which will not work in the long run.

Just because ethnic tensions are lower in Punjab doesn’t mean PMLNs governance is great. School results fiasco, doctors strike, terrible wastage of resources, and many other issues show how pathetic PMLNs governance is – that too in a province they dominate in.
Karachi is completely divided politically, and to whole any one party responsible is foolish.
And PTI does not have any seats (yet), so it’s not accountable till then.

Mojahirs are muslims and they went there for the development of Pakistan but their roots are still here in India . Any atrocity on them is going to hurt their reletives as well . Such condition will be not condusive for the peace in Pakistan,therfore voilence in Karachi should be handled carefully .
