Violence case: Pirzada explains reasons behind Karachi imbroglio
The bench was hearing a suo motu reference about Karachi violence at the Karachi registry. Pirzada explained that the city’s population has grown to 18 million since independence in 1947, and about 2.5 million of them are foreigners. Meanwhile, only 100,000 are registered under the National Alien Registration Authority (NARA). People from Sudan, Burma, Somalia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Tamil Tigers are all unregistered. Pirzada alleged that most of these people are armed criminals and have own territories as war lords. He conceded that lapses by law enforcement agencies have also led to the situation growing out of control recently.

Does any one of you know Mr.Pirzada and Mumtaz Bhutto were ,once a part of a Sindh Nationalist party in the eighties , which would demand the break up of Sindh from Pakistan ?
We expect him to put forth the case of Karachi in a neutralistic approached way ?
Stop dreaming .
