@SK: Shame on you for having such remarks for Rangers. Karachi is not your property and almost all people are migrants so why singling out Rangers as people from Punjab on deputation?. You people are migrants as well from India and are not natives as well and Karachi is not a soul property of One Ethnicity that came from India. Also Performance of Rangers is commendable and they dont take sides and if you want Rangers to go back to Punjab then i am sure the next day Karachi will fell into a Civil War and you will not be able to comment from your cozy home. Rangers dont kill people at all and Ethnic hatred must not be transformed into Professional incompetence remark. Rangers are the best thing for Karachi but it is a bad thing for Thugs and Political Mafia in Karachi so you guys are rebuking Rangers.
