ANP is more worried about Karachi than their own province, KP?
We are getting worst than Mexico, if we are not already, in killing our own. But Mexico is more sincere toward advancement and anti-corruption schemes. Oh yes! They don't want to break-up their nation either. Plus, they have more citizen who love fellow citizen, so they have better chances of survival & coexistance in the long run.
