Census 2017. Pakistan

If that was the case then PTI or N league will dominate Karachi and not MQM. Stop exaggerating population numbers without any proof. People are actually moving out of Karachi. If by full share you mean based on imaginary population then its not possible. If Karachi gets less then duo share then there is a case.
See this is the case with you guys. You have already made image of karachi in your mind. Who is leaving karachi? and PTI or N league are famous in Punjab but not in karachi because who ever come to karachi stays here and know the reality that's why they vote MQM because they do work and if you check the era where MQM has given full support by musharraf and funds. Everything was fine if not good or best. Wait for the day when things go out of hands.
 
I actually began to have my doubts about the census after reading all the complaints I read - in particular with regards to Karachi. I then did my own lay observations like satellite imagery of Lahore and Karachi but the spread of the built environment proximated to the figures given by the census. There appeard to be no slip between Karachi and Lahore from what I could see but with all the hue and cry emanating from Karachi residents my doubts persisted - given that we had a PML Nawaz Sharif federal government and also in power in Lahore with Shebaz. It did seemed possible given Pakistan and proclivity for "fudging facts" the PML government had skewed the results in it's favour to the loss of Karachi.

I was also told by many members from Pakistan that the soldiers just stood guard and the actual count was done by civilian PBS enumerators. Thus having the army their did not really make the count immune from being distorted and did not really carry Pakistan Army 'seal of approval' as it only provided security. However after reading this article I honestly was surprised that in face we had two headcounts in Pakistan. One done by the army. I am surprised non of the detractors mentioned this - indeed they reduced the armies role to just "observers".

Thus my surprise after I read this article. I have no doubts now about the accuracy and consider it as good as your going to get in Pakistan. Karachi's population is correct as far as I am concerned.

@Joe Shearer Noted and thanks!

I went back and read the article carefully today; y'day was too disturbed on the real life front to deal with anything in any sensible manner.

It is astonishing that this was done; IT IS EVEN MORE ASTONISHING THAT THERE WAS SUCH FORESIGHT AND THAT SUCH SOUND PRECAUTIONS WERE TAKEN! Please consider: the bulk of our administrative decisions throughout the sub-continent are short-sighted and intended mostly to take care of the immediate threat to the peace and calm so beloved of a slumbering bureaucracy. Whoever decided the procedure this time, or whoever got together with his opposite number to work out a procedure, has displayed what can only be described as prescience. A very carefully thought through decision, and shows that there are elements in the Pakistani administrative service, AND in the military, and I daresay in the political echelons as well, who think on their feet, and act liberally, more than in their country's interests than in their own individual satisfaction.

I found that, dear @Kaptaan, the most striking feature of the episode, even more distinctive than the undoubted credibility and accuracy that the action inculcated. Having said that, let us acknowledge that this singular approach to the questions being raised about demographics in Pakistan has silenced all critics and sceptics. No longer may people raise doubts about the accuracy of the census data, due to its unsupervised nature. No longer might vested interests be cited for reasons to eschew the data provided by the census, or for substituting other data of dubious provenance. Finally, the best part of the matter is that this is not imposing a sense of order or of the credibility of the state on sceptics. If any part of the data is cast into shadow, it may instantly be verified. It will not be necessary to shut up the sceptic, it will now be possible to verify the facts instantly.

An amazing action. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to learn more about your census, and the remarkable way in which it was conducted.
 
I am from Karachi and would like to add but looks like already image has been set that we are false complaining about anything. OP said he observe it but he completely fail to observe that on daily basis there is huge number that come to Karachi, looking for jobs from punjab etc. On every street you will see hotel and those hotel been run by people who came from punjab or other part of pakistan and hotel is just one example of many.
Visitors and tourists are not included in the census.Millions of muslims every year visit KSA to perform umra and hajj.Thay stay over there for weeks and month.but they cananot claim to be the permanent residents of KSA.Karachi is metroplitin city.Hundreds and thousands people come from all over pakistan for different reasons.
But why MQM is making hue and cry??.There is a secret behind that.:D

Please wake up, no one vote for MQM from other provinces. MQM doesn't work only kill and collect bhatta.

Its hard to understand what they mean. Obviously census teams were not counting people in airports and railway stations but going from door to door.

Which Party doesn't? PPP took 10% as zardari famous for. Who knows killed Benazir bhutto. But since it's Sindhi Party it's fine. Only Uneducated people vote for PPP because they made them slaves by opening charity funds bhuttu funds every end of the month if you are senior citizen you will get money and mostly vote is from androni sindh where they are consider as king.


PML N corrupt party as court said and Gullu Butts are famous for killing and badmashi But since it's punjabi party that's fine.

MQM is same but i am talking about development work in karachi. You can't take away credit just like that because u don't like or because you came here from facebook page where everyone bashing altaf. He is bad guy and i don't like him but only one party did work in karachi and as a citizen of karachi witness it. So please You wake up or just drop the topic.
 
You still left the main thing. What to do with those people coming to Karachi on daily basis? Large population needs larger funds. This is Karachi we are talking about where from barber shop to tandoor you will find people from punjab. Karachi needs to be given its full share. Although it will be useless as long as PPP is there to kill us.
Many people also come as seasonal migrants and go back after some months.During ramadhan even beggars from outside come to karachi but as soon as its over they go back home.

Gullu butts badmashi doesn't translate in to killings and massacres like MQM did in Karachi.

PPP is still much better then MQM as far as development is concered. Many mega projects being implemted in Karachi under PPP.

Ahaan you are right. Model town killing is nothing becuase they are not humans.

Which project you are refereeing which is implemented?
