Karachi the Revenue Earner

 

Every other MQM entity and non-entity brags about Karachi earning 67 to 70 percent of the revenue for Pakistan and as if by default they (so called Mohajirs) are doing a great service to the country. As far as I am concerned and I know it most certainly that Karachi is not producing only 67 to 70 percent but much more – around 80 to 85 percent of the total revenue,  and may I also ask where does the 10 to 15 percent of it go?  And who doesn’t know that this huge chunk  goes into the pockets of the Karachiites themselves, of course, illegally.  It disappears in the KPT, Port Trust Authority, West Wharf, East Wharf, Fisheries, Commerce & Industries, Excise & Taxation, Motor & Vehicle Licensing authority, Customs, Airport, KMC, KDA etc. etc. etc. all thronged by the so called Mohajirs and Urdu Speaking people who have had a strong hold on all these revenue earning departments ever since the inception of Pakistan. Just visit the house! of an ordinary customs appraiser or labour inspector and see for yourself his life style and their wives laden with diamonds and jewellery. Just look at the furnishings and furniture of the houses of the MQM ministers and women leaders to gauge the amount of stinking wealth and Khanzir that they possess.  Can anyone tell me why don’t the Karachites, barring a very very few, join the armed forces?  Simply because they can earn much more there by even being only a low grade clerk in any of the above mentioned departments than being a stupid Colonel in the army!!

 

Yes Sir, Karachi does earn much more than 67 to 70 percent of the total  revenue of Pakistan but quite a lot of it disappears as Khanzir somewhere in Karachi itself. Most of it with those whose elders only a generation ago entered Pakistan in rags and penniless but are today amongst the fabulously richest ones.
