Pathans are responsible for all this, they tried to do what they did in 1986, this time they try to do but failed to do on mass scale but still raped tortured and killed many mohajirs.

All the trouble starts from Banaras after killings and torture of mohajir men and women and escalates the leading newspapers also reported the same.

These pathans and afghanis are now threat to karachi and they are not only out to loot and murder mohajirs but also kidnapping and rapping mohajirs girls.

Dear,

You should be realistic in your approach while commenting on some issue. Keep all track record in mind before digging the issue.
All the people of Pakistan knows very well that London based criminal regime is sponsoring and driving the ethnic moves in Karachi from last couple of Decades. The party which openly criticise Pakistan and always try to put its soverignty on stake.
Pathans on this ocassion only retaliated against Mohajirs for their wrong doing in Banaras.

My dear both, do not limit the matter to Pathan and mohajirs. If a few people whether Pathan or Muhajir or any other third person, are doing something bad, we all must condemn it and blame & fight those few bad people among us., instead of blaming all the PAthan and Mohajirs. We all are Pakistanis & we must think as Pakistani. Realistically there are Indians & Afghanis escalating the tension, by hiring & Paying a group of Pathans, Mohajirs, Afghanis,, Balochis, & Punjabis, & these groups of bad people are practically destoying our society. These Pathans, Mohajirs, Pujabis, Balochis do not represent their people at all, they are paid agent, ciminals and terrorist and they must be identified and dealth accordangly. & Mr. Anonymous you are no more Mohajir, call yourself Pakistani and be proud of it. Concerning the issues of Afghanis, they should be sent back to their country as soon as possible. Please don't mix these Afghanis with Pukhtoons of Pakistan.
God bless all of us.

Dear PukhtoonPK,

First of All we are Pakistani's and than secondly we are Pukhtoons. We condemn all the damage done in Karachi that's why i post that.
I agree with you that there are some elements among us who are fueling these issues on foreign back.

Dear Pukhtoonpk,
all the pathans are the same narrow minded people.And it is very true that pathans and mother-fukin' afghanis are responsible for the karachi-chaos.You have no idea what they did to people in karachi.A freind of mine told me that the 'pathans' poured elfy(extremly sticky glue)in his cousin's nose and ears.
You can't imagine how much painful that is.So i would say all pathans and afghanis are a bunch of mother-fuckin',son of bitches.
NO OFFENCE !!!

Dear Anonymous,
Just read your words, when you say all Pathans, then surely you are abusing me. But I am not feeling offendid, the reason is that what you have seen, done by some Pathan, you do have the right to have such feelings. If something like this was done to me by a few Punjabis ,Sindhis or mohajirs, I was defintely having the same feelings. But what my point is that is, the act of few doesnot apply on all. I am Pathan and i codemn what is being done by a few criminals. Be honest to yourself and just ask a question from yourself don't you think there is no Punjabi criminal, Sindhi criminal, Balochi criminal or mohajir criminial. Surely there are, but do you think we should apply the word "all" for the pointing to these few bad people. My dear if you still think it so, then I am sorry to say that you have to broaden your mind. God bless us all.
