Another major problem in Karachi has been the police.. Local police does not have any representation of Urdu speaking. As one army official who did raids in Liaquatabad told me that army personnel had such less knowledge about the area that they did not know where street started and where it ended and sometimes there was houses in the middle of street.
And locals were not ready to speak to them anything. Policemen are generally Punjabi, Sindhi and Pathans who have no stake in Karachi. They do transfers here to make good amount of money from money printing machine known as Karachi. Their attitude with the educated people of Karachi was insulting to the level of extremism.
