Going to leave a long list of facts, especially people my age who are too busy to research themselves and have been ranting for a for a few days, 'Haye Karachi ko kuch nahin mila. Loot kar kha gaye'.

Note: First rule of internet, do not believe everything you read on internet. Most of the times its Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 100,000 to make almost anyone on social media to post about anything. Been in the industry for 09 years now.

Secondly, Nope, nobody paid me to write this. I as a sociologist and digital marketeer, am only writing this in frustration how ignorant our people can be when clouded with political affiliations that we do not bother to scrape the facts. Thirdly, I know that only around 15%

of my followers will initially see this post, 5% will read the first few tweets before swiping back those pet videos which are too cute to resist. Yet, if you manage to go through the entire thread, congratulations, you're the 1% who still thinks facts > fallacy.

If you still think 'Karachi ko kuch nahin mila' then I am extremely sad to say that it is too late for you to come out of the bias and the twisted version of history you have been told. Not that I am an expert on finance but I know research and that is what I did here.

And if someone wants to say that this is NOT ENOUGH for Karachi, I would debate that because only the experts can give the judgment based on facts and keeping in mind prosperity for all - not just for people living in Karachi but the entire province. Hence, I rest my case.
