Karachi Population 2018 Karachi is the largest and most populous metropolitan city in Pakistan and the capital of Sindh province. Located on the Arabian Sea, Karachi is also known as the "City of Lights" and "The Bride of the Cities." The 2016 population for the city is estimated to be 16.62 million. In 2016, Karachi has an estimated population of more than 16 million people, which makes it the the 7th largest urban agglomeration and the largest city in the Muslim world.

This makes Karachi the largest city in Pakistan. Karachi was prev...

Seeking details of Benazir’s assets disrespect to a martyr: Zardari

Former president and Pakistan Peoples Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday filed a review petition in the Supreme Court, challenging its Aug 29 order in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case in which the court had sought details of his and those of assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s foreign assets. Terming the seeking of details of Ms Bhutto’s assets disrespect to a martyr, Mr Zardari argued in the petition that such details had nothing to do with the case and that it was out of context and against his fundamental rights. A three-judge SC bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar which is seized with a petition filed by the Lawyers Foundation for Justice president Feroz Shah Gilani asked Mr Zardari in the Aug 29 order to submit an affidavit highlighting details of foreign assets and bank accounts, including Swiss accounts, belonging to him, his slain wife, children (Bilawal, Bakhtawar and Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari) and other depend...

Can India pull a Pakistan in Asia Cup blockbuster?

Even when Pakistan does well at major tournaments, it does so from a point of adversity. Let's hark back to the team's trio of crown jewels: the 1992 World Cup, the 2009 World T20 and the 2017 Champions Trophy In '92, they lost rising stars Saeed Anwar and Waqar Younis to injuries prior to the tournament, and won just one of their first five games before turning it around. In '17, they were so hopelessly out of form and down low in the rankings, they almost didn't make it to the now defunct tournament. In '09 too there must have been something, considering this is Pakistan we're talking about. But the problems that beset Pakistan are rarely felt by their Indian counterparts, whose teams have always been well-run, professionally managed units, even more so ahead of major cricketing events. This is where the Asia Cup 2018 and today's meeting between the two arch-rival is different. Pakistan entered the six-team tournament on the back of a calm...

PM Imran calls for crafting policy on non-citizens

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said Pakistan “cannot continue to ignore the issue of non-citizens and needs a policy to grant citizenship rights to those who have been living here for decades, were born or married here. “The issue of ignoring this vital segment of society is not doing the country any good,” the prime minister said while speaking on a point of order in the National Assembly. “We were informed in a briefing at Karachi that most of those involved in street crimes belonged to this section of society. Since they were not granted citizenship they were not able to get admission in schools or get a job. What else would they do?” “We are producing an underclass,” the prime minister warned and said, “A policy needs to be devised in this regard.”\ He agreed with Akhtar Mengal who pointed out that Pakistan had inked an agreement for the return of the Afghan refugees. But, he said that under the Pakistan law of 1951, children born in Pakistan get the citizenshi...

Ch Nisar, Mustafa Kamal, Sarfraz Bugti, TLP, MML lose the electoral battle MohsinDawar, Ali Wazir win the elections in tribal areas Sheikh Rasheed's plea rejected by LHC and Supreme Court The 11th General Elections have set tongues wagging in Pakistan regarding the alleged role of the military in the political affairs with some political analysts claiming that the practice was sharply influenced by the armed forces. Though the role of the military establishment in the country was being decried ever since the former premier Nawaz Sharif was shown the door in the Panama Papers Case, the calls for non-political role of army rose to a crescendo as the elections approached. However, the following facts regarding the recently concluded elections depict that the Pakistan Army did not interfere in the elections, contrary to the social media propaganda. The landslide defeat of former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan is important. He contested elections from two ...
