Is it Lahoris who provide manhole covers in Karachi or was it an Islamabadi who stole it? Is the federal government in charge of keeping a count of manhole covers? Karachi does not "provide 65% of Pakistan taxes", it collects 65% of the taxes. More than half of that is collected from imports at the Karachi port paid by the entire country. Of the remaining, more than half are collected off coorporations headquartered in Karachi but serving the entire country, this includes sales tax paid on their product sold in Ishkoman. This has been discussed countless times here and it's best not to piggyback off it to spread idiotic divisions in the country.
An innocent child has died, you do not get to use his death for your own uneducated and revolting politics.

Karachi does provide 65% of taxes.
Rest of pakistan,.especially Lahore and islamabad, Punjab are tax thieves.
Let FBR give all the numbers and tax theft.
Electricity theft in KPK, Sindh, and Karachi encroachments settlements, don't know how much prevalent in Punjab.
Urdu speaking built karachi,
established airline Orient/PIA, Shipping, financial, banking, and manufacturing industries.
Setup universities, and schools.
All nationalized, headquarters moved to Islamabad.
In their revenge and jealousy to break Karachi from becoming better than Hong Kong, military establishment, Punjabi feudal and new industrial elite of Sharifs with PPP racist feudals, completely annihilated Karachi.
Population was rigged, and parliament seats reduced, and you say I am using the the tragedy for my uneducated and revolting politics?
Local govt made beggars, with no revenue and authority, who did that?
Who has the power in Pakistan? Last I read it is not Urdu sepaking of Karachi.

I will not have this uneducated discussion, built on top of ethnic/regional insecurities, again. You can blame whoever you want for your inadequacies but it will not happen over the body of a dead child, nor by spreading concocted divisions in the country.

While Karachi generates the highest revenue for Pakistan undoubtedly, however I don’t think the numbers are as high as 65%.
There are deep rooted issues with the city. The powers that be wouldn’t want to lose their grip on Karachi nor on a federal level give Karachi more representation (transparent census of Karachi would translate into more representation which powers that be wouldn’t want).
