Population of Karachi approximately consists of 2 crore which can be divided as follows:

Urdu-speaking-----------------------------------70 to 80 lac(35% to 40%)
Pashtuns----------------------------------------50 to 60 lac(25% to 30%)
Sindhis--------------------------------------25 to 35 lac(12.5% to 17.5%)
Punjabi and Baloch make up the rest of the population.
Note:The above figures are approximate and may slightly vary from the actual figures.

When Urdu-speaking people consists of only 35% to 40%,then why more than 80% seats of Sindh assembly are claimed by MQM?Many writers and columnists have pointed out this asymmetrical balance in the provincial assembly.They have rightfully said that MQM is over represented in the provincial assembly.This over representation is the apple of discord in Karachi.Other political parties and non-urdu speaking people ask for their right and i think they are justified in their claim.They want to recover their seats from MQM.Is it not an injustice when ANP wins only 2 seats despite representing 25% to 30% of the total population?MQM has done injustice to other people by usurping their seats.Yet it is not ready to allow others their seats.It continues to retain all the seats by force and terrorism.

This is the only cause of disturbance in the economic hub of Pakistan.Solution must stem from this problem.There is only one ideal solution and it is that some of MQM's representation must be reduced.MQM will not meet this demand at any cost.All political parties or politicians cannot get this objective fulfilled.Here only army or America/Britain can step in and force MQM to do justice. Ideal solution is that army should do justice by reducing representation of MQM and this reduced representation should be allowed to other parties according to their due share.
