After the horrible Gul Plaza incident, Tabish Hashmi joked about selling Karachi if the government can’t manage it!
TV host Tabish Hashmi is at it again, this time with some pretty strong words about how Karachi is run. He was talking about the terrible Gul Plaza thing on TV when he compared the city’s problems to the government being unable to handle Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), This got everyone talking, especially people in Karachi who are sick of constant disasters.
Hashmi wasn’t just trying to be funny. He was tapping into the anger people feel when things keep going wrong and nobody takes responsibility.

If You Can’t Run It, Sell It – Seriously?
Hashmi basically said that if the government couldn’t run PIA and sold it off, maybe they should do the same with Karachi if they can’t get their act together. It sounds extreme, but he was trying to point out how bad things are for people living there – falling-apart buildings, zero safety, leaders who seem to do nothing.
But here’s the kicker: Hashmi said Karachi could be Bought and run by the people who live there – Pathans, Baloch, Sindhis, everyone. That’s a call for everyone to work together.
Gul Plaza: The Last Straw?
The Gul Plaza collapse was the reason for the whole discussion. It showed just how dangerous Karachi has become. Hashmi wondered if this is how a huge city like Karachi should be run. He even said that regular people might do a better job.
A lot of people agree with him, they think the disasters are not just random, but that they happen because people aren’t doing their jobs.
Where’s the Resignation?
Hashmi also brought up something important: nobody in Pakistan seems to resign when big screw-ups happen. In other countries, officials quit when tragedies occur to show they take responsibility.
But in Pakistan? Rarely happens. Hashmi thinks there should be a standard here. If people die because of bad leadership, someone should step down.
This call for people to be responsible sparked a lot of talk on social media.
What People Are Saying
The Tabish Hashmi Karachi statement went viral fast, and people have different opinions. Some think he’s brave for saying what everyone else is thinking. Others aren’t so sure. Either way, it’s made people talk about the problems in Karachi again.
It shows that satire and talk shows are good ways to get people thinking and hold politicians accountable.
More Than Just a Joke
Hashmi is known for being funny, but this time, he was serious. It wasn’t just about selling Karachi, but about demanding that things get better. People want safe cities and leaders who actually do something.
Karachi is super important to Pakistan’s economy, and it deserves better. People like Hashmi are forcing the issue.
