60s professional and efficient bureaucracy that IK was proudly referrring to the other day was dominated by Karachi with a huge resentment & jealousy from the rest of the country, especially Punjab.
Decline of this city and also the country started from Bhutto's infamous quota system which started a huge resentment and lead to ethnic tensions that was monopolized by MQM which consisted mostly of the less educated and somewhat less well to do section of the society.
Zia and NS regime led to further decay in culture, education and commerce as they treated it as an orphan child and were mostly Punjab centric. PPP on the other hand never owned the city to begin with.
