Karachi the new flag store

A lot has changed over the past few weeks in Pakistan. The ineligibility of the Sharif brothers to the rise of the long march and ultimately the restoration of the chief justice not to forget the popularity of Nawaz Shareef as the hero and savior of the nation (damn it..why does history repeat itself)...one thing which I have personally noticed a lot in Karachi especially when driving down on Share e Faisal, is the new concept of using street light stands as flag polls. Over the months, I have seen various political parties and religious groups trying to portray their strengths on the street of Karachi...which to be honest looks very dirty. I can't understand that at one place our city Nazim Mustafa Kamal comes on television and compares us with the west and says that they have gone to the moon and we still have no civic sense bla bla and on the other permits these groups and parties to display their strength by putting flags pretty much everywhere. Why can’t he see that these flags on the street of Karachi just don’t look very clean, not to forget it portrays the intense group culture in the city...is this something we should worry about?
