Hi you are wrong. The pathans who settle in karachi adopt urdu langauge as their language so by 2045 they will all be urdu speakers just like most urdu speakers were originally afghanis descendants. Pathans can become majority Pakistan welcomes it but it doesnt mean Karachi will become Waziristan. Most Pathans who move to cities hate their traditional conservative lifestyles. They change faster than any other even more than Punjabis. Punjabis educated still speak their language Pathans educated dont like speaking pashto.

My family is in real estate we bought land for a Pathan family friend next to another educated elite Pathan. He was nice to us but when he find out that we are building the house for another Pathan he refused to give water or provide help. He said if its for you guys he will help but if its another pathan he wont. I dont know if it is some tribal or pathan traditional thing but he got very upset finding out another pathan is going to live next to him.

^dont make up things, pashtuns have very strong community sense when they are in non-pashtun regions.
Population of pashtuns in karachi is increasing because of large migrations from pashtun areas for jobs. Also urdu speakers are educated people and according to family planning education has inverse relationship with population growth rate.
