Why did Duryodhana and Karna plot an evil plan to burn the 5 Pandavas with his mother in the lac house?

Here's the reason why Duryodhana committed that evil act along with Shakuni and Karna :-
Adi Parva, Section-129 ( Bibek Debroy translation, BORI CE )
Vaishampayana said, ‘On seeing that Bhimasena had become extremely strong and
Dhananjaya extremely skilled, the evil Duryodhana was tormented. Then, Vaikartana Karna
and Subala’s son, Shakuni, tried to kill the Pandavas through various means. However, the Pandavas, slayers of enemies, discovered all of them. But because of Vidura’s advice, they
refrained from revealing these plots.
‘O descendant of the Bharata lineage! On seeing that the sons of Pandu were blessed with
all the qualities, the citizens began to speak about their qualities in squares and assemblies.
“Lord of men, Dhritarashtra, though possessing the sight of wisdom, could not inherit the
kingdom then because he was blind. How can he be king now? Shantanu’s son, Bhishma, is
rigid in his vows and is devoted to the truth. Having given up the kingdom earlier, he will
never accept it now. The eldest Pandava is young, but has the conduct of the old, is truthful
and compassionate and has knowledge of the Vedas. With due ceremonies, it is up to us to
crown him. Since he follows the path of dharma, he will certainly worship Shantanu’s son
Bhishma and Dhritarashtra and his sons and give them objects for sustenance.” The evil
Duryodhana heard these words of affection for Yudhisthira and burnt in grief. Burning thus,
the evil-souled one could not condone such talk.
The reason is clear like water that Duryodhana, Shakuni and Karna wanted to kill the Pandavas because all the peoples of Hastinapura loved them.

Failure of Karna in Draupadi Syamwara

Failure of Karna in Draupadi swayamvar from direct reference :- Karna came to participate in Draupadi swayamvar :- Adi Parva Section-177 ‘Dhrishtadyumna said, “Duryodhana, Durvisaha, Durmukha, Dushpradharshana, Vivimshati, Vikarna, Saha, Duhshasana, Sama, Yuyutsu, Vatavega, Bhimavegadhara, Ugrayudha, Balaki, Kanakayu, Virochana, Sukundula, Chitrasena, Suvarcha, Kanakadhvaja, Nandaka, Bahushali, Kunduja and Vikata—these and others are the immensely powerful sons of Dhritarashtra. These warriors have come with Karna for your hand. This narrative clearly says that Kauravas has come with Karna to participate in the swayamvar Excuse of Karna fans :- The narrative says that Karna only came with Kauravas but it doesn't prove that he came along to participate in the swayamvar Disrobing :- Professor V.S Sukthankar the editor of Adi Parva of BORI CE himself accepted that Dhrishtadymna was telling the name of competitors not guests. Here's the statement of Prof. V.S Suk...

MISCONCEPTION :- Arjuna killed an unarmed Karna who was lifting the wheel of his chariot Here's the description of Arjuna killing Karna from actual event of Karna Parva :- KARNA PARVA Section-67 “On seeing this, Karna again invoked brahmastra against Dhananjaya. He showered down arrows and tried to extricate his chariot. Pandava countered those weapons with his own weapons. Kounteya then released another weapon, beloved of the fire god, towards Karna. It blazed fiercely. Karna pacified the fire through a varuna weapon. He covered all the directions with clouds and it was as dark as a rainy day. Pandaveya was not frightened. While Radheya looked on, the valiant one used the v...

Victory of Pradyumna over Karna in battle

Pradyumna and Karna never fought in Mahabharata but according to Harivamsha which is the Khila Parva of Mahabharata Pradyumna was far superior warrior to Karna. Here's the proof that Harivamsa is also a part of original Mahabharata :- Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE, Section-2 ‘These are the contents of the eighteen parvas. The appendices are known as Hari Vamsha127 and Bhavishya.128 Thus the entire contents of Bharata are described in the chapter known as Parva Sangraha. Eighteen akshouhinis of soldiers came together to fight and the battle raged for eighteen days." Here Ugrasava Sauti clearly said that Harvamsa Purana is a part of the epic DEFEAT OF KARNA BY PRADYUMNA :- pramathya tarasA karNaM yatantaM raNamUrdhani | jagrAha balavAnkArShNiH prasphurantaM tatastataH || 2-84-47 the powerful son of kR^iShNa, (pradyumna), at the front of the battle, oppressed karNa who was trying hard for victory in the battlefield and caught him, who was struggling. ...
