PPP, MQM, ANP reject idea of new province

DERA GHAZI KHAN: Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif on Sunday broached a new discussion, saying PML-N would support the idea of new provinces in country, including the establishment of Karachi as a separate province.

While speaking in Dera Ghazi Khan, Sharif said terrorism has increased due to the lack of education in the country. He said that the people living in Waziristan were a part of our country too and the drone attacks in those areas were only adding to the growing terrorism.

While answering a question regarding new provinces, Sharif said that his party would support the idea of creating new provinces in the country, including Karachi.

In response to the Punjab CM’s statements PPP, MQM and ANP said that they will not accept the distribution of Sindh.

Sindh’s PPP minister Agha Siraj Durrani said that they will never allow the break-up of the province, while an MQM spokesman said that they will support the public if it wishes to create new provinces, however, MQM will not let Sindh be distributed under any circumstances.

An ANP spokesman from Sindh said that Sharif’s statement regarding the distribution of Sindh has greatly disappointed the people of this province.
