Former Law minister Dr Babar Awan on Thursday hinted over making of the Siraiki province, saying demand for the new province could not be suppressed despite concerns of the ‘Lahore Dynasty.’
Talking to journalists inside the Supreme Court, he said that new provinces were a constitutional requisite; hence, the demand for new provinces could not be held as non-sense. “Sharif brothers misconstrued that Potohar and Siraiki are just names of languages,” he said, while stressing the historical importance of the Siraiki and Potohar areas.
He said that the history of Pakistan was associated with Potohar and Siraiki regions. He urged the Punjab government to summarily summon assembly session on requisition submitted by the opposition. It is pertinent to mention that Babar Awan, who often work as legal adviser to the federal government, had said a couple of days ago that the Ramdan would bring a good news for Siraiki people.
Siraiki province indispensable, says Babar Awan
