President Asif Ali Zardari has said the Seraiki province will be carved out before the general elections.
He said so during a meeting with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) workers in Multan. Zardari said that this is the best time for the formation of a new province for the people of south Punjab, adding that he would visit every nook and corner of the South Punjab in a bid to carve out a Seraiki province.
He said that some people were opposing the new province for their vested interests but they would have to face defeat.
Terming the creation of a new province the voice of the downtrodden who have been facing tremendous problems for a long time now, he said that the new province would facilitate the indigenous people in resolving their issues on a priority basis.
Regarding the much hyped ephedrine case, he said Ali Musa Gilani was falsely implicated in the drug case. He said that he had come to Multan to express solidarity with Yousuf Raza Gilani.
Zardari said that he had voluntarily ceded his powers, while Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was holding several ministries. He said that the PPP was able to form its government in Punjab but it let the PML-N do so.
