After Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) and its coalition partners passed a resolution for the formation of a south Punjab province, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) submitted a resolution for the formation of four new provinces in the country on Thursday.
The resolution submitted in the National Assembly calls for the formation of Bahawalpur, FATA, south Punjab and Hazara provinces.
Earlier today, the National Assembly had successfully passed a resolution for the formation of a new province carved out of south Punjab.
Leader of the Opposition Chaudhry Nisar had complained that the speaker had taken up such an important matter without giving notice. He had claimed there was too much noise and questioned how the speaker determined who had voted in favour of the resolution and who had not.
Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has termed the passage of resolution on South Punjab province as drama and said that no province could be created without consensus of all the political forces.
Speaking to media outside the parliament on Thursday, he said that no province could be created unless two-third majority in provincial assembly, the National Assembly and the Senate is obtained and it was not possible without consensus between the political parties.
He said the resolution was not aimed at creating South Punjab province instead it was an effort to create a dispute on the issue.
He added that the speaker and deputy speaker showed complete biasness during the proceedings of the house.
