The All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA) on Friday hailed Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani’s clear stance on the creation of a Seraiki province and urged all political heads to support the government in transforming the dream of the people of southern Punjab into a reality.
Talking to APP at the Punjab Assembly, the alliance’s central leader MPA Pervez Rafiq said the PPP has always raised its voice against the unjust attitude towards southern Punjab and for the rights of its people. He said the time is ripe to alleviate their sense of deprivation by meeting their demand for a new province.
Answering a question, Bhatti said the PML-N had no option but to support the creation of new provinces in the country. He urged the central government to ensure early implementation of the resolutions adopted by the national as well as provincial assemblies.
