Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that PML-N will soon table a resolution in the National Assembly regarding restoration of Bahawalpur province.
He was addressing a big gathering of national and provincial assembly members of Bahawalpur Division, PML-N office-bearers and notables at Circuit House Bahawalpur. He said that by bringing resolution about Bahawalpur province, federal government could be forced to take steps in this regard. He said this resolution would prove that who was liar and who was true.
He said further that it was stated in the resolution presented in the provincial assembly for restoration of Bahawalpur province that the people were struggling for it for a long time.
He said this demand was not for a new province but for the restoration of former province and it had its administrative, geographical and constitutional status. He said it was the opinion of the House that the former province should be restored.
He disclosed that in the second resolution approved by the Punjab Assembly, it had been stated that federal government should constitute a commission for creation of new provinces keeping in view the geographical, political, administrative and historical position of the areas for setting up new provinces including South Punjab, FATA, Hazara and other areas of Pakistan.
