The PML-N on Friday moved a privilege motion in the National Assembly against the parliamentary commission on creation of new province and its report.

The motion, submitted by all PML-N members, said the commission has violated the mandate of resolutions passed by the Punjab Assembly. The commission has recommended one province instead of two as proposed by the Punjab Assembly.

It said that only members of South Punjab were given representation in the commission. Nobody from other parts of Punjab was included in the commission, it complained.

The resolution added that PML-N was not given representative in the commission in line with its members sitting in the National Assembly and the Senate.

Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly was also not consulted before the formation of this commission.

The PML-N should be told as to why reference was changed into President’s message.
