The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Wednesday submitted a resolution in the National Assembly Secretariat seeking the creation of 20 new provinces across the country.
The resolution asked the government to take steps to create new provinces based on administrative control “in order to address grievances and to secure the interest of the people of Pakistan”.
It suggested that boundaries and names of the new provinces be ascertained by holding a referendum to elicit the opinion of the people of the region.
