The Pakistan People’s Party will continue to support creation of Southern Punjab Province to honour aspirations of local people. This was stated by Member of National Assembly PPP, Main Abdul Sattar while talking to APP. He said people of Southern Punjab had a sense of deprivation for long time and a separate province would offer a solution to their problems.
He strongly criticized the Sharif Brothers for spending billions of rupees on in Lahore localities and said they allocated nothing for South Punjab. That is why people are now demanding separate province for them, he added. To a question, he said PPP is a political party that believed in egalitarianism for bringing qualitative improvement in lives of people of underdeveloped areas.
He said the PPP and its allies took the first concrete step by adopting a resolution in the National Assembly that called for creation of separate province of ‘Janoobi’ Punjab. He thanked the all the political parties for supporting the resolution in Punjab assembly for creation of the new province.
