Political Leaders Discuss New Provinces in Pakistan

Political leaders in Pakistan have expressed their views on the formation of new provinces, emphasizing that the decision should not be based on linguistic or cultural grounds, but rather on administrative needs. They stressed the importance of resolving the issue through national consultation and consensus, rather than political point-scoring. While some leaders, like Abdul Alim Khan and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, emphasized the need for new provinces to ensure better governance and public facilities, others, such as senior journalist Hamid Mir, cautioned that new provinces alone may not improve governance.
