Summary Says Hazara province should be formed with the will of its people
CHENAB NAGAR (Dunya News) - PML-N leader Captain (retd) Safdar has said new provinces should be formed, stressing Hazara province should be formed with the will of the Hazara people.
Talking to the media here on Monday, Captain (retd) Safdar said a public referendum is necessary, adding votes are obtained by twisting their arms in assemblies.
Political leadership must be included in the decisions of the provinces, the PML-N leader suggested.
We are in favour of provinces, but the boundaries will be determined by the people. It is my personal opinion. The PML-N's stance should be taken from Atta Tarar, Pervez Rashid, Khawaja Asif and Khawaja Saad Rafique’, he said.
