Pakistan Muslim League (Q) Humkhyal Group while announcing support for the establishment of Hazara province said that ANP should have conducted referendum on NWFPs new name but it didnt. In a press conference in Islamabad, PML-Q Hum Khyal Group leader Gauhar Ayyub said that Hazara should have been a province, as better governance in small provinces will strengthen the federation. He said that a large number of Pashtoons are settled in Hazara but if referendum is being conducted, 99 percent people will back Hazara province. He said that Nawaz Sharif backed renaming of NWFP because it needed support of ANP to become premier for the 3rd time. Salim Saifullah said that after Abbotabad incidents, no judicial inquiry has been done. Hamid Nasir Chatha said that he is ready to visit Hazara anytime.
