LAHORE: A resolution was submitted jointly by Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in the Punjab Assembly for the establishment of a new southern Punjab province on Thursday.
PML-Q’s Chaudhry Zaheeruddin, PPP’s Raja Riaz and other members of the two parties including Amir Talal, Mohsin and Yousuf Leghari and Muhammad Yar Hiraj were also present at the occasion.
PML-Q leader Talal warned if Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz tried to oppose the resolution, then the people of southern Punjab will never forgive them.
PML-Q Members of Provincial Assembly (MPA) credited senior leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi for voicing the concerns of southern Punjab.
Earlier on Wednesday, Nawaz, addressing a public gathering in Dera Ghazi Khan, said he was “completely in favour” of new provinces based on administrative grounds in Bahawalpur, southern Punjab and other areas if appropriate.
