The call for separate provinces is the politics of lust and hatred.
KARACHI: This is with reference to Ejaz Haider’s article of August 13 titled “More subas— I”. Today, people are demanding provinces on the basis of language. If their scheme for grabbing power does not work even after carving provinces they will start demanding provinces on the basis of dialect. It is important to remember that dialect within punjabi, pushto, sindhi and balochi speaking areas changes every 20 kilometres. The call for separate provinces is the politics of lust and hatred.
