Zardari directs government to establish Seraiki bank
He also requested the traders community to pour in capital needed for the establishment of the bank.
On Saturday, President Zardari had called upon Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to immediately start consultative process with all the political parties with a view to make a separate Seraiki province in South Punjab.
Spokesperson to the President Senator Farhatullah Babar, while giving details of the meetings had said that the president had maintained that this was not politics but was meant to respect and honour the aspiration of the people of South Punjab who have been feeling deprived for the last sixty years and were demanding their just rights.
The president had said that the PPP promised to give identity to the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and that they had fulfilled their promises.
He had said that the people of this area have every right to demand and have their own province and the party leadership respected their wishes and aspirations. Furthermore, he had said that this was the right time to give what people have been asking for so long.

I am getting fed up of this democracy, would like army to take over the government, it is getting insane.
More Power to Democracy!
In the words of Bertolt Brecht: ' It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk' .
Seraiki Bank will serve the interests of PPP and nothing more. Another door for loot and Plunder
This is a dictatorship under the guise of a democracy.
Aik Zardari sab pa Bari
This man is doing exactly what late Mr.Farooq Leghary said in his interview with Asma Chaudhry one year before his death.Can some one in Dunya TV pick up the courage & replay that interview,so that people know what are the intentions of this person.
@Blithe:
I agree completely.
Both if it comes to that, let the government only put in some seed money and get the private sector to contribute.
Long live Zardari! We salute you!
@Rokni Even then! We want a Saraiki Province, right there.Understand!
There are considerable people who are already on the streets and demanding that Karachi should be made a separate province.
Karachi should also be allowed to make "Karachi Bank".
People of Karachi have also been feeling deprived since the quota system has been enforced in the country.
By demanding to make Karachi a separate province, people of Karachi are demanding their just rights.
now can we officially have a ZARDARI back please?
Seraiki sooba zindabad. Muhajir sooba Zindabad. Finally Urdu speakers will get recognition of their own. It is a good thing that provinces are made on language basis and all language speakers will get their due rights. We will have our provincial headquarter in Karachi and Hyderabad and Karachi will be in province.
Sindh Bank is arm twisting Sindh Government organisations to withdraw money from other banks (including non-Government funds) and deposit in Sindh Bank.
Will Seraiki Bank be any different?
Great for Seraikee People and for Pakistan. Good initiative.
If Saraiki and Hazara sooba yes, than Mohajir sooba yes also. Why is there discrimination against the Mohajirs in Pakistan? When the PPP led govt. can form new provinces by dividing up Punjab and KPK then Sindh must also be divided up at the earliest. If our Saraiki and Hazara brothers can get provinces of their own , than why not the Mohajirs?
So now there should also be a Muhajir bank. PPP is so eager to make new provinces, it should start from sindh where it has two thirds majority. A new Muhajir sooba should immediately be formed, it's the utmost need of the hour.
Way to go Mr president.We love you.
Long live Saraikistan.Long Live Pakistan.
Seraiki Bank so we can have Seriaki Bank Scandal !!
What will the people of South Punjab do if their problems are not resolved after a Seraiki Sooba is created? Same question to the people of Hazara... Who will you blame then? Search you heart and then say that this is the solution to all your problems...
Plan of government to come again in power 1) Create more provinces (e.g. Seraiki province) to get votes from that area 2) CNG will remain open 7 days a week ( using quota system) 3) Temporarily ending electricity loadshedding for 2-3 months before elections 4) Marginal increasing package for government employees and pensioners in this budget 5) Bogus votes And you know what will happen afterwards!!!
this guy is on another level...
