Speaking to the media after the inauguration of the Mian Mir Sports Complex in Lahore, Shahbaz said on Sunday that national leaders should sit together to discuss the matter.
Shahbaz questioned why no voice was raised in favour of Bahawalpur province. Calling it an injustice, Punjab Chief Minister said the Bahawalpur's provincial status should had been restored immediately.
He further said that PML-N would not let “looters” to usurp the rights of the people of Punjab.
“The day of judgement for those who have plundered national wealth is near and soon they will be held accountable by the nation,” Shahbaz said, adding that people will also recover the looted money.

These shareef's will never support South Punjab as a province. The reason they are supporting Bahawalpur province is to prolong and dilute the issue. They are the worst enemies of South Punjab and have never done anything for it. The only work done has been initially by Chaudhary brothers and now by Gillani. Also their lust of making everything in Lahore has destroyed the city of Lahore because of over population, traffic etc. Why should someone form the entire province come to Lahore for jobs, education, health. Shame on shareefs
hahaha they all will come on track now. love u pti because of pti they start paying tax and now this a lot more to come....
Agree! Pakistan needs more provinces on administrative grounds. Mere splitting of Punjab is not enough.
Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan also need to be split for the need of the day. When India and Afghanistan have so more provinces, why cant Pakistan??? Why cant sense and sanity prevail in Pakistan?
This selfish Nationalism and ethnicity is going to take Pakistan to a no return deadly end (God forbid)!
May Allah (SWT) protect us and this country.
Make every district a province. Districts in Pakistan have average population of more than 2million. In Turkey- a successful Muslim country- population of each province is 1.1 million. We have to emulate other countries since nothing is working right in our country.
It is good to hear that PML(n) is coming on board. They didn't accepted South Punjab in their tenure but it is happening now because they have lost support from S. Punjab already. Grapes are sour Shareef bros.
