PML-N in favour of new provinces: Shahbaz Sharif
Adds decision should be taken after mutual consultation.
LAHORE:
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is in favour of creation of new provinces but wants the decision to be taken after mutual consultation.
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.
