PML-N does not want Sindh divided at any cost: Nawaz Sharif

PML-N chief says Gilani, Zardari playing with fire talking about more provinces.

SHIKARPUR: Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) does not want Sindh to be divided into more provinces at any cost, party chief Nawaz Sharif said while speaking to the media on Wednesday.

Nawaz said that the way Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and President Asif Ali Zardari are talking about more provinces, they are “playing with fire” and actually are trying to demean the PML-N.

“We are the ones who initiated talk of more provinces. Nawaz Sharif is the one who first talked about the Bahawalpur province, and also of south Punjab, and we feel proud about it,” Nawaz told the media.

He added, “They [Gilani, Zardari] are trying to gather votes in the upcoming elections… They have sidelined Pakistan’s interests to work on their own.”

The PML-N will hold a rally in the Garhi Yaseen area of Shikarpur on Wednesday at 5pm. Sources claimed that around 10,000 seats have been set up at the venue where PML-N leader Marvi Memon will also address the gathering.
