New Provinces: PML-N MNA criticises commission
"We did not join the new provinces commission because it is meant to deceive," says Chaudhry Saood Majeed.
“The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) is the only major political party campaigning for a provincial status for Bahawalpur. We did not join the new provinces commission because it is meant to deceive. We cannot betray the people of Bahawalpur,” PML-N MNA Chaudhry Saood Majeed said on Wednesday.
He was addressing a press conference in Jamaldinwali, Rahim Yar Khan, on the proposed creation of Bahawalpur province and the setting up of a parliamentary commission to give recommendations in this regard.
He said fairness could not be expected from a commission comprising people hostile to the popular demand for the province.
He said that the PML-N had not been consulted on the composition of the commission. He said the Centre was playing games with the people of Bahawalpur by setting up a commission, which had no real representation of the people of Bahawalpur.
He said the PML-N would readily join a commission that was fairly constituted.
