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.
BAHAWALPUR:
“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.
