Earlier, it was learned that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) plans to introduce a constitutional amendment which would strengthen the role of parliament in the creation of new provinces.
At present, dividing a province requires support of two-thirds of the respective provincial assembly.
Sindhi members of the party have reservations over the federation acquiring such powers as it could result in the division of Sindh as well.
The opposition, however, believes that it is all “political sloganeering”.
