The commission will comprise six Senators to be nominated by Senate Chairman, six MNAs to be nominated by Speaker NA, and two members from the Punjab provincial assembly, to be nominated by the Speaker Punjab Assembly, the notification issued from the Presidency said.
Earlier, the president had chaired a high-level meeting of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) parliamentarians at Bilawal House in Karachi, announcing that creating a separate province in South Punjab was in accordance with the aspirations of people, based on solid political reasons, and not an election stunt.
The president called for the creation of two new federating units namely Multan and Bahawalpur in Punjab, indicating to initiate the process of amendments in the Constitution.
Senator Farhatullah Babar, the presidential spokesperson, said that the Commission will submit its report within a month to be followed by the process of Constitutional amendments for making the two new units.
He observed, “The Reference draws attention of the Speaker to the Resolutions passed by the National Assembly and the Provincial Assembly of Punjab calling for the creation of the new provinces”.
Following is part of the text of the Reference sent to the Speaker:
“Reference in the matter of implementation of resolutions passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan and provincial assembly of Punjab for the creation of two new provinces namely of Multan and Bahawalpur from the existing province of Punjab.
Madam Speaker, The National Assembly in its 41st Session in its meeting held on May 3, 2012 passed a resolution to the effect that in order to address the grievances and to secure the political, administrative and economic interests of the people of the Southern Region of the Province of the Punjab and to empower them in this regard, a new province to be known as Province of Janoobi Punjab be created from the present Province of the Punjab.

So called aspirations of people… where is electricity, water, food, gas, patrol, good education, quality of living… and people aspiration is to have another province…. must be joking
ye baat sach sabat ho gai k “zardari kutte ka bacha hay”
Twenty four years back when I was student at government college lahore, I proposed to the different segments of society that all divisions (28 at that time) as provinces and divisional headquarters as privincial headquarters. At this moment it seems to be election stunt not long term decesion for the betterment of country/pakistan. good luck pakistan
Hamara soobah Hazarah ……….. kidhay gaya zardari teri ………….
I would have wanted to see less division and more integration. We don’t want to see even 4 provinces. Let’s be united people!! a united Pakistan and then a United Islamic state in the world. In unity is our strength. Our corrupt politicians want to distract people from real issues. Who is so concerned about creating more provinces more than the day to day issues of corruption, poverty, lawlessness, security, basic human rights….
guz wats wrong in having new provinces. i totally support it. i think nwfp should be split into fata, hazara and puktukhawa province and sindh should be split into Karachi plus Hyderabad province and sindh province. it would be more easy to manage these provinces.merely by creating more provinces wont cause any problems rather it would bring an end to dominance on ethnic group over other.
I HATE LESS EDUCATED AND LESS TALENTED PEOPLE.
Not one but all provinces should be divided in to small adminitrative units. Real division is the old 28 Divisions.
Pakistan with 5/6 provinces – longer term bad management, divide us an rule and easier road for corruption .. well done .. !! Zardari – Zionist Puppet !
Aspiration is the act of getting rid of…Something. E.g here its people
An example of aspiration is removal of ……
Aspiration is the release of air after…….
Due to bad decisions we first we lost East Pakistan and now again our politions are trying to deetablize the West Pakistan. If they don,t lern a lesson from Past history, the whole Pakistani nation,ll weep for ever.
Zardari, son of pig, politely translated from Punjabi !!!
The day Zardari came in power i told my near circles that he will became Gorbachuff of Pakistan, we can see step by step he is weakening Pakistan.
Allah may help us from this Bala.

Hey! I know this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does running a well-established website like yours require a
lot of work? I am completely new to blogging however I do write in
my journal every day. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
