Muttahida and ANP clash over new provinces in NA

A row ensued in the National Assembly on Today as MQM and ANPpoliticians fought over the creation of fresh provinces in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In an National Assembly session chaired by Nawab Yousuf Talpur, the MQM given a suggestion that called for the creation of fresh provinces of Hazara and South Punjab and says that the issue should be discussed upon in the assembly.

During the session, MQM leader Haider Abbas Rizvi says that new provinces should be developed in Punjab and KP. However, ANP leader Ghulam Ahmed Bilour responded by indicating that the dividing of KP wouldn’t be accepted. Moreover, he added that a party which could not get any seats in KP had no right to talk about the province’s division. We’ve never spoken of dividing Sindh, so why should KP be divided, says Bilour.

A hot debate between the 2 sides followed, due to which the assembly’s proceedings had to be stopped for 20 minutes.
