Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Sunday that creation of South Punjab province is a necessity which cannot be ignored.
Talking to newsmen in Multan, he said the establishing a separate province in South Punjab is part of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf’s (PTI) manifesto.
The Minister said a committee has been set up on the issue to develop a political consensus as no single party is in a position to bring constitutional amendment to pave way for the creation of South Punjab province.
He said the committee will hold consultations and will come up with solid recommendations. These will be put before other opposition parties and we request them to rise above politics and make decisions based on objective reality and needs of the people.
Responding to a question, he said that All Parties Conference (APC) summoned by the opposition parties should be meaningful and not focused on saving an individual.
He rejected the possibility of Governor Rule in Sindh, terming the news as baseless.
