Punjab not to be divided: Zardari
LAHORE: President Asif Ali Zardari, in a message to the Punjab Assembly (PA), has said he is against any kind of division of Punjab, and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will not let any such conspiracy foster. Finance Minister Tanveer Ashraf Kaira read out the message of the president in the PA on Wednesday, saying for a few days the division of Punjab was in the air and an impression had developed that the PPP wanted it. He said the president, also the co-chairman of the PPP, in his message had clarified he was against any division of Punjab. Kaira said the president had also mentioned they wanted to move forward through amicable resolution of issues. The president also said each province would be given its constitutional rights. The MPAs from Southern and Northern Punjab have been demanding a division of Punjab on administrative grounds. They demanded that the province be divided into three parts to ensure that the people of Southern and Northern Punjab are not neglected. A few MPAs termed the demand for a divided Punjab a conspiracy against Pakistan and said it was not the right time to make such demands. staff report
