Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi States New Provinces Require Consensus

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced that the creation of new provinces in Pakistan will only proceed if there is unanimous agreement among all stakeholders. He emphasized that without such consensus, the establishment of new provinces will not be feasible.

During a recent press briefing, Naqvi highlighted the importance of collaboration among political parties and regional leaders in addressing the demands for new provincial formations. He stated, “New provinces will only be formed when everyone is on board; otherwise, they will not materialize.” This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about administrative reforms and regional representation.

The implications of Naqvi’s remarks are significant for the political landscape of Pakistan, where calls for new provinces have been a contentious issue. The lack of consensus could hinder governance and exacerbate regional disparities, affecting citizens’ access to resources and representation.

Looking ahead, the government plans to convene a series of meetings with provincial leaders and political representatives to discuss the framework for potential provincial restructuring. The outcome of these discussions will be crucial in determining the future of provincial governance in Pakistan.
