Naqvi States New Provinces Require Consensus

News Desk

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has asserted that the establishment of new provinces in Pakistan will only be feasible if there is unanimous agreement among all stakeholders.

He emphasized that without such consensus, the creation of new administrative regions will not materialize.

During a recent press briefing, Naqvi highlighted the importance of collaboration among political parties and regional leaders in the decision-making process regarding provincial boundaries.

He stated, “New provinces can only be formed when everyone is on board; otherwise, they will not be created.”

This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about the administrative restructuring of the country to better address regional needs.

The implications of Naqvi’s remarks are significant for the political landscape of Pakistan, as the demand for new provinces has been a contentious issue among various political factions.

The lack of agreement could hinder efforts to improve governance and resource allocation in underrepresented areas, potentially leading to further regional disparities.

Looking ahead, the Interior Ministry plans to convene a series of meetings with provincial leaders and political representatives to explore the feasibility of new provinces.

These discussions are expected to address the concerns of various stakeholders and aim to build a framework for consensus.
