South Punjab: President forms committee to push for one new province (http://tribune.com.pk/story/380026/south-punjab-president-forms-committee-to-push-for-one-new-province/)			Key decisi&shy;ons, propos&shy;als discus&shy;sed betwee&shy;n PPP co-chairm&shy;an and parlia&shy;mentar&shy;ians.

 **South Punjab: President forms committee to push for one new province – The Express Tribune* (http://tribune.com.pk/story/380026/south-punjab-president-forms-committee-to-push-for-one-new-province/)
* 
 The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will press ahead on the issue of new provinces – but is looking to create just one new unit in south Punjab for the time being, as opposed to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)’s  move to propose two. *However, whether it will be a ‘Seraiki’ province or ‘Bahawalpur’ is still undecided.
 
 
President Asif Ali Zardari has given a go-ahead to the party to draft legislation on the formation of a south Punjab and has constituted a high-level committee, which has to submit its recommendations in three months, sources privy to the development told The Express Tribune. In a meeting at the President House on Monday between President Zardari and parliamentarians from south Punjab, a number of key proposals and some decisions were made on a new province. The proposals will be weighed at meetings of the new committee. The committee will operate under the supervision of federal minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin, and members Senator Sughra Imam and Minister for Religious Affairs Syed Khurshid Shah will finalise the recommendations.
 *
The mandate*
According to details, the committee, among other things, will ponder over the new south Punjab province, and its name. There is one particularly interesting proposal. There are two main schools of thoughts – one supporting a linguistic-based ‘Seraiki’ province and the other an administrative-based Bahawalpur province – but the PPP has decided to create just one new unit. Therefore, the party will look to pacify the ones whose idea does not materialise.
 *
How will the PPP do this?*
If the party goes ahead with a ‘Seraiki’ province, the provincial headquarters will be Bahawalpur city – and if it goes ahead with Bahawalpur province, then the capital will be Multan.In the preliminary stage, industrial zones will be established between Multan and Bahawalpur and later expanded into three zones.
 *
Composition *
According to ambitious proposals, aside from the 11 districts of three divisions, Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan and Bahawalpur, the new province would also look to carve out Bhakkar, Mianwali and Jhang. Pakpattan, which is one district of Sahiwal division, would also be included. President Zardari wanted the entire Sahiwal division but some of his party members belonging to the area advised him against this. The committee will decide on this matter now.
 *
The next step*
According to sources, President Zardari said that recommendations of the party committee would be forwarded to the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms (PCCR), which would draft the bill of a 21st Amendment for the formation of South Punjab province.PCCR would perform its role as commission and to finalize all issues including demarcation and financial issues. Senator Sughra Imam while talking with The Express Tribune confirmed the sources’ claims, and said that the party committee had already started working.
 
Sub-article 4 of Article 239 states that a bill needs to be moved by two-thirds of Parliament – and then sent to the concerned provincial assembly, which also needs two-thirds of the house to pass it.  The president will then sign it. “The timing of the formation depends on the final drafting of the committee – whether it does a bulk of the work before budget or after the budget” said sources.

 The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will press ahead on the issue of new provinces – but is looking to create just one new unit in south Punjab for the time being, as opposed to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)’s  move to propose two. </b>However, whether it will be a ‘Seraiki’ province or ‘Bahawalpur’ is still undecided.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
President Asif Ali Zardari has given a go-ahead to the party to draft legislation on the formation of a south Punjab and has constituted a high-level committee, which has to submit its recommendations in three months, sources privy to the development told <i>The Express Tribune. </i>In a meeting at the President House on Monday between President Zardari and parliamentarians from south Punjab, a number of key proposals and some decisions were made on a new province. The proposals will be weighed at meetings of the new committee. The committee will operate under the supervision of federal minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin, and members Senator Sughra Imam and Minister for Religious Affairs Syed Khurshid Shah will finalise the recommendations.<br />
 <b><br />
The mandate</b><br />
According to details, the committee, among other things, will ponder over the new south Punjab province, and its name. There is one particularly interesting proposal. There are two main schools of thoughts – one supporting a linguistic-based ‘Seraiki’ province and the other an administrative-based Bahawalpur province – but the PPP has decided to create just one new unit. Therefore, the party will look to pacify the ones whose idea does not materialise.<br />
 <b><br />
How will the PPP do this?</b><br />
If the party goes ahead with a ‘Seraiki’ province, the provincial headquarters will be Bahawalpur city – and if it goes ahead with Bahawalpur province, then the capital will be Multan.In the preliminary stage, industrial zones will be established between Multan and Bahawalpur and later expanded into three zones.<br />
 <b><br />
Composition </b><br />
According to ambitious proposals, aside from the 11 districts of three divisions, Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan and Bahawalpur, the new province would also look to carve out Bhakkar, Mianwali and Jhang. Pakpattan, which is one district of Sahiwal division, would also be included. President Zardari wanted the entire Sahiwal division but some of his party members belonging to the area advised him against this. The committee will decide on this matter now.<br />
 <b><br />
The next step</b><br />
According to sources, President Zardari said that recommendations of the party committee would be forwarded to the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms (PCCR), which would draft the bill of a 21st Amendment for the formation of South Punjab province.PCCR would perform its role as commission and to finalize all issues including demarcation and financial issues. Senator Sughra Imam while talking with <i>The Express Tribune</i> confirmed the sources’ claims, and said that the party committee had already started working.<br />
 <br />
Sub-article 4 of Article 239 states that a bill needs to be moved by two-thirds of Parliament – and then sent to the concerned provincial assembly, which also needs two-thirds of the house to pass it.  The president will then sign it. “The timing of the formation depends on the final drafting of the committee – whether it does a bulk of the work before budget or after the budget” said sources.     <br />

  The Toronto District School Board has forbidden a controversial Islamic school from operating out of one of its properties. 


  The board revoked the permit for the East End Madrassah, a Sunday school  for Muslim children, citing an ongoing police investigation into  *alleged anti-Semitic course material*.


  East End Madrassah came under fire earlier this month after Jewish groups objected to material posted on its website. A curriculum document compared Judaism with Nazism and said that *&#8220;treacherous jews&#8221; had killed Islam&#8217;s Prophet.*


  TDSB spokeswoman Shari Schwartz-Maltz says East End Madrassah will have  to find a new meeting place until the police investigation is complete,  adding the board has also requested a meeting with school officials to  ensure their teachings are in line with the board&#8217;s policies. 

  Ms. Schwartz-Maltz says East End Madrassah complied willingly and was quick to apologize for the controversy. 

  
&#8220;We&#8217;ve had a relationship with the organization for about 30 years, and  in that 30 years we&#8217;ve had no complaints whatsoever,&#8221; she said. 

  Jewish groups praised the board&#8217;s decision, calling it an excellent first step. 

  
David Spiro, Toronto co-chair of the Centre for Israel and Jewish  Affairs, said he hopes the TDSB will eventually sever all ties with the  school. 

  &#8220;Given the presence of anti-Semitic passages in the curriculum, and the  dubious activism of its religious leadership, it is clear that the  Madrassah has disqualified itself as a partner with the School Board on  any level,&#8221; Mr. Spiro said in a statement. 

  
Madrassah issued a written apology for the controversial passages on its  website, which it said should never have been included in its  curriculum. 

  The offending material was removed immediately after the organization received a complaint on May 3, it said. 

  
&#8220;Our curriculum is not intended to promote hatred towards any individual  or group of people, rather the children are taught to respect and value  other faiths, beliefs and to uphold Canada&#8217;s basic values of decency  and tolerance,&#8221; Madrassah said in the statement issued earlier this  month. 

  
&#8220;We unreservedly apologize to the Jewish community for the unintentional offence that the item has caused.&#8221; 

  
Police have announced they are probing an official complaint against  Madrassah filed by the Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, which  initially discovered the contentious curriculum content. 

  
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty threw his support behind the  investigation, saying there was no room for hatred or intolerance in the  province&#8217;s schools.]]></description>
