Making Karachi a separate province can be justified on all grounds - ethnic,
linguistic, and administrative. PHOTO: AFP “Why not create a Seraiki province
in Sindh?”
This is my cardinal question to all those who want Punjab to be divided.
The MQM’s recent call for new provinces to be carved out in Pakistan has irked
me a great deal. To explain my sentiment, here’s some background on the province
of Punjab. Many different dialects are spoken in this province, some of which
include Majhi, Jhangochi, Pothohari, Saraiki, Jatki, Hindko, Chhachhi, Doabi,
and Derewali.
The MQM has submitted a bill to the National Assembly calling for Punjab’s
division on linguistic basis. What they don’t understand, perhaps, is that
Seraiki is a just dialect of Punjabi and not a different language.
Moreover, the Seraiki population in Punjab is 17%, while 40% of Sindh’s
population is Seraiki. Given these statistics, where should a Seraiki province
first be made, Punjab or Sindh?
In the 1990′s, the MQM had a muhajir province in their manifesto – why aren’t
they making a muhajir province in Sindh now? Why are they bent on breaking up
other provinces? The population of Karachi has almost exceeded 20 million. This
is twice the size of the Seraiki population in Punjab. Logically speaking, the
top priority should be to make Karachi a province, not only because the law and
order situation is worsening, but also because it is the financial capital of
the country.
In addition to this, making Karachi a separate province can be justified on all
grounds – ethnic, linguistic, and administrative. The MQM also holds the
majority of seats in Karachi. Then why are they interested in dividing Punjab
first, where they still don’t even have any mandate of the vote? Haven’t
Punjabis already divided their motherland to become a part of the federation of
Pakistan?
Another vocal supporter of the division of Punjab and Balochistan was the ANP.
They wanted a Seraiki province in Punjab and a Pukhtoon province in Balochistan,
however now they have changed their stance and are against the idea of division
altogether.
Confusing? Well, that’s Pakistani politics for you.
Why, though, has the ANP changed its stance?
My guess is that this is primarily because the MQM has filed a bill for the
Hazara province to be stamped in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and calls have also come up
for Malakand to be established as a province. The ANP is, thus, worried that it
will have less land to govern if two more provinces are carved out of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.
Isn’t it a violation of the constitution of Pakistan to take these bills to the
National Assembly when the constitution clearly states that the division or
demarcation of provinces will be decided by the provincial assemblies? Will it
not weaken the federation further, when the centre decides on the division of
federating units, which are semi-autonomous as declared by our constitution?
If Pakistan carves out four more provinces out of all the federating units,
will the treasury be able to bear the expenses of the offices of 16 chief
ministers, governors, secretariats, chief secretaries, provincial secretaries,
police chiefs, and many others? The creation of new provinces will not
contribute towards provincial or federal revenue, in fact it will add an extra
financial burden on the nation that already spends a large amount of its revenue
on the defense budget.
However, if only the Seraiki province is created out of Punjab, it will lead to
unequal representation in the Senate, and Punjab will have double the number of
senators as opposed to other federating units. This will create a renewed sense
of insecurity in the smaller federating units, who already complain about
getting unequal representation in the National Assembly and that Punjab is
dominating the national affairs.
The creation of new provinces will exacerbate these problems. They will bring
political turmoil to a society that is already going through social
polarisation.

As radical as it may sound, the nation needs to consider banning MQM as a political party, as its leader is a British Citizen sitting in London, and the party itself does not believe in Pakistan, it regards it as a 'blunder'. These people are purely out to Break Pakistan.

When will our people wake up and realize this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plan to tackle MQM:

1. Take away the Citizenship for MQM members

2. Implement the supreme court ruling for the government to submit a reference in order to ban parties with armed wings

3. Repatriate MQM members involved in terrorism to India, as this is an Indian terrorist outfit, as proved by the Ajmal Pahari case, where he was found to be trained by RAW in India.

4. Take away all voting rights from MQM members and their sympathizers

5. De-weaponize Karachi, using the Army

6. All people must adhere to the Iqbal Ideology and the 2 nation theory

7. Ask Britain to extradite Altaf Bhagoro, ******, dramabaaz, Kaali maa ka pujari to Pakistan.

8. Punish Altaf Hussain for his crimes once found guilty in accordance with Law, using a firing squad.

Jiya Pakistan!
