Islamabad, January 19, 2022 (PPI-OT):Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has invited all opposition parties to reach consensus with the government on passage of a Constitutional amendment for the creation of a separate province for South Punjab.

In a tweet on Wednesday, he said irrespective of political affiliation, national interest requires unity on the issue. He said PTI’s manifesto promises the creation of a separate province for the people of South Punjab and as a party we worked consistently to deliver on it.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said our focus is socio-economic uplift through reforms and setting up of a South Punjab Civil Secretariat and district development coordination committees for better service delivery to people is a manifestation of this fact. He mentioned the institution of a separate administrative structure, budgets, jobs and benefits with over 35 percent development budget for South Punjab and ring fencing to stop financial re-appropriation.
