PAKISTAN CRISIS DEEPENS: Zardari Eyes New Provinces | Punjab & KP Plan Sparks Political Storm

Pakistan’s political crisis is entering a new phase as President Asif Ali Zardari is reportedly weighing proposals for creating new provinces or administrative units. Fresh reports say discussions have focused particularly on Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), with proposals to divide Punjab into multiple units and KP into separate regions.The developments come amid growing uncertainty surrounding Pakistan’s coalition government and the role of the powerful military establishment in the country’s political affairs. A reported meeting between Zardari and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in London has intensified speculation, with reports claiming Naqvi conveyed a message from Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir regarding the new-provinces proposal.The idea of redrawing Pakistan’s provincial map is politically sensitive. While supporters may argue that smaller provinces could improve governance and administration, opponents warn that changing provincial boundaries could create new political and ethnic fault lines. Debate is particularly complicated in KP, Sindh and Balochistan, where questions of identity, representation and political control remain highly sensitive. n18oc_breaking-newsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
