Altaf Hussain
MQM Chief Altaf Hussain on Tuesday called for setting up new provinces or administrative units for equitable distribution of national resources and to remove sense of deprivation among different ethnic groups.
In a statement issued from London, Hussain raised the demand for new provinces while addressing a joint session of the coordination committees in London and Karachi simultaneously.
MQM also demanded that an All Parties Conference should be held to discuss the issue.
He said that creation of new provinces in the country would pave the way for stronger and prosperous Pakistan, adding that the government and decision makers should fulfill their responsibilities in this regard.
