KP Assembly adopts resolution to create Hazara province
A resolution moved by the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) for creating a new Hazara province was adopted with majority vote by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly, DawnNews reported on Friday.
Opposition MPAs belonging to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Awami National Party (ANP) and Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) opposed the resolution calling it a conspiracy to divide the province.
Earlier, session of the KP Assembly commenced with Speaker Asad Qaiser in the chair. Sardar Idrees of PTI tabled the resolution which was subsequently adopted by the house by majority vote.
Criticising the move by the ruling PTI, ANP’s Parliamentary leader Sardar Hussain Babak said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was like a bouquet and his party opposes any attempt to divide it.
PPP MPA Nighat Orakzai said the demand for dividing the province was not in line with the current circumstances.
Meanwhile, provincial Health Minister Shaukat Yousufzai tabled another resolution to change the name of the province which was also adopted with majority vote. According to the resolution, the proposed name of the province is “Hazara Pakhtunkhwa.”
The house also adopted five more amendment bills including the one of that relating to local government.
