Islamabad, February 11, 2022 (PPI-OT):Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has asked opposition to support constitutional amendment required for creation of South Punjab province, if they were really sincere for the cause. In a statement, Foreign Minister said South Punjab province could not be created by mere criticizing the government rather it would require a constitutional amendment. He said a report by United Nations Development Program had also endorsed his viewpoint calling South Punjab the most backward region.

Qureshi said he had re-sent his letters to Bilawal Bhutto and Shahbaz Sharif along with the UNDP’s statistics. He also asked opposition to seriously consider the matter and support the constitutional amendment keeping in view the ground realities.
