‘Sindh is one, shall remain one’: Assembly passes resolution against division of province
Opposes any plan to create a new province amid opposition walkout
The Sindh Assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday, rejecting any proposal to divide the province or alter its territorial limits. Senior Pakistan Peoples Party leader Nisar Ahmed Khuhro moved the resolution, which was approved by all present members. The resolution emphasized Sindh's historic, civilizational, and constitutional identity, recalling its role in the creation of Pakistan and its approval as a constituent state in 1947.
The assembly reaffirmed its commitment to preserving Sindh's unity and territorial integrity, citing previous resolutions and the constitutional provision that a constitutional amendment to alter a province's limits requires a two-thirds majority from the affected assembly. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah warned that the province would not be divided, emphasizing that the decision would be made by the Sindh Assembly itself.
He called for respect for the province's democratic will and unity, stressing that any discussion on restructuring the federation should be within the Constitution and democratic consent.
