  "summary": "PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah has stated that the decision on creating new provinces in Pakistan will be made by Parliament. This comes after Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi called for new administrative units to address the growing population and changing needs, sparking a debate that began in late July. Sanaullah emphasized that such discussions should take place in Parliament, rather than at economic forums, and that the final decision would be made by Parliament after consultation with all political parties and provincial leadership.",
