According to Wikipedia, as per the 1998 census punjabis were the second biggest community in Karachi (around 14 %) but a lot has changed during the past 15 years, maybe Pashtuns are now the second biggest community there.

Re: New Provinces : Bahawalpur, Multan and Hazarah
PML N is now showing its election plan .
PML-N to form new ‘administrative provinces’ if elected
PPP is also using the Saraiki card this time so new province or administrative units are now common demand of all parties .
Look at a view
Let there be 16 provinces in PakistanThis thread has become now biggest ever discussion on the regional issues of Pakistan so I request all for a serious discussion .
Re: New Provinces : Bahawalpur, Multan and Hazarah
Bajawalpur is deciding again .
province bahawalpur
"Restore our Bahawalpur Province or kill us other option is not acceptable, if Bahawalpur is not restored before elections we are ready to face every party. We have one-point agenda that is Restoration of Bahawalpur Provice. I will myself contest elections from NA-183 & NA-184, in district Rahim Yar Khan joint candidates will be fielded with PML-F. I swear! I never requested for meetings with President Zardari & Nawaz Sharriff. In meetings with Zardari & Nawaz only issue discussed was Restoration of Bahawalpur Province. It was a propaganda of enemies to give different colour to my meeting with President Zardari. We are ready to cooperate with all including Imran Khan for due right of people of Bahawalpur of their Bahawalpur Province"

Re: New Provinces : Bahawalpur, Multan and Hazarah
Is it true that dg khan and rajanpur were part of balochistan at the time of creation of one unit?
Re: New Provinces : Bahawalpur, Multan and Hazarah
No it is not true . These were captured by Maharaja Ranjeet Sing around 1820 . Since than it was a part of Punjab . More intersting there was no state , country or province with the name of Baluchistan any time in history . Province Baluchistan was first time created by a Martial law order in 1970 .
Our intermediate pass intellectual can do any thing any time .

Gwadar was with Oman, and there was Kalat state. What about other parts of Balochistan before one unit?

A post at page Multan Province
Khwaja A Ali
Pakistan’s Ignored Rural Areas
By Khwaja Aftab Ali
Florida. U.S.A.
Five regional cities should be upgraded within the provinces in Pakistan: Dera Ismail Khan in NWFP, Gawadar/Qalat in Balouchistan, Sukkar/Larkana in Upper Sindh, Jehlum/Rawalpindi and Multan in Punjab province.
These cities have been ignored by the federal and provincial governments although they have their own history, culture and languages. Dera Ismail Khan in the South of Pakhtun khwa/MWFP is under siege, Multan/DG Khan in the south of Punjab is the next target of religious extremists, Sukkar/Larkana is being ruled by criminals, Gawadar/Qalat appears troublesome. The people of these regions have to travel to provincial capitals trivial reasons.
A good number of people are also forced to travel to big cities to earn livelihood as the local feudal who own majority land treat the common man as their virtual slaves.
Creation of regional government and upgrading of regional cities will save a lot of money and time of the poor people of these areas. Circuit benches of the High Courts are already functioning in these places and what is required is additional staff to beef up different departments engaged in additional work at the provincial capitals.
The concerned authorities should immediately consider to upgrade the regional cities. And immediate attention should be given to upgrade/build the airports, TV stations, civic centers, libraries, hospitals, educational institutions and bolstering investment opportunities for Pakistanis living abroad. Foreign firms should be encouraged to create jobs in the areas as the majority population in rural Pakistan does not have enough resources to survive.
In this context I am reminded of the conditions obtaining in Iran before the Islamic Revolution when rural Iran continued to be ignored and the capital Tehran was developed and called the ‘Paris of the Middle East’. A couple of big cities, including Isfahan, and the Caspian Sea area were developed because of the attraction they possessed for foreign tourists but the rural area was ignored and plagued by problems of sorts as it was ruled by ruthless police and intelligence forces. It was but natural that the rural population supported the Islamic Revolution and moved to Tehran and other big cities and later ruled the cities. After the revolution, the new government was motivated to develop the rural areas of Iran.
There is thus a pressing need to set up a fund to upgrade/build the regional cities in Pakistan under the aegis of the public and private sectors. Our foreign friends and Pakistanis living abroad could be asked to participate in this singularly important developmental effort.

Re: New Provinces : Bahawalpur, Multan and Hazarah
Are you really following PMLNs stance? They have categorically refused to form new provinces. Nawaz sharif is warning against opening a pandora box, besides PPP has missed the bus. Less than two months are left before caretakers take office, they have failed in raking up the seraiki card as well.

PML-N holds key to dissolution of assemblies, claims Nisar | Pakistan | DAWN.COM
Nisar moreover said new provinces did not belong to ‘some makhdoom’ and would only be formed with the will of the people.
He said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and its allies were not interested in the creation of new provinces, adding that it was only an election issue for the PPP.
The PML-N leader added that the provinces would only be formed after the people of southern Punjab and Bahawalpur express their willingness for it.
Nisar said the PML-N was in favour of the formation of new provinces, adding that they would only be formed in accordance with the Constitution and not through sloganeering.

and will of the people will only be acknowledged when they do a long march towards Lahore or Islamabad?
In other words this is called ayain bayain shayain. PMLN has not told us how to gauge the will of the people, they can hold a referendum in the districts if they want to.
Re: New Provinces : Bahawalpur, Multan and Hazarah
Even People's party is not serious in making new provinces, as a lot of constitutional changes needed to be made for incorporating new provinces. Was any budget allocated for this purpose in the previous budget? It was a lame attempt on tapping on the 'seraiki' sentiment, in which they have failed. They should now leave this issue along with others for the next government to deal with.
