The proposed Seraiki province will consist of 22 districts:
Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Rahim Yar Khan, Multan, Khanewal, Vehari, Pakpattan, Sahiwal, Okara, Lodhran, Muzaffargarh, Layyah, Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh, Mianwali, Bhakkar, Khushab, Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu and Tank.
Zahoor Dhareja, a Seraiki leader, however, opposes the restoration of Bahawalpur province, saying the Seraiki province should be based on cultural boundaries. Dhareja said that nobody could object to the formation of a province for the Seraikis when the Sindhis are living is Sindh, Punjabis in Punjab and Balochs in Balochistan while the Pashtuns are demanding the change of the name of their province. He said the restoration of Bahawalpur province would be injustice with other Seraiki districts, particularly Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu and Tank that are historically and culturally the part of the Seraiki belt but were included in the NWFP by the British regime. The establishment of the Seraiki province did not need a two-thirds majority in parliament and it could only be established through a presidential ordinance, Dhareja added. http://www.wasaib.com/english-article/boundaries-of-seraiki-province.html
Niazi sahib lagta hai purani maar bhool gaye hain!
… and why did he not demand this when he was in government for 5 years..
A long time ago, person named Taj Mohammad Laangah started this movement by using every wall of Saraiki dominated areas with salogans such as liberate Sariak Suba. Where is he now?
This is more like zabani jamaa kharch or black mail or starting of new career by Lion Afgan, the Lion of the Saraiki Suba,rather than reality. :)Sariiki prefered to speak Punjabi instead of Saraiki, and they are very much part of Punjab.:)
Re: Sher Afgan Khan Niazi demanding Seraiki Province
I am surprised we have such idiots in Pakistan. We have enough issues as it is, and this dumb **** is starting all this bull*. Someone just put the poor old **** out if his misery.
