Why do you think making small units as provinces in Sindh or Punjab or anywhere is so looked down upon?
Re: Why is that making provinces is considered something against national interest?
almost of them just afraid with the word of DIVIDE:D: they even dont wana go in further details that how much it benifit to the country. I am agreed that the most of politicians are just in favor of it or opposing it just becoz of their never finish hunger to loot the country but in real more divisions make more smoother ways to govern the state.

So you are in favor of more provinces and say it is better for the country.
I agree that making more provinces is not the same as 'dividing' the country.

Karachi was a federal administrated are till 1st July 1970.
Pir Pagara , Bhutto and Ji were against the restoration of the provinces in present shape and Bhutto asked to make 10 commissionaires as new provinces. Pir Sahib Pagarah also warned of the consequences of reemerging the Karachi into Sindh, But this intermediate pass intellectual’s drunk regime of Yahya did all without any fear or wisdom. Same they did East Pakistan, Same they did with Bahwalpur.,Same they did with Baluchistan,Even same they did with Dir Swat and Chitral.
We are already discussing this issue,
New Provinces ; Bahawalpur, Multan and Hazarah
Please share your views.
Re: Why is that making provinces is considered something against national interest?
Problem with this division is that these new provinces are being created on ethnic basis, and not for the better management of the country. Chouhdries, waderas and other small time politician want their own provinces to rule in. Like PML Q is all ok for a new province in or around gujrat.
We already have too many ministries and minister who do absolutely nothing.

Yes thats the real point. Same goes true for MQM when demanding Karachi Sooba!
Why make provinces on ethnic basis to create more hatred in already wounded Pakistan. Better is to pass more powers at Division levels for managing resources properly.
Re: Why is that making provinces is considered something against national interest?
The reason why people get worked up is because Pakistan is an intolerant society. There is nothing historic in the provincial boundaries, but tell that to the people. I think having a Hazara, Bahwawalpur and Seraiki Sooba is fine. But my question in an over emotive Saas Bahoo watching nation can this be done peacefully. No use given examples of America or Austrailia or some other federation. In Pakistan, this could lead to blood bath. Having said that, I think there is national consesnsus on Hazara. Why not start there and see if it works out.

Handing over a city to a mafia to run havoc is what is looked down upon.

Re: Why is that making provinces is considered something against national interest?
I see the responses and they have some weight.
Isn’t there already mainly ‘ethnic’ based provinces? Yes there is Karachi as part of Sindh and other provinces have multilanguage population but largely speaking, current provinces are based on ethnicity.
Moreover, within provinces, influential people such as waderas, chaudharies, Khans do have stong influence. Why not use them positively?
Karachi for all practical purpose has MQM/AH hold. Let them make responsible by giving them full legitimacy. (Not talking about Govt. or administrative machinary here).
So why not make everyone happy? Make new territories under federal govt.
Give responsibiities to local govt. to secure their people, make financial and educational progress etc. let them use their talent and let them invite people from other ‘provinces’.
**Make one residential address mandatory, only one per person.
**
Everyone will be free to live where ever, so jobs can be dispersed according to the needs and skilled people are given incentives to live and come to different provinces.
Local waders/chaudharies etc. will be happy as being a willing part of central govt. …and yet accountable for their area failure or be rewarded of progress.
We see in Karachi, the resident do not feel they have share in federal decision making and other areas also feel same since there are very large provinces and different ethnicities blame each other for each other problems. As it is Punjab gets blame for other people misery.

His comment is more on generic lines than being specific.
Re: Why is that making provinces is considered something against national interest?
Its portrayed by our power hungry politicians as something against National Interest because dividing areas into more administrative units might mean less power for them although its a universally accepted that smaller units are easy and more efficient to maintain.
