Why our politicians see back to our history. we lost Bangal due to same reasons same situations are there in Balouchistan and Pukhtoonkhwa. so to be just all the provinces should be given their fundamental rights. many friends have argued that making of new provinces will make the country weaker economically. that is not true we have the examples of India and USA where there are a lot of states still they are in a good position. if we are standing as a weak economic country it is due to our past mistakes, because no province has been made yet.
some ppl argue that it will make a way for making other provinces in Balouchistan and Pukhtoonkhwa which is not true. there is no languishtic groups in these provicnes in such a large proportion as saraiki. for example the population of all hazara divission is less than that of only District Peshawar, Charsadda and Mardan.
More than 50 percent of the people in pakistan are still deprived of basic educational and health facilities, We should focus on them prior to the deprived lot in multan and adjoining cities. The factors that played the havoc of separation of easth Pakistan from west Pakistan were the geo-political conditions at that time. The basis of movement in Balochistan is due to the resources of which baloch community thinks its deprived of so its in no way be comparable to the movement that has gained popularity in Punjab. US initially comprised of some thirteen colonies and later on joined by the others and in India the reason to divide country into various provinces were princely states, which the Govt. of India later provided the status of provinces.

If talking about the lingustic division then the Pashton have an equal population in Balochistan, it must also be divided. Similarly this step would provide a fair ground to all the parties either political or ideological to start such movements.
