He said Naqvi appeared to be trying to explain a major issue but failed to present his point clearly. He added that Naqvi\u2019s remarks did not seem consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rana Sanaullah said the statement appeared to be Mohsin Naqvi\u2019s personal opinion, and it was up to him to explain what he intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the Constitution already provides a procedure for creating new provinces or administrative units, and the matter should be discussed in Parliament. He added that any final decision would be made by the party leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rana Sanaullah recalled that during the PML-N government in Punjab from 2013 to 2018, his party had introduced a resolution for creating two provinces in Punjab. He said forming new provinces is a complex process that requires a national commission to examine issues such as funding, administrative arrangements, and representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that consultations with the National Assembly, Senate, and provincial assemblies would also be necessary. According to Rana Sanaullah, both smaller provinces and a stronger local government system are possible options, but political parties must decide the way forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Prime Minister\u2019s Adviser on Political Affairs, Rana Sanaullah, has described Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi\u2019s statement about creating new administrative units or provinces as confusing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/439298_4858402_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/439298_4858402_updates-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/439298_4858402_updates-1-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/439298_4858402_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/439298_4858402_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/439298_4858402_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/439298_4858402_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9271"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9273,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9271\/revisions\/9273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
