Mukhdam Qureshi, with all due respect you are wrong. A separate province for Muhajjirs. Who are discriminated against, heavily, by the Sindhis, Punjabis, and Pathans. [The Baloch are busy with their own problems. Tied down with insurgency.] No more second class citizenship. Under the thumbs of Sindhis, Punjabis or Pathans, for Muhajjirs. Unacceptable. After 67 years, enough is enough.

Mohajir province will be created, and PTI just lost my vote. Time to rejoin MQM again.

So PTI only want to break punjab?

why not new province in Sindh and why in Punjab. No one will accept such a double stander from PTI. or because your are Makhdom or worried about your Jalsa in Larkana. You and all like should note down that weather PIT or PPP like or not Sindh will have 4province and more in Punjab Kp and Baluchistan and TISH WILL BE REAL NEW PAKISTAN.

All talk, lots of firecrackers, no action.

Those who created Pakistan can also create Mohajirstan.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi will be a problem for PTI at the end of the day. He is not a real person. Imran is the only person who is carrying the full load of the party. But its OK; once they have the government, Imran knows how to control everything.

Only who hate can be against Muhajir Peovince. A Pathan leader of PTI will never support a Muhajir province.

Why not more provinces if constituion allow this then what is the harm it is imparative to have more provinces in Pakistan but none should be base on ethnicity. Goverment should conduct census in the country and decide about new provinces in the Assembly demanding new provinces should not be took it negatively it should be dealt as per law

PTI has just lost votes of a significant chunk of Urdu speaking sindhis. IK should remember that PTI will not be able to gain foothold in interiror Sindh. There only hope of gaining representation is in the urban centres of Sindh. But leaders like Qureshi are making serious blunder by giving statements against administrative division of Sindh. MQM stands to gain when PTI leaders make such mistakes.

Mr. Qureshi hope when you speak...you do not represent PTI policy guidelines...may be with an intention for getting votes... or for maligning PPP in whose domain Sindhi minorities live…or for reasons unknown you just declared all minorities "oppressed" as it is a some kind of state or a party policy...may be you or your party in its state of delusion committed "oppression" against minorities...yes crimes may have been committed against them and so is everybody else a victim of lawlessness in Pakistan...however please do not make whole Pakistan or any other political party responsible for your actions or delusions...sure you should think before uttering highly offensive words...sincerely believe an apology should be in order...

PTI just wants to win the vote bank in Sindh by not supporting for another province in Sindh,its always politics for these people.Mehmood Qureshi is an ex PPP member just like Javaid Hashmi,he also has a soft spot for his previous party and God knows one day he might have to join them again.

First priority should be LB elections. Then election reform + mid terms and then province split can be discussed in the Parliment by the fairly elected representives. Give power and obey back to the people on the way of LB. ( from Zardari and NS ) --/ then Karachi people after the LB ( once they have the local power ) can decide if they really want to split. At that point there should be objections. ( they can think of referendum )

@Asma Lost mine too.

Its funny how NWFP can be renamed as pakhtoonkhwa but Karachi folks will never be allowed an identity. Perhaps they were smart when they came from india or they were placed in the perfect place but either way they have control of the countries wealth and shipping route. I think its fair to break sindh and all other provinces for better governing. Sindhis and Punjabis have abused power along ethnicity lines since this country was created

MQM has lost its voter base to Imran Khan. Its call for Mahajir province is just an act of desperation.

@Asma pti havnt need of such vote which is given on the basis of divison of sindh nd against of pak

Just say NO to MQM province!

@Asma keep in mind nobody in this Land of Pure support Mohajir province. We will have to struggle to get it and we will.

Mohajirs will crush anyone who comes in their way. JEEYA MOHAJIR !!!

PTI is against provinces in Sindh because it wants to appease the Sindhi nationalist parties (aka Mumtaz Bhutto) to make them Join PTI against PPP. PTI will fail to get Sindhi support. I have utmost respect for Sindhi masses. They never vote for anyone other than Sindhis unlike Muhajirs . TPTI will lose existing support of Muhajirs in Karachi.

Why? There should be at least 15 provinces. I have no idea why he said that, may be to get sindhi support. Sindh and Balochistan need new leadership, no question about it. People are really suffering there.

More power to local bodies. Why MQM abolished 5 districts in Karachi if they believe in devolution of power. MQM can't have it both ways. IK says he will make a commission to ponder over this issue. Great IK.

Yes. Whether or not someone supports the reason ...this the demand of every urdu speaking living in Sindh...Stop discrimination in job,admission,targeting urdu speaking in the name of operation ,give equal rights so that we can elect urdu speaking chief minister...

Imran Khan needs to realize Shah Mahmood will become a liability if he keeps relying on him. There should be no province for Mohajirs....But there should more provinces based on administration. Out of 4 provinces Pakistan needs to have at least 16 where local gov't runs the show not Sharif family members or Zardari family members.

PTI can romp and kanoodle with empty words and all the moneyed parties against Karachi. We Karachiites don't like back-stabbers. We are an educated and intelligent lot that want to keep up with the world. PTI you may be worth all the gold in Punjab, KP, and maybe interior Sindh in the coming days, but in Karachi you will face your toughest battle and the Muttaheda will put a damper on your glory days and so will we. Viva Qadri and Muttaheda. Salams

This is called politics of interest not the politics of principle. Wonder what is the difference between pti and co existing political parties.

@meer how is the Mohajir provence is against pakistan?

iam totaly disagree for seprarate province of muhajjirs. MQM will never faithtull with sindh province

@Radiohead good move,,next time Muhajirs from Afghanistan will ask for their own from province out from the core of Karachi .its would name as "Katti Pahari province" ,, :)

Its so ironic to make this issue of making administrative divisions a political / lingual one......btw....Sind is not a holy land....its just a piece of land like punjab, KPK, Kashmir, Balochistan......why do we call this administrative division "breaking" ....all units still be part of Pakistan.....and since it will give power and resolution of problems to be people living in there....it will ultimately make Pakistan prosperous and stronger......

I voted for PTI from "azizabad" (400 meter away from nine-zero) constituency in last elections....what do you think whom will I vote next time?...My answer :: whose words and actions will make "more sense" to me.......and you need to understand that its not only me...there are thousands of logical and sane thinkers across

And hence proven why the PTI administration is against a new province for muhajirs. If muhajirs stop calling themselves that and stop alienating themselves, and for once be a part of pakistan, and stop crying about the atrocities against them, maybe they'll be a bigger part of Pakistan then they are right now.

There should be new Province in Sindh. Urdu speaking people are facing discrimination on every level. No government jobs are there for them, look at Sindh education board, 30000 vacancies all awarded to sindhis, look at Sindh secretariat, no Urdu speaking you will find there. Look at police, every where you will see the gross discrimination against Urdu speaking. InshaAllah time will come when we will have a separate province. After Mustafa Kamal time, Karachi has been intentionally ignored and destroyed by these thugs. What development they have done in last 6 years. Nothing. Why they can't find any out standing person to run the whole Province than a useless 90 year old man, who knows nothing about anything. Facts are bitter, and we have to accept them.

What non-sense Mr. SMQ talking about? This reflects a typical thinking mentality of a landlord. He must realise that new provinces on administrative basis and Kalabagh dam are need of the hour for Pakistan.

PTI has hit MQM right in its domain, that is why MQM has come to back foot to the same slogan that they chanted when they were Mohajir Qaumi Movement. Unfortunately some leaders want to have their own own provinces including MQM. No leader is thinking to consolidate all nationalities living in pakistan except IK. We are with IK.

I have been a staunch supporter of IK since 90s, but now am being wary of him because of people in his party.PTI is now hijacked by croonies who have left PML/PPP. Pakistan's last hope is also fading away.

In social evolution we are still near bottom rung , what ever we do is usually self preserving ill-conceived so fires back. Immigrants (once muhajirs) are smarter hard working than older populace who feels threatened.Wisdom is to create more 'administrative units' within the traditional provinces as done by creating more districts giving them equitable representation at the provincial assembly. This should thwart the designs of self seeking hate mongering politicians, & the enemy within, exploiting our gullible masses.

I donot understand why MQM has this issue now. May be they are losing their vote bank.

Sindh is a homeland of Sindhis for thousands of years, Sindh created Pakistan with a resolution in Sindh Assembly. Sindhis welcomed displaced Muslims from India. Mohajir means migrant, and any migrant has no right to demand for a separate province or a separate country. These migrants ( Mohajirs ) also settled in Punjab but no one dares to call themselves a Mohajir in Punjab then why still they call themselves Mohajir in Sindh. Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtoonkhuwah and Balouchistan are natural territories do not try to divide them. We believe that Urdu speaking community is a vital part of Sindh and Pakistan, they are Urdu speaking Sindhis. Urdu speaking community is being poisoned by a racist party who rule since 1885 in Sindh but still cry for being neglected? If you compare today Karachi has much more facilities as compare to Peshawar, Lahore, Quetta or any other town of Pakistan ( Medical, education, infrastructure ). Today people of KPK, Punjab, Balouchistan and Rural Sindh reject any racial political party ( they elect PML, PPP, PTI who talk about all races ) but Karachi is hijacked by a racist party who considers Sindhis, Punjabis, Pushtoons as outsiders in Karachi? A new province for migrants ( Mohajirs ) then why no one migrant is asking a new province in USA, Canada, Australia or any EU country, they have migrants more than Pakistan.

Disagree.............

New province is just a melodrama by PPP and MQM, they want their linguistic vote bank, MQM has fear for PTI and PPP fears from nationalists started gaining support from masses and announced to participate in elections. This is zardari - altaf trailer. There is no any provision in law to divide province without 2/3rd majority approval. Sindhi and urdu speaking people living peacefully in Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur. Those who are interested in riots have initiated this propaganda. Devolution of powers at district level is an easy option. these already established assemblies use chunk of budgets, So making new province is foolish talk.

Why do we have sow the seeds of hatred we are all 'muhajirs' in this world in transition to ascend to higher level of truth. Fanning hatred is satanic not friends of ours or humanity

If there is no province division in Sindh then there should not be any any new province in Pakistan at all. PTI as you say no one can stop the making of New pakistan, so is the case with New Mohajir Province.

Unacceptable division of sind.

@Rizwan What nonsense. Last time i checked Afghanis were from Afghanistan unless you gave all of them a pakistani passport. On the cynical note, are you implying that we mohajirs are still indian?

No, to New province. If MQM (because i personally know hundred Urdu speakers who does not ask for province) can ask for New Province, Then Why dont pakistan let us Seperate from them. if MQM say's Their forefathers created Pakistan, Then it was sindh, who Born Pakistan. It was sindh, who was far before pakistan named and called Bab-ul-Islam, and Pakistan was made in name of Islam, We were independent before pakistan, so please leave us alone, separate us. if Sindhis struggle for their right, they are burnt alive, If they want freedom, they are barished, Why they are asking so easily for a new province. aik dharna de kr beth gaye karachi mein to bana logay sooba....nateeja kia niklega????? tashdud!!!!! Urdu speakers ko koi preshaani nahin hai, MQM ko hai.......

Disagree

no

@Talha bro, not for you but it is more than holy for us. you dont know How we love our Sindh. it is not about that urdu speakers should not get their rights, we condemn it, but dividing sindh is for sindhis is like piercing someone's own mother in front of his eyes. You cant change that feeling its by natural, sindhis no matter belongs to any party, but have that feeling. come and see yourself and observe that it is a lie or truth, Urdu speakers should given their rights, if someone is not letting this happen, he should be asked, but for a province in sindh....No, simply No.

New province is just a melodrama by PPP and MQM, they want their linguistic vote bank, MQM has fear for PTI and PPP fears from nationalists started gaining support from masses and announced to participate in elections.

Division disagreed

Did agreed

@Radiohead yes you are, and u always be.

@Urdu Speaking Sindhi It wont help, It has not helped & possibility is it won't help. Urdu speaking migrants of 1947 residing in Sindh will not be accepted as Sindi, no matter what ever you call yourself, take my word. I am a desperate sufferer of Quota System, it spoiled my career for good. I tried by very best to convince Sindhi that the Urdu speaking population of Sindh have burnt all their boats & have settled in Sindh with their heart, soul & mind, they will die in Sindh, their earnings will always remain in Sindh, Mohajirs consider Sindh as the last abode on earth, but it did not help.

The greatest blunder was committed at the time of creation of Pakistan. No province should have been made or named based on a particular ethnicity or language. The root of division goes back at that time. In 1947, Pakistan should have abolished all the existing provinces boundaries at that time and should have created fresh provinces named without any reference to any particular language and ethnicity. Neutral names of provinces would have killed the chances of any particular ethnicity's claim of being exclusive "OWNERS" of that province. Right now, each ethnicity of their respective province claim that province as their "BAAP DADA KI JAGEER" just due to similarity of the Province name being related to their language.

sindh is not property of anyone's father's .sindh is homeland of sindhi nation. sindhi nation not accept division of sindhi sindh should be separated of pakistan

strongly disagree

jey shah mahmood qureshi ...........

Facts: 1. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was not the founder of PPP. Mubasshir Hasan is the founder and he nominated Mr. Bhutto as chairman. 2. Mohajir need a separate province for sure. No one should be discriminated in their home and mohajirs have been deprived for jobs in the name of quota. How come Imran Khan's spokesperson is against a new province.

Tottaly disagree

Tottaly disagree

Sindh is one and ll remain One.

PTI should be very careful in terms of releasing statement on this sensitive matters. PTI needs full support of all big cities of Pakistan including Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkar etc. PPP is baiting PTI to divide opinion of rural & urban sindh peoples in the wake of Larkana tusanami. instead PTI should say that after coming to power it will try to remove irritants confronting Mohajirs in Sindh.

Disagree..................

We are against the division of Sindh. We know that Urdu speaking Sindhies are not in favor of division of Sindh

As long as we have the political parties based on having no principles, ethics, truth,justice. We will have ethnic parties like jay Sind, Balouch liberation front, MQM. It is time to have a political change. A change that would talk about the truth, about corruption ,about the minority rights,about injustice not necessarily about mohairs but every one across the board. Folks. A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

@Asma they are more interested in Sindhis votes. They underestimated mojshirs are equal in numbers. It seems like their interest is the sons of the soils.

@H chaudhry but not Sind just like ppp. What a politics without principle

Qureshi is going to be the Waterloo of PTI. He should avoid playing politics of hypocrisy. If there can be Saraiki and Hazara provinces why not a separate province in Sindh? I think PTI's dream to become a popular party in urban Sindh would soon be shattered as if it opposes a mohajir province it looses support of Mohajirs. Instead Qureshi and other Sindhi nationalist leaders in PTI ranks sane voices should com forward.

@Amir Please don't go that far. We cannot stoop that low like others. We are mojahirs we sacrifice. We did onece before. Our forefather left their country for this beleaguered Pakistan.

@MSAlvi Imran can be a leader he will never be a statesman. Dr Qadri can be

@Mohajir let us not be hate mongers

@Winnerman Why. What they did to u

@Radiohead True. But have some one in your party raises this issue. Not just for political publicity and when they are in power to keep it alive not to keep in cold storage like quota system.

V Good Qureshi.

Sindh is our motherland , and we will not let to be divided even at cost of our lives., it's our forefathers land., and you muhajir be thankful of us , me gave you shelter and now you be talking againstmour land.. remember your past when you even didn't have clothes on your body, no any shelter nor even to eat, we sindhis provided you all what today you have is because of we sindhis., be in your limits...

Who asked you; you are neither Mohajir nor Sindhi.

@Kalash wala You don't like anybody, you have an option to go back where you come from.

NO ANY DIVISION OF SINDH.

@Asma Create Mohajir province where there is you Mohajir type culture and language; unfortunately Pakistani provinces are full of culture and language.

@mohammed Because Punjab was already divided between India and Pakistan. Moreover those living in Punjab are the century old people. These people who still want to be called 'Mohajir' rather than 'Sindhis'; should also lodge request to other lands of Pakistan - as long as they do not want to be comfortable calling themselves 'Sindhis'.

@meer division of Sindh has no relation with division Pakistan hope you clear your head .

no division of sindh acceptable. if punjabis want to divide punjab they can

why the mQm waint the division of the sindh ? that can not happen sindh can not be divided that is misunderstanding to mqm

Disagree

We Strongly condemn the division of Sindh at any cost. We shall never ever accept division of Sindh by any way... We advise Altaf Hussain and MQM persons to forgive MUHAJIR word and call their selves as SINDHI only...

I do agree with Naseem sb, We Strongly condemn the division of Sindh at any cost. We shall never ever accept division of Sindh by any way... We advise Altaf Hussain and MQM persons to forgive MUHAJIR word and call their selves as SINDHI only...

No divisoin of Sind allowed

Don't Worry our Muhajir Brothers We all sindhies are with you for this cause & finding a place in the Bays of Sindh where you can enjoy with fishes with a new province.. :)

@Youth : Quota system was initially imposed by Liaquat Ali khan for us as migrants, we welcomed it then continued it. We the dwellers of Karachi are more interested in corporate sector rather than government sector. If it is supposed that qouta system ruined some ones future, it is logic behind separate province from Sindh as muhajirs. Don't be the part of that propaganda, country already faces huge problems. PPP already ruined Sindh from Karachi to Kashmore and this political gain of both the parties will further destroy this province and country. Ethnic divide is nothing but bloodshed.

Big noooooooooooooo to the MQM demand of division of Sindh. They will never success in the conspiracy against integrity of Sindh.

disagre

Sindhi is not want an other province .this agenda of pakistan's enemies.

Sindh is one entity, which is not division able. Can not be Divided in Sindh-1 or Sindh-2. Sindhi We are Nation as per 1940 Qarardad I Pakistan. We have geography, rich Language and is creator Pakistan. We have historical back ground. Many come in Sindh and they become merged in Sindhi Nation. Arabs, Turkhans, Mangols,Pathans. If any person living in Sindh, not merged in the Sindhi Nation his thinking shows superiority and separate entity. The ruling parties on Sindh raised this issue for their survival and for vote bank remained intact, because both parties looses their credibility in their communities.Both parties not represents the all Sindhis and Urdu speakings in Sindh. At gross root level Sindhis and Urdu speakings are brother each other. There is no raw material available at gross root level that Sindhis and Urdu speakings hate each other. Urdu speakings are part of Sindhi Nation and they are SINDHI. Politicians wants to Divide and Rule. Although history reviled that in each and every regimen the party who is claiming that he is representatives of Urdu speakings worked with our feudal Lards. Urdu speakings are also in other parties and also many Sindhis are also in many other parties.Both Parties wants to we play game on their Pitch, but we will play on own pitch. For development of Sindh unity is necessary. SINDH IS ONE WHICH IS NOT DIVISION ABLE. SINDH WILL REMAIN ONE. UNITY UNITY VICTORY VICTORY. Common peoples of both communities believe in unity, but the politicians not want due to their wasted political interests. My humble request to intellectuals from Sindhi Community and Urdu Community to come forward with vision and wisdom for our future generations and decide way forward for both communities who are permanent residence of Sindh province.

In any condition unacceptable division of sindh.

In any condition unacceptable division of sindh.

In any condition unacceptable division of sindh.
