LAHORE: Senior Federal Minister and PML-Q leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said that a Hazara and South Punjab province will come into existence soon.

Speaking at Lahore Press Club with media persons, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said that the PML-Q was the first party to raise the slogan for a South Punjab province and that there was peace during his partys 5-year tenure in the province.

He said that the current provincial governments incompetence has led to the rise in religious extremism.
