Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani said on Friday that other Divisions including Bahawalpur, would be consulted on the issue of creation of a new province.
He was talking to the media after inaugurating the widening, improvement and construction of the Qasim Bela link road to Aviation Chowk, costing Rs 61 million.
On a question about Seraiki province, the PM said that he had already announced making it part of the PPP manifesto at a public gathering in Jalalpur Pirwala. However, he said other divisions including Bahawalpur would be taken into confidence on the issue.
The Prime Minister said that not even a single political force was opposing the creation of a new province in the region.
He said the talks with PML-Q were underway and President Asif Ali Zardari would announce about the final outcome in this regard.
He strongly supported the reconciliation policy of government which would bring about economic stability in the country. “Political stability will ensure prosperity in the country. Our reconciliation policy will also set a precedent for next governments,” he added.
To a question on drone attacks, the Prime Minister said the government had taken a stance on the attacks and presented its point of view before Parliament. “The government is also in contact with friendly countries to muster support to stop the drone attacks,” he added.
On electricity shortage, he said an energy conference would be convened and chief ministers of the four provinces would discus the steps to overcome the crisis.
