PESHAWAR: Calling for caution in decisions regarding the creation of new provinces, PTI Interim Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on Wednesday warned that any step taken in haste and without consensus could harm the federation.
“Good governance is needed in every province. But the creation of new provinces is not the only solution to improve governance, there are other ways, too. It should not be done in haste, and without consensus. It’s very good to have a discussion on this issue,” he said, while speaking to the media at the Peshawar High Court.
“However, making hasty decisions, going against the will of the people, imposing own decisions [on them], bulldozing such decisions through parliament or new constitutional amendments in such times of turmoil will only add to the problems people are facing instead of resolving issues. Therefore, this should be avoided,” he said.
Commenting on PTI’s planned march on Islamabad on Sept 27, Barrister Gohar said it would be peaceful and solely a “justice march”.
