巴基斯坦正义运动党（PTI）4月份再提关于旁遮普省南部
分省的事情，详见下文。
正义运动党是现在巴基斯坦第三大党，板球明星伊姆兰汗是该党领袖，并且是现任巴基斯坦总理。该党也在隔壁的开伯尔普什图省执政。该党貌似支持南旁遮普省分立，政治原因可能是旁遮普省太大，该党无力拿下，但南旁遮普省则尚可一博。
同时，该党认为分省的主要目的是
行政便利，改变当地长期受忽视的境遇，加快脱贫致富。该党反对在该地按照
民族民系分省，只支持按照地域划分。该党也反对设立巴哈瓦尔布尔省（应该是不愿看到变相恢复巴哈瓦尔布尔土邦），但是支持巴哈瓦尔布尔成为南旁遮普省省会（也就是巴哈瓦尔布尔是南旁遮普的一部分）。
当然，PTI只是第三大党。文中称PIT这么说有大选议题的因素。不过这倒是说明，南旁遮普省是否分立的话题，在巴基斯坦也算是一个正经话题。
第一条评论者称巴基斯坦应该分为21个省（可能是1000万人1省）

MULTAN: A meeting of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) core committee is going to be held within a week in which the party will come up with its point of view on the issue of creation of a south Punjab province, says Jahangir Khan Tareen.
Speaking to Dawn a day after eight PML-N legislators quit the party to form a front of their own with a pledge to create a new province, Mr Tareen said he was personally in favour of a new province having three divisions of Multan, Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan but the party’s core committee would declare its official stance in a formal meeting within a week.
“I am in favour of creation of one province but don’t support the idea to create Bahawalpur a province. Bahawalpur should instead be made the capital of the proposed province,” said the PTI’s former general secretary.
Highlighting the fact that the area is being ignored for long as far as the distribution of resources is concerned, he said the creation of a new province would also help strengthen the federation.
“The size of Punjab was further increased by including Bahawalpur State in it when the one unit was abolished,” he said.
He said that in order to improve the governance Punjab should be divided and a new province established on administrative rather on linguistic grounds.
“Creation of new province on linguistic and cultural grounds will complicate the issue.”
He said the size of three divisions was sufficient to be given the status of a province and neither Jhang nor Bhakkar be included in it.
Meanwhile, Rana Qasim Noon, one of the PML-N legislators who announced being part of Janobi Punjab Soba Mahaaz after ditching the PML-N, said Mianwali, Bhakkar and Jhang should be included in the new province as these districts are considered part of south Punjab. He said the new province should be established on administrative grounds. He reiterated that there were others who would join the front.
“The area has been kept deprived and the party leaders did not pay attention to our repeated requests to end the backwardness of this area,” he said. He said the Punjab government even failed to establish the sub civil secretariat in Multan which was promised.
He said the members of the front could join a party or go for an alliance with it if it includes the creation of a new province in its manifesto.
“We are in the initial stage of our struggle. Our doors are open for all political parties and any decision to join or make alliance will be taken with the consent of all members of the front,” he said.
He made it clear that the new front wanted one province and opposed the creation of Bahawalpur province and that’s why it had included one parliamentarian from each of three districts of Bahawalpur division – Rahim Yar Khan, Bahawalnagar and Bahawalpur,” he said.
Tehmina Daultana of the PML-N said it was her party that had the resolutions passed in favour of two new provinces. “However, it is not the right time to do so as elections are near and the process to create provinces needs time,” she said.“We spent 46pc of Punjab’s budget on southern Punjab. A number of development projects were initiated and we are proud of it,” she said.

新省问题：PTI将在一周内分享其观点，Tareen说Shakeel Ahmed2018年4月11日更新Facebook伯爵14Twitter分享 7
MULTAN：Jahangir说，巴基斯坦Tehreek-i-Insaf（PTI）核心委员会的会议将在一周内举行，届时该党将就设立南旁遮普省的问题提出自己的观点。汗Tareen。
在8名PML-N立法者退出党派以形成他们自己的阵线并承诺建立一个新省之后的第二天，Tareen先生说，他个人支持新的省有Multan，Bahawalpur和Dera Ghazi Khan但该党的核心委员会将在一周内的正式会议上宣布其官方立场。“我赞成建立一个省，但不支持创建巴哈瓦尔布尔省的想法。巴哈瓦尔布尔应该成为拟议省份的首都，“PTI的前总书记说。
他强调，就资源分配而言，该地区长期被忽视这一事实，他说，建立新省也有助于加强联邦。“当一个单位被废除时，包括巴哈瓦尔布尔州在内的旁遮普邦的规模进一步增加，”他说。
他说，为了改善治理，旁遮普应该分裂，新的省建立在行政而非语言的基础上。“在语言和文化方面建立新省将使问题复杂化。”
他说，三个部门的规模足以被赋予一个省的地位，Jhang和Bhakkar都不包括在内。同时，Pana-N立法者之一Rana Qasim Noon在放弃PML-N之后宣布成为Janobi Punjab Soba Mahaaz的一员，他说Mianwali，Bhakkar和Jhang应该被列入新省，因为这些地区被认为是南部的一部分旁遮普邦。他说，新省应该以行政为由建立。他重申，还有其他人会加入前线。
“该地区一直被剥夺，党内领导人没有注意到我们一再要求结束这一地区的落后，”他说。他说旁遮普政府甚至未能在承诺的木尔坦建立子民事秘书处。他说，如果前线成员包括在其宣言中建立一个新省，那么前线成员可以参加一个政党或与之结盟。
“我们正处于斗争的初始阶段。我们的大门向所有政党开放，任何加入或结盟的决定都将征得前线所有成员的同意，“他说。他明确表示，新阵线需要一个省，反对巴哈瓦尔布尔省的建立，这就是为什么它包括一个来自巴哈瓦尔布尔分区三个区的议员 - 拉希姆亚尔汗，巴哈瓦尔纳加尔和巴哈瓦尔布尔，“他说。
PML-N的Tehmina Daultana表示，她的政党通过了有利于两个新省份的决议。“然而，现在不是时候这样做，因为选举即将来临，创建省份的过程需要时间，”她说，“我们在旁遮普省南部花了46％的旁遮普预算。一些发展项目已经启动，我们为此感到自豪，“她说。发表于2018年4月11日黎明
