صدر زرداری سے ملاقاتیں نتیجہ خیز ثابت نہیں ہو رہیں ، ذرائع کے مطابق صدر نئے صوبوں یا انتظامی یونٹس کے معاملے پر اپنے موقف سے ہٹنے کو تیار نہیں ہیں اور اتفاق رائے سے فیصلوں کا مشورہ دے رہے ہیں۔ #نئے_صوبے

According to the report, President Zardari is not prepared to change his principled position on the sensitive issue of creating new provinces or administrative units. He has maintained that major decisions involving constitutional or geographical changes to provinces should be taken through consultation and consensus among all political stakeholders rather than through unilateral pressure.

The debate over administrative restructuring has intensified in recent weeks. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has publicly called for a restructuring of the country’s administrative system and the creation of new administrative units, while the PPP has maintained that such matters should be addressed through constitutional and political forums.

The Sindh Assembly also recently passed a resolution rejecting proposals to divide Sindh or alter its territorial boundaries, underscoring the sensitivity of the issue in the province.
