ISLAMABAD: Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) Senator Raza Rabbani on Friday opposed the idea of debating over new provinces in the National Assembly (NA), FTNews reported.
In a candid discussion with media representatives in the parliament house, Rabbani said debating the idea of forming new provinces in the NA was reflective of a centrist mindset.
He said a debate on a resolution in the NA to form new provinces was unconstitutional and illegal.
He said the constitution required that a resolution over the formation of a new province should first be passed in the respective provincial assembly and then be brought for debate in the parliament.
