This episode is the second part of our discussion on the debate over creating new provinces in Pakistan. In the first part, we looked at how the demand for new administrative units has re-emerged in national politics and the questions it raises about governance and representation. In this episode of Pakistan Today, Mr. Ahmed Bilal Mehboob continues the discussion and examines the case for new provinces more closely. He argues that the correct basis for creating new provinces is population and representation, in line with countries such as the United States, and explains what this would mean for Pakistan's federal structure.Watch the full episode for an informed discussion on the principles, the constitutional requirements, and the political challenges surrounding this demand.#PakistanToday #ABMExplains #AhmedBilalMehboob #NewProvinces #PakistanPolitics #PakistanGovernance #Federalism #28thAmendment #SouthPunjab #ConstitutionalReforms #Governance #PublicPolicy #Democracy #Pakistan
What Should the Basis for New Provinces Be? A Lesson From the American System | ABM Explains
The debate over creating new provinces in Pakistan has resurfaced, often accompanied by comparisons with neighbouring India. Since independence, India has reorganised its administrative map more than once, first through the large-scale reorganisation of states in the 1950s, largely along linguistic lines, and later through the creation of additional states on regional and administrative grounds.In this episode of Pakistan Today, Mr. Ahmed Bilal Mehboob examines how India approached the creation of new provinces and considers what lessons, if any, that experience holds for Pakistan. He offers context on the reasoning behind such decisions and what they could mean for Pakistan's federal structure and administrative future.
