Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has strongly reacted to statements by federal ministers regarding the creation of new provinces and administrative units, saying that national decisions should be made by genuine representatives elected by the people not by those who are a “product of Form 47.”
Addressing the Sindh Assembly, Sharjeel Memon termed statements against the 18th Amendment and provincial autonomy deeply regrettable. Addressing Federal Ministers Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, Ahsan Iqbal, Khawaja Asif and Mustafa Kamal, he said that if they have reservations about the 18th Amendment or provincial powers, they should come to Parliament and present their position instead of making statements through the media.
Sharjeel Memon said that those who were not elected through the people’s vote have no right to decide the future of the nation.
He said the 18th Amendment granted greater autonomy to the provinces, enabling Sindh to make significant progress in sectors including health, education, energy and infrastructure. The establishment of modern healthcare facilities and universities in cities such as Sukkur, he added, is among the benefits of provincial autonomy.
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Sindh has also rejected statements regarding the creation of new provinces, describing them as interference in Sindh’s constitutional status. The party made it clear that there would be no compromise on the unity of Sindh, the 18th Amendment, provincial autonomy, or constitutional rights.

The world map you grew up seeing may not represent the true size of countries and continents. 🌍
The Mercator projection makes Greenland appear almost as large as Africa, even though Africa is about 14 times bigger. A new Equal Earth-style projection aims to show the world’s landmasses more accurately.
But why has this sparked controversy, particularly over India, Kashmir and Ladakh?
One map can change the way we see the entire world. Do you think maps should prioritize geographical accuracy over traditional projections?

A high-level committee has proposed a 27-member elected Islamabad Capital Territory Assembly, with its own Chief Executive and 27 administrative departments.
The proposal would give Islamabad greater administrative and financial autonomy, with elected representatives overseeing areas including health, education, environment and municipal services. Law and order and master planning would remain under the federal government.
The proposed Islamabad Capital Territory Government Act 2026 would require approval by the federal cabinet and Parliament before becoming law.
