This sudden obsession with formation of new provinces is downright SILLY! WRONG idea at a wrong time, when Pakistan faces a polarized polity, weak economy & foreign-sponsored Terrorism! Identify the SOLUTION, not create new PROBLEMS! Way Forward is simple but STRONG steps: 1) Good governance depends on professional civil service & police, NOT politicized bureaucracy as is norm now; 2) Implement Article 140A of Constitution, Devolution, via elected Local Governments, which ALL provinces avoid; 3) Chief Ministers of provinces behave like Regional Warlords with an imperial ‘Mughal Mindset’, squandering money right & left, totally unchecked! Strengthen Federation, not weaken it through simplistic unworkable formulas! As the American saying goes: “if it ain’t broke, DONT fix it”!

New Provinces? A Costly Distraction Pakistan Can’t Afford

Continuing the debate on calls to break Pakistan into 12—or even 32-provinces, the below article by Mr. Ahmed Bilal Mehboob clearly explains why such calls are misleading.

While proponents of more provinces argue it will fix governance, in reality, it is impractical, unaffordable, and a dangerous distraction.

In my earlier post — “32 Provinces? A Dangerous Distraction” — I argued that breaking up provinces would only:

Inflate bureaucracy and political costs

Deepen ethnic and regional divides

Distract from urgent reforms in tax, exports, health, and education

Ahmed Bilal Mehboob, in the below article, reinforces this view with sharp analysis:

India is not a valid comparison due to its unitary leaning constitution & composition — its state reorganisation was driven by violent linguistic movements, and a multi-year commission process. Pakistan’s federation structure makes such changes politically and constitutionally far more complex and unfeasible.

The economic burden is prohibitive — assemblies, cabinets, high courts, secretariats, and infrastructure for each new province would impose huge costs we cannot afford, besides huge waste of time that will be spent in resolving unresolvable differences on most such issues.

The real issue is not the number of provinces, but a lack of devolution — what Pakistan needs is empowered and effective local governments, not redrawn maps.

Both analyses converge on one truth: Pakistan doesn’t need more provinces. It needs better governance, stronger institutions, and genuine grassroots devolution.

Correction: In democracy, only Parliament matters. Supreme Court, executive and everything else is subordinate to legislature: the sooner we accept this as a nation, the quicker we progress.

President Zardari has signed the bill banning child marriages.

Council of Islamic Ideology declared it "Un-Islamic" yesterday.

This further proves my point that such useless advisories and authorities should be abolished. In democracy, only Parliament and Supreme Court matter.

I knew Pakistan provided a diplomatic passport to Ahmed Bulferg of Morocco in 1952, so he can speak at the UN for Moroccan independence.
But I only recently discovered that Pakistan also provided nationality to Ahmed Ben Bella, of Algeria in 1956 so he can address the UN....

Not everyone will appreciate what you do for them. Don’t be disillusioned. Don’t be discouraged as there are many ungrateful people out there. When you do good to please the Almighty, their ingratitude becomes irrelevant. Focus your energy on pleasing Him.

@ghauraghaura A victory against an enemy that is 6x larger with jets which are like 280 million each and outnumbered PAF 2:1 that victory isn’t logical. It comes from Allah. That’s it. That’s what David and Goliath is and all the stories in Bible and Quran are about.
