The issue of the creation of new provinces has become a
hotly debated one. It has started with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(Hazara) and Punjab (Saraiki and Bahawalpur) but may not
begin or end there. While supporting the creation of new
provinces may appear an easy way out for the politicians, it is
going to be a difficult task to actually carve them out. Once the
genie is out it will not be possible to force it back into the bottle.
Like creation of new districts, addition of provinces would
become a political appeasement tool in a run up to each election.
At the end of the day, country is likely to end up having a
provincial map very close to an existing administrative entity
called ‘Division’.1
In this paper, an effort has been made to
discuss the issue of the creation of new provinces in Pakistan.
This paper starts with explanation of federation and its units. It
will move on to discuss what will be its negative implications on
the future of this land as well its creation of sub units on ethnic
and administrative lines. A constitutional debate will follow to
assess what the 1973 constitution says about having more
provinces.
