The statement of Punjab Chief Minister surprised many circles of Pakistan as no party has
demanded the creation of Karachi as new Province.Sindh’s PPP minister Agha Siraj Durrani said that they will never allow the break-up of the province, while an MQM spokesman said that MQM will not let Sindh be distributed under any circumstances. An ANP spokesman from Sindh said that Sharif’s statement regarding the distribution of Sindh has greatly disappointed the people of this province.
