The Punjab should be given a larger share because of its population but the other provinces should also be given their due right, he said. He said Sindh was providing maximum revenue to the country and therefore flexibility would have to be shown to this point while sharing national resources among the provinces. We should adopt measures that could strengthen Pakistan," Mr Mahar said.
"We cannot reduce the population of the Punjab or to increase ours to match it, and therefore will have to consider this point. Sindh too was generating maximum revenue but the NWFP was also demanding bigger share.
Indeed, Balochistan had the largest area and the Punjab population. He said every province had the right to express its point of view over the NFC Award. But we would have to sit together for the resolution of our problems," he said. "We are not immature to fight for our rights. Mr Mahar said his government did not want resolution of differences or issues through conflict. All the four chief ministers must therefore work towards this end. The past governments used to implicate opponents in cases on political grounds but his government would deal with Mr Afaq fairly and purely on legal grounds, he said.Ībout a consensus among the provinces, he said coordination was necessary among them for fortifying Pakistan. Replying to a question on the reported arrest of MQM Haqeeqi's Afaq Ahmad, Mr Mahar said he faced cases but the provincial government would not give him any unjust treatment. He was speaking at the Meet the Press programme of the Lahore Press Club and answering questions of reporters. He expressed the hope that the Sindh Assembly speaker will take action.LAHORE, April 3: Sindh Chief Minister Ali Muhammad Mahar urged here on Saturday the need for considering the viewpoint of all provinces to amicably resolve all inter-provincial issues like the NFC Award and the Kalabagh Dam. PPP leader and minister Nasir Shah dubbed the assembly proceedings as “highly unpleasant”. “They had come on their own,” she claimed. She dispelled the impression that it was PPP which had asked estranged PTI members to come to the assembly. PPP leader said she feared for the life of PTI dissident Karim Bux Gabol. “Such kind of chaos was seen during the time of MQM-Haqeeqi,” Shehla recalled. She further said that the hooliganism that was witnessed in the Sindh Assembly on Tuesday (today) had few parallels. She said she had told PTI members of the assembly that their ‘violent’ behaviour was being filmed and would be shown to the ECP officials, but they did not pay any heed. “And when I asked one of them not to beat up their fellow party men, even I was pushed,” she alleged. Meanwhile, PPP leader Shehla Raza, while talking to the media, said that when she saw PTI legislators dragging their estranged party members, she stopped them. “Provincial Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the DIG are their servants,” he alleged. The Opposition Leader in the Sindh Assembly also called upon the Rangers to lay siege to the assembly building since, what he alleged, the PPP had converted the legislature into a ‘Red Light’ area. Haleem Adil Sheikh said that on behalf of opposition in the SA, he condemned Tuesday’s (today) events, and appealed to the Supreme Court as well as the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take a notice. “We will lodge FIRs against them since today they have beaten up our members and have proven that they are ‘terrorists’,” he said, and addressing PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari added, “Bilawal, you are not the son of Benazir, but of a terrorist.” Later, talking to the media outside the assembly building, Opposition Leader belonging to the PTI Haleem Adil Sheikh said today everybody had seen PPP members’ ‘unruly’ behaviour. Later, members of PPP and PTI were at each other’s throats when the latter saw the former intervening to calm down the nerves. This led to an intervention by members of the PPP who had to separate PTI members from the dissidents of the party. The scuffle started when PTI members attacked three estranged members of their party on their arrival in the assembly.
