No objection to Hazara province, says Nawaz
LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief Nawaz Sharif has said that his party had no objection to the creation of a new province for the people of the Hazara belt, a private TV channel reported on Wednesday. “No one can alter the opinion of the masses. If the people of Hazara are in favour of a separate province, we have no objection to it,” Nawaz told a press conference in Haripur, where he was on a visit along with Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and other party leaders. About the PML-Q’s accusations over the renaming of NWFP, Nawaz said the PML-Q itself was politically exploiting the situation. He called on every political party to try to calm the people of Hazara.
