Jadoon said that creation of more provinces in the country was the need of the hour and would contribute to prosperity and solidarity of the country, adding that the people of Hazara were doing great efforts for this cause.
He said that Hazara division was a fertile region with forests, minerals, precious stones, and a great variety of natural resources, which could support its independent existence. Jadoon said that Hindko was a great language and deserved a status like Sindhi, Balochi, Pushto and Punjabi languages. He said that while the issue of Hazara province was fading, the MQM brought it back in parliament.
The HPMC spokesman said the population of the Hazara division was not less than one million; and the people of Hazara were demanding their right for the last three decades.
