ISLAMABAD: Vice-President of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the party’s Parliamentary Leader in the Senate, Senator Sherry Rehman, on Tuesday rejected the debate on the division of Sindh and termed the ongoing discussion regarding the division of the province as factually incorrect. She stressed the need to bring the matter to a logical conclusion.
“We have said what we had to in unequivocal terms. The ‘debate’ on the division of Sindh needs to move to a realistic close because there’s really no debate when it’s based on myth-making,” she said in a statement on the social media platform X.
She said there could be no change in any province’s borders without a two-thirds majority in the relevant provincial assembly.
“That is the bottom line,” she said. She added that it was unfortunate that some members of the federal cabinet from Sindh were even involved in spewing toxic rhetoric that inflamed sentiments across the federation.
Senator Sherry Rehman said the politics of ethnic division have no place in modern Pakistan, as that era of sponsored, spurious politics is over. “Nor can we even accept a discussion conducted on purely non-democratic grounds,” she stated.
