MQM-P calls for national dialogue on creation of new provinces
Most outlets reported that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) called for a national dialogue on the creation of new provinces, with a focus on population and administrative needs. Several, including Dawn, Geo News, and Business Recorder, noted the party's emphasis on Sindh's case for additional administrative units. A few, such as 24 News HD and The Nation, mentioned the MQM-P’s plan to approach the Supreme Court over the stalled provinces issue. While the framing was largely consistent, some outlets like BOL News and Daily Times highlighted the growing debate around the issue, and The Nation included a reference to a rejection of any new province plans by a PM’s adviser.
