Overview
- The Sindh Assembly unanimously adopted the resolution at a session that concluded Thursday, rejecting any proposal to alter the province’s territorial limits or create a new province out of Sindh.
- The text cites Article 239(4) of the Constitution, which says a provincial assembly must pass any amendment affecting its boundaries by a two‑thirds majority before it can go to the president for assent.
- MQM‑P lawmakers said they want stronger administrative units to fix Karachi’s governance problems and not a breakup of Sindh, but they staged a walkout and did not cast votes on the resolution.
- Sindhi nationalist groups have announced street protests beginning September 20 and provincial leaders warned that any attempt to change boundaries without assembly consent could spark unrest and law‑and‑order risks.
- Federal voices remain split — some officials call the debate premature while others have proposed sweeping province‑creation plans — so the vote raises the legal and political obstacles any national restructuring would face and keeps governance reform as a separate, unresolved demand.
