Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has formally demanded the creation of a new province within Sindh, Pakistan, arguing it is an “unavoidable necessity.” The party believes a separate urban province is crucial to address the longstanding grievances of Urdu-speaking and other communities in the region. MQM-P claims existing administrative structures have consistently failed to deliver equitable development and representation for urban Sindh. The demand follows recent negotiations with the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), where the issue was reportedly discussed. While the PPP has previously expressed openness to considering new administrative units, significant political hurdles remain. Analysts suggest the demand is a key bargaining chip for MQM-P as it seeks to maximize its influence ahead of upcoming elections and secure greater resources for its constituents. The creation of a new province would require constitutional amendments and widespread political consensus.
