The new provinces are necessary for national welfare, security and prosperity, reported Geo News citing the MQM chief, Altaf Hussain, in a statement from London.
All Parties Conference (APC) should be called for the formation of new administrative units, he said, adding that the administrative changes were required to be made in view of the rising population of Pakistan.
